Multisite and bidirectional exonic splicing enhancer in CD44 alternative exon v3.
The human CD44 gene encodes multiple isoforms of a transmembrane protein that differ in their extracellular domains as a result of alternative splicing of its variable exons. Expression of CD44 is tightly regulated according to the type and physiological status of a cell, with expression of high molecular weight isoforms by inclusion of variable exons and low molecular weight isoforms containin...
متن کاملAn exonic splicing enhancer within a bidirectional coding sequence regulates alternative splicing of an antisense mRNA.
The discovery of increasing numbers of genes with overlapping sequences highlights the problem of expression in the context of constraining regulatory elements from more than one gene. This study identifies regulatory sequences encompassed within two genes that overlap in an antisense orientation at their 3' ends. The genes encode the alpha-thyroid hormone receptor gene (TRalpha or NR1A1) and R...
متن کاملAn Exonic Splicing Enhancer in Human IGF-I Pre-mRNA Mediates Recognition of Alternative Exon 5 by the Serine-Arginine Protein Splicing Factor-2/ Alternative Splicing Factor.
The human IGF-I gene has six exons, four of which are alternatively spliced. Variations in splicing involving exon 5 may occur, depending on the tissue type and hormonal environment. To study the regulation of splicing to IGF-I exon 5, we established an in vitro splicing assay, using a model pre-mRNA containing IGF-I exons 4 and 5 and part of the intervening intron. Using a series of deletion m...
متن کاملGeneral splicing factor SF2/ASF promotes alternative splicing by binding to an exonic splicing enhancer.
The general splicing factor SF2/ASF binds in a sequence-specific manner to a purine-rich exonic splicing enhancer (ESE) in the last exon of bovine growth hormone (bGH) pre-mRNA. More importantly, SF2/ASF stimulates in vitro splicing of bGH intron D through specific interaction with the ESE sequences. However, another general splicing factor, SC35, does not bind the ESE sequences and has no effe...
متن کاملAlternative splicing of CD200 is regulated by an exonic splicing enhancer and SF2/ASF
CD200, a type I membrane glycoprotein, plays an important role in prevention of inflammatory disorders, graft rejection, autoimmune diseases and spontaneous fetal loss. It also regulates tumor immunity. A truncated CD200 (CD200(tr)) resulting from alternative splicing has been identified and characterized as a functional antagonist to full-length CD200. Thus, it is important to explore the mech...
