Role of Aberrant Alternative Splicing in Cancer
Alternative splicing can alter genome sequence and as a consequence, many genes change to oncogenes. This event can also affect protein function and diversity. The growing number of study elucidate the pathological influence of impaired alternative splicing events on numerous disease including cancer. Here, we would like to highlight the significant role of alternative splicing in cancer biolog...
متن کاملTissue-specific alternative splicing of TCF7L2
Common variants in the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene have been identified as the strongest genetic risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the mechanisms by which these non-coding variants increase risk for T2D are not well-established. We used 13 expression assays to survey mRNA expression of multiple TCF7L2 splicing forms in up to 380 samples from eight types of human t...
متن کاملControl of Drosophila Sex-lethal pre-mRNA splicing by its own female-specific product.
Drosophila melanogaster somatic sexual differentiation is accomplished by serial function of the products of sex-determination genes. Sex-lethal (Sxl), is one such gene. It is functionally expressed only in female flies. The sex-specific expression of this gene is regulated by alternative mRNA splicing which results in either the inclusion or exclusion of the translation stop codon containing t...
متن کاملBioinformatics of alternative splicing and its regulation
The sequencing of the human genome and ensuing wave of data generation have brought new light upon the extent and importance of alternative splicing as an RNA regulatory mechanism. Alternative splicing could potentially explain the complexity of protein repertoire during evolution, and defects in the splicing mechanism are responsible for diseases as complex as cancer. Among the challenges that...
متن کاملI-3: Tale of The Tail: Candidate Genes Involved in Sperm Flagella Formation
Background ISTS defect in which sperm tail is short and fibrous sheath and axoneme are disorganized, is one of the syndromes that cause male infertility. Although a few studies have been done in this regard, its exact etiology in human is unclear yet. Four candidate genes causing ISTS are SPEF2, RABL2B, and A-kinas anchoring proteins genes (AKAP3 and AKAP4). Proteins which coded by SPEF2 and RA...
