Activity-regulated RNA editing in select neuronal subfields in hippocampus [PDF]
RNA editing by adensosine deaminases is a widespread mechanism to alter genetic information in metazoa. In addition to modifications in non-coding regions, editing contributes to diversification of protein function, in analogy to alternative splicing ...

IWS1 regulates multiple steps in RNA metabolism, including RNA elongation and alternative RNA splicing. Here the authors show that AKT3 phosphorylates IWS1, which alters U2AF2 RNA splicing and promotes growth of lung adenocarcinomas via a Sororin/ERK ...

MicroRNA-222 regulates muscle alternative splicing through Rbm24 during differentiation of skeletal muscle cells [PDF]
A number of microRNAs have been shown to regulate skeletal muscle development and differentiation. MicroRNA-222 is downregulated during myogenic differentiation and its overexpression leads to alteration of muscle differentiation process and specialized ...

Human Tra2 proteins jointly control a CHEK1 splicing switch among alternative and constitutive target exons [PDF]
Alternative splicing—the production of multiple messenger RNA isoforms from a single gene—is regulated in part by RNA binding proteins. While the RBPs transformer2 alpha (Tra2α) and Tra2β have both been implicated in the regulation of alternative ...

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.

Latent rank change detection for analysis of splice-junction microarrays with nonlinear effects [PDF]
Alternative splicing of gene transcripts greatly expands the functional capacity of the genome, and certain splice isoforms may indicate specific disease states such as cancer. Splice junction microarrays interrogate thousands of splice junctions, but data analysis is difficult and error prone because of the increased complexity compared to ...
