Species-specific variation of RPA-interacting protein (RIP) splice isoforms.
Replication Protein A (RPA) is a single stranded DNA-binding protein involved in DNA metabolic activities such as replication, repair, and recombination. RPA-Interacting Protein alpha (RIPalpha) was originally identified as a nuclear transporter of RPA in Xenopus. The human RIPalpha gene encodes several splice isoforms, of which hRIPalpha and hRIPbeta are the major translation products in vivo....
متن کاملNatural Variation in the Splice Site Strength of a Clock Gene and Species-Specific Thermal Adaptation
We show that multiple suboptimal splice sites underlie the thermal-sensitive splicing of the period (per) 3'-terminal intron (dmpi8) from D. melanogaster, enabling this species to prolong its midday "siesta," a mechanism that likely diminishes the deleterious effects of heat during the longer summer days in temperate climates. In D. yakuba and D. santomea, which have a more ancestral distributi...
متن کاملReceptor-interacting protein (RIP) and Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) are on opposite sides of anoikis and tumorigenesis.
BACKGROUND Regulating cross-talk between anoikis and survival signaling pathways is crucial to regulating tissue processes and mitigating diseases like cancer. Previously, the authors demonstrated that anoikis activates a signaling pathway involving the CD95/Fas-mediated signaling pathway that is regulated by receptor-interacting protein (RIP), a kinase that shuttles between Fas-mediated cell d...
متن کاملIdentification of embryo specific human isoforms using a database of predicted alternative splice forms
Alternative splicing is one of the most important mechanisms to generate a large number of mRNA and protein isoforms from a small number of genes. Its study became one of the hot topics in computational genome analysis. The repository EASED (Extended Alternatively Spliced EST Database, http://eased.bioinf.mdc-berlin.de/) stores a large collection of splice variants predicted from comparing the ...
متن کاملThe neuron-specific Ca2+-binding protein caldendrin: gene structure, splice isoforms, and expression in the rat central nervous system.
Caldendrin is the founder member of a recently discovered family of calmodulin-like proteins, which are highly abundant in brain. In this study we examined the organization of the murine and human caldendrin gene as well as the expression pattern of transcripts for caldendrin and two novel splice variants. In addition the distribution of caldendrin in rat brain has been assessed by immunohistoc...
