A splicing-dependent transcriptional checkpoint associated with prespliceosome formation [PDF]
, 2014 There is good evidence for functional interactions between splicing and transcription in eukaryotes, but how and why these processes are coupled remain unknown.

Splicing factor hnRNPH drives an oncogenic splicing switch in gliomas [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2011 In tumours, aberrant splicing generates variants that contribute to multiple aspects of tumour establishment, progression and maintenance. We show that in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) specimens, death-domain adaptor protein Insuloma-Glucagonoma protein 20 (IG20) is consistently aberrantly spliced to generate an antagonist, anti-apoptotic isoform (MAP ...

The splicing factor proline-glutamine rich (SFPQ/PSF) is involved in influenza virus transcription. [PDF]
, 2011 The influenza A virus RNA polymerase is a heterotrimeric complex responsible for viral genome transcription and replication in the nucleus of infected cells. We recently carried out a proteomic analysis of purified polymerase expressed in human cells and

Regulation of alternative splicing by p300-mediated acetylation of splicing factors [PDF]
RNA, 2019 Splicing of precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) is an important regulatory step in gene expression. Recent evidence points to a regulatory role of chromatin-related proteins in alternative splicing regulation. Using an unbiased approach, we have identified the acetyltransferase p300 as a key chromatin-related regulator of alternative splicing.

Characterization of factors involved in the coupling of 3' end processing and splicing and in the 3' end formation of mRNA precursors [PDF]
, 2006 Eukaryotic mRNA precursors are processed at their 5’ and 3’ ends and are spliced prior to their export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Although all three processing reactions can be studied separately in vitro, they are coupled in vivo.

Targeting splicing factors for cancer therapy
RNA, 2023 Alternative splicing (AS) of mRNAs is an essential regulatory mechanism in eukaryotic gene expression. AS misregulation, caused by either dysregulation or mutation of splicing factors, has been shown to be involved in cancer development and progression, making splicing factors suitable targets for cancer therapy.

Hypoxia-induced alternative splicing in endothelial cells [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Adaptation to low oxygen by changing gene expression is vitally important for cell survival and tissue development. The sprouting of new blood vessels, initiated from endothelial cells, restores the oxygen supply of ischemic tissues.

Splicing factor mutations in myelodysplasia [PDF]
International Journal of Hematology, 2012 Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and related myeloid neoplasms are a heterogeneous group of myeloid neoplasms, which frequently terminate in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). During the past decade, a number of gene mutations have been identified in MDS.

Quantification of pre-mRNA escape rate and synergy in splicing [PDF]
, 2014 Splicing reactions generally combine high speed with accuracy. However, some of the pre-mRNAs escape the nucleus with a retained intron. Intron retention can control gene expression and increase proteome diversity.

Multiple tandem splicing silencer elements suppress aberrant splicing within the long exon 26 of the human Apolipoprotein B gene. [PDF]
, 2013 : BACKGROUND: Apolipoprotein B (APOB) is an integral component of the chylomicron and the atherogenic lipoproteins LDL and Lp(a). Exon 26 of the APOB pre-mRNA is unusually long at 7,572 nt and is constitutively spliced.
