Inhibiting PRMT1 enzymatic activity promotes megakaryocyte terminal differentiation via RBM15-mediated RNA metabolism, which is dysregulated in hematological malignancies.
Identifying the translational targets of the shuttling protein, SRSF1, reveals that it is needed for normal cell division, and suggests that it couples pre-mRNA splicing and translation.
The unfolded protein response sensor/transducer IRE1-mediated splicing of XBP1 mRNA encoding its active downstream transcription factor to maintain the homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum is sufficient for growth and development of medaka fish.
SeqZip is a new DNA ligation-based method to condense and maintain exon connectivity information within individual RNA molecules, which can provide new insights into alternative splicing.
Systematic splice site mutagenesis and the identification of splicing intermediates provides evidence that the dominant mechanism for the generation of circular RNA in fission yeast proceeds through an exon-containing lariat precursor.
By focusing on RNA-binding proteins whose genes have super enhancers in smooth muscle cells, the protein RBPMS was identified as an alternative splicing master regulator.
