Hypothesis regarding the regulation of multiple AS events. (A) Model for cases of multiple RI events. The circles show the putative trans-acting factors. In this model, if the trans-acting factors, which recognize weak splicing signals (gray circles), are decreased, introns with the weak signals remain in the mRNA. (B) The AS model consisting of AD–ES–AA. The gray circles show putative trans-acting factors, which recognize weak splicing signals. If the concentration of the factors increases, several regions are recognized as introns and then the large region is spliced out as a single intron. It is not known if the trans- or cis-acting factors in the model are the same.
