Small molecule amiloride modulates oncogenic RNA alternative splicing to devitalize human cancer cells. [PDF]
Alternative splicing involves differential exon selection of a gene transcript to generate mRNA and protein isoforms with structural and functional diversity.

Splicing factor hnRNPH drives an oncogenic splicing switch in gliomas.
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 ...

Aurora-A phosphorylates splicing factors and regulates alternative splicing [PDF]
ABSTRACTAurora-A kinase is well known to regulate progression through mitosis. However, the kinase also performs additional functions that could explain the failure of its inhibitors to be effective in cancer treatments. To identify these functions, we applied a proteomics approach to search for interactors of Aurora-A.

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein forms nuclear condensates and regulates alternative splicing
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is caused by mutations in WASP, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be explored. Here the authors reveal that WASP deficiency results in aberrant RNA splicing, and that WASP regulates the transcription of splicing factor ...

Control of 3' splice site selection by the yeast splicing factor Fyv6. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Pre-mRNA splicing is catalyzed in two steps: 5ʹ splice site (SS) cleavage and exon ligation. A number of proteins transiently associate with spliceosomes to specifically impact these steps (1 st and 2 nd step factors).

Regulation of alternative splicing by p300-mediated acetylation of splicing factors [PDF]
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.

RNPS1 in PSAP complex controls periodic pre-mRNA splicing over the cell cycle
Summary: Cell cycle progression requires periodic gene expression through splicing control. However, the splicing factor that directly controls this cell cycle-dependent splicing remains unknown.
