Summary: In the eukaryotic cell, spliceosomes assemble onto pre-mRNA cotranscriptionally. Spliceosome assembly takes place in the context of the chromatin environment, suggesting that the state of the chromatin may affect splicing.

Characterization of factors involved in the coupling of 3' end processing and splicing and in the 3' end formation of mRNA precursors [PDF]
Eukaryotic mRNA precursors are processed at their 5’ and 3’ ends and are spliced prior to their export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Although all three processing reactions can be studied separately in vitro, they are coupled in vivo.

Pre-mRNA splicing is an essential component of eukaryotic gene expression and is highly conserved from unicellular yeasts to humans. Here, we present the development and implementation of a sequencing-based reverse genetic screen designed to identify ...

Changes in intranuclear mobility of mature snRNPs provide a mechanism for splicing defects in spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]
This work was funded by the Wellcome Trust (grant ID WT078810MA)It is becoming increasingly clear that defects in RNA metabolism can lead to disease. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a leading genetic cause of infant mortality, results from insufficient ...

Linking splicing to Pol II transcription stabilizes pre-mRNAs and influences splicing patterns.
RNA processing is carried out in close proximity to the site of transcription, suggesting a regulatory link between transcription and pre-mRNA splicing. Using an in vitro transcription/splicing assay, we demonstrate that an association of RNA polymerase ...

Ser/Arg-rich (SR) genes encode proteins that play pivotal roles in both constitutive and alternative splicing of pre-mRNA. However, not much effort has been made to investigate the alternative splicing of their own pre-mRNA.

To determine molecular changes that correlate with long-term physiological changes after spinal cord injury associated with spasticity, we used a complete transection model with an injury at sacral spinal level S2, wherein tail spasms develop in rats ...

A trio of unique alternative splicing patterns : the splicing of tandem NAGNAG acceptors, transcription-start-site-dependent and mutually dependent cassette exons [PDF]
With the rapid increase in the volume of genomic and transcript data in mouse and human, a diverse set of alternative splicing patterns can be discovered.

Interaction of hnRNPA1/A2 and DAZAP1 with an Alu-derived intronic splicing enhancer regulates ATM aberrant splicing. [PDF]
We have previously identified an Alu-derived Intronic Splicing enhancer (ISE) in the Ataxia Teleangectasia Mutated gene (ATM) that facilitates intron pre-mRNA processing and leads to the inclusion of a cryptic exon in the final mRNA transcript.

Tetracycline aptamer-controlled regulation of pre-mRNA splicing in yeast
Splicing of pre-mRNA is a critical step in mRNA maturation and disturbances cause several genetic disorders. We apply the synthetic tetracycline (tc)-binding riboswitch to establish a gene expression system for conditional tc-dependent control of pre ...
