Function of alternative splicing.

TL;DR: Evidence is now accumulating that alternative splicing coordinates physiologically meaningful changes in protein isoform expression and is a key mechanism to generate the complex proteome of multicellular organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

ReviewFunction of alternative splicing

TL;DR: The overall function of alternative splicing is to increase the diversity of mRNAs expressed from the genome as mentioned in this paper, which can have profound functional effects, such as increasing cell proliferation, cell survival and properties of the nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pre-mRNA Secondary Structures Influence Exon Recognition

TL;DR: The secondary structure context of experimentally determined splicing enhancer and silencer motifs in their natural pre-mRNA context is analyzed and it is found that these splicing motifs are significantly more single-stranded than controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

The intranuclear localization and function of YT521-B is regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation

TL;DR: It is proposed that tyrosine phosphorylation causes sequestration of YT521-B in an insoluble nuclear form, which abolishes the ability ofYT5 21-B to change alternative splice sites.
