Neural Isoforms of Agrin Are Generated by Reduced PTBP1−RNA Interaction Network Spanning the Neuron−Specific Splicing Regions in AGRN

Abstract : Agrin is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan essential for the clustering of acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction. Neuron−specific isoforms of agrin are generated by alternative inclusion of three exons, called Y, Z8, and Z11 exons, although their processing mechanisms remain elusive. We found, by inspection of splicing cis−elements into the human AGRN gene, that binding sites for polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 (PTBP1) were extensively enriched around Y and Z exons.
