Mechanisms of alternative pre-messenger RNA splicing

DL Black - Annual review of biochemistry, 2003 - annualreviews.org

eukaryotes. Variability in splicing patterns is a major source of protein diversity from the …

Tropomyosin-based regulation of the actin cytoskeleton in time and space

P Gunning, G O'neill, E Hardeman - Physiological reviews, 2008 - journals.physiology.org
Tropomyosins are rodlike coiled coil dimers that form continuous polymers along the major

Role of RNA structure in regulating pre-mRNA splicing

MB Warf, JA Berglund - Trends in biochemical sciences, 2010 - cell.com
Pre-mRNA splicing involves removing non-coding introns from RNA transcripts. It is carried
out by the spliceosome, along with other auxiliary factors. In general, research in splicing …

Influence of RNA secondary structure on the pre-mRNA splicing process

E Buratti, FE Baralle - Molecular and cellular biology, 2004 - Taylor & Francis
Pre-mRNA splicing in eukaryotes requires joining together the nucleotides of the various
mRNA-coding regions (exons) after recognizing them from the normally vastly superior …

5′ splice site mutations in tau associated with the inherited dementia FTDP-17 affect a stem-loop structure that regulates alternative splicing of exon 10

A Grover, H Houlden, M Baker, J Adamson… - Journal of Biological …, 1999 - ASBMB
Missense and splice site mutations in the microtubule-associated protein tau gene were
recently found associated with fronto-temporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to …

Modulating role of RNA structure in alternative splicing of a critical exon in the spinal muscular atrophy genes

NN Singh, RN Singh, EJ Androphy - Nucleic acids research, 2007 - academic.oup.com
Humans have two nearly identical copies of the survival motor neuron (SMN) gene, SMN1
and SMN2. Homozygous loss of SMN1 causes spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). SMN2 is …

exonic splicing enhancer (ESE) in the last exon of bovine growth hormone (bGH) pre …

A neuron-specific splicing switch mediated by an array of pre-mRNA repressor sites: evidence of a regulatory role for the polypyrimidine tract binding protein and a …

M Ashiya, PJ Grabowski - Rna, 1997 - rnajournal.cshlp.org
Tissue-and stage-specific alternative splicing events are widespread in mammals, yet the
factors and mechanisms that direct these important posttranscriptional events are poorly …

Binding of hnRNP H to an exonic splicing silencer is involved in the regulation of alternative splicing of the rat β-tropomyosin gene

CD Chen, R Kobayashi, DM Helfman - Genes & development, 1999 - genesdev.cshlp.org
In the rat β-tropomyosin (β-TM) gene, exons 6 and 7 are spliced alternatively in a mutually
exclusive manner. Exon 6 is included in mRNA encoding nonmuscle TM-1, whereas exon 7 …
