Regulation of apoptosis by alternative pre-mRNA splicing.
Apoptosis, a phenomenon that allows the regulated destruction and disposal of damaged or unwanted cells, is common to many cellular processes in multicellular organisms. In humans more than 200 proteins are involved in apoptosis, many of which are dysregulated or defective in human diseases including cancer. A large number of apoptotic factors are regulated via alternative splicing, a process t...
متن کاملRegulation of Ich-1 pre-mRNA alternative splicing and apoptosis by mammalian splicing factors.
The importance of alternative splicing in regulating apoptosis has been suggested by findings of functionally antagonistic proteins generated by alternative splicing of several genes involved in apoptosis. Among these, Ich-1 (also named as caspase-2) encodes a member of the caspase family of proteases. Two forms of Ich-1 are produced as a result of alternative splicing: Ich-1L, which causes apo...

متن کاملTailoring of membrane proteins by alternative splicing of pre-mRNA.
Alternative splicing (AS) of RNA is a key mechanism for diversification of the eukaryotic proteome. In this process, different mRNA transcripts can be produced through altered excision and/or inclusion of exons during processing of the pre-mRNA molecule. Since its discovery, AS has been shown to play roles in protein structure, function, and localization. Dysregulation of this process can resul...
متن کاملControl of alternative pre-mRNA splicing by Ca(++) signals.
Alternative pre-mRNA splicing is a common way of gene expression regulation in metazoans. The selective use of specific exons can be modulated in response to various manipulations that alter Ca(++) signals, particularly in neurons. A number of splicing factors have also been found to be controlled by Ca(++) signals. Moreover, pre-mRNA elements have been identified that are essential and suffici...
