| T1 |
0-131 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Mutations in tau gene exon 10 associated with FTDP-17 alter the activity of an exonic splicing enhancer to interact with Tra2 beta. |
| T2 |
132-286 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Mutations in the human tau gene leading to aberrant splicing have been identified in FTDP-17, an autosomal dominant hereditary neurodegenerative disorder. |
| T3 |
287-380 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Molecular mechanisms by which such mutations cause tau aberrant splicing were not understood. |
| T4 |
381-458 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We characterized two mutations in exon 10 of the tau gene, N279K and Del280K. |
| T5 |
459-535 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our results revealed an exonic splicing enhancer element located in exon 10. |
| T6 |
536-626 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The activity of this AG-rich splicing enhancer was altered by N279K and Del280K mutations. |
| T7 |
627-695 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This exonic enhancer element interacts with human Tra2 beta protein. |
| T8 |
696-841 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The interaction between Tra2 beta and the exonic splicing enhancer correlates with the activity of this enhancer element in stimulating splicing. |
| T9 |
842-1034 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Biochemical studies including in vitro splicing and RNA interference experiments in transfected cells support a role for Tra2 beta protein in regulating alternative splicing of human tau gene. |
| T10 |
1035-1269 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our results implicate the human tau gene as a target gene for the alternative splicing regulator Tra2 beta, suggesting that Tra2 beta may play a role in aberrant tau exon 10 alternative splicing and in the pathogenesis of tauopathies. |
