Exon-independent recruitment of SRSF1 is mediated by U1 snRNP stem-loop 3.

ABSTRACT: SRSF1 protein and U1 snRNPs are closely connected splicing factors. They both stimulate exon inclusion, SRSF1 by binding to exonic splicing enhancer sequences (ESEs) and U1 snRNPs by binding to the downstream 5' splice site (SS), and both factors affect 5' SS selection. The binding of U1 snRNPs initiates spliceosome assembly, but SR proteins such as SRSF1 can in some cases substitute for it. The mechanistic basis of this relationship is poorly understood. We show here by single-molecule methods that a single molecule of SRSF1 can be recruited by a U1 snRNP. This reaction is independent of exon sequences and separate from the U1-independent process of binding to an ESE. Structural analysis and cross-linking data show that SRSF1 contacts U1 snRNA stem-loop 3, which is required for splicing. We suggest that the recruitment of SRSF1 to a U1 snRNP at a 5'SS is the basis for exon definition by U1 snRNP and might be one of the principal functions of U1 snRNPs in the core reactions of splicing in mammals.

RBFOX2 promotes protein 4.1R exon 16 selection via U1 snRNP recruitment.

Project description:The erythroid differentiation-specific splicing switch of protein 4.1R exon 16, which encodes a spectrin/actin-binding peptide critical for erythrocyte membrane stability, is modulated by the differentiation-induced splicing factor RBFOX2. We have now characterized the mechanism by which RBFOX2 regulates exon 16 splicing through the downstream intronic element UGCAUG. Exon 16 possesses a weak 5' splice site (GAG/GTTTGT), which when strengthened to a consensus sequence (GAG/GTAAGT) leads to near-total exon 16 inclusion. Impaired RBFOX2 binding reduces exon 16 inclusion in the context of the native weak 5' splice site, but not the engineered strong 5' splice site, implying that RBFOX2 achieves its effect by promoting utilization of the weak 5' splice site. We further demonstrate that RBFOX2 increases U1 snRNP recruitment to the weak 5' splice site through direct interaction between its C-terminal domain (CTD) and the zinc finger region of U1C and that the CTD is required for the effect of RBFOX2 on exon 16 splicing. Our data suggest a novel mechanism for exon 16 5' splice site activation in which the binding of RBFOX2 to downstream intronic splicing enhancers stabilizes the pre-mRNA-U1 snRNP complex through interactions with U1C.

SAM68 interaction with U1A modulates U1 snRNP recruitment and regulates mTor pre-mRNA splicing.

Project description:Src associated in mitosis (SAM68) plays major roles in regulating RNA processing events, such as alternative splicing and mRNA translation, implicated in several developmental processes. It was previously shown that SAM68 regulates the alternative splicing of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTor), but the mechanism regulating this process remains elusive. Here, we report that SAM68 interacts with U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (U1 snRNP) to promote splicing at the 5' splice site in intron 5 of mTor. We also show that this direct interaction is mediated through U1A, a core-component of U1snRNP. SAM68 was found to bind the RRM1 domain of U1A through its C-terminal tyrosine rich region (YY domain). Deletion of the U1A-SAM68 interaction domain or mutation in SAM68-binding sites in intron 5 of mTor abrogates U1A recruitment and 5' splice site recognition by the U1 snRNP, leading to premature intron 5 termination and polyadenylation. Taken together, our results provide the first mechanistic study by which SAM68 modulates alternative splicing decision, by affecting U1 snRNP recruitment at 5' splice sites.

Stem-loop 4 of U1 snRNA is essential for splicing and interacts with the U2 snRNP-specific SF3A1 protein during spliceosome assembly.

Project description:The pairing of 5' and 3' splice sites across an intron is a critical step in spliceosome formation and its regulation. Interactions that bring the two splice sites together during spliceosome assembly must occur with a high degree of specificity and fidelity to allow expression of functional mRNAs and make particular alternative splicing choices. Here, we report a new interaction between stem-loop 4 (SL4) of the U1 snRNA, which recognizes the 5' splice site, and a component of the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (snRNP) complex, which assembles across the intron at the 3' splice site. Using a U1 snRNP complementation assay, we found that SL4 is essential for splicing in vivo. The addition of free U1-SL4 to a splicing reaction in vitro inhibits splicing and blocks complex assembly prior to formation of the prespliceosomal A complex, indicating a requirement for a SL4 contact in spliceosome assembly. To characterize the interactions of this RNA structure, we used a combination of stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC), biotin/Neutravidin affinity pull-down, and mass spectrometry. We show that U1-SL4 interacts with the SF3A1 protein of the U2 snRNP. We found that this interaction between the U1 snRNA and SF3A1 occurs within prespliceosomal complexes assembled on the pre-mRNA. Thus, SL4 of the U1 snRNA is important for splicing, and its interaction with SF3A1 mediates contact between the 5' and 3' splice site complexes within the assembling spliceosome.

A complex immunodeficiency is based on U1 snRNP-mediated poly(A) site suppression.

Project description:Biallelic mutations in the untranslated regions (UTRs) of mRNAs are rare causes for monogenetic diseases whose mechanisms remain poorly understood. We investigated a 3'UTR mutation resulting in a complex immunodeficiency syndrome caused by decreased mRNA levels of p14/robld3 by a previously unknown mechanism. Here, we show that the mutation creates a functional 5' splice site (SS) and that its recognition by the spliceosomal component U1 snRNP causes p14 mRNA suppression in the absence of splicing. Histone processing signals are able to rescue p14 expression. Therefore, the mutation interferes only with canonical poly(A)-site 3' end processing. Our data suggest that U1 snRNP inhibits cleavage or poly(A) site recognition. This is the first description of a 3'UTR mutation that creates a functional 5'SS causative of a monogenetic disease. Moreover, our data endorse the recently described role of U1 snRNP in suppression of intronic poly(A) sites, which is here deleterious for p14 mRNA biogenesis.

Efficient transcription through an intron requires the binding of an Sm-type U1 snRNP with intact stem loop II to the splice donor.

Project description:The mechanism behind the positive action of introns upon transcription and the biological significance of this positive feedback remains unclear. Functional ablation of splice sites within an HIV-derived env cDNA significantly reduced transcription that was rescued by a U1 snRNA modified to bind to the mutated splice donor (SD). Using this model we further characterized both the U1 and pre-mRNA structural requirements for transcriptional enhancement. U1 snRNA rescued as a mature Sm-type snRNP with an intact stem loop II. Position and sequence context for U1-binding is crucial because a promoter proximal intron placed upstream of the mutated SD failed to rescue transcription. Furthermore, U1-rescue was independent of promoter and exon sequence and is partially replaced by the transcription elongation activator Tat, pointing to an intron-localized block in transcriptional elongation. Thus, transcriptional coupling of U1 snRNA binding to the SD may licence the polymerase for transcription through the intron.

Isoforms of U1-70k control subunit dynamics in the human spliceosomal U1 snRNP.

Project description:Most human protein-encoding genes contain multiple exons that are spliced together, frequently in alternative arrangements, by the spliceosome. It is established that U1 snRNP is an essential component of the spliceosome, in human consisting of RNA and ten proteins, several of which are post-translationally modified and exist as multiple isoforms. Unresolved and challenging to investigate are the effects of these post translational modifications on the dynamics, interactions and stability of the particle. Using mass spectrometry we investigate the composition and dynamics of the native human U1 snRNP and compare native and recombinant complexes to isolate the effects of various subunits and isoforms on the overall stability. Our data reveal differential incorporation of four protein isoforms and dynamic interactions of subunits U1-A, U1-C and Sm-B/B'. Results also show that unstructured post-translationally modified C-terminal tails are responsible for the dynamics of Sm-B/B' and U1-C and that their interactions with the Sm core are controlled by binding to different U1-70k isoforms and their phosphorylation status in vivo. These results therefore provide the important functional link between proteomics and structure as well as insight into the dynamic quaternary structure of the native U1 snRNP important for its function.

Sequence specific recognition of U1 snRNP stem-loop 4 by the ubiquitin-like domain of U2 snRNP protein SF3A1 and its RGG motif

Project description:Cross-linking of isotope-labelled RNA coupled with mass spectrometry (CLIR-MS) was used to study the interaction between the ubiquitin-like domain (UBL) of the protein SF3A1, a component of the U2 snRNP, with stem-loop 4 RNA (SL4) from the U1 snRNP. The complex was cross-linked and analysed both in isolation, and in broader context with components of the U1 snRNP. Cross-linking was performed using irradiation under 254 nm light, relying on the inherent reactivity of ribonucleotides.
