Aire-dependent transcripts escape Raver2-induced splice-event inclusion in the thymic epithelium.

Abstract excerpt

Aire allows medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) to express and present a large number of self-antigens for central tolerance. Although mTECs express a high diversity of self-antigen splice isoforms, the extent and regulation of alternative splicing events (ASEs) in their transcripts, notably in those induced by Aire, is unknown. In contrast to Aire-neutral genes, we find that transcripts of Aire-sensitive...
