SRSF protein kinase 1 modulates RAN translation and suppresses CGG repeat toxicity
Abstract Transcribed CGG repeat expansions cause neurodegeneration in Fragile X‐associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). CGG repeat RNAs sequester RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) into nuclear foci and undergo repeat‐associated non‐AUG (RAN) translation into toxic peptides. To identify proteins involve...
