Identification of an intronic splicing regulatory element involved in auto-regulation of alternative splicing of SCL33 pre-mRNA.
In Arabidopsis, pre-mRNAs of serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins undergo extensive alternative splicing (AS). However, little is known about the cis-elements and trans-acting proteins involved in regulating AS. Using a splicing reporter (GFP-intron-GFP), consisting of the GFP coding sequence interrupted by an alternatively spliced intron of SCL33, we investigated whether cis-elements within this...
متن کاملCaspase-2 pre-mRNA alternative splicing: Identification of an intronic element containing a decoy 3' acceptor site.
We have established a model system using the caspase-2 pre-mRNA and initiated a study on the role of alternative splicing in regulation of programmed cell death. A caspase-2 minigene construct has been made that can be alternatively spliced in transfected cells and in nuclear extracts. Using this system, we have identified a 100-nt region in downstream intron 9 that inhibits the inclusion of th...
متن کاملIntronic Alternative Splicing Regulators Identified by Comparative Genomics in Nematodes
Many alternative splicing events are regulated by pentameric and hexameric intronic sequences that serve as binding sites for splicing regulatory factors. We hypothesized that intronic elements that regulate alternative splicing are under selective pressure for evolutionary conservation. Using a Wobble Aware Bulk Aligner genomic alignment of Caenorhabditis elegans and Caenorhabditis briggsae, w...
متن کاملAn Intronic Signal for Alternative Splicing in the Human Genome
An important level at which the expression of programmed cell death (PCD) genes is regulated is alternative splicing. Our previous work identified an intronic splicing regulatory element in caspase-2 (casp-2) gene. This 100-nucleotide intronic element, In100, consists of an upstream region containing a decoy 3' splice site and a downstream region containing binding sites for splicing repressor ...
متن کاملPositive and negative intronic regulatory elements control muscle-specific alternative exon splicing of Drosophila myosin heavy chain transcripts.
Alternative splicing of Drosophila muscle myosin heavy chain (MHC) transcripts is precisely regulated to ensure the expression of specific MHC isoforms required for the distinctive contractile activities of physiologically specialized muscles. We have used transgenic expression analysis in combination with mutagenesis to identify cis-regulatory sequences that are required for muscle-specific sp...
