Rectifying RNA splicing errors in hereditary neurodegenerative disease.
The normal pattern of human gene expression requires precise coordination between the transcriptional and RNA processing machineries (1). During and following transcription, nascent RNAs may be modified by 5′-end capping, splicing, and 3′-end cleavage/ polyadenylation to generate the vast repertoire of gene products required for proper gene expression, from embryonic to late adult life. RNA spl...
متن کاملRNA metabolism in neurodegenerative disease
Aging-related neurodegenerative diseases are progressive and fatal neurological diseases that are characterized by irreversible neuron loss and gliosis. With a growing population of aging individuals, there is a pressing need to better understand the basic biology underlying these diseases. Although diverse disease mechanisms have been implicated in neurodegeneration, a common theme of altered ...
متن کاملRNA splicing: disease and therapy.
The majority of human genes that encode proteins undergo alternative pre-mRNA splicing and mutations that affect splicing are more prevalent than previously thought. The mechanism of pre-mRNA splicing is highly complex, requiring multiple interactions between pre-mRNA, small nuclear ribonucleoproteins and splicing factor proteins. Regulation of this process is even more complicated, relying on ...
متن کاملSpliceDisease database: linking RNA splicing and disease
RNA splicing is an important aspect of gene regulation in many organisms. Splicing of RNA is regulated by complicated mechanisms involving numerous RNA-binding proteins and the intricate network of interactions among them. Mutations in cis-acting splicing elements or its regulatory proteins have been shown to be involved in human diseases. Defects in pre-mRNA splicing process have emerged as a ...
متن کاملRNA-Binding Proteins: Splicing Factors and Disease
Pre-mRNA splicing is mediated by interactions of the Core Spliceosome and an array of accessory RNA binding proteins with cis-sequence elements. Splicing is a major regulatory component in higher eukaryotes. Disruptions in splicing are a major contributor to human disease. One in three hereditary disease alleles are believed to cause aberrant splicing. Hereditary disease alleles can alter splic...
