RT-PCR examination of alternative splicing in smn-1(ok355) mutants. smn-1(ok355) increased the intron retention of the abt-5 gene (A) and the recognition of an alternative 3′ splice site of the flp-1 gene (B). (C) smn-1(ok355) and uaf-1(n4588) together can increase the intron retention of the gcy-11 gene. (D) smn-1(ok355) can strongly suppress the recognition of a cryptic 5′ splice site in uaf-1(n4588) mutants. Representative gel pictures, gene structures and splicing quantifications are shown from left to right, with genotypes indicated at the bottom. Red arrows: positions of PCR primers. Each dataset is the average of three biological replicates. Statistics: Bonferroni multiple comparison with one-way ANOVA. p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001. Error bars: standard errors.
