The Role of E6 Spliced Isoforms (E6*) in Human Papillomavirus-Induced Carcinogenesis
Viruses, 2018 Persistent infections with High Risk Human Papillomaviruses (HR-HPVs) are the main cause of cervical cancer development. The E6 and E7 oncoproteins of HR-HPVs are derived from a polycistronic pre-mRNA transcribed from an HPV early promoter.

Rapidly evolving protointrons in Saccharomyces genomes revealed by a hungry spliceosome. [PDF]
, 2019 Introns are a prevalent feature of eukaryotic genomes, yet their origins and contributions to genome function and evolution remain mysterious. In budding yeast, repression of the highly transcribed intron-containing ribosomal protein genes (RPGs ...

Mutations in the splicing regulator Prp31 lead to retinal degeneration in Drosophila
Biology Open, 2021 Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a clinically heterogeneous disease affecting 1.6 million people worldwide. The second-largest group of genes causing autosomal dominant RP in human encodes regulators of the splicing machinery.

Structural basis for dual roles of Aar2p in U5 snRNP assembly [PDF]
, 2013 Yeast U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) is assembled via a cytoplasmic precursor that contains the U5-specific Prp8 protein but lacks the U5-specific Brr2 helicase.

SnapShot: Spliceosome Dynamics I
Cell, 2015 Spliceosomes are multi-megadalton RNA-protein molecular machines that carry out pre-mRNA splicing, that is, the removal of non-coding intervening sequences (introns) from eukaryotic pre-mRNAs and the ligation of neighboring coding regions (exons) to produce mature mRNA for protein biosynthesis on the ribosome.

Alternative splicing: transcriptional regulatory network in agroforestry
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Alternative splicing (AS) in plants plays a key role in regulating the expression of numerous transcripts from a single gene in a regulatory pathway. Variable concentrations of growth regulatory hormones and external stimuli trigger alternative splicing ...

RNA-Seq analysis of splicing in Plasmodium falciparum uncovers new splice junctions, alternative splicing and splicing of antisense transcripts. [PDF]
, 2011 Over 50% of genes in Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest human malaria parasite, contain predicted introns, yet experimental characterization of splicing in this organism remains incomplete.

Srsf10 and the minor spliceosome control tissue-specific and dynamic SR protein expression
eLife, 2020 Minor and major spliceosomes control splicing of distinct intron types and are thought to act largely independent of one another. SR proteins are essential splicing regulators mostly connected to the major spliceosome.
