An increasing body of evidence indicates that transcription and splicing are coupled and it is accepted that chromatin organization and DNA modification regulate transcription. Little is known, however, about the cross-talk between chromatin structure and splicing. We continue to examine how RNA polymerase II and DNA modifications mediate cross-talk between chromatin structure and splicing (see...

Eukaryotic pre-mRNA splicing allows for a large, diverse proteome to be coded by a relatively small genome. Alternative splicing events are well regulated, but when mutations disrupt the splice sites or regulatory elements, disease can occur. Similarly, mutations can cause disease through aberrant transcript production. Enhancers, one of the splicing regulatory elements, are frequent targets of...

Protein splicing technology harnesses the ability of inteins to ligate protein fragments, forming a mature protein. This report describes our effort to engineer rapamycin-dependent protein splicing of a ribotoxin, called α-sarcin. Engineering this system required the investigation of important splicing parameters, including extein context and splicing temperature. We show α-sarcin splicing is d...
