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 ...
A recent study highlights the pivotal role of alternative splicing in controlling plant secondary metabolism, which is crucial for producing bioactive compounds with significant medicinal and ...
The well-known essential pre-mRNA splicing factor U2AF heterodimer (U2AF2–U2AF1) has been identified as mediating early splicing reactions in all introns of different lengths. However, Dr. Kazuhiro ...
While humans can escape the heat by seeking shade or shedding layers, plants remain rooted in place. So how do they survive extreme heat? It’s a question many have wondered—and now, science has an ...
BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has become the most prevalent type of heart failure, a ...
Protein splicing is a self-catalysed post-translational process in which an intervening polypeptide segment, known as an intein, excises itself from a precursor protein and ligates the flanking ...
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 ...
Researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism that helps immune ...
A study from the laboratory of Shi-Yuan Cheng, Ph.D., professor in the Ken and Ruth Davee Department of Neurology's Division of Neuro-oncology, has identified novel mechanisms underlying RNA splicing ...
Genes contain the essential building instructions for life, guiding cells on which amino acids to assemble in what sequence to produce specific proteins. The human genome codes for about 20,000 such ...
Human introns have extensively varying lengths. Previously, only U2AF-dependent splicing was known. Researchers from Fujita Health University now show that splicing in a subset of human short introns ...
