<i>PABPN1</i>loss-of-function in oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy primarily impacts APA-shift in muscle transcripts
2023-08-21
Abstract excerpt
Alternative polyadenylation (APA) at the 3’UTR of transcripts contributes to the cell transcriptome. APA is suppressed by the nuclear RNA binding protein, PABPN1. Aging-associated reduced PABPN1 levels in skeletal muscles lead to muscle wasting. Muscle weakness in oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is caused by short alanine expansion in PABPN1 exon1. The expanded PABPN1 forms nuclear aggregates, an OPMD ha...
