SF2/ASF binds to a splicing enhancer in the third HIV-1 tat exon and stimulates U2AF binding independently of the RS domain

The deep intronic c.903+469T>C mutation

The deep intronic c.903+469T>C mutation in the MTRR gene creates an SF2/ASF binding exonic splicing enhancer, which leads to pseudoexon activation and causes the cblE type of homocystinuria

Deep intronic mutations are often ignored as possible causes of human diseases. A deep intronic mutation in the MTRR gene, c.9031469T4C, is the most frequent mutation causing the cblE type of homocystinuria. It is well known to be associated with pre-mRNA missplicing, resulting in pseudoexon inclusi
