Light is a source of energy and also regulator plant physiological adaptations. We show here that light/dark conditions affect alternative splicing subset Arabidopsis genes preferentially encoding proteins involved in RNA processing. The effect requires functional chloroplasts observed roots when the communication with photosynthetic tissues not interrupted, suggesting signaling molecule travels through plant. Using electron transfer inhibitors different mechanisms action, we deduce reduced...

It has been assumed that constitutive and regulated splicing of RNA polymerase II transcripts depends exclusively on signals present in the molecule. Here we show changes promoter structure strongly affect splice site selection. We investigated ED I exon, which encodes a facultative type III repeat fibronectin, whose inclusion is during development proliferative processes. used an alternative assay combined with swapping to demonstrate extent dependent from transcript originated this...

In search for physiological pathways affecting alternative splicing through its kinetic coupling with transcription, we found that membrane depolarization of neuronal cells triggers the skipping exon 18 from neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) mRNA, independently calcium/calmodulin protein kinase IV pathway. We show this responds to RNA polymerase II elongation, because inclusion is increased by a slow mutant. Depolarization affects chromatin template in specific way, causing H3K9...

Promoter and enhancer elements can influence alternative splicing, but the basis for this phenomenon is not well understood. Here we investigated how different transcriptional activators affect decision between inclusion exclusion (skipping) of fibronectin EDI exon. A mutant acidic VP16 activation domain called SW6 that preferentially inhibits polymerase II (pol II) elongation caused a reduction in exon skipping. Exon skipping was fully restored presence by either SV40 cis or human...
