U2AF1 mutations alter splice site recognition in hematological malignancies [PDF]

open access: goldGenome Research, 2013
Whole-exome sequencing studies have identified common mutations affecting genes encoding components of the RNA splicing machinery in hematological malignancies. Here, we sought to determine how mutations affecting the 3′ splice site recognition factor U2AF1 alter its normal role in RNA splicing.

Systematic Analysis of Splice-Site-Creating Mutations in Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
For the past decade, cancer genomic studies have focused on mutations leading to splice-site disruption, overlooking those having splice-creating potential. Here, we applied a bioinformatic tool, MiSplice, for the large-scale discovery of splice-site-creating mutations (SCMs) across 8,656 TCGA tumors.

Autosomal dominant optic atrophy: A novel treatment for OPA1 splice defects using U1 snRNA adaption

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2021
Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA) is frequently caused by mutations in the optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) gene, with haploinsufficiency being the major genetic pathomechanism. Almost 30% of the OPA1-associated cases suffer from splice defects.

Mutations in the Caenorhabditis elegans U2AF large subunit UAF-1 alter the choice of a 3' splice site in vivo. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2009
The removal of introns from eukaryotic RNA transcripts requires the activities of five multi-component ribonucleoprotein complexes and numerous associated proteins.

Mutational Analysis of 3′ Splice Site Selection duringtrans-Splicing [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
trans-Splicing is essential for mRNA maturation in trypanosomatids. A conserved AG dinucleotide serves as the 3' splice acceptor site, and analysis of native processing sites suggests that selection of this site is determined according to a 5'-3' scanning model. A series of stable gene replacement lines were generated that carried point mutations at or

Altered splicing of the BIN1 muscle-specific exon in humans and dogs with highly progressive centronuclear myopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Amphiphysin 2, encoded by BIN1, is a key factor for membrane sensing and remodelling in different cell types. Homozygous BIN1 mutations in ubiquitously expressed exons are associated with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (CNM), a mildly ...

Modifying splice site usage with ModCon: Maintaining the genetic code while changing the underlying mRNP code

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021
Codon degeneracy of amino acid sequences permits an additional “mRNP code” layer underlying the genetic code that is related to RNA processing. In pre-mRNA splicing, splice site usage is determined by both intrinsic strength and sequence context ...
