The Isoforms of the p53 Protein [PDF]
p53 is a transcription factor with a key role in the maintenance of genetic stability and therefore preventing cancer formation. It belongs to a family of genes composed of p53, p63, and p73. The p63 and p73 genes have a dual gene structure with an internal promoter in intron-3 and together with alternative splicing, can express 6 and 29 mRNA variants,

Isoforms of the class II transactivator protein [PDF]
The class II transactivator (CIITA) controls both the constitutive and IFN-gamma inducible expression of HLA-D genes. In addition, through the squelching of another transactivator CREB-binding protein, CIITA was more recently shown to have a wider cellular function, including cell cycle control or cellular response to IFN-gamma and IL-4.

Enhanced protein isoform characterization through long-read proteogenomics
Background The detection of physiologically relevant protein isoforms encoded by the human genome is critical to biomedicine. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is the preeminent method for protein detection, but isoform-resolved proteomic analysis ...

Identification and functional comparison of novel alternatively spliced isoforms of human YAP
As a key effector of the Hippo pathway, yes‐associated protein (YAP) is a major regulator of cell proliferation and apoptosis. In this study, 23 hYAP isoforms were identified in HEK293 cells, with 14 isoforms being reported for the first time.
