Splicing Regulation: The Cell Cycle Connection
نویسنده
چکیده
Many genes are repressed during mitosis, and this is known to involve differential phosphorylation of specific factors required for transcription, 3'-end RNA processing and translation. A recent study suggests that splicing is also targeted for mitotic repression, in this case by dephosphorylation of the newly identified splicing factor SRp38.

A connection between pre-mRNA splicing and the cell cycle in fission yeast: cdc28+ is allelic with prp8+ and encodes an RNA-dependent ATPase/helicase.
The fission-yeast gene cdc28+ was originally identified in a screen for temperature-sensitive mutants that exhibit a cell-division cycle arrest and was found to be required for mitosis. We undertook a study of this gene to understand more fully the general requirements for entry into mitosis. Cells carrying the conditional lethal cdc28-P8 mutation divide once and arrest in G2 after being shifte...
متن کاملThe Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene CDC40/PRP17 controls cell cycle progression through splicing of the ANC1 gene.
The timing of events in the cell cycle is of crucial importance, as any error can lead to cell death or cancerous growth. This accurate timing is accomplished through the activation of specific CDC genes. Mutations in the CDC40/PRP17 gene cause cell cycle arrest at the G2/M stage. It was previously found that the CDC40 gene encodes a pre-mRNA splicing factor, which participates in the second st...
متن کاملColony Forming Unit Endothelial Cells Do not Exhibit Telomerase Alternative Splicing Variants and Activity
Introduction: Endothelial progenitor colony forming unit-endothelial cells (CFU-EC) were first believed to be the progenitors of endothelial cells, named endothelial progenitor cells. Further studies revealed that they are monocytes regulating vasculogenesis. The main hindrance of these cells for therapeutic purposes is their low frequency and limited replicative potentials. This study was unde...
متن کاملMutations in genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encoding pre-mRNA splicing factors cause cell cycle arrest through activation of the spindle checkpoint.
Previous work has identified a group of genes whose products play important roles in two seemingly unrelated processes: cell cycle progression and splicing. The products of these genes show a network of physical and genetic interactions suggestive of the existence of a protein complex, the cell cycle and splicing complex (CSC). Here we analyze the genetic interactions between ISY1, SYF2 and NTC...
متن کاملRoles of Chromatin insulators in gene regulation and diseases
With advances in genetic science, the dynamic structure of eukaryotic genome is considered as basis of gene expression regulation. Long-distance communication between regulatory elements and target promoters is critical and the mechanisms responsible for this connection are just starting to emerge. Chromatin insulators are key determinants of proper gene regulation and precise organization of c...
