Disease relevance of RNU7P1

 

High impact information on RNU7P1

  • Efficient 3'-end processing of cell cycle-regulated mammalian histone premessenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs) requires an upstream stem-loop and a histone downstream element (HDE) that base pairs with the U7 small ribonucleoprotein [2].
  • We used Xenopus oocytes to ask whether compensatory length insertions in the human U7 RNA could restore the fidelity and efficiency of processing of mouse histone insertion pre-mRNAs [2].
  • Exon skipping with U7 gene transfer [3].
 

Biological context of RNU7P1

  • Yet, the noncomplementary insertion mutant U7 was shown to be active on insertion substrates further mutated to allow base pairing [2].
