Alternatively spliced androgen receptor variants.
Alternative splicing is an important mechanism for increasing functional diversity from a limited set of genes. Deregulation of this process is common in diverse pathologic conditions. The androgen receptor (AR) is a steroid receptor transcription factor with functions critical for normal male development as well as the growth and survival of normal and cancerous prostate tissue. Studies of AR ...
متن کاملSelective secretion of alternatively spliced fibronectin variants
We demonstrate that the alternatively spliced variable (V) region of fibronectin (FN) is required for secretion of FN dimers during biosynthesis. Alternative splicing of the V segment of the rat FN transcript generates three subunit variants (V120, V95, V0) that differ by the inclusion or omission of an additional 120 or 95 amino acids. We are exploring the functions of this segment by expressi...
متن کاملNeuronatin mRNA: alternatively spliced forms of a novel brain-specific mammalian developmental gene.
Neurogenesis begins with the closure of the neural tube around mid gestation and continues in the rat for about two weeks postnatally. Therefore, we investigated the role of neuronatin, a novel cDNA that we cloned from neonatal rat brain (Joseph et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 201 (1994) 1227-1234), in brain development. Further studies described in the present manuscript, lead to the i...
متن کاملAlternatively spliced mRNA variants of chloroplast ascorbate peroxidase isoenzymes in spinach leaves.
We have previously shown that stromal and thylakoid-bound ascorbate peroxidase (APX) isoenzymes of spinach chloroplasts arise from a common pre-mRNA by alternative splicing in the C-terminus of the isoenzymes [Ishikawa, Yoshimura, Tamoi, Takeda and Shigeoka (1997) Biochem. J. 328, 795-800]. To explore the production of mature, functional mRNA encoding chloroplast APX isoenzymes, reverse transcr...
متن کاملMutually exclusive expression of alternatively spliced FMRFamide transcripts in identified neuronal systems of the snail Lymnaea.
The FMRFamide gene of the snail Lymnaea encodes tetrapeptides (FMRFamide/FLRFamide) and heptapeptides (GDPFLRFamide/SDPFLRFamide) on separate exons. In situ hybridization probes specific to these exons were used to map the expression of the two exons in identified neuronal systems of the CNS. Analysis of more than 200 preparations showed that cytoplasmic expression of mRNA was exclusively of on...
