Alternatively Spliced Isoforms of Nerve- and Muscle-Derived Agrin Their Roles at the Neuromuscular Junction
Agrin induces synaptic differentiation at the skeletal neuromuscular junction (NMJ); both pre- and postsynaptic differentiation are drastically impaired in its absence. Multiple alternatively spliced forms of agrin that differ in binding characteristics and bioactivity are synthesized by nerve and muscle cells. We used surgical chimeras, isoform-specific mutant mice, and nerve-muscle cocultures...
متن کاملEASI—enrichment of alternatively spliced isoforms
Alternative splicing produces more than one protein from the majority of genes and the rarer forms can have dominant functions. Instability of alternative transcripts can also hinder the study of regulation of gene expression by alternative splicing. To investigate the true extent of alternative splicing we have developed a simple method of enriching alternatively spliced isoforms (EASI) from P...
متن کاملStructures of alternatively spliced isoforms of human ketohexokinase
A molecular understanding of the unique aspects of dietary fructose metabolism may be the key to understanding and controlling the current epidemic of fructose-related obesity, diabetes and related adverse metabolic states in Western populations. Fructose catabolism is initiated by its phosphorylation to fructose 1-phosphate, which is performed by ketohexokinase (KHK). Here, the crystal structu...
متن کاملAlternatively spliced isoforms of the human constitutive androstane receptor.
The nuclear receptor CAR (NR1I3) regulates transcription of genes encoding xenobiotic- and steroid-metabolizing enzymes. Regulatory processes that are mediated by CAR are modulated by a structurally diverse array of chemicals including common pharmaceutical and environmental agents. Here we describe four in-frame splice variants of the human CAR receptor gene. The variant mRNA splice transcript...
متن کاملTissue-specific distributions of alternatively spliced human PECAM-1 isoforms.
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) is a cell adhesion molecule that is highly expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and some hematopoietic cells. Its cytoplasmic domain is encoded by multiple exons, which undergo alternative splicing. Here, we demonstrate that the human PECAM-1 cytoplasmic domain undergoes alternative splicing, generating six different isoforms. RT-...
