Abstract

Coding region and intronic mutations in the tau gene cause frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17. Intronic mutations and some missense mutations increase splicing in of exon 10, leading to an increased ratio of four-repeat to three-repeat tau isoforms. Secondary structure predictions have led to the proposal that intronic mutations and one missense mutation destabilize a putative RNA stem-loop structure located close to the splice-donor site of the intron after exon 10. We have determined the three-dimensional structure of this tau exon 10 splicing regulatory element RNA by NMR spectroscopy. We show that it forms a stable, folded stem-loop structure whose thermodynamic stability is reduced by frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 mutations and increased by compensatory mutations. By exon trapping, the reduction in thermodynamic stability is correlated with increased splicing in of exon 10.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
