Abstract excerpt
U2AF1 is involved in the recognition of the 3' splice site during pre-mRNA splicing. Mutations in U2AF1 are frequently observed in myelodysplastic syndromes. However, the role of wild-type U2AF1 in normal hematopoiesis has remained elusive. Using a novel conditional U2af1 knockout allele, we have found that deletion of U2af1 results in profound defects in hematopoiesis characterized by pancytopenia, ablation of...
