The Caenorhabditis elegans Gene mfap-1 Encodes a Nuclear Protein That Affects Alternative Splicing [PDF]
RNA splicing is a major regulatory mechanism for controlling eukaryotic gene expression. By generating various splice isoforms from a single pre–mRNA, alternative splicing plays a key role in promoting the evolving complexity of metazoans.

Intronic splicing enhancers, cognate splicing factors and context-dependent regulation rules [PDF]
SummaryMost human genes produce multiple splicing isoforms with distinct functions. To systematically understand splicing regulation, we conducted an unbiased screen and identified >100 intronic splicing enhancers (ISEs) that were clustered by sequence similarity into six groups.

Aurora kinase A regulates cancer-associated RNA aberrant splicing in breast cancer
The contribution of oncogenes to tumor-associated RNA splicing and the relevant molecular mechanisms therein require further elaboration. Here, we show that oncogenic Aurora kinase A (AURKA) promotes breast cancer-related RNA aberrant splicing in a ...

Transcriptomic analysis of autistic brain reveals convergent molecular pathology. [PDF]
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common, highly heritable neurodevelopmental condition characterized by marked genetic heterogeneity. Thus, a fundamental question is whether autism represents an aetiologically heterogeneous disorder in which the ...

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

Mud2 functions in transcription by recruiting the Prp19 and TREX complexes to transcribed genes [PDF]
The different steps of gene expression are intimately linked to coordinate and regulate this complex process. During transcription, numerous RNA-binding proteins are already loaded onto the nascent mRNA and package the mRNA into a messenger ...

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.

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.
