Project description:We identified PRP4 kinase-A (PRP4ka) in a forward genetic screen based on an alternatively-spliced GFP reporter gene in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis). Prp4 kinase, which was the first spliceosome-associated kinase shown to regulate splicing in fungi and mammals, has not yet been studied in plants. Analysis of RNA-seq data from the prp4ka mutant revealed widespread perturbations in alternative splicing. A quantitative iTRAQ-based phosphoproteomics investigation of the mutant identified phosphorylation changes in several serine/arginine-rich proteins, which regulate constitutive and alternative splicing, as well as other splicing-related factors. The results demonstrate the importance of PRP4ka in alternative splicing and suggest that PRP4ka may influence alternative splicing patterns by phosphorylating a subset of splicing regulators.
Project description:Arabidopsis thaliana mutant sr45-1 has an altered flower shape. sr45 is a splicing regulator. In this study, we examined the proteins from inflorescence of sr45-1 mutant plants and wild-type. Wild type TMT labels: 126, 128, 130. sr45-1 TMT labels: 127, 129, 131.
Project description:We analyze the effect of a double deletion mutant for alternative-splicing regulators nsra and nsrb (Nuclear Speckle RNA binding proteins), on the Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome.
