Mutant U2AF1-Induced Alternative Splicing of H2afy (macroH2A1) Regulates B-Lymphopoiesis in Mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Acquired spliceosome gene mutations are among the most common genetic alterations in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Here we present evidence that H2AFY(macroH2A1), a histone H2A variant, is a functional target that is alternatively spliced by mutant U2AF1(S34F), a spliceosome gene. Expression of H2AFY1.1, a H2AFY splice-isoform that is reduced by U2AF1(S34F) expression, rescues the reduction in B-cells observed in U2AF1(S34F) mice. Human MDS samples with U2AF1 mutations have a similar reduction in B-cells. Collectively, our data suggest that altered splicing of H2AFY contributes to MDS pathogenesis.
