A novel study in a recent issue of Molecular Cell (Shi and Manley, 2007) provides insight into a complex signaling pathway that controls the phosphorylation status of an SR-related protein that functions as a splicing repressor following heat shock-dependent dephosphorylation.

Dysregulation and Therapeutic Targeting of RNA Splicing Variants in Cancer [PDF]
mRNA splicing constitutes a crucial biological phenomenon characterized by the excision of introns from pre-mRNA, followed by the synthesis of mature mRNA through the concatenation of the remaining exons.

Benchmarking deep learning splice prediction tools using functional splice assays
Hereditary disorders are frequently caused by genetic variants that affect pre‐messenger RNA splicing. Though genetic variants in the canonical splice motifs are almost always disrupting splicing, the pathogenicity of variants in the noncanonical splice ...

Animal, Fungi, and Plant Genome Sequences Harbor Different Non-Canonical Splice Sites
Most protein-encoding genes in eukaryotes contain introns, which are interwoven with exons. Introns need to be removed from initial transcripts in order to generate the final messenger RNA (mRNA), which can be translated into an amino acid sequence ...

Molecular cloning, expression, and functional features of IGF1 splice variants in sheep
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), also known as somatomedin C, is essential for the regulation of animal growth and development. In many species, the IGF1 gene can be alternatively spliced into multiple transcripts, encoding different pre-pro-IGF1 ...

Genome-wide analyses supported by RNA-Seq reveal non-canonical splice sites in plant genomes
Background Most eukaryotic genes comprise exons and introns thus requiring the precise removal of introns from pre-mRNAs to enable protein biosynthesis. U2 and U12 spliceosomes catalyze this step by recognizing motifs on the transcript in order to remove

GC content around splice sites affects splicing through pre-mRNA secondary structures
Background Alternative splicing increases protein diversity by generating multiple transcript isoforms from a single gene through different combinations of exons or through different selections of splice sites.

The purpose of the dbNSFP is to provide a one‐stop resource for functional predictions and annotations for human nonsynonymous single‐nucleotide variants (nsSNVs) and splice‐site variants (ssSNVs), and to facilitate the steps of filtering and ...

Spliced leader RNA trans-splicing in dinoflagellates [PDF]
Through the analysis of hundreds of full-length cDNAs from fifteen species representing all major orders of dinoflagellates, we demonstrate that nuclear-encoded mRNAs in all species, from ancestral to derived lineages, are trans-spliced with the addition of the 22-nt conserved spliced leader (SL), DCCGUAGCCAUUUUGGCUCAAG (D = U, A, or G), to the 5′ end.
