pubmed:abstractText
Homozygous mutations of the telomeric survival motor neurone gene (SMN1) cause spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). The centromeric copy gene (SMN2) generally skips exon 7 during splicing and fails to compensate for SMN1 deficits, so SMA cells have reduced SMN protein and few nuclear gems. To investigate the role of exon 7 in SMN localisation, cDNAs for full-length SMN and SMNDeltaexon 7 were overexpressed in COS cells, neurones and SMA fibroblasts. Both constructs formed discrete intranuclear bodies colocalising with p80-coilin, but produced more cytoplasmic aggregates in cells overexpressing exon 7. Hence, the exon 7 domain enhances SMN aggregation but is not critical for gem formation.
