摘要

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a com- mon motor neuron degenerative disease and the leading senetic cause of death of young children. The survival of motor neurons (SMN)gene, the SMA disease gene, is homozygously deleted or mutated in more than 98 of SMA patients. The SMN protein interacts with itself, with SMN-interacting protein l, and with several spliceosomal small nuclear ribo- nucleoprotein (snRNP) Sm proteins. A complex containing SMN plays a critical role in spliceosomal snRNP assembly and in pre-mRNA splicing. SMN mutants found in SMA patients show reduced selfassociation and lack the capacity to regen- erate the splicing machinery. Here we demonstrate that SMN mutants found in SMA patients are defective in binding to Sm proteins. Morcover, we show that SMN, but not mutants found in SMA patients, can form large oligomers and that SMN oligomerization is required for high-affinity binding to spli- ceosomal snRNP Sm proteins. These findings directly link the impaired interaction between SMN and Sm proteins to a defect in snRNP metabolism and to SMA.
