A Therapeutic Double Whammy: Transcriptional or Post-transcriptional Suppression of Microsatellite Repeat Toxicity by Cas9.

Abstract:

:Microsatellite expansion diseases are caused by unstable tandem repeats of 3-10 nucleotides that become pathogenic beyond a threshold number of copies. Two groups present different approaches to reduce pathogenesis by targeting deactivated Cas9 to either the DNA (Pinto et al., 2017) or the RNA (Batra et al., 2017) repeats with therapeutic potential for several diseases.

  • A splicing-independent function of SF2/ASF in microRNA processing.

    abstract::Both splicing factors and microRNAs are important regulatory molecules that play key roles in posttranscriptional gene regulation. By miRNA deep sequencing, we identified 40 miRNAs that are differentially expressed upon ectopic overexpression of the splicing factor SF2/ASF. Here we show that SF2/ASF and one of its upr...
