Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the AARS2 gene are linked to infantile cardiomyopathy; however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unknown. Here we report that PCBP1, a poly(rC) binding protein, interacts with the AARS2 transcript to mediate its alternative splicing. Cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of Pcbp1 in mice impairs normal splicing and causes premature termination of Aars2, leading to defects in heart development and...
