The two closely related regulatory genes are active in the normal development of mammals and govern how RNAs produced from the genes are joined to make final versions of the encoded protein, a process called alternative splicing.
«While gene duplication and alternative splicing are typically invoked as major mechanisms underpinning protein neofunctionalization, this study suggests that the process of co-option should be re-evaluated as a potentially important method by which genes can acquire novel functions.»
But parts of each of four exons in Dscam can become active separately, at different times — a process called alternative splicing.
Alternative splicing is a process of generating multiple transcripts and protein variants by joining different combinations of coding segments.
May 07, 2007 Hui Zhu, of the Eng lab, was featured in Today's Plain Dealer Newspaper in an article highlighting her interest in alternative splicing, a molecular process that allows a single gene to produce many different proteins.
Resveratrol, by modulating RNA processing factor levels, can influence the alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs.
Lue, whose essay described the regulation of alternative splicing and how defects in this process can cause disease, and Mueller, whose essay described examples of alternatively spliced proteins coded by the same gene with different functions that act in different cells, will each receive a $ 400 prize, and their science teachers, Dr. Martina Davies and Mrs. Jessica Graham respectively, will each receive a $ 400 grant for genetics materials.
Yang — whose essay described examples of alternative splicing, a process by which the same stretch of DNA and its complementary messenger RNA can be spliced together in different ways and thus be translated into different proteins — will receive a $ 1000 prize.
