WT1 activates transcription of the splice factor kinase SRPK1 gene in PC3 and K562 cancer cells in the absence of corepressor BASP1 (2020)
Journal Article
Belali, T., Wodi, C., Clark, B., Cheung, M. K., Craig, T. J., Wheway, G., …Ladomery, M. (2020). WT1 activates transcription of the splice factor kinase SRPK1 gene in PC3 and K562 cancer cells in the absence of corepressor BASP1. BBA - Gene Regulatory Mechanisms, 1863(12), Article 194642. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbagrm.2020.194642

Dysregulated alternative splicing plays a prominent role in all hallmarks of cancer. The splice factor kinase SRPK1 drives the activity of oncogenic splice factors such as SRSF1. SRSF1 in turn promotes the expression of splice isoforms that favour tu...

Mutation spectrum of PRPF31, genotype-phenotype correlation in retinitis pigmentosa, and opportunities for therapy (2020)
Journal Article
Wheway, G., Douglas, A., Baralle, D., & Guillot, E. (2020). Mutation spectrum of PRPF31, genotype-phenotype correlation in retinitis pigmentosa, and opportunities for therapy. Experimental Eye Research, 192, Article 107950. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.exer.2020.107950

Pathogenic variants in pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing factor 31, PRPF31, are the second most common genetic cause of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) in most populations. This remains a completely untreatable and incurable form o... Read More about Mutation spectrum of PRPF31, genotype-phenotype correlation in retinitis pigmentosa, and opportunities for therapy.
