Detection of human interchromosomal trans-splicing in sequence databanks
Trans-splicing is a common phenomenon in nematodes and kinetoplastids, and it has also been reported in other organisms, including humans. Up to now, all in silico strategies to find evidence of trans-splicing in humans have required that the candidate sequences follow the consensus splicing site rules (spliceosome-mediated mechanism). However, this criterion is not supported by the best human ...
متن کاملDetection and analysis of spliced chimeric mRNAs in sequence databanks.
We have developed a databank screening procedure, the In Silico Trans-splicing Retrieval System (ISTReS), to identify heterologous, spliced mRNAs with potential origin from chromosomal translocations, mRNA trans-splicing and multi-locus transcription. A parsing algorithm to screen cDNA versus genome Blast outputs was implemented. Key filtering criteria were Blast scores of > or =300, match leng...
متن کاملInterchromosomal association and gene regulation in trans.
The nucleus is an ordered three-dimensional entity, and organization of the genome within the nuclear space might have implications for orchestrating gene expression. Recent technological developments have revealed that chromatin is folded into loops bringing distal regulatory elements into intimate contact with the genes that they regulate. Such intrachromosomal contacts appear to be a general...
متن کاملDetection of gene expression and sequence analysis of chicken class II trans activator (CIITA)
BACKGROUND:Class II transactivator (CIITA) is a dominanttranscriptional element, controlling numerous genes in theimmune system. CIITA is expressed in a constitutive pattern inantigen presenting cells although its expression can occur inother cell types. Since the revelation of CIITA, there have beenconsiderable advances toward understanding its role as anactivator of MHC II genes in humans and...
متن کاملSingle-cell detection of trans-splicing ribozyme in vivo activity.
The Tetrahymena trans-splicing ribozyme can edit RNA in a sequence-specific manner, but its efficiency needs to be improved for any functional rescues. This communication describes a simple method that uses a bacterial enzyme beta-lactamase to report trans-splicing activity of Tetrahymena ribozyme in single living mammalian cells by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. This enzyme-based ...
