SMN controls neuromuscular junction integrity through U7 snRNP
1 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is an essential synapse whose loss is a key hallmark of the neurodegenerative disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Here, we show that activity of the SMA-determining SMN protein in the assembly of U7 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP)-which functions in the 3'-end processing of replication-dependent histone mRNAs-is required for NMJ integrity. Co-expression of U7-specific...
