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 ...

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.

Regulation of age-dependent expression patterns of five transcription factors in Larix kaempferi
To reveal the regulatory mechanisms underlying age-dependent expression patterns, we characterized seven age-related genes, LaDAL1, LaAGL2-2, LaAGL2-3, LaAGL11, LaSOC1-1, LaAP2-1, and LaAP2-2 in terms of transcription and intron splicing in Larix ...

Pre-mRNA Splicing in the Nuclear Landscape [PDF]
Eukaryotic gene expression requires the cumulative activity of multiple molecular machines to synthesize and process newly transcribed pre-messenger RNA. Introns, the noncoding regions in pre-mRNA, must be removed by the spliceosome, which assembles on the pre-mRNA as it is transcribed by RNA polymerase II (Pol II).

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.

A splicing-dependent transcriptional checkpoint associated with prespliceosome formation [PDF]
There is good evidence for functional interactions between splicing and transcription in eukaryotes, but how and why these processes are coupled remain unknown.

Electron tomography reveals posttranscriptional binding of pre-mRNPs to specific fibers in the nucleoplasm [PDF]
International audienceUsing electron tomography, we have analyzed whether the Balbiani ring (BR) pre-mRNP particles in transit from the gene to the nuclear pore complex (NPC) are bound to any structure that could impair free diffusion through the ...

Pre-mRNA splicing is critical for achieving required amounts of a transcript at a given time and for regulating production of encoded protein. A given pre-mRNA may be spliced in many ways, or not at all, giving rise to multiple gene products.
