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.

The paternal genome and the health of the assisted reproductive technology child
As a number of children born by assisted reproductive technology (ART) are increasing each year across the developed world, the health of such offspring is a matter of public concern.

The pathobiology of splicing [PDF]
AbstractNinety‐four percent of human genes are discontinuous, such that segments expressed as mRNA are contained within exons and separated by intervening segments, called introns. Following transcription, genes are expressed as precursor mRNAs (pre‐mRNAs), which are spliced co‐transcriptionally, and the flanking exons are joined together to form a ...

Inteins are self-splicing polypeptides with an ability to excise themselves from flanking host protein regions with remarkable precision; in the process, they ligate flanked host protein fragments.

Let X be a non-empty set, \({\mathcal A}\), \({\mathcal B}\) two \(\sigma\) -algebras on X, \({\mathcal C}_ 0\) the algebra generated by their union, \({\mathcal A}\bigvee {\mathcal B}\) the \(\sigma\) -algebra generated by \({\mathcal C}_ 0\); \(\mu\), \(\nu\) probability measures on \({\mathcal A}\), \({\mathcal B}\), respectively.

Splice site selection, rate of splicing, and alternative splicing on nascent transcripts. [PDF]
Based on ultrastructural analysis of actively transcribing genes seen in electron micrographs, we present evidence that pre-mRNA splicing occurs with a reasonable frequency on the nascent transcripts of early Drosophila embryo genes and that splice site selection may generally precede polyadenylation.

Splicing mutations in human genetic disorders: examples, detection, and confirmation
Precise pre-mRNA splicing, essential for appropriate protein translation, depends on the presence of consensus “cis” sequences that define exon-intron boundaries and regulatory sequences recognized by splicing machinery.

An evolutionarily conserved feature of introns is their ability to enhance expression of genes that harbor them. Introns have been shown to regulate gene expression at the transcription and post-transcription level.
