Mechanisms of non-coding RNA-modulated alternative splicing in cancer
RNA Biology, 2022 Alternative splicing (AS) is a common and pivotal process for eukaryotic gene expression regulation, which enables a precursor RNA to produce multiple transcript variants with diverse cellular functions.

Characterization of a disease-associated mutation affecting a putative splicing regulatory element in intron 6b of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene [PDF]
, 2009 Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common recessive disorder caused by >1600 mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. About 13% of CFTR mutations are classified as “splicing mutations,” but for almost 40% of these, their role in ...

An exonic splicing enhancer in human IGF-I pre-mRNA mediates recognition of alternative exon 5 by the serine-arginine protein splicing factor-2/alternative splicing factor [PDF]
, 2002 The human IGF-I gene has six exons, four of which are alternatively spliced. Variations in splicing involving exon 5 may occur, depending on the tissue type and hormonal environment.

Screening and Identification of Survival-Associated Splicing Factors in Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is a disease with high morbidity and mortality. Many studies have shown that aberrant alternative splicing (AS) can lead to tumorigenesis, and splicing factors (SFs) serve as an important function during AS.

evolution, structure and function of metazoan splicing factor PRPF39 [PDF]
, 2019 In the yeast U1 snRNP the Prp39/Prp42 heterodimer is essential for early steps of spliceosome assembly. In metazoans no Prp42 ortholog exists, raising the question how the heterodimer is functionally substituted.
