Getting to the heart of a splicing enhancer

Getting to the heart of a splicing enhancer

Daniel Bilbao et al. Nat Struct Biol. 2003 Jan.

Abstract

Dinucleotide CA repeats of variable length in an intron of the human endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene act as regulatory signals for splicing of the gene's pre-mRNA. Repeat length-dependent binding of hnRNP L to the repeats provides an intriguing link between splicing efficiency, nitric oxide synthesis and cardiovascular disease.
