Figure 4. hrpf-1 alternative splicing.

Figure 4

(A) Gene model for AS of hrpf-1, two isoforms (a and b) are generated by either inclusion or skipping of exon 5; (B) Virtual gel of RT-PCR of hrpf-1 during C. elegans development as demonstrated on a Bioanalyzer (Agilent). The percentage of hrpf-1 messages that are spliced to include exon 5 are plotted; (C) RT-PCR of the hrpf-1 mRNA from total embryonic RNA from NMD defective worms (smg-1(r861)) compared to wild type embryo RNA. This experiment demonstrates that hrpf-1b is degraded by NMD; (D) regulation of alternative splicing of the C. briggsae hrpf-1 homolog (CBG04052) during development.
