Alternative splicing (AS) coupled to nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) is a post-transcriptional
mechanism for regulating gene expression. We have used a high-resolution AS RT–PCR …

The eukaryotic nucleolus is involved in ribosome biogenesis and a wide range of other
RNA metabolism and cellular functions. An important step in the functional analysis of the …

Alternative splicing generates multiple transcript and protein isoforms from the same gene
and thus is important in gene expression regulation. To date, RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) is …

The nuclear cap-binding protein complex (CBC) participates in 5′ splice site selection of
introns that are proximal to the mRNA cap. However, it is not known whether CBC has a role in …

The eukaryotic nucleolus is multifunctional and involved in the metabolism and assembly of
many different RNAs and ribonucleoprotein particles as well as in cellular functions, such as …

Key message A broad-spectrum late blight disease-resistance gene from Solanum verrucosum
has been mapped to potato chromosome 9. The gene is distinct from previously identified…

Stable Isotope Labelling by Amino acids in Cell culture (SILAC) is a powerful technique for
comparative quantitative proteomics, which has recently been applied to a number of different …

In flowering plants, successful germinal cell development and meiotic recombination
depend upon a combination of environmental and genetic factors. To gain insights into this …

In this report we characterize two Arabidopsisthaliana proteins, named AtCBP20 and AtCBP80,
that are homologues of human subunits of a nuclear cap-binding protein complex (CBC). …

Factors affecting splicing of plant U12-dependent introns have been examined by extensive
mutational analyses in an in vivo tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) protoplast system using …
