RNA splicing factors as oncoproteins and tumour suppressors [PDF]

Nature Reviews Cancer, 2016
The recent genomic characterization of cancers has revealed recurrent somatic point mutations and copy number changes affecting genes encoding RNA splicing factors. Initial studies of these 'spliceosomal mutations' suggest that the proteins bearing these mutations exhibit altered splice site and/or exon recognition preferences relative to their wild ...

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 ...

RNA splicing in health and disease [PDF]

Molecular Biomedicine
RNA splicing expands the functional output of eukaryotic genomes by enabling individual precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) to generate multiple mature transcripts with protein‑coding and regulatory properties.

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 ...

Incorporating evolutionary information and functional domains for identifying RNA splicing factors in humans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Regulation of pre-mRNA splicing is achieved through the interaction of RNA sequence elements and a variety of RNA-splicing related proteins (splicing factors).

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 ...

RNA splicing alterations in lung cancer pathogenesis and therapy

Cancer Pathogenesis and Therapy, 2023
RNA splicing alterations are widespread and play critical roles in cancer pathogenesis and therapy. Lung cancer is highly heterogeneous and causes the most cancer-related deaths worldwide.

Investigation of androgen receptor-dependent alternative splicing has identified a unique subtype of lethal prostate cancer

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2023
A complete proteomics study characterizing active androgen receptor (AR) complexes in prostate cancer (PCa) cells identified a diversity of protein interactors with tumorigenic annotations, including known RNA splicing factors.

The Interplay Between the DNA Damage Response, RNA Processing and Extracellular Vesicles

Frontiers in Oncology, 2020
RNA processing was recently found to affect DNA damage response. The RNA processing factors THRAP3 and BCLAF1 play critical role in keeping DNA genomic stability by regulating the transcription, mRNA splicing and export of DNA repair proteins BRCA2 ...

Splicing Factors Have an Essential Role in Prostate Cancer Progression and Androgen Receptor Signaling

Biomolecules, 2019
Although inhibition of the androgen–androgen receptor (AR) axis effectively represses the growth of prostate cancer, most of all cases eventually become castration-resistant prostate cancers (CRPCs).
