In contrast, FGF18 does not undergo alternative splicing.
Receptors 1 3 undergo alternative splicing to generate b- and c-isoforms with altered ligand specificities and affinities.
In Arabidopsis, only two genes (AtNCX5 and AtNCX6), whereas in rice, seven genes (OsNCX1, OsNCX2, OsNCX4, OsNCX5, OsNCX7, OsNCX9 and OsNCX14,) are reported to undergo alternative splicing.
According to the new EM law, local governments and interested parties (like bondholders, unions and pension funds) could undergo alternative dispute resolution for a maximum period of 90 days.
It is estimated that more than 60% of human genes undergo alternative splicing [1].
Two recent landmark reports estimate that 92% to 95% of all human primary transcripts can undergo alternative splicing [8], [9].
Most septin transcripts undergo alternative splicing and their splice variants are expressed differentially in various tissues [56], [57].
RT-PCR experiments show that these caspase genes indeed undergo alternative splicing in a pattern predicted to affect their functional activity.
Interestingly, a large number of apoptotic regulators undergo alternative splicing, suggesting that this is a crucial mechanism for survival and death decisions [24].
More importantly, caspase-2, 3, 8 and 9, all undergo alternative splicing in the exon encoding QACXG motif, the caspase active site.
Bioinformatic analyses suggest that alternative splicing is a significant component in generating diversity of function and predict that the majority of human genes undergo alternative splicing [57].
