RNA structure is a key regulatory element in pathological ATM and CFTR pseudoexon inclusion events
Genomic variations deep in the intronic regions of pre-mRNA molecules are increasingly reported to affect splicing events. However, there is no general explanation why apparently similar variations may have either no effect on splicing or cause significant splicing alterations. In this work we have examined the structural architecture of pseudoexons previously described in ATM and CFTR patients...
متن کاملThe Kink Turn, a Key Architectural Element in RNA Structure
Kink turns (k-turns) are widespread structural elements that introduce an axial bend into duplex RNA with an included angle of 50°. These mediate key tertiary interactions and bind specific proteins including members of the L7Ae family. The standard k-turn comprises a three-nucleotide bulge followed by G·A and A·G pairs. The RNA kinks by an association of the two minor grooves, stabilized by th...
متن کاملAutocrine signaling is a key regulatory element during osteoclastogenesis
Osteoclasts are responsible for bone destruction in degenerative, inflammatory and metastatic bone disorders. Although osteoclastogenesis has been well-characterized in mouse models, many questions remain regarding the regulation of osteoclast formation in human diseases. We examined the regulation of human precursors induced to differentiate and fuse into multinucleated osteoclasts by receptor...
متن کاملnew insights into vegf-a alternative splicing: key regulatory switching in the pathological process
vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf-a) is one of the most important regulatory factors in pathological and physiological angiogenesis. alternative splicing is a complicated molecular process in vegf-a gene expression which adds complexity to vegf-a biology. among all vegf-a exons, alternative splicing of exon 8 is the key determinant of isoform switching from pro-angiogenic vegf-xxx to ant...
متن کاملKey Regulatory Gene Expression in Erythroleukemia Differentiation
The characteristics of cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with cell proliferation and differentiation is important to understand malignancy. In this report we characterise a leukemic model, D5A1, to study the action of differentiation agent, cellular events and gene expression of the selected transcription factors. Cells induced with 4 mM hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) caused signs...
