Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described herein are methods for the identification or validation of compounds capable of causing ribosomal frameshifting and the use of the compounds identified by the methods described herein to produce a stabilized SMNΔEx7 protein and treat Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A method for the identification of a compound that produces a stabilized SMNΔEx7 protein comprising: (A) contacting a compound with either a host cell containing an mRNA transcript transcribed from a nucleic acid construct, or a composition comprising a cell-free extract and an mRNA transcript transcribed from a nucleic acid construct, wherein the nucleic acid construct comprises, in 5′ to 3′ order: (a) a start codon; (b) a fragment of the nucleic acid resid…
