Mechanisms of alternative splicing regulation: insights from molecular and genomics approaches

M Chen, JL Manley - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2009 - nature.com
Alternative splicing of mRNA precursors provides an important means of genetic control and
is a crucial step in the expression of most genes. Alternative splicing markedly affects human …

How is precursor messenger RNA spliced by the spliceosome?

R Wan, R Bai, X Zhan, Y Shi - Annual review of biochemistry, 2020 - annualreviews.org

RBFOX and PTBP1 proteins regulate the alternative splicing of micro-exons in human brain transcripts

YI Li, L Sanchez-Pulido, W Haerty… - Genome research, 2015 - genome.cshlp.org
Ninety-four percent of mammalian protein-coding exons exceed 51 nucleotides (nt) in
length. The paucity of micro-exons (≤ 51 nt) suggests that their recognition and correct …

Human branch point consensus sequence is yUnAy

K Gao, A Masuda, T Matsuura, K Ohno - Nucleic acids research, 2008 - academic.oup.com
Yeast carries a strictly conserved branch point sequence (BPS) of UACUA AC, whereas the

Fox-1 family of RNA-binding proteins

H Kuroyanagi - Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2009 - Springer
The Fox-1 family of RNA-binding proteins are evolutionarily conserved regulators of tissue-
specific alternative splicing in metazoans. The Fox-1 family specifically recognizes the (U) …

Large-scale comparative analysis of splicing signals and their corresponding splicing factors in eukaryotes

S Schwartz, J Silva, D Burstein, T Pupko… - Genome …, 2008 - genome.cshlp.org
Introns are among the hallmarks of eukaryotic genes. Splicing of introns is directed by three
main splicing signals: the 5′ splice site (5′ ss), the branch site (BS), and the …
