SAM68 is a physiological regulator of SMN2 splicing in spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]

, 2015
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by loss of motor neurons in patients with null mutations in the SMN1 gene. The almost identical SMN2 gene is unable to compensate for this deficiency because of the skipping of exon 7 ...

PARP inhibition and pharmacological ascorbate demonstrate synergy in castration‐resistant prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pharmacologic ascorbate (vitamin C) increases ROS, disrupts cellular metabolism, and induces DNA damage in CRPC cells. These effects sensitize tumors to PARP inhibition, producing synergistic growth suppression with olaparib in vitro and significantly delayed tumor progression in vivo. Pyruvate rescue confirms ROS‐dependent activity.

An operad for splicing

, 2012
A new topological operad is introduced, called the splicing operad. This operad acts on a broad class of spaces of self-embeddings N --> N where N is a manifold.

Identifying RNA splicing factors using IFT genes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]

, 2018
Intraflagellar transport moves proteins in and out of flagella/cilia and it is essential for the assembly of these organelles. Using whole-genome sequencing, we identified splice site mutations in two IFT genes,

Correlation of the differential expression of PIK3R1 and its spliced variant, p55α, in pan‐cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PIK3R1 undergoes alternative splicing to generate the isoforms, p85α and p55α. By combining large patient datasets with laboratory experiments, we show that PIK3R1 spliced variants shape cancer behavior. While tumors lose the protective p85α isoform, p55α is overexpressed, changes linked to poorer survival and more pronounced in African American ...

Systematic analysis of nonsense variants uncovers peptide release rate as a novel modifier of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay

Cell Genomics
Summary: The phenotypic impact of nonsense variants is determined by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), which degrades transcripts with premature termination codons (PTCs).

Investigation of Experimental Factors That Underlie BRCA1/2 mRNA Isoform Expression Variation: Recommendations for Utilizing Targeted RNA Sequencing to Evaluate Potential Spliceogenic Variants

Frontiers in Oncology, 2018
PCR-based RNA splicing assays are commonly used in diagnostic and research settings to assess the potential effects of variants of uncertain clinical significance in BRCA1 and BRCA2.

Comparative analysis of piRNA sequences, targets and functions in nematodes

RNA Biology, 2022
Piwi proteins and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are best known for their roles in suppressing transposons and promoting fertility. Yet piRNA biogenesis and its mechanisms of action differ widely between distantly related species.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

A comprehensive splicing characterization of COL4A5 mutations and prognostic significance in a single cohort with X-linked alport syndrome

Frontiers in Genetics
IntroductionX-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS), caused by mutations in the COL4A5 gene, is an X-linked hereditary disease typically characterized by renal failure, hearing loss, and ocular abnormalities.
