An overview of RNA splicing and functioning of splicing factors in land plant chloroplasts
RNA splicing refers to a process by which introns of a pre-mRNA are excised and the exons at both ends are joined together. Chloroplast introns are inherently self-splicing ribozymes, but over time, they have lost self-splicing ability due to the ...

Cellular stress and RNA splicing [PDF]
In response to physical and chemical stresses that affect protein folding and, thus, the execution of normal metabolic processes, cells activate gene-expression strategies aimed at increasing their chance of survival. One target of several stressing agents is pre-mRNA splicing, which is inhibited upon heat shock.

Spliced leader RNA trans-splicing in dinoflagellates [PDF]
Through the analysis of hundreds of full-length cDNAs from fifteen species representing all major orders of dinoflagellates, we demonstrate that nuclear-encoded mRNAs in all species, from ancestral to derived lineages, are trans-spliced with the addition of the 22-nt conserved spliced leader (SL), DCCGUAGCCAUUUUGGCUCAAG (D = U, A, or G), to the 5′ end.

ISVASE: identification of sequence variant associated with splicing event using RNA-seq data
Background Exon recognition and splicing precisely and efficiently by spliceosome is the key to generate mature mRNAs. About one third or a half of disease-related mutations affect RNA splicing.

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 ...

Germline variants in tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) can result in RNA mis-splicing and predisposition to cancer. However, identification of variants that impact splicing remains a challenge, contributing to a substantial proportion of patients with ...

Akt-ivation of RNA Splicing [PDF]
Cells must tightly control alternative splicing of RNA to maintain homeostasis; in this issue of Molecular Cell, Sanidas et al. (2014) provide new insights into the regulation of RNA splicing by Akt isoforms through phosphorylation of histone modification machinery.

Incorporating evolutionary information and functional domains for identifying RNA splicing factors in humans. [PDF]
Regulation of pre-mRNA splicing is achieved through the interaction of RNA sequence elements and a variety of RNA-splicing related proteins (splicing factors).

Alternative Splicing in Myeloid Malignancies
Alternative RNA splicing (AS) is an essential physiologic function that diversifies the human proteome. AS also has a crucial role during cellular development.
