5. While the above conclusions are firmly supported by the experimental data presented, we discuss and justify the need of deep proteomic techniques for the study of SMN complex components (orphan and bound) turn-over to understand the physiological relevant mechanisms of degradation of SMN and SMNDelta7 (SMN1 and SMN2)in the cell. PMID: 29292768

Also, an interaction of SMN6B with Gemin2 was found. PMID: 27481219

Study examined the effect of 2 mutations on SMN protein expression: a G-to-C transversion, leading to a tryptophan-to-serine substitution (p.Trp92Ser) in the Tudor domain; and a single thymine insertion between nucleotides 819 and 820 in exon 6 that causes a frameshift, changing all the amino acids of the C-terminal domain from the point of the mutation onward (p.Thr274Tyrfs). Mutations may affect stability and levels. PMID: 28366534
