Abstract excerpt
In vertebrates, two genes, Musashi1 (Msi1) and Musashi2 (Msi2), encode for highly similar Musashi protein paralogs. The Musashi proteins are known to bind to 3'-UTRs and control translation. In photoreceptor cells, the Musashi proteins promote the inclusion of photoreceptor-specific alternative exons by binding to the proximal downstream of their introns. While the Musashi proteins are expressed in various cell...
