The spliceosome, a potential Achilles heel of MYC-driven tumors [PDF]
Alterations in RNA splicing are frequent in human tumors. Two recent studies of lymphoma and breast cancer have identified components of the spliceosome - the core splicing machinery - that are essential for malignant transformation driven by the ...

Reovirus μ2 protein modulates host cell alternative splicing by reducing protein levels of U5 snRNP core components [PDF]
: Mammalian orthoreovirus (MRV) is a doublestranded RNA virus from the Reoviridae family presenting a promising activity as an oncolytic virus. Recent studies have underlined MRV’s ability to alter cellular alternative splicing (AS) during infection ...

Jerantinine A induces tumor-specific cell death through modulation of splicing factor 3b subunit 1 (SF3B1) [PDF]
Precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) splicing is catalyzed by a large ribonucleoprotein complex known as the spliceosome. Numerous studies have indicated that aberrant splicing patterns or mutations in spliceosome components, including the splicing factor 3b ...

Proteomic Analysis Reveals CACN-1 Is a Component of the Spliceosome in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Cell migration is essential for embryonic development and tissue formation in all animals. cacn-1 is a conserved gene of unknown molecular function identified in a genome-wide screen for genes that regulate distal tip cell migration in the nematode worm ...

Spliceosomal protein eftud2 mutation leads to p53-dependent apoptosis in zebrafish neural progenitors [PDF]
Haploinsufficiency of EFTUD2 (Elongation Factor Tu GTP Binding Domain Containing 2) is linked to human mandibulofacial dysostosis, Guion-Almeida type (MFDGA), but the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain to be addressed. We report here the isolation, cloning and functional analysis of the mutated eftud2 (snu114) in a novel neuronal ...

arrEYE : a customized platform for high-resolution copy number analysis of coding and noncoding regions of known and candidate retinal dystrophy genes and retinal noncoding RNAs [PDF]
Purpose: Our goal was to design a customized microarray, arrEYE, for high-resolution copy number variant (CNV) analysis of known and candidate genes for inherited retinal dystrophy (iRD) and retina expressed noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs).

RNA-Seq analysis of splicing in Plasmodium falciparum uncovers new splice junctions, alternative splicing and splicing of antisense transcripts. [PDF]
Over 50% of genes in Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest human malaria parasite, contain predicted introns, yet experimental characterization of splicing in this organism remains incomplete.

Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) is a rare genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Major characteristics include developmental delay, craniofacial malformations such as malar and mandibular hypoplasia, and ear anomalies. Here, we report a 4.5-yr-old female patient with symptoms fitting MFDM.

EFTUD2 missense variants disrupt protein function and splicing in mandibulofacial dysostosis Guion‐Almeida type [PDF]
Pathogenic variants in the core spliceosome U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein gene EFTUD2/SNU114 cause the craniofacial disorder mandibulofacial dysostosis Guion-Almeida type (MFDGA). MFDGA-associated variants in EFTUD2 comprise large deletions encompassing EFTUD2, intragenic deletions and single nucleotide truncating or missense variants.

Expanding the etiology of oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum: a novel interstitial microdeletion at 1p36 [PDF]
The etiology of oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) is not well established. About half of patients show a positive family history. The etiology of familiar cases is unclear but appears genetically heterogeneous.
