Researchers confirm that the established pre-mRNA splicing mechanism that appears in textbooks cannot work in a subset of human short introns: A novel SAP30BP–RBM17 complex-dependent splicing has been ...
Certain plant and animal introns increase expression of protein-coding sequences when placed in the 5′ region of the transcription unit. The mechanisms of intron-mediated enhancement have not been ...
Group II introns are ribozymes that catalyze a splicing reaction with the same chemical steps as spliceosome-mediated splicing. Many group II introns have lost the capacity to self-splice while ...
Gene transcription produces pre-messenger RNAs (pre-mRNA) that are composed of exons and introns as the first RNA species. Subsequent splicing consists of the deletion of introns and the specific ...
Pre-mRNA splicing in a subset of human short introns is governed by a distinct mechanism involving a new splicing factor Protein-coding genes carry the blueprint for protein production. In higher ...
Viral-infected cell lines are a commonly used experimental system to investigate host mechanisms and restriction factors, which inhibit viral replication and infection. In the present study, ...
Alison Tang (UC Santa Cruz) describes her lab’s studies on full-length transcript characterization of the mutated SF3B1 transcriptome in chronic lymphocytic leukemia Sponsored content brought to you ...
Our cells have to generate a massive number of proteins, and there is a carefully orchestrated procedure for doing so. It starts when active genes are transcribed into RNA, and while that RNA ...
The modulation of RNA splicing by small molecules has emerged as a promising strategy for treating pathogenic infections, human genetic diseases, and cancer; however, the principles by which splicing ...
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have decoded the nuclear genome of Amorphochlora amoebiformis, a unicellular marine alga ...
