RNase H1 counteracts DNA damage and ameliorates SMN-dependent phenotypes in a <i>Drosophila</i> model of Spinal Muscular Atrophy
2025-04-19
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is caused by a deficiency of the Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) protein. Mutations in SMN disrupt mRNA splicing and translation, leading to maladaptive changes in transcriptomes, proteomes, neuroinflammation, and metabolism, which drive motor neuron degeneration in SMA patients. Using a Drosophila SMA model, we found that systemic depletion of Smn leads to accumulatio...
