Table 5. Alternative exons that encode protein domains.

Name Function Reference
AAK1 (AP2 associated kinase 1) Variant encodes clathrin-binding domain (Henderson and Conner, 2007)
CD55 (CD55 molecule, decay accelerating factor for complement (Cromer blood group)) Alternative splicing generates either a protein with a GPI anchor or with a transmembrane domain (Mizuno et al., 2007)
Cd80 (CD80 molecule) Mus musculus Exon encodes for IgV (immunoglobulin-like domains) and acts as a negative regulator (Bugeon et al., 2006)
dgk-1 (DiacylGlycerol Kinase) Caenorhabditis elegans Alternative splicing generates two new forms with the kinase domain and part of the PH (pleckstrin homology) domain (Jose and Koelle, 2005)
DYRK4 (dual-specificity tyrosine-(Y)-phosphorylation regulated kinase 4) Exon encodes nuclear localization domain (Papadopoulos et al., 2011)
ERBB2IP (erbb2 interacting protein) Variant lacks the SID (SMAD-interacting domain) and loses its ability to inhibit TGFβ (transforming growth factor beta) (Dai et al., 2007)
FGFR1 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 1) Exon encodes one immunoglobulin domain that increases cellular proliferation in high density cultures (Zhang et al., 2006)
matn1 (matrilin 1, cartilage matrix protein) Danio rerio Exon encodes a threonine/serine domain (Ko et al., 2005)
MUC1 (mucin 1, cell surface associated) Exons encode mucin domain (Levitin et al., 2005)
NOD2 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing 2) Alternative splicing produces a new variant that lacks a LRR (Leucine-rich repeat) domain (Leung et al., 2007)
RPGRIP1 (retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator interacting protein 1) Alternative stop codon deletes C2 and RID (Rho GTPase inactivation domain) (Lu and Ferreira, 2005)
Syne2 (spectrin repeat containing, nuclear envelope 2) Mus musculus Exon codes for an actin-binding domain. Its skipping causes thickening of epidermis (Luke et al., 2008)
TNFRSF13B (tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 13B) Exon encodes a CRD (cysteine-rich domain) (Hymowitz et al., 2005)
