Regulation of alternative splicing by retrograde and light signals converges to control chloroplast proteins.

ABSTRACT: Retrograde signals sent by chloroplasts control transcription in the nucleus. These signals antagonistically converge with light signals to coordinate the expression of genes involved in chloroplast functioning and seedling development. Although significant advances have been made in understanding the molecular interplay between light and retrograde signals at the transcriptional level, little is known about their interconnection at the post-transcriptional level. By using different publicly available datasets, this study addresses the influence of retrograde signaling on alternative splicing and defines the molecular and biological functions of this regulation. These analyses revealed that alternative splicing mimics transcriptional responses triggered by retrograde signals at different l
