Alternative splicing is often associated with weak splice sites.
#Id: 6687
Binding of SR proteins to ESEs promotes or stabilizes U1 binding to the 5’ splice site and U2AF binding to the 3’ splice site.

The Nova and Fox families of RNA-binding proteins can promote or suppress splice site selection in a context-dependent fashion.

Trans-splicing is rare in multicellular eukaryotes, it occurs as the primary mechanism to process precursor RNA into mature, translatable mRNAs in some organisms, such as trypanosomes and nematodes.
