Interactions of the Yeast SF3b Splicing Factor [PDF]
The U2 snRNP promotes prespliceosome assembly through interactions that minimally involve the branchpoint binding protein, Mud2p, and the pre-mRNA. We previously showed that seven proteins copurify with the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) SF3b U2 subcomplex that associates with the pre-mRNA branchpoint region: Rse1p, Hsh155p, Hsh49p, Cus1p, and Rds3p ...

Moonlighting in Mitosis: Analysis of the Mitotic Functions of Transcription and Splicing Factors
Moonlighting proteins can perform one or more additional functions besides their primary role. It has been posited that a protein can acquire a moonlighting function through a gradual evolutionary process, which is favored when the primary and secondary ...

Temporal Dynamic Analysis of Alternative Splicing During Embryonic Development in Zebrafish
Alternative splicing is pervasive in mammalian genomes and involved in embryo development, whereas research on crosstalk of alternative splicing and embryo development was largely restricted to mouse and human and the alternative splicing regulation ...

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

Proteomic identification of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L as a novel component of SLM/Sam68 nuclear bodies [PDF]
Background: Active pre-mRNA splicing occurs co-transcriptionally, and takes place throughout the nucleoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Splicing decisions are controlled by networks of nuclear RNA-binding proteins and their target sequences, sometimes in ...

The emerging role of splicing factors in cancer [PDF]
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.

Hypoxia-induced alternative splicing in endothelial cells
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.

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).

Biological relevance of alternative splicing in hematologic malignancies
Alternative splicing (AS) is a strictly regulated process that generates multiple mRNA variants from a single gene, thus contributing to proteome diversity.
