Book Synopsis Regulation of Alternative Splicing by : Philippe Jeanteur
Download or read book Regulation of Alternative Splicing written by Philippe Jeanteur and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-10-21 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery in 1977 that genes are split into exons and introns has done away with the one gene - one protein dogma. Indeed, the removal of introns from the primary RNA transcript is not necessarily straightforward since there may be optional pathways leading to different messenger RNAs and consequently to different proteins. Examples of such an alternative splicing mechanism cover all fields of biology. Moreover, there are plenty of occurrences where deviant splicing can have pathological effects. Despite the high number of specific cases of alternative splicing, it was not until recently that the generality and extent of this phenomenon was fully appreciated. A superficial reading of the preliminary sequence of the human genome published in 2001 led to the surprising, and even deceiving to many scientists, low number of genes (around 32,000) which contrasted with the much higher figure around 150,000 which was previously envisioned. Attempts to make a global assessment of the use of alternative splicing are recent and rely essentially on the comparison of genomic mRNA and EST sequences as reviewed by Thanaraj and Stamm in the first chapter of this volume. Most recent estimates suggest that 40-60% of human genes might be alternatively spliced, as opposed to about 22% for C. elegans.

Book Synopsis Relevance and Regulation of Alternative Splicing in Plant Heat Stress Response: Current Understanding and Future Directions by : Remus R. E. Rosenkranz
Download or read book Relevance and Regulation of Alternative Splicing in Plant Heat Stress Response: Current Understanding and Future Directions written by Remus R. E. Rosenkranz and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alternative splicing (AS) is a major mechanism for gene expression in eukaryotes, increasing proteome diversity but also regulating transcriptome abundance. High temperatures have a strong impact on the splicing profile of many genes and therefore AS is considered as an integral part of heat stress response. While many studies have established a detailed description of the diversity of the RNAome under heat stress in different plant species and stress regimes, little is known on the underlying mechanisms that control this temperature-sensitive process. AS is mainly regulated by the activity of splicing regulators. Changes in the abundance of these proteins through transcription and AS, post-translational modifications and interactions with exonic and intronic cis-elements and core elements of the spliceosomes modulate the outcome of pre-mRNA splicing. As a major part of pre-mRNAs are spliced co-transcriptionally, the chromatin environment along with the RNA polymerase II elongation play a major role in the regulation of pre-mRNA splicing under heat stress conditions. Despite its importance, our understanding on the regulation of heat stress sensitive AS in plants is scarce. In this review, we summarize the current status of knowledge on the regulation of AS in plants under heat stress conditions. We discuss possible implications of different pathways based on results from non-plant systems to provide a perspective for researchers who aim to elucidate the molecular basis of AS under high temperatures.
Book Synopsis Plant RNA Biology by : Dóra Szakonyi
Download or read book Plant RNA Biology written by Dóra Szakonyi and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discoveries from the past decades revealed that RNA molecules are much more than inert intermediates between the coding DNA sequences and their functional products, proteins. Today, RNAs are recognized as active regulatory molecules influencing gene expression, chromatin organization and genome stability, thus impacting all aspects of plant life including development, growth, reproduction and stress tolerance. Innovations in methodologies, the expanding application of next-generation sequencing technologies, and the creation of public datasets and databases have exposed a new universe of RNA-based mechanisms and led to the discovery of new families of non-coding RNAs, uncovered the large extent of alternative splicing events, and highlighted the potential roles of RNA modifications and RNA secondary structures. Furthermore, considerable advances have been made in identifying RNA-binding and processing factors involved in the synthesis and maturation of different forms of RNA molecules as well as in RNA processing, biochemical modifications or degradation. This Research Topic showcases the broad biological significance of RNAs in plant systems and contains eight original research articles, one review and four mini-reviews, covering various RNA-based mechanisms in higher plants. Emerging new technologies and novel multidisciplinary approaches are empowering the scientific community and will expectedly bring novel insights into our understanding of the mechanisms through which RNA is regulated and regulates biological processes in plant cells.
Book Synopsis Genome-wide Analysis of Splicing Related Genes and Alternative Splicing in Plants by : Bing-Bing Wang
Download or read book Genome-wide Analysis of Splicing Related Genes and Alternative Splicing in Plants written by Bing-Bing Wang and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenon of pre-mRNA splicing in eukaryotes has been mostly studied in mammalian and yeast systems. The splicing machinery in plants is thought to be largely conserved relative to animal and fungal organisms. This thesis encompasses systematic studies of splicing-related genes and alternative splicing (AS) in plants. A total of 74 snRNA genes and 395 genes encoding splicing related proteins were identified in Arabidopsis, including the previously elusive U4atac snRNA gene. About 50% of the splicing related genes are duplicated in plants. The duplication ratios for splicing regulators are even higher, indicating that the splicing mechanism is generally conserved among plants, but that the regulation of splicing may be more variable and flexible. Over 30% of the splicing related genes can be alternatively spliced. Overall, both Arabidopsis and rice have about 22% of the expressed genes being alternatively spliced, and both have about 55% AS events to be intron retention (IntronR). The consistent high frequency of IntronR suggests prevalence of splice site recognition by intron definition in plants. 40% of Arabidopsis AS genes are also alternatively spliced in rice, with some examples strongly suggesting a role of the AS event as an evolutionary conserved mechanism of post-transcriptional regulation. U2AF is an essential splicing factor in animals. The two copies of Arabidopsis U2AF1 (AUSa and AUSb) were experimentally characterized as a case study. AUSa expressed at a higher level than AUSb in most tissues. Altered expression levels of AUSa or AUSb cause pleiotropic phenotypes and splicing pattern changes for some pre-mRNA, indicating the importance of AUSa/b for correct splice site recognition. A novel C-terminal domain (SERE) is highly conserved in all seed plant U2AF1 homologs, suggesting its important function specific to higher plants. All together, similarities as well as differences were revealed between the splicing mechanisms in plants and mammalians, demonstrating that organisms have evolved special mechanisms to ensure the efficient and accurate splicing in different environments. Two databases (Arabidopsis Splicing Related Genes (ASRG), http://www.plantgdb.org/SRGD/ASRG/, and Alternative Splicing in Plants (ASIP), http://www.plantgdb.org/ASIP/) were constructed for the community to use and will facilitate studies of plant splicing mechanisms.

Book Synopsis Regulation and Evolution of Alternative Splicing in Plants by : Zhihao Ling
Download or read book Regulation and Evolution of Alternative Splicing in Plants written by Zhihao Ling and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies showed that alternative splicing (AS) is much more prevalent in plants than previously thought. Both genome-wide analyses and cases studies of AS in response to abiotic stresses indicate the importance of AS for plant adaptation in a changing environment. However, how plants regulate their AS in response to herbivore attack, one of major biotic stresses that threaten plant fitness, remains unknown. The tight association between AS and environmental stresses also points to the rapid evolution of AS. However, the underlying mechanisms for this rapid evolution are unknown in plants. In this thesis, I aimed to address these two main questions by investigating the genome-wide insect herbivore-induced AS alteration in wild tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) and by systematically studying the mechanisms that contributed to the evolution of AS among six plant species.
