SNRNP70 is a core spliceosomal protein that localises to both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Previous studies have implicated SNRNP70 in regulating axonal stability and the transport of specific mRNAs during motor neuron development in zebrafish. Although the molecular functions and protein interactions of SNRNP70 in pre-mRNA splicing are well established, the mechanisms underlying its cytoplasmic functions remain poorly understood. Here, we show that SNRNP70 and TDP-43 exhibit similar localisation patterns in developing and mature neurons and co-associate in both nuclear and non-nuclear compartments, including axonal projections. We identify a functional interaction between SNRNP70 and TDP-43 that is essential for motor neuron development and demonstrate that the recruitment of SNRNP70 to cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules depends on TDP-43. These findings identify a previously unrecognised cytoplasmic function of TDP-43 in directing SNRNP70-containing RNP granule assembly, thereby linking TDP-43 to the splicing-independent functions of SNRNP70 during motor neuron development.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
