Tristetraprolin specifically regulates the expression and alternative splicing of immune response genes in HeLa cells
2019
Background
Tristetraprolin (TTP) is an RNA binding protein that plays a critical role in regulating proinflammatory immune responses by destabilizing target mRNAs via binding to their AU-rich elements (AREs) in the 3′-UTRs of mRNAs. A recent CLIP-seq study revealed that TTP-binding sites are enriched in the intronic regions of RNA. TTP is also a nuclear protein that exhibits putative DNA-binding activity. These features suggested that TTP might regulate gene transcription and/or alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs in the absence of stimulation.
