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

The role of alternative pre-mRNA splicing in cancer progression
Cancer Cell International, 2023 Alternative pre-mRNA splicing is a critical mechanism that generates multiple mRNA from a single gene, thereby increasing the diversity of the proteome. Recent research has highlighted the significance of specific splicing isoforms in cellular processes,

Evolution of NCoR-1 and NCoR-2 corepressor alternative mRNA splicing in placental mammals. [PDF]
, 2019 ObjectiveThe NCoR-1 and NCoR-2 corepressors are products of an early gene duplication near the beginning of vertebrate evolution and play both overlapping and divergent roles in development and physiology.

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

An exonic splicing enhancer in human IGF-I pre-mRNA mediates recognition of alternative exon 5 by the serine-arginine protein splicing factor-2/alternative splicing factor [PDF]
, 2002 The human IGF-I gene has six exons, four of which are alternatively spliced. Variations in splicing involving exon 5 may occur, depending on the tissue type and hormonal environment.

Interrogation of alternative splicing events in duplicated genes during evolution
BMC Genomics, 2011 Background Gene duplication provides resources for developing novel genes and new functions while retaining the original functions. In addition, alternative splicing could increase the complexity of expression at the transcriptome and proteome level ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...
