Function of alternative splicing [PDF]
Gene, 2013 Almost all polymerase II transcripts undergo alternative pre-mRNA splicing. Here, we review the functions of alternative splicing events that have been experimentally determined. The overall function of alternative splicing is to increase the diversity of mRNAs expressed from the genome. Alternative splicing changes proteins encoded by mRNAs, which has

Alternative splicing is required for stage differentiation in malaria parasites
Genome Biology, 2019 Background In multicellular organisms, alternative splicing is central to tissue differentiation and identity. Unicellular protists lack multicellular tissue but differentiate into variable cell types during their life cycles.

The implications of alternative pre-mRNA splicing in cell signal transduction
Experimental and Molecular Medicine, 2023 Cells produce multiple mRNAs through alternative splicing, which ensures proteome diversity. Because most human genes undergo alternative splicing, key components of signal transduction pathways are no exception.

rMAPS: RNA map analysis and plotting server for alternative exon regulation. [PDF]
, 2016 RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play a critical role in the regulation of alternative splicing (AS), a prevalent mechanism for generating transcriptomic and proteomic diversity in eukaryotic cells.

Evolution of Alternative Splicing in Eudicots [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Alternative pre-mRNA splicing (AS) is prevalent in plants and is involved in many interactions between plants and environmental stresses. However, the patterns and underlying mechanisms of AS evolution in plants remain unclear. By analyzing the transcriptomes of four eudicot species, we revealed that the divergence of AS is largely due to the gains and

Alternative promoters influence alternative splicing at the genomic level. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: More and more experiments have shown that transcription and mRNA processing are not two independent events but are tightly coupled to each other. Both promoter and transcription rate were found to influence alternative splicing.

The Perils of Navigating Activity-Dependent Alternative Splicing of Neurexins
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021 Neurexins are presynaptic cell-adhesion molecules essential for synaptic function that are expressed in thousands of alternatively spliced isoforms. Recent studies suggested that alternative splicing at splice site 4 (SS4) of Nrxn1 is tightly regulated ...

A Novel Prognostic Index Based on Alternative Splicing in Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 BackgroundPapillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) is a heterogeneous multifocal or isolated tumor with an invasive phenotype. Previous studies presented that alternative splicing, as a crucial posttranscriptional regulator in gene expression, is associated

MicroRNA-222 regulates muscle alternative splicing through Rbm24 during differentiation of skeletal muscle cells [PDF]
, 2016 A number of microRNAs have been shown to regulate skeletal muscle development and differentiation. MicroRNA-222 is downregulated during myogenic differentiation and its overexpression leads to alteration of muscle differentiation process and specialized ...
