Background
pre-mRNAs splicing /removal of non-coding regions is a critical process which contributes to a diverse proteome as well as gene expression regulation, and there are several splicing factors that are exclusively involved in a subset of splicing decisions - human muscleblind-like family of RNA-binding proteins: MBNL1/2/3 also known as MBNL/EXP, MBLL/MPL1, and MBXL/CHCR, respectively. Muscleblind-like 1 (MBNL1) is a known mediator of pre-mRNA alternative splicing regulation and it acts either as activator or repressor of splicing on specific pre-mRNA targets. Several pathologies are linked to expansion of polynucleotide sequences (mostly trinucleotide repeats) and CUG/CCUG expansion RNAs accumulates in Myotonic Dystrophy patient cells wherein it contributes to the disease by dysregulating alternative splicing factors such as CUGBP, Elav-like Family Member 1 (CELF1) and MBNL1. The expanded CUG repeats sequester MBNL proteins into nuclear foci, leading to loss of active protein and the sequestration of MBNL1 leads to missplicing of developmentally regulated events that are responsible for symptoms in DM types 1 and 2, such as the missplicing of the chloride channel (CLCN1) leading to myotonia. CELF1 and MBNL1 regulate a number of common splicing events, but in opposite directions and loss of MBNL1 activity is more critical than upregulation of CELF1 activity for abnormal splicing.
