Deletion analysis indicates a difference in RNA-binding abilities among splice variants of MBNL1, and it was found thatMBNL1 can bind to repetitive motifs in ZNF9, which contain a minimal length of CCUG repeats with non-CCUG insertions.

Robust detection of human repeat expansions from careful alignments of long but error-prone reads to a reference genome is reported, which may help to elucidate the many genetic diseases whose causes remain unknown.

Results indicate that hydrophobicity itself may trigger the oligomerization and aggregation of proteins when overexpressed in cells and provide novel insights into the nature of the HPAAs that are often seen in human and other organisms.

A mechanistic model for the regulation of Clcn1 splicing is provided, novel regulatory properties of MBNL and CELF proteins are revealed, and the role of an exonic splicing enhancer essential for the inclusion of exon 7A is identified.

The results suggest that nuclear retention of expanded RNA reflects a novel role of MBNL proteins in repressing aberrant protein expression and may provide pathological and therapeutic implications for a wide range of repeat expansion diseases associated with nuclear RNA retention and/or RAN translation.

The results suggest that long tracts of polyalanine acquire SDS‐sensitive self‐association properties, which may be a prerequisite event for their abnormal folding, as well as suggesting that hydrophobicity plays an important role in aggregation.

It is concluded that the N-terminus of DMPK plays an important role in D MPK kinase activity, and that the C-termini determines the intracellular localization of the protein.
