SAM68 interaction with U1A modulates U1 snRNP recruitment and regulates mTor pre-mRNA splicing.
Nucleic Acids Research 2019 May 8
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.
