Branch site haplotypes that control alternative splicing
20 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
We show that the allele-dependent expression of transcripts encoding soluble HLA-DQbeta chains is determined by branchpoint sequence (BPS) haplotypes in DQB1 intron 3. BPS RNAs associated with low inclusion of the transmembrane exon in mature transcripts showed impaired binding to splicing factor 1 (SF1), indicating that alternative splicing of DQB1 is controlled by differential BPS recognition early during...
