New investigation results, 'Evidence for a direct role of the disease modifier SCNM1 in splicing,' are detailed in a study published in Human Molecular Genetics. "We originally isolated Scnm1 as a disease modifier gene that is required for efficient in vivo splicing of a mutant splice donor site in the sodium channel Scn8a. It was previously unclear whether the modifier effect on splicing was direct or indirect," investigators in the United States report.
"We now report evidence that sodium channel modifier 1 (SCNM1) has a direct role in splicing. SCNM1 protein interacts with the spliceosome protein U1-70K in the yeast two-hybrid system, and is co-localized with...
