Indeed we found that post-mortem samples have a higher entropy than pre-mortem samples (Fig. 7b), reflecting tighter, more controlled, usage of
splicing isoforms in the pre-mortem samples.
As a proxy for splicing alteration, we computed the Shannon's entropy on the relative abundance of a gene's alternative
splicing isoforms (Methods)-- higher values corresponding to more stochastic production of alternative isoforms.
In those cells the Esrp1 and Esrp2 proteins enforce epithelial - specific
splicing isoforms for hundreds of different genes, as Carstens and his team have shown in studies since 2009.
Carstens hopes that further study of Esrp1 and Esrp2, and in particular the proteins whose
splice isoforms they control, will uncover useful clues about how these defects arise and how they might be remedied.
Cytosolic
splice isoform of Hsp70 nucleotide exchange factor Fes1 is required for the degradation of misfolded proteins in yeast.
To investigate cellular response, we have the ability to measure mRNA levels,
splice isoforms, protein levels, and post-translation modifications.
We first characterized the entire mouse Boule genomic region and identified alternatively
spliced isoforms (Text S1 and Figure 3C).

splice variants of IL - 15Rα exist as both membrane - bound and soluble forms that can either inhibit or potentiate IL - 15 biological activity (29 — 33).

However, its extreme length (> 13kb), number of exons (> 50) and high level of alternative

isoform structure and expression is poorly understood, making it difficult to identify which gene
isoforms confer disease risk and where they are expressed.
The demand for

However, although many thousands of alternatively
spliced transcripts are routinely detected in RNA - seq studies, reliable large - scale mass spectrometry - based proteomics analyses identify only a small fraction of annotated alternative
isoforms.
Splicing profiles are particularly diverse in the brain, but it is difficult to accurately identify and quantify full - length
isoforms using standard approaches.
CCDC66 is evolutionarily conserved in different vertebrate species and exhibits a complex pattern of differential RNA
