Sellier et al. (2017) show that translation of expanded CGG repeats in fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome is initiated at an upstream ACG near-cognate start codon. The resulting polyglycine-containing protein, but not repeat RNA, is pathogenic by disrupting the nuclear lamina.
塞利尔等人(2017 年)表明,脆性 X 相关震颤/共济失调综合征中扩展的 CGG 重复的翻译是从上游的 ACG 近同源起始密码子开始的。由此产生的多聚甘氨酸蛋白,而不是重复 RNA,通过破坏核纤层而具有致病性。
