Background:
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord. SMA is caused by deletion or loss-of-function mutations in the SMN (survival of motor neuron) gene. Gemin2 (formerly known as SIP1 for SMN interacting protein) associates directly with SMN and is a part of the SMN complex containing Gemin3 (a DEAD-box RNA helicase), Gemin4, Gemin5 and Gemin6, as well as several spliceosomal snRNP proteins. The SMN complex plays an essential role in splicesomal snRNP assembly in the cytoplasm and is required for pre-mRNA splicing of the nucleus. It is found in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. The nuclear form is concentrated in subnuclear bodies called gems (Gemini of the coiled bodies). The SMN-Gemin2 complex is associated with spliceosomal snRNAs U1 and U5. Gemin2 is expressed in spinal cord. It can be induced by TGF treatment and expression is high in several E-cadherin negative human carcinoma cell lines. SMN is expressed in a wide variety of tissues including brain, kidney, liver and spinal cord, and moderately in skeletal and cardiac muscle. The gene encoding Gemin2 maps to human chromosome 14q13.
