Molecular impact of mutations in RNA splicing factors in cancer. [PDF]
Mol CellSomatic mutations in genes encoding components of the RNA splicing machinery occur frequently in multiple forms of cancer. The most frequently mutated RNA splicing factors in cancer impact intronic branch site and 3' splice site recognition. These include mutations in the core RNA splicing factor SF3B1 as well as mutations in the U2AF1/2 heterodimeric ...

MYC-mediated transcriptional control of splicing factors promotes RNA splicing in activated B lymphocytes [PDF]
Scientific ReportsGerminal center B cells play a pivotal role in the generation of long-lived plasma cells and high-affinity antibodies. Although RNA splicing and alternative splicing are known to regulate germinal center B cell responses, the upstream mechanisms ...

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 ...

Cancer-associated snaR-A noncoding RNA interacts with core splicing machinery and disrupts processing of mRNA subpopulations [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsExpansion of RNA polymerase III (Pol III) activity in cancer can activate the transcription of typically silent small RNA genes, including snaR-A (small NF90-associated RNA isoform A), a hominid-specific noncoding RNA that promotes cell proliferation ...

Regulation of RNA Splicing: Aberrant Splicing Regulation and Therapeutic Targets in Cancer
Cells, 2021 RNA splicing is a critical step in the maturation of precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) by removing introns and exons. The combination of inclusion and exclusion of introns and exons in pre-mRNA can generate vast diversity in mature mRNA from a limited number of ...

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein forms nuclear condensates and regulates alternative splicing
Nature Communications, 2022 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 ...
