Abstract:

To investigate the effect of variation of acceptor splicing site on splicing pattern and efficiency, the inbred line “He2” of Chinese cabbage was re-sequenced, and the result indicated that acceptor splicing site of the sixth intron (I6) of BrSPS1Fb-He2 was changed from AG to AC. Through analysis of BrSPS1Fb-He2 read data from transcriptome sequencing library of petals of the “He2” inbred line, it was found that alternative splicing occurred during pre-mRNA processing of BrSPS1Fb-He2. Three sites (A1, A2 and A3) of BrSPS1Fb-He2 could be selected as splicing acceptor during pre-mRNA splicing, resulting correspondingly in the three spliced isoforms (S1, S2 and S3), or the entire I6 was retained to form S4 spliced isoform. Partial I6 was retained in mature mRNA of S1 and S2, the whole I6 in S4, partial E7 was deleted in S3. This study indicated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) variation of acceptor splicing site had a significant impact on post transcriptional splicing of BrSPS1Fb.
