Clk/STY alternative splicing generates transcripts encoding a full-length kinase and a truncated catalyti-cally inactive protein. Here we showed that clk/STY, as well as other members of the family (e.g. clk2, clk3 and clk4),are up-regulated during HMBA-induced erythroleukemia cell differentiation. mRNAs coding for the full-length and thetruncated forms were responsible for the overall increased expression. In clk/STY, however, a switch was observed forthe ratio of the two alternative spliced products. In undifferentiated cells the full-length transcript was more abundantwhereas the transcript encoding for the truncated form predominated at latter stages of differentiation. Surprisingly,overexpression of clk/STY did not alter the splicing switch upon differentiation in MEL cells. These results suggest thatclk/STY might contribute to control erythroid differentiation by a mechanism that implicates a balance between thesetwo isoforms.展开更多
