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 کاملTitin Diversity—Alternative Splicing Gone Wild
Titin is an extremely large protein found in highest concentrations in heart and skeletal muscle. The single mammalian gene is expressed in multiple isoforms as a result of alternative splicing. Although titin isoform expression is controlled developmentally and in a tissue specific manner, the vast number of potential splicing pathways far exceeds those described in any other alternatively spl...

Smith and Valcarcel, 2000). In some transcripts, whole functional domains can be added or subtracted from the protein coding sequence. In other systems, the intro-The human genome sequence can be thought of as a duction of an early stop codon can result in a truncated picture of the human organism. However, like an impres-protein or an unstable mRNA (Morrison et al., 1997). sionist painting, th...
متن کاملIncrease of functional diversity by alternative splicing.
A large-scale analysis of protein isoforms arising from alternative splicing shows that alternative splicing tends to insert or delete complete protein domains more frequently than expected by chance, whereas disruption of domains and other structural modules is less frequent. If domain regions are disrupted, the functional effect, as predicted from 3D structure, is frequently equivalent to rem...
متن کاملAlternative splicing and protein structure evolution
Alternative splicing is thought to be one of the major sources for functional diversity in higher eukaryotes. Interestingly, when mapping splicing events onto protein structures, about half of the events affect structured and even highly conserved regions i.e. are non-trivial on the structure level. This has led to the controversial hypothesis that such splice variants result in nonsense-mediat...
