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.

Efficient Detection of the Alternative Spliced Human Proteome Using Translatome Sequencing
Alternative splicing (AS) isoforms create numerous proteoforms, expanding the complexity of the genome. Highly similar sequences, incomplete reference databases and the insufficient sequence coverage of mass spectrometry limit the identification of AS ...

Isoform Divergence of the Filamin Family of Proteins [PDF]
The vertebrate filamin family (A, B, and C) is part of the spectrin family of actin cross-linking proteins. Family members share high sequence similarity (>64%) and have both common and isoform-distinct functionalities. To identify the basis for isoform-specific functionality, we perform an evolutionary trace of chordate filamin at the granularity of ...

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.

PML isoforms in response to arsenic: high-resolution analysis of PML body structure and degradation [PDF]
Arsenic is a clinically effective treatment for acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) in which the promyelocytic leukaemia (PML) protein is fused to retinoic receptor alpha (RARα).

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 ...

Expression and modulation of CD44 variant isoforms in humans [PDF]
CD44 is a ubiquitous surface molecule that exists as a number of isoforms, generated by alternative splicing of 10 "variant" exons. Little is known about the expression and function of the variant isoforms, except that certain isoforms may play a role in

Structure-guided isoform identification for the human transcriptome
Recently developed methods to predict three-dimensional protein structure with high accuracy have opened new avenues for genome and proteome research. We explore a new hypothesis in genome annotation, namely whether computationally predicted structures ...
