nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs). They concentrate coilin, snRNPs and the survival
motor neuron protein (SMN). Dysfunction of CB assembly occurs in spinal muscular atrophy
(SMA). Here, we demonstrate that SMN is a SUMO1 target that has a small ubiquitin-related
modifier (SUMO)-interacting motif (SIM)-like motif in the Tudor domain. The expression of
SIM-like mutant constructs abolishes the interaction of SMN with the spliceosomal SmD1 …
