Cyclic stretch induces VEGFA alternative splicing via Serine/Arginine-Rich Splicing Factor 1
Abnormal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) induced by high cyclic stretch is crucial in the vascular remodeling during hypertension. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) alternative splicing plays important roles in the pathological process of vascular diseases and remodeling.

Elevated expression of the serine-arginine protein kinase 1 gene in ovarian cancer and its role in Cisplatin cytotoxicity in vitro. [PDF]
Alternatively spliced variants of several oncogenes and tumor suppressors have been shown to be important for their tumorigenicity. In the present study we have tested whether serine-arginine protein kinase 1 (SRPK1), a major regulator of splicing ...

The emerging roles and therapeutic potential of cyclin-dependent kinase 11 (CDK11) in human cancer. [PDF]
Overexpression and/or hyperactivation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are common features of most cancer types. CDKs have been shown to play important roles in tumor cell proliferation and growth by controlling cell cycle, transcription, and RNA ...

Drug hypersensitivity caused by alteration of the MHC-presented self-peptide repertoire [PDF]
Idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions are unpredictable, dose independent and potentially life threatening; this makes them a major factor contributing to the cost and uncertainty of drug development. Clinical data suggest that many such reactions involve

Molecular Mechanism of SR Protein Kinase 1 Inhibition by the Herpes Virus Protein ICP27
Serine-arginine (SR) protein kinase 1 (SRPK1) catalyzes the phosphorylation of SR proteins, which are a conserved family of splicing factors that contain a domain rich in arginine and serine repeats.

SRSF1-dependent nuclear export of C9ORF72 repeat-transcripts: targeting toxic gain-of-functions induced by protein sequestration as a selective therapeutic strategy for neuroprotection [PDF]
Microsatellite repeat expansions cause several incurable and lethal neurodegenerative disorders including ataxias, myotonic dystrophy, Huntington's disease and C9ORF72-linked amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD ...
