Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention includes an isolated nucleic acid comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a SMNΔ7 degron and the encoded polypeptide. The invention also includes inhibitors of SMNΔ7 degron. The invention also includes compositions and methods for mitigating SMN deficiency by targeting inhibition of factors that mediate SMNΔ7-degron dependent degradation of SMNΔ7.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. An isolated nucleic acid encoding a chimeric polypeptide comprising a degradation signal sequence and a target sequence, wherein the degradation signal sequence consists of SEQ ID NO. 3 or SEQ ID NO. 14. 2. An isolated nucleic acid consisting of SEQ ID NO. 3 or SEQ ID NO. 14, wherein said nucleic acid is operably linked to sequence of a vector.
