Protein splicing is a naturally occurring post‐translational process in which inteins, as self‐excising protein segments, precisely remove themselves from a host polypeptide and concomitantly ligate ...
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have discovered that a protein called hnRNPM helps protect the integrity of the process cells use to make proteins. hnRNPM ...
Aided by two molecular control factors, the spliceosome rejects pre-mRNA that could be incorrectly spliced. While GPATCH1 detects the defective pre-mRNA, DHX35 removes it from the spliceosome, which ...
This article was review by Thomas Cooper, MD from Baylor College of Medicine. Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Despite its significance, alternative splicing’s global ...
