HIV- 1: To Splice Or Not To Splice, That Is THE Question [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 HIV-1 transcribes only one kind of transcript – the full length genomic RNA. To make the mRNA transcripts for the accessory proteins Tat and Rev, the genomic RNA must completely splice. The mRNA transcripts for Vif, Vpr, and Env must splice but not completely.

Spliced leader trans-splicing [PDF]
Current Biology, 2006 What is spliced leader (SL) trans-splicing? It is an mRNA maturation process, similar to intron splicing, which has been shown to occur in a limited number of eukaryotes. In SL trans-splicing, the cell replaces nucleotides at the 5′ end of some pre-mRNAs with those of a special class of small nuclear RNAs, called SL RNAs. These are short molecules with

The Signature of a Splice [PDF]
International Mathematics Research Notices, 2016 We study the behavior of the signature of colored links [Flo05, CF08] under the splice operation. We extend the construction to colored links in integral homology spheres and show that the signature is almost additive, with a correction term independent of the links. We interpret this correction term as the signature of a generalized Hopf link and give

To Splice or Not to Splice, That Is the Treatment [PDF]
Cell Chemical Biology, 2020 In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Shibata et al. (2020) rescue expression of CFTR from a defective gene by inhibiting splicing factors required for the inclusion of a pathogenic pseudo exon. Their work highlights the untapped potential of RNA splicing as a therapeutic target.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 A large fraction of DNA variants impairs pre-mRNA splicing in human hereditary disorders. Crigler-Najjar syndrome (CNS) is characterized by a severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia caused by variants in the UGT1A1 gene.

TrkB Truncated Isoform Receptors as Transducers and Determinants of BDNF Functions
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) belongs to the neurotrophin family of secreted growth factors and binds with high affinity to the TrkB tyrosine kinase receptors.

Splice and Dice: Intronic microRNAs, Splicing and Cancer [PDF]
Biomedicines, 2021 Introns span only a quarter of the human genome, yet they host around 60% of all known microRNAs. Emerging evidence indicates the adaptive advantage of microRNAs residing within introns is attributed to their complex co-regulation with transcription and alternative splicing of their host genes.

Molecular Cell, 2010 Maturation of mRNA termini occurs during transcription and can be aided by pausing of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). In this issue of Molecular Cell, two groups now demonstrate that RNAPII pausing may also assist cotranscriptional splicing in S. cerevisiae.

Cell, 2005 Newly synthesized transcripts are usually spliced during transcription or immediately thereafter. So pre-mRNA splicing has been presumed to occur exclusively in the cell nucleus. In this issue of Cell, Denis et al. (2005) now report the presence of functional spliceosomes and signal-dependent pre-mRNA splicing in the cytoplasm of platelets.

Journal of Neuroscience, 2014 The major cell classes of the brain differ in their developmental processes, metabolism, signaling, and function. To better understand the functions and interactions of the cell types that comprise these classes, we acutely purified representative ...
