Proteinsplicing is an intramolecular reaction of a particular protein in which an internal protein segment called an intein is removed from a precursor protein with a ligation of C terminal and N terminal external proteins called extein s on both sides. The splicing junction of the precursor protein is mainly a cysteine or a serine , which are amino acid s containing a nucleophilic side chain . The proteinsplicing reactions which are known now do not require exogenous cofactors or energy sources such as adenosine triphosphate ATP or guanosine triphosphate GTP . Normally, splicing is associated only with Splicing genetics pre mRNA splicing . Types of inteins The type of the splicing proteins is categorized into four classes maxi intein, mini intein, trans splicing intein, and alanine intein. The maxi inteins are N and C terminal splicing domains containing an endonuclease domain. The mini inteins are typical N and C terminal splicing domains however, the endonuclease domain is not present. The trans splicing inteins are split inteins which are divided into N termini and C termini. Alanine inteins have the splicing junction of an alanine instead of a cysteine or a serine, in both of which the proteinsplicing occurs. History Proteinsplicing was reported by two groups Anraku and Stevens in 1990. They both discovered a Saccharomyces cerevisiae VMA1 in a precursor of a vacuolar H sup sup ATPase . The amino acid sequence of the N and C termini corresponded to 70 of that of a vacuolar H sup sup ATPase from other organisms, while the amino acid sequence of the central position corresponded to 30 of that of the yeast HO nuclease External links http starokadomskyy.narod.ru work intein eng.html Short review http starokadomskyy.narod.ru Proteinsplicing eng.pdf Starokadomskyy PL.

Fusion splicing is the act of joining two optical fiber s end to end using heat. The goal is to fuse the two fibers together in such a way that light passing through the fibers is not scattering scattered or Reflection physics reflected back by the splice, and so that the splice and the region surrounding it are almost as strong as the virgin fiber itself. The source of heat is usually an electric arc , but can also be a laser, or a gas flame, or a Electrical filament tungsten filament through which electric current current is passed. The process of fusion splicing involves using localized heat to melt or fuse the ends of two optical fibers together. The splicing process begins by preparing each fiber end for fusion. Fusion splicing requires that all protective coatings be removed from the ends of each fiber, a process called stripping fiber stripping . The fiber is then Cleave fiber cleaved using the score and break method so that its endface is perfectly flat and perpendicular to the axis of the fiber. The quality of each fiber end is inspected using a microscope. In fusion splicing ... is strong enough to survive handling, packaging and extended use.

Trans splicing is a special form of Messenger RNA RNA processing in eukaryote s where exon s from two different primary RNA transcripts are joined end to end and Ligase ligated . In contrast normal splicing genetics cis splicing processes a single molecule. That is, trans splicing results in an RNA transcript that came from multiple RNA polymerases on the genome. This phenomenon can be exploited for molecular therapy to address mutated gene products.

An exonic splicing enhancer ESE is a DNA sequence motif consisting of 6 bases within an exon that directs, or enhances, accurate splicing genetics splicing of hetero nuclear RNA hnRNA or pre mRNA into messenger RNA mRNA . The Basics The central dogma of molecular biology states that all of the information that makes you unique is housed in the cell nucleus nucleus of every cell biology cell in your body in the form of DNA . The human DNA is a string of 3.2 billion base pairs . Short sequences of DNA are transcribed to RNA then this RNA is translated to a protein . A gene located in the DNA will contain introns and exons . Part of the process of preparing the RNA includes splicing genetics splicing out the introns, sections of RNA that do not code for protein. The presence of exonic splicing enhancers is essential for proper identification of splice sites by the cellular machinery. Research Computational methods were used to identify 238 candidate ESEs. ESEs are clinically significant because synonymous point mutations previously thought to be silent mutations located in an ESEs can lead to exon skipping and the production of a non functioning protein.

SR proteins are serine arginine rich protein s which are involved in regulating and selecting Splicing genetics splice sites in eukaryote eukaryotic mRNA . Alternative splicing requires SR proteins, which select the alternative splice sites to be utilized. SR proteins also play a role in constitutive splicing that is, with mRNAs that are always spliced the same way. SR proteins may work in an antagonistic fashion, competing with each other in binding to exonic splicing enhancers . Some evidence suggests that selection of the mRNA splicing variant depends upon the relative ratios of SR proteins. These proteins generally have two domains an RS domain , rich in Arginine Serine repeats and an RNA recognition motif RRM . The RS domain is subject to serine phosphorylation , which seems to control interactions with other proteins including other SR proteins . The RRM seems to recognize specific RNA sequences, typically located within exons . Other splicing factors may also contain an RS domain these are referred to as SR related proteins .

Confusing date January 2009 Unreferenced date July 2007 Fetal proteins are simply protein s present at highest levels at the fetus stage. Often related proteins assume similar roles after birth or in the embryo , in which case the fetal varieties are called fetal isoform s. Sometimes the gene s coding fetal isoforms occur adjacent to their adult homology biology homologues in the genome , and in those cases a locus control region often coordinates the transition from fetal to adult forms. In other cases fetal isoforms can be produced by alternate splicing using fetal exon s to produce proteins that differ in only a portion of their amino acid sequence. In some situations the reexpression or continuing expression of fetal forms can reveal the presence of a disease condition or serve as a treatment for diseases such as sickle cell anemia .

Refimprove date January 2009 A protein isoform is any of several different forms of the same protein . Different forms of a protein may be produced from related genes , or may arise from the same gene by alternative splicing . A large number of isoforms are caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs, small genetic differences between alleles of the same gene. These occur at specific individual nucleotide positions within a gene. The discovery of isoforms partly explains the apparently small number of coding regions genes revealed by the human genome project the ability to create categorically different proteins from the same gene increases the diversity of the proteome . Isoforms are readily described and discovered by microarray studies and cDNA libraries. Glycoforms A glycoform is an isoform of a protein that differs only with respect to the number or type of attached glycan . Glycoproteins often consist of a number of different glycoforms, with alterations in the attached saccharide or oligosaccharide . These modifications may result from differences in biosynthesis during the process of glycosylation , or due to the action of glycosidases or glycosyltransferases . Glycoforms may be detected through detailed chemical analysis of separated glycoforms, but more conveniently detected through differential reaction with lectins , as in lectin affinity chromatography and lectin affinity electrophoresis . Typical examples of glycoproteins consisting of glycoforms are the blood proteins as orosomucoid , antitrypsin , and haptoglobin .

Proteins might interact for a long time to form part of a protein complex , a protein may be carrying another protein for example, from cytoplasm to cell nucleus nucleus or vice versa in the case of the nuclear pore importins , or a protein may interact briefly with another protein just to modify it for example, a protein kinase will add a phosphate to a target protein .
