Abstract excerpt
The alternatively spliced daf-2b transcript in Caenorhabditis elegans encodes a truncated isoform of the nematode insulin receptor that retains the extracellular ligand binding domain but lacks the intracellular signaling domain and is therefore unable to transduce a signal. To identify factors that influence expression of daf-2b, we performed a targeted RNA interference screen of rsp genes, which encode splicing...
