Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a disease that results from mutations in the Survival of Motor Neuron (SMN) gene 1, leading to muscle atrophy due to motor neurons degeneration. SMN plays a crucial role in the assembly of spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes via binding to the arginine-glycine rich C-terminal tails of Sm proteins recognized by SMN Tudor domain. E134K Tudor mutation, cause of the...
