Human DEAH-box helicase 8 regulates HSF1-mediated stress response and cancer-associated pre-mRNA splicing in tumour cells Abstract. Transcription factor heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) orchestrates the cellular stress response, promoting malignant transformation, unchecked prolifer

HSF1 drives cancer stress resilience but is hard to target—clever screen identifies spliceosome helicase DHX8 as a druggable regulator of HSF1 splicing→HSF1 program gone, cancer loses stress defenses. Editor's Choice in NAR Cancer. #PrecisionOncology #Spliceosome academic.oup.com/narcancer/ar...

Great talk by @delphinem-p.bsky.social from @geminiteamlab.bsky.social yesterday: “Hijacking the Plant #Spliceosome” on how alternative splicing drives #viral infection and #tomato fruit development 🍅

Thanks to our host @incavirus.bsky.social for organizing this insightful seminar! 👏

Mycobacterial PstP impairs host RNA alternative splicing by dephosphorylation of spliceosome RBMX at S189 During Mtb infection, the serine/threonine protein phosphatase PstP is secreted into host cells and directly dephosphorylate S189 on the spliceosomal RNA-binding motif protein RBMX. Dephosphorylated ...

Biologists discover a new type of control over RNA splicing RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut o...

How molecular motors start the spliceosome Scientists at the MPI-NAT in Göttingen and ICR in London have uncovered the step that switches on the spliceosome.

Scientists @mpi_nat & @ICR_London have uncovered the decisive step that switches on the #spliceosome – it is activated by two molecular motors. This could provide new approaches to improve potential #cancer drugs that target the splicing process. @Nature
