1 We have previously reported that PTB binds to a pyrimidine tract within an RNA processing enhancer located adjacent to an alternative 3"-terminal exon within the gene coding for calcitonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide. pyrimidine polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
2 Here we show that the binding of PTB to the enhancer pyrimidine tract is functional in that exon inclusion increases when in vivo levels of PTB increase. pyrimidine polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
3 Here we show that the binding of PTB to the enhancer pyrimidine tract is functional in that exon inclusion increases when in vivo levels of PTB increase. pyrimidine polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
4 The binding of PTB was antagonistic to the binding of U2AF to the enhancer-located pyrimidine tract. pyrimidine polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
5 These observations suggest a dual role for PTB in facilitating recognition of exon 4: binding to the enhancer pyrimidine tract to interrupt productive recognition of the enhancer pseudoexon by splicing factors and interacting with the poly(A) site to positively affect polyadenylation. pyrimidine polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 Homo sapiens
