RNA Polymerase II Elongation at the Crossroads of Transcription and Alternative Splicing

Figure 1

Promoters affect alternative splicing. α-globin/FN hybrid minigenes under the control of different promoters, used in transient transfections of mammalian cells in culture to assess inclusion levels of the alternatively spliced E33 (EDI or EDA) cassette exon (dark yellow). Inclusion level with the FN promoter is >10-fold higher when compared to the α-globin promoter.
