TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: A structured RNA in hepatitis B virus post-transcriptional regulatory element represses alternative splicing in a sequence-independent and position-dependent manner

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) transcripts are subjected to multiple splicing deci-sions, but the mechanism of splicing regulation remains poorly understood. In this study, we used a well-investigated alternative splicing reporter to dissect splicing regulatory elements residing in the post-transcriptional reg-ulatory element (PRE) of HBV. | BFEBS Journal A structured RNA in hepatitis B virus post-transcriptional regulatory element represses alternative splicing in a sequence-independent and position-dependent manner Chen Huang1 2 Mao-Hua Xie1 Wei Liu1 Bo Yang1 Fan Yang1 Jingang Huang1 Jie Huang1 Qijia Wu1 Xiang-Dong Fu1 3 and Yi Zhang1 2 1 State Key Laboratory of Virology College of Life Sciences Wuhan University Hubei China 2 Center for Genome Analysis ABLife Inc.

In this study we used a well-investigated alternative splicing reporter to dissect splicing regulatory elements residing in the post-transcriptional regulatory element PRE of HBV. A strong intronic splicing silencer ISS with a minimal functional element of 105 nucleotides referred to as PRE-ISS was identified and interestingly both the sense and antisense strands of the element were found to strongly suppress alternative splicing in multiple human cell lines. PRE-ISS folds into a double-hairpin structure in which substitution mutations disrupting the double-hairpin structure abolish the splicing silencer activity. Although it harbors two previously identified binding sites for polypyrimidine tract binding protein PRE-ISS represses splicing independent of this protein. The silencing function of PRE-ISS exhibited a strong position dependence .
