... Pseudouridine is a modified nucleotide that is prevalent in human mRNAs and is dynamically regulated. Here, we investigate when in their life cycle mRNAs become pseudouridylated to illuminate the potential regulatory functions of endogenous mRNA pseudouridylation. Using single-nucleotide resolution pseudouridine profiling on chromatin-associated RNA from human cells, we identified pseudouridines i ...

Abstract:
... How the splicing machinery defines exons or introns as the spliced unit has remained a puzzle for 30 years. Here, we demonstrate that peripheral and central regions of the nucleus harbor genes with two distinct exon-intron GC content architectures that differ in the splicing outcome. Genes with low GC content exons, flanked by long introns with lower GC content, are localized in the periphery, and ...

Abstract:
... Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) represent a protein family firmly involved in many signaling cascades, regulating a vast spectrum of stimulated cellular processes. Studies have shown that alternatively spliced isoforms of MAPKs play a crucial role in determining the desired cell fate in response to specific stimulations. Although the implication of most MAPKs transcript variants in the M ...

Abstract:
... Much research has assumed that Notch codes one protein. Then the protein will be cleaved into two parts and regenerates a heterodimers receptor to construct Notch signal pathways to regulate development in the past three decades. Here, we show that Notch in brown planthopper is a complex alternatively spliced gene has at least three transcriptional start sites, four exon skips, and 21 transcriptio ...

Abstract:
... The underlying mechanisms of splicing regulation through non-canonical splice junction processing remain largely unknown. Here, we identified two RBFOX2 splicing isoforms by alternative 3' splice site selection of exon 9; the non-canonical splice junction processed RBFOX2 transcript (RBFOX2-N.C.) was expressed by the selection of the 3' splice GG acceptor sequence. The cytoplasmic localization of ...

Abstract:
... The epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial morphological event that occurs during epithelial tumor progression. Snail and ZEB1/2 (ZEB1 and ZEB2), known as EMT transcription factors, are key regulators of this transition. ZEB1/2 are positively correlated with EMT phenotypes and the aggressiveness of cancers. On the contrary, Snail is also correlated with the aggressiveness of cancers, ...

Abstract:
... Alternative splicing accounts for a considerable portion of transcriptomic diversity, as most protein-coding genes are spliced into multiple mRNA isoforms. However, errors in splicing patterns can give rise to mis-splicing with pathological consequences, such as the congenital diseases familial dysautonomia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and spinal muscular atrophy. Small nuclear RNA (snRNA) compon ...

Abstract:
... Alternative splicing can lead to distinct protein isoforms. These can have different functions in specific cells and tissues or in different developmental stages. In this study, we explored whether transcripts assembled from long read, nanopore-based, direct RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) could improve the identification of protein isoforms in human K562 cells. By comparing with Illumina-based short rea ...
... Trim25 is a member of Tripartite Motif (TRIM) family. Previous studies report that trim25 modulates antiviral activity by activating RIG-I. In this study we explored the four alternative splicing (AS) variants X1-X4 of Japanese flounder trim25. The sequences of the AS variants were highly conserved. Expression levels of trim25 X1-X4 were increased after 12 h of poly I:C treatment in vitro. In vivo ...

Abstract:
... Kernel size, one of the traits that determine wheat yield, is controlled by multiple quantitative trait loci. Polish wheat (Triticum polonicum) has elongated and plump kernel and is a valuable material for breeding high-yielding wheat cultivars. However, genes or loci determining kernel length (KL) in Polish wheat are unknown. We identified and validated a major KL gene, KL-PW, at the P1 locus in ...

Abstract:
... High temperatures cause huge yield losses in rice. Heat‐shock factors (Hsfs) are key transcription factors which regulate the expression of heat stress‐responsive genes, but natural variation in and functional characterization of Hsfs have seldom been reported. A significant heat response locus was detected via a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) using green leaf area as an indicative trait. A ...

... The hnRNP A/B family of proteins is canonically central to cellular RNA metabolism, but due to their highly conserved nature, the functional differences between hnRNP A1, A2/B1, A0, and A3 are often overlooked. In this review, we explore and identify the shared and disparate homeostatic and disease-related functions of the hnRNP A/B family proteins, highlighting areas where the proteins have not b ...

Abstract:
... N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant, highly dynamic mRNA modification that regulates mRNA splicing, stability, and translation. The m6A epigenetic mark is erased by RNA demethylases ALKBH5 (AlkB Homolog 5) and FTO (Fat mass and obesity-associated protein). The ALKBH5 and FTO RNA demethylases recognize m6A in similar nucleotide contexts. Therefore, these proteins can partially substitute ...

Abstract:
... Alternative pre-mRNA splicing plays a very important role in expanding protein diversity as it generates numerous transcripts from a single protein-coding gene. Therefore, alterations lead this process to neurological human disorders, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Moreover, accumulating evidence indicates that the splicing machinery highly contributes to the cells’ ability to ada ...

... Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is generally used for profiling transcriptome of individual cells. The droplet-based 10X Genomics Chromium (10X) approach and the plate-based Smart-seq2 full-length method are two frequently used scRNA-seq platforms, yet there are only a few thorough and systematic comparisons of their advantages and limitations. Here, by directly comparing the scRNA-seq data ...

Abstract:
... RNA splicing is an important driver of heterogeneity in single cells through the expression of alternative transcripts and as a determinant of transcriptional kinetics. However, the intrinsic coverage limitations of scRNA-seq technologies make it challenging to associate specific splicing events to cell-level phenotypes. BRIE2 is a scalable computational method that resolves these issues by regres ...

Abstract:
... Alternative splicing (AS) is a key process to expand the diversity of mRNA and protein from the genome and it is crucial for fate determination of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) by encoding isoforms with different functions to regulate the balance between pluripotency maintenance and differentiation. Since the role of the Hippo pathway in ESCs is controversial, there may be novel isoforms of Taz, a k ...

Abstract:
... Alternative splicing (AS) selects different alternative splice sites and produces a variety of transcripts with different exon/intron combinations, which may result in multiple protein isoforms. The splicing signals include cis-elements and RNA structures; however, the mechanisms of AS regulation in plants have yet to be elucidated. Previous studies have shown that in Platanus acerifolia, the FLOW ...

Abstract:
... Alternative splicing (AS) is a major gene regulatory mechanism in plants. Recent evidence supports co‐transcriptional splicing in plants, hence the chromatin state can impact AS. However, how dynamic changes in the chromatin state such as nucleosome occupancy influence the cold‐induced AS remains poorly understood. Here, we generated transcriptome (RNA‐Seq) and nucleosome positioning (MNase‐Seq) d ...

However, the full-length (FL) transcripts and alternative splice (AS) isoforms could not be confidently and accurately defined with SGS.
