Splicing-factor alterations in cancers [PDF]
Tumor-associated alterations in RNA splicing result either from mutations in splicing-regulatory elements or changes in components of the splicing machinery. This review summarizes our current understanding of the role of splicing-factor alterations in human cancers.

Splicing factor mutations and cancer [PDF]
Recent advances in high‐throughput sequencing technologies have unexpectedly revealed that somatic mutations of splicing factor genes frequently occurred in several types of hematological malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndromes, other myeloid neoplasms, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Modulation of Splicing Factor Function and Alternative Splicing Outcomes
Alternative RNA splicing is an important means of genetic control and transcriptome diversity. Alternative splicing events are frequently studied independently, and coordinated splicing controlled by common factors is often overlooked: The molecular mechanisms by which splicing regulators promote or repress specific pre-mRNA processing are still not ...

CRISPR artificial splicing factors [PDF]
Abstract Alternative splicing allows expression of mRNA isoforms from a single gene, expanding the diversity of the proteome. Its prevalence in normal biological and disease processes warrant precise tools for modulation.

Processive phosphorylation of alternative splicing factor/splicing factor 2 [PDF]
SR proteins, named for their multiple arginine/serine (RS) dipeptide repeats, are critical components of the spliceosome, influencing both constitutive and alternative splicing of pre-mRNA. SR protein function is regulated through phosphorylation of their RS domains by multiple kinases, including a family of evolutionarily conserved SR protein-specific

Splicing factor mutations in hematologic malignancies [PDF]
Abstract Mutations in genes encoding RNA splicing factors were discovered nearly 10 years ago and are now understood to be among the most recurrent genetic abnormalities in patients with all forms of myeloid neoplasms and several types of lymphoproliferative disorders, as well as subjects with clonal hematopoiesis.

Alternative Splicing Events and Splicing Factors Are Prognostic in Adrenocortical Carcinoma [PDF]
Alternative splicing is involved in the pathogenesis of human diseases, including cancer. Here, we investigated the potential application of alternative splicing events (ASEs) and splicing factors (SFs) in the prognosis of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC).

A mutation in a splicing factor that causes retinitis pigmentosa has a transcriptome-wide effect on mRNA splicing [PDF]
Background: Substantial progress has been made in the identification of sequence elements that control mRNA splicing and the genetic variants in these elements that alter mRNA splicing (referred to as splicing quantitative trait loci – sQTLs).

Perturbation of chromatin structure globally affects localization and recruitment of splicing factors [PDF]
Chromatin structure is an important factor in the functional coupling between transcription and mRNA processing, not only by regulating alternative splicing events, but also by contributing to exon recognition during constitutive splicing.

SNEV is an evolutionarily conserved splicing factor whose oligomerization is necessary for spliceosome assembly [PDF]
We have isolated the human protein SNEV as downregulated in replicatively senescent cells. Sequence homology to the yeast splicing factor Prp19 suggested that SNEV might be the orthologue of Prp19 and therefore might also be involved in pre-mRNA splicing.
