The Period protein homolog LIN-42 negatively regulates microRNA biogenesis in C. elegans.
Developmental biology · 2014 · 390(2): 126-35
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression in many multicellular organisms. They are encoded in the genome and transcribed into primary (pri-) miRNAs before two processing steps that ultimately produce the mature miRNA. In order to generate …

Reactivation of fetal splicing programs in diabetic hearts is mediated by protein kinase C signaling.
The Journal of biological chemistry · 2013 · 288(49): 35372-86
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is one of the complications of diabetes that eventually leads to heart failure and death. Aberrant activation of PKC signaling contributes to diabetic cardiomyopathy by mechanisms that are poorly understood. Previous reports indicate that PKC is implicated in …

Differential L1 regulation in pluripotent stem cells of humans and apes.
Nature · 2013 · 503(7477): 525-529
Identifying cellular and molecular differences between human and non-human primates (NHPs) is essential to the basic understanding of the evolution and diversity of our own species. Until now, preserved tissues have been the main source for most comparative studies between …

Targeted degradation of sense and antisense C9orf72 RNA foci as therapy for ALS and frontotemporal degeneration.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America · 2013 · 110(47): E4530-9
Expanded hexanucleotide repeats in the chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72) gene are the most common genetic cause of ALS and frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). Here, we identify nuclear RNA foci containing the hexanucleotide expansion (GGGGCC) in patient cells, including …

Genome-wide analysis reveals SR protein cooperation and competition in regulated splicing.
Molecular cell · 2013 · 50(2): 223-35
SR proteins are well-characterized RNA binding proteins that promote exon inclusion by binding to exonic splicing enhancers (ESEs). However, it has been unclear whether regulatory rules deduced on model genes apply generally to activities of SR proteins in the cell. …

Genome-wide approaches to dissect the roles of RNA binding proteins in translational control: implications for neurological diseases.
Frontiers in neuroscience · 2012 · 6: 144
Translational control of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) is a key aspect of neurobiology, defects of which can lead to neurological diseases. In response to stimuli, local translation of mRNAs is activated at synapses to facilitate long-lasting forms of synaptic plasticity, the …

Integrative genome-wide analysis reveals cooperative regulation of alternative splicing by hnRNP proteins.
Cell reports · 2012 · 1(2): 167-78
Understanding how RNA binding proteins control the splicing code is fundamental to human biology and disease. Here, we present a comprehensive study to elucidate how heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoparticle (hnRNP) proteins, among the most abundant RNA binding proteins, coordinate to regulate …

Alternative splicing in stem cell self-renewal and diferentiation.
Advances in experimental medicine and biology · 2010 · 695: 92-104
This chapter provides a review of recent advances in understanding the importance of alternative pre-messenger RNA splicing in stem cell biology. The majority of transcribed pre-mRNAs undergo RNA splicing where introns are excised and exons are juxtaposed to form mature …

The PIWI proteins SMEDWI-2 and SMEDWI-3 are required for stem cell function and piRNA expression in planarians.
RNA (New York, N.Y.) · 2008 · 14(6): 1174-86
PIWI proteins are expressed in germ cells in a wide variety of metazoans, where they participate in the synthesis and function of a novel class of small RNAs called PIWI associated RNAs (piRNAs). One function of piRNAs is to preserve …

Discovery and analysis of evolutionarily conserved intronic splicing regulatory elements.
PLoS genetics · 2007 · 3(5): e85
Knowledge of the functional cis-regulatory elements that regulate constitutive and alternative pre-mRNA splicing is fundamental for biology and medicine. Here we undertook a genome-wide comparative genomics approach using available mammalian genomes to identify conserved intronic splicing regulatory elements (ISREs). Our …

Splicing regulators: targets and drugs.
Genome biology · 2005 · 6(12): 240
Silencing of splicing regulators by RNA interference, combined with splicing-specific microarrays, has revealed a complex network of distinct alternative splicing events in Drosophila, while a high-throughput screen of more than 6,000 compounds has identified drugs that interfere specifically and directly …

Identification and analysis of alternative splicing events conserved in human and mouse.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America · 2005 · 102(8): 2850-5
Alternative pre-mRNA splicing affects a majority of human genes and plays important roles in development and disease. Alternative splicing (AS) events conserved since the divergence of human and mouse are likely of primary biological importance, but relatively few of such …
