Statistical analysis of mammalian pre-mRNA splicing sites.
نویسنده
چکیده
222 donor and 222 acceptor (including 206 pairs) non-homologous splicing sites were studied. Well known features of these were confirmed and some novel observations were made. It is (1) cCAGGGag signal in (-60)-(-58) region of acceptor sites; (2) strong complementarity between regions (-69)-(-55) and (-36)-(-22) of some of the acceptor sites, and (3) small but statistically significant correlation between discrimination energies of corresponding donor and acceptor sites.

Differential Recruitment of Pre-mRNA Splicing Factors to Alternatively Spliced Transcripts In Vivo
Alternative splicing in mammalian cells has been suggested to be largely controlled by combinatorial binding of basal splicing factors to pre-mRNA templates. This model predicts that distinct sets of pre-mRNA splicing factors are associated with alternatively spliced transcripts. However, no experimental evidence for differential recruitment of splicing factors to transcripts with distinct spli...
متن کاملIntronic Binding Sites for hnRNP A/B and hnRNP F/H Proteins Stimulate Pre-mRNA Splicing
hnRNP A/B proteins modulate the alternative splicing of several mammalian and viral pre-mRNAs, and are typically viewed as proteins that enforce the activity of splicing silencers. Here we show that intronic hnRNP A/B-binding sites (ABS) can stimulate the in vitro splicing of pre-mRNAs containing artificially enlarged introns. Stimulation of in vitro splicing could also be obtained by providing...
متن کاملDisassembly of interchromatin granule clusters alters the coordination of transcription and pre-mRNA splicing
To examine the involvement of interchromatin granule clusters (IGCs) in transcription and pre-mRNA splicing in mammalian cell nuclei, the serine-arginine (SR) protein kinase cdc2-like kinase (Clk)/STY was used as a tool to manipulate IGC integrity in vivo. Both immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy analyses of cells overexpressing Clk/STY indicate that IGC components are compl...
متن کاملInverse splicing of a discontinuous pre-mRNA intron generates a circular exon in a HeLa cell nuclear extract.
We have recently reported the first example of inverse splicing of a eukaryotic pre-mRNA intron using a whole cell extract from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The concomitant circularization of the exon in the course of this splicing reaction gave rise to the hypothesis that the circular RNA species, which had been recently discovered in vivo in mammalian cells, were generated by inverse s...
متن کاملOrganization of RNA polymerase II transcription and pre-mRNA splicing within the mammalian cell nucleus.
Introduction Splicing is an essential step in the processing of intron-containing pre-mRNAs before their transport out of the nucleus (for a review see [ 13). During the last few years, a significant number of studies have addressed the relationship of pre-mRNA splicing to nuclear structure (for a review see [Z]). Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs) as well as several non-snRNP s...
