MET variants in the N‐lobe of the kinase domain, found in hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma, require ligand stimulation to promote cell transformation, in contrast to other RTK variants. This suggests that HGF expression in the microenvironment is important for tumor growth in such patients. Their sensitivity to MET inhibitors opens the way for

A unified mechanism for intron and exon definition and back-splicing. [PDF]
The molecular mechanisms of exon definition and back-splicing are fundamental unanswered questions in pre-mRNA splicing. Here we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of the yeast spliceosomal E complex assembled on introns, providing a view of the ...

Expression of the plasma prekallikrein gene: utilization of multiple transcription start sites and alternative promoter regions [PDF]
The plasma prekallikrein gene is expressed in many different human tissues at distinctly different levels and therefore tissue-specific control of the gene transcription is likely.

Prime editing strategies to mediate exon skipping in DMD gene
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 ...

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

In molecular cancer diagnostics, comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) is going to replace the small NGS panels since it provides all clinically relevant somatic variants as well as genomic biomarkers with clinical value. Here, we compared two CGP assays and demonstrate that the choice for diagnostic implementation will depend on the specific ...

Investigating synthetic oligonucleotide targeting of miR31 in Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]
Exon-skipping via synthetic antisense oligonucleotides represents one of the most promising potential therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), yet this approach is highly sequence-specific and thus each oligonucleotide is of benefit to only a ...

Introduction: Patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung that have a common EGFR mutation, the Exon 19 Del mutation, survive better than those with the Exon 21 L858R mutation.

ExInt: an Exon/Intron database [PDF]
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.
