Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein forms nuclear condensates and regulates alternative splicing
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is caused by mutations in WASP, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be explored. Here the authors reveal that WASP deficiency results in aberrant RNA splicing, and that WASP regulates the transcription of splicing factor ...

Exploring RNA modifications, editing, and splicing changes in hyperuricemia and gout
Hyperuricemia and gout are two of the most common metabolic disorders worldwide; their incidence is increasing with changes in lifestyle, and they are correlated with many diseases, including renal and cardiovascular diseases.

RNA helicases in splicing [PDF]
In eukaryotic cells, introns are spliced from pre-mRNAs by the spliceosome. Both the composition and the structure of the spliceosome are highly dynamic, and eight DExD/H RNA helicases play essential roles in controlling conformational rearrangements. There is evidence that the various helicases are functionally and physically connected with each other

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is often modeled in Fmr1 knockout mice where the RNA-binding protein FMRP is absent. Here, we show that in Fmr1-deficient mice, RNA mis-splicing occurs in several brain regions and peripheral

Genome-wide regulation of KSHV RNA splicing by viral RNA-binding protein ORF57.
RNA splicing plays an essential role in the expression of eukaryotic genes. We previously showed that KSHV ORF57 is a viral splicing factor promoting viral lytic gene expression.

A mechanism for RNA splicing. [PDF]
The most abundant of the stable small nuclear RNAs of eukaryotic cells, U-1 small nuclear RNA, is exactly complementary to the consensus sequences at RNA splice sites. We propose that this RNA is the recognition component of the nuclear RNA splicing enzyme and forms base pairs with both ends of an intron so as to align them for cutting and splicing.

Cis- and trans-regulations of pre-mRNA splicing by RNA editing enzymes influence cancer development
RNA editing and RNA splicing are involved in tumorigenesis. Here the authors report crosstalk between RNA editing and splicing by identifying ADAR1/2-dependent splicing events in esophageal squamous carcinoma cells.

Somatic Mutational Landscape of Splicing Factor Genes and Their Functional Consequences across 33 Cancer Types [PDF]
Hotspot mutations in splicing factor genes have been recently reported at high frequency in hematological malignancies, suggesting the importance of RNA splicing in cancer.
