RBM4 and PTB differentially modulate alternative splicing of a set of muscle-specific transcripts

Transcript AS exon1 Muscle isoform CU-rich motifs 
   Exon Intron 
RBM4 and PTB show the same effect; both promote the expression of muscle-specific isoforms. 
PTB e11 Skip 
nPTB e10 Skip 
MEF2c α1/α2 Include α2 + (α2) + (α2) 
MEF2c β Skip − 
RBM4 and PTB show the opposite effect; RBM4 promotes the expression of muscle-specific isoforms 
RBM4 skips; PTB includes

1AS exon, alternatively spliced exon.

2The CU-rich sequence is located between exons 6 and 7, but is not present in the exons.

3Data for the RT-PCR analysis are not shown in Fig. 6.

4sk, skeletal muscle cell.
