Redirecting splicing with bifunctional oligonucleotides
Ectopic modulators of alternative splicing are important tools to study the function of splice variants and for correcting mis-splicing events that cause human diseases. Such modulators can be bifunctional oligonucleotides made of an antisense portion that determines target specificity, and a non-hybridizing tail that recruits proteins or RNA/protein complexes that affect splice site selection ...
متن کاملRole 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 کاملExpanding the action of duplex RNAs into the nucleus: redirecting alternative splicing
Double-stranded RNAs are powerful agents for silencing gene expression in the cytoplasm of mammalian cells. The potential for duplex RNAs to control expression in the nucleus has received less attention. Here, we investigate the ability of small RNAs to redirect splicing. We identify RNAs targeting an aberrant splice site that restore splicing and production of functional protein. RNAs can targ...
متن کاملTypes of Alternative Splicing
Alternative splicing events are classified into four main subgroups: (i) exon skipping (cassette exons), where the exon can be spliced out of the transcript together with its flanking introns; (ii) alternative 5�ss and (iii) 3�ss selection, which are the results of the recognition of two or more splice sites at one end of an exon; and (iv) intron retention, in wh...
متن کاملEvolution and Alternative Splicing
In order to comprehend the influence of evolutionary changes in gene structure on the alternative splicing mechanism, we work on three related subjects: (i) conservation of exonintron sequences, (ii) splice site score changes and (iii) length data changes, across the vertebrate tree. We have analyzed conservation levels of human Alternative cassette exons (ACEs) ...
