The majority of human genes undergo alternative splicing, which is frequently altered in response to physiological stimuli. DARPP-32 (dopamine and cAMP regulated phosphoprotein, 32kDa) is a component of PKA-dependent signaling pathways. Here we show that DARPP-32 binds directly to the splicing factor tra2-beta1 (transformer 2). DARPP-32 changes the usage of tra2-beta1 dependent alternative exons in a concentration-dependent manner, suggesting that the DARPP-32:tra2-beta1 interaction is a molecular link between signaling pathways and pre-mRNA processing.
大多数人类基因会经历可变剪接,这种剪接通常会因生理刺激而发生改变。DARPP-32(多巴胺和cAMP调节磷蛋白,32 kDa)是PKA依赖性信号通路的一个组成部分。在此我们表明,DARPP-32直接与剪接因子tra2-β1(转化蛋白2)结合。DARPP-32以浓度依赖的方式改变tra2-β1依赖性可变外显子的使用情况,这表明DARPP-32与tra2-β1的相互作用是信号通路与前体mRNA加工之间的分子联系。
