title: Stressful splicing.
abstract: A novel study in a recent issue of Molecular Cell (Shi and Manley, 2007) provides insight into a complex signaling pathway that controls the phosphorylation status of an SR-related protein that functions as a splicing repressor following heat shock-dependent dephosphorylation.
