Tissue-specific alternative splicing of hybrid Shaker/lacZ genes correlates with kinetic differences in Shaker K+ currents in vivo
Alternative splicing of the Shaker (Sh) locus of Drosophila generates several transcripts with divergent 5' and 3' domains that produce kinetically distinct K+ currents in Xenopus oocytes. Although suggestive that alternative splicing may be involved in generating K+ channel diversity, clear tissue-specific differences in the distribution of particular Sh gene products have not been demonstrate...
متن کاملTISA: tissue-specific alternative splicing in human and mouse genes.
Alternative splicing (AS) is a mechanism by which multiple transcripts are produced from a single gene and is thought to be an important mechanism for tissue-specific expression of transcript isoforms. Here, we report a novel graphing method for transcript reconstruction and statistical prediction of tissue-specific AS. We applied three selection steps to generate the splice graph and predict t...
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 کاملTissue-specific alternative splicing of TCF7L2
Common variants in the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene have been identified as the strongest genetic risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the mechanisms by which these non-coding variants increase risk for T2D are not well-established. We used 13 expression assays to survey mRNA expression of multiple TCF7L2 splicing forms in up to 380 samples from eight types of human t...
متن کاملTissue-specific alternative splicing of BK channel transcripts in Drosophila.
BK-type calcium-activated potassium channels are large conductance channels that respond to changes in intracellular calcium and membrane potential. These channels are used in a wide variety of cell types and have recently been linked to drug sensitivity and tolerance. In both Drosophila and mammals, BK channels are encoded by the slowpoke gene. The Drosophila slowpoke gene includes 14 alternat...
