Abstract:Cells remodel splicing and translation machineries to mount specialized gene expression responses to stress. Here, we show that hypoxic human cells in 2D and 3D culture models increase the relative abundance of a longer mRNA variant of ribosomal protein S24 (RPS24L) compared to a shorter mRNA variant (RPS24S) by favoring the inclusion of a 22 bp cassette exon. Mechanistically, RPS24L and RPS24S are induced and repressed, respectively, by distinct pathways in hypoxia: RPS24L is induced in an autophagy‐dependent… Show more
