Changes in intranuclear mobility of mature snRNPs provide a mechanism for splicing defects in spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]

, 2012
This work was funded by the Wellcome Trust (grant ID WT078810MA)It is becoming increasingly clear that defects in RNA metabolism can lead to disease. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a leading genetic cause of infant mortality, results from insufficient ...

Predicting the Impact of Alternative Splicing on Plant MADS Domain Protein Function [PDF]

, 2012
Several genome-wide studies demonstrated that alternative splicing (AS) significantly increases the transcriptome complexity in plants. However, the impact of AS on the functional diversity of proteins is difficult to assess using genome-wide approaches.

Splicing factors in the heart: Uncovering shared and unique targets

Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2023
Alternative splicing generates specialized protein isoforms that allow the heart to adapt during development and disease. The recent discovery that mutations in the splicing factor RNA-binding protein 20 (RBM20) cause a severe form of familial dilated cardiomyopathy has sparked a great interest in alternative splicing in the field of cardiology.

ABL kinase‐dependent phosphorylation of SH proteins promotes their direct interaction with CRK family SH2 domains

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

The emerging role of splicing factors in cancer [PDF]

The EMBO Reports, 2008
Recent progress in global sequence and microarray data analysis has revealed the increasing complexity of the human transcriptome. Alternative splicing generates a huge diversity of transcript variants and disruption of splicing regulatory networks is emerging as an important contributor to various diseases, including cancer.

Interaction of yeast eIF4G with spliceosome components Implications in pre-mRNA processing events [PDF]

, 2009
As evidenced from mammalian cells the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4G has a putative role in nuclear RNA metabolism. Here we investigate whether this role is conserved in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

A novel Splicing Factor that Affects Titin Alternative Splicing [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2011
Cardiac muscle expresses predominantly larger N2BA titin isoforms at embryonic and prenatal stages of development, and these are mostly replaced with a smaller N2B isoform in adults. We have previously discovered a mutation in rats that dramatically alters titin splicing (Greaser et al J Mol Cell Cardiol 44:982, 2008).

Tetracycline aptamer-controlled regulation of pre-mRNA splicing in yeast [PDF]

, 2007
Splicing of pre-mRNA is a critical step in mRNA maturation and disturbances cause several genetic disorders. We apply the synthetic tetracycline (tc)-binding riboswitch to establish a gene expression system for conditional tc-dependent control of pre ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...
