Roles of alternative splicing in infectious diseases: from hosts, pathogens to their interactions
. Alternative splicing (AS) is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that removes introns and ligates exons to generate mature messenger RNAs (mRNAs), extremely improving the richness of transcriptome and proteome. Both mammal hosts and pathogens require

Inhibición parcial de dos genes que codifican para proteínas del empalmosoma en Giardia intestinalis
Introducción. Giardia intestinalis es un organismo tempranamente divergente en el que recientemente se demostró la presencia de intrones. La maquinaria responsable de la remoción de intrones en organismos eucariotas superiores es el empalmosoma, el cual ...

Intron lariat spliceosomes convert lariats to true circles: implications for intron transposition. [PDF]
Rare, full-length circular intron RNAs distinct from lariats have been reported in several species, but their biogenesis is not understood. We envisioned and tested a hypothesis for their formation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, documenting full-length ...

The DEAH-box NTPase Prp43 and its cofactors Ntr1 and Ntr2 form the NTR complex and are required for disassembling intron-lariat spliceosomes (ILS) and defective earlier spliceosomes.

Rearrangements within human spliceosomes captured after exon ligation [PDF]
In spliceosomes, dynamic RNA/RNA and RNA/protein interactions position the pre-mRNA substrate for the two chemical steps of splicing. Not all of these interactions have been characterized, in part because it has not been possible to arrest the complex at

Cloning and tissue expression of alternative spliceosome in chicken G-protein alpha subunit gene
In order to research deeply the transcription and splicing situations of chicken G-protein alpha subunit gene (GNAS), we used 5´ and 3´ rapid-amplification cDNA end (RACE) technology to clone and sequence the chicken GNAS gene, and used quantitative ...

The role of the neuregulins in the nucleus [PDF]
The neuregulins (NRGs) are ligands for receptor tyrosine kinases of the ErbB family. The NRG gene family consists of four members, NRG 1- 4 encoding different isoforms due to alternative splicing.

Therapeutic Targeting of Alternative Splicing: A New Frontier in Cancer Treatment
The ability for cells to harness alternative splicing enables them to diversify their proteome in order to carry out complex biological functions and adapt to external and internal stimuli. The spliceosome is the multiprotein-RNA complex charged with the

The spliceosome as a transposon sensor [PDF]
The ability to distinguish self from non-self nucleic acids enables eukaryotes to suppress mobile elements and maintain genome integrity. In organisms from protist to human, this function is performed by RNA silencing pathways. There have been major advances in our understanding of the RNA silencing machinery, but the mechanisms by which these pathways

Alternative Spliceosome Assembly Pathways Revealed by Single-Molecule Fluorescence Microscopy
Removal of introns from nascent transcripts (pre-mRNAs) by the spliceosome is an essential step in eukaryotic gene expression. Previous studies have suggested that the earliest steps in spliceosome assembly in yeast are highly ordered and the stable ...
