Aberrant RNA Splicing in Cancer [PDF]
Annual Review of Cancer Biology, 2019 RNA splicing, the enzymatic process of removing segments of premature RNA to produce mature RNA, is a key mediator of proteome diversity and regulator of gene expression. Increased systematic sequencing of the genome and transcriptome of cancers has identified a variety of means by which RNA splicing is altered in cancer relative to normal cells ...

Quantification of pre-mRNA escape rate and synergy in splicing [PDF]
, 2014 Splicing reactions generally combine high speed with accuracy. However, some of the pre-mRNAs escape the nucleus with a retained intron. Intron retention can control gene expression and increase proteome diversity.

A mutation in a splicing factor that causes retinitis pigmentosa has a transcriptome-wide effect on mRNA splicing [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Substantial progress has been made in the identification of sequence elements that control mRNA splicing and the genetic variants in these elements that alter mRNA splicing (referred to as splicing quantitative trait loci – sQTLs).

Linking splicing to Pol II transcription stabilizes pre-mRNAs and influences splicing patterns.
PLoS Biology, 2006 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 yeast eIF4G with spliceosome components Implications in pre-mRNA processing events [PDF]
, 2009 As evidenced from mammalian cells the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4G has a putative role in nuclear RNA metabolism. Here we investigate whether this role is conserved in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

A method of predicting changes in human gene splicing induced by genetic variants in context of cis-acting elements [PDF]
, 2010 Background: polymorphic variants and mutations disrupting canonical splicing isoforms are among the leading causes of human hereditary disorders. While there is a substantial evidence of aberrant splicing causing Mendelian diseases, the implication of ...

iCLIP predicts the dual splicing effects of TIA-RNA interactions [PDF]
, 2010 The regulation of alternative splicing involves interactions between RNA-binding proteins and pre-mRNA positions close to the splice sites. T-cell intracellular antigen 1 (TIA1) and TIA1-like 1 (TIAL1) locally enhance exon inclusion by recruiting U1 ...

An overview of RNA splicing and functioning of splicing factors in land plant chloroplasts
RNA Biology, 2022 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 ...

Developments in RNA Splicing and Disease [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2010 Pre-mRNA processing, including 5'-end capping, splicing, editing, and polyadenylation, consists of a series of orchestrated and primarily cotranscriptional steps that ensure both the high fidelity and extreme diversity characteristic of eukaryotic gene expression.

Trim25 is an RNA-specific activator of Lin28a/TuT4-mediated uridylation [PDF]
, 2014 RNA binding proteins have thousands of cellular RNA targets and often exhibit opposite or passive molecular functions. Lin28a is a conserved RNA binding protein involved in pluripotency and tumorigenesis that was previously shown to trigger TuT4-mediated
