Abstract:
AbstractIn the present study, a genomic DNA of MIH (GenBank: #EU869539) was cloned from the swimming crab, Portunus trituberculatus (Miers, 1876). The genome DNA, consisting of 2865 bp, is comprised of three exons interrupted by two introns. Multiple sequence alignments revealed that in the 5 upstream region of MIH, sequences with high similarity to arthropod initiator, TATA box, CREB (cyclic AMP response element binding) protein were the common structure. The signal peptide in the genomic DNA was encoded by exon1 and exon2, which was interrupted by 242 bp-intron (intron1), located between gln

Three genes encoding granule-bound starch synthase (wx-TmA, wx-TsB, and wx-TtD) have been isolated from Triticum monococcum (AA), and Triticum speltoides (BB), by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approach, and from Triticum tauschii (DD), by screening a genomic DNA library. Multiple sequence alignment indicated that the wx-TmA, wx-TsB, and wx-TtD genes had the same extron and (or) intron structure as the previously reported waxy gene from barley.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Although the splicing of transcripts from most eukaryotic genes occurs in a constitutive fashion, some genes can undergo a process of alternative splicing. This is a genetically economical process which allows a single gene to give rise to several protein isoforms by the inclusion or exclusion of sequences into or from the mature mRNA. CD44 provides a unique example; more than 1,000 possible isoforms can be produced by the inclusion or exclusion of a central tandem array of 10 alternatively spliced exons. Certain alternatively spliced exons have been ascribed specific functions; howev

Abstract:
Studies have indicated that exon and intron size and intergenic distance are correlated with gene expression levels and expression breadth. Previous reports on these correlations in plants and animals have been conflicting. In this study, next-generation sequence data, which has been shown to be more sensitive than previous expression profiling technologies, were generated and analyzed from 14 tissues. Our results revealed a novel dichotomy. At the low expression level, an increase in expression breadth correlated with an increase in transcript size because of an increase in the number of exon

Twenty-four mutants were produced to determine why the SK exon is not expressed in COS cells. The results showed that exons NM and SK are not in competition for splicing to the flanking exons and that there is no intrinsic barrier to splicing between the exons. Instead, exon SK is skippe

Stathmin, which functions as an intracellular relay in signal transduction pathways, has been suggested as a potential indicator of pluripotent cells in the early mouse embryo. In this study, chicken stathmin cDNA and genomic DNA were analyzed. In mammals stathmin consists of five exons and four introns; exons 3, 4, and 5 in the mammalian stathmin gene are equivalent to one relatively large exon in the chicken stathmin gene. Introns equivalent to introns 3 and 4 in the mammalian stathmin gene are not present in the counterpart gene in chickens and, although intron 2 was shown to be present in

Abstract Proper expression of the MDS-disease gene, SF3B1, ensures appropriate pre-mRNA splicing in erythroid progenitors and during terminal erythropoiesis. We previously showed that the SF3B1 gene is post-transcriptionally regulated in a differentiation stage-specific manner by intron retention (IR), such that ~50% of its transcripts in mature erythroblasts retain intron 4. Based on new mechanistic studies, we propose a model in which mostly unannotated and noncoding exons within intron 4 function as splicing decoys; i.e., they promote retention of intron 4 by interacting with, and blocking

Introns qualify as Noncoding nucleotide sequences. In splicing, some segments of the RNA transcript (introns) are eliminated, the other segments (exons) are joining together in the formation of the coding RNAs (mRNA, rRNA and tRNA). Also, Non-coding RNA genes are parts of the intronic. On average, there are 7.8 introns and 8.8 exons per human gene. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are existed in the various positions through the human gene, promoters, alternating regions of exons and introns, terminator, in addition to UTRs, untranslated regions (5'- and 3'-).Therefore, many diseases hav

Abstract:
Pre-mRNA splicing is a fundamental process required for the expression of most metazoan genes. It is carried out by the spliceosome, which catalyzes the removal of noncoding intronic sequences to assemble exons into mature mRNAs prior to export and translation. Given the complexity of higher eukaryotic genes and the relatively low level of splice site conservation, the precision of the splicing machinery in recognizing and pairing splice sites is impressive. Introns ranging in size from &lt;100 up to 100,000 bases are removed efficiently. At the same time, a large number of alternative splicin
