Methods for Analyzing Alternative Splicing and Its Regulation in Plants: From Gene‐Specific Approaches to Transcriptome‐Wide Studies Precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing is a fundamental mechanism of gene regulation that influences both mRNA abundance and proteome diversity. In plants, alternative splicing plays a critical ...

The heat-responsive RDM16 pre-mRNA splicing factor properly regulates HSF mRNA splicing. RDM16 and its two alternatively spliced transcripts RDL and RDS form condensates upon heat exposure to enhance thermotolerance.

Fascinating work @naturecomms.bsky.social !

Activation and memory of the heatshock response is mediated by Prion-like domains of sensory HSFs in Arabidopsis Plants are able to sense and remember heat stress. An initial priming heat stress enables plants to acclimate so that they are able to survive a subsequent higher temperature. The heatshock transcription factors (HSFs) play a crucial role in this process, but the mechanisms by which plants sense heat stress are not well understood. By comprehensively analyzing the binding targets of all the HSFs, we find that HSFs act in a network, with upstream sensory acting in a transcriptional cascade to activate downstream HSFs and protective proteins.

Very insightful paper on HSFs by the group of @wigge.bsky.social - congratulations!
Looking forward to reading it in detail!
