Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. Sam68 Preferentially Represses Exons Characterized by a Weak Branchpoint 5368289352488500(A and B) Branchpoint score (A) and GC content (B) for up- and downregulated exons in Sam68KO cerebella with respect to non-regulated exons (Wilcoxon rank-sum test). (C) Distribution of the DPSI of exons differentially regulated between Sam68KO and WT cerebella. Whiskers indicate 1.5 interquartile range. Welch’s t test; ****p < 0.0001. (D and E) Left panels: scheme of the AS region of the Arhgef9 (D) and Arhgap12 (E) gene, with regulated (red) and constitutive exons (green) and qPCR primers (arrows) and the splicing events in WT and Sam68KO cerebella. Shown is RT-PCR analysis for Sam68-regulated events in Arhgef9 (D) and Arhgap12 (E) with PSI values from densitometric analysis (mean ± SEM, n = 6, paired t test). Right panels: bar graphs showing qPCR analyses of Sam68 CLIPs for Arhgef9 (D) and Arhgap12 (E) pre-mRNAs in P10 mouse cerebella. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) was used as a control (mean ± SEM, n = 5, two tailed paired t test, *p < 0.05). (F and G) qPCR analyses of U2AF65 CLIPs for Arhgef9 (F) and Arhgap12 (G) pre-mRNAs in WT and Sam68KO P10 cerebella (mean ± SEM, n = 5, multiple Student’s t test, *p < 0.05). (H) Western blot analysis of U2AF65 and Sam68 expression in WT and Sam68KO P10 mouse cerebella. See also Figure S5.
