Splicing of designer exons informs a biophysical model for exon definition [PDF]

RNA, 2014
Pre-mRNA molecules in humans contain mostly short internal exons flanked by longer introns. To explain the removal of such introns, exon recognition instead of intron recognition has been proposed. We studied this exon definition using designer exons (DEs) made up of three prototype modules of our own design: an exonic splicing enhancer (ESE), an ...

RKIP overexpression reduces lung adenocarcinoma aggressiveness and sensitizes cells to EGFR‐targeted therapies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RKIP, a metastasis suppressor protein, modulates key oncogenic pathways in lung adenocarcinoma. In silico analyses linked low RKIP expression to poor survival. Functional studies revealed RKIP overexpression reduces tumor aggressiveness and enhances sensitivity to EGFR‐targeted therapies, while its loss promotes resistance.

Exon cloning: immunoenzymatic identification of exons of the chicken lysozyme gene. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1982
A 10-kilobase DNA fragment containing exons 1 and 2 of the chicken lysozyme gene has been randomly cleaved with DNase I. After tailing and cloning into the plasmid pUK230, Lac+ colonies were selected. Colonies harboring expressed fragments of the exons could be detected by an immunoenzymatic assay using antibodies against lysozyme.

Characterizing the salivary RNA landscape to identify potential diagnostic, prognostic, and follow‐up biomarkers for breast cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study explores salivary RNA for breast cancer (BC) diagnosis, prognosis, and follow‐up. High‐throughput RNA sequencing identified distinct salivary RNA signatures, including novel transcripts, that differentiate BC from healthy controls, characterize histological and molecular subtypes, and indicate lymph node involvement.

Methylation profile of bovine Oct4 gene coding region in relation to three germ layers

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
Previous studies have shown that octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4) plays a significant role in early embryonic development of mammalian animals, and different Oct4 expression levels induce multi-lineage differentiation which are regulated by ...

Prime editing strategies to mediate exon skipping in DMD gene

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a rare and lethal hereditary disease responsible for progressive muscle wasting due to mutations in the DMD gene. We used the CRISPR-Cas9 Prime editing technology to develop different strategies to correct frameshift ...

Dwarfism with joint laxity in Friesian horses is associated with a splice site mutation in B4GALT7 [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Inbreeding and population bottlenecks in the ancestry of Friesian horses has led to health issues such as dwarfism. The limbs of dwarfs are short and the ribs are protruding inwards at the costochondral junction, while the head and back ...

ExInt: an Exon/Intron database [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2000
The Exon/Intron (ExInt) database incorporates information on the exon/intron structure of eukaryotic genes. Features in the database include: intron nucleotide sequence, amino acid sequence of the corresponding protein, position of the introns at the amino acid level and intron phase.
