  • Title: Consequences of regulated pre-mRNA splicing in the immune system.
    Author: Lynch KW.
    Journal: Nat Rev Immunol; 2004 Dec; 4(12):931-40. PubMed ID: 15573128.
    Abstract:
    Alternative splicing is widely recognized to be a ubiquitous and crucial mechanism for generating protein diversity and regulating protein expression. Numerous immunologically relevant genes have been found to undergo alternative splicing; however, there has been little effort to develop a coherent picture of how alternative splicing might be used as a general mechanism to regulate the function of the immune system. In this review, I summarize the mechanisms by which splicing is controlled in T cells, and discuss the role of alternative splicing and alternative isoform expression in the regulation of T-cell activation and function.
