Function
[U2AF2_HUMAN] Necessary for the splicing of pre-mRNA. Induces cardiac troponin-T (TNNT2) pre-mRNA exon inclusion in muscle. Regulates the TNNT2 exon 5 inclusion through competition with MBNL1. Binds preferentially to a single-stranded structure within the polypyrimidine tract of TNNT2 intron 4 during spliceosome assembly. Required for the export of mRNA out of the nucleus, even if the mRNA is encoded by an intron-less gene. Represses the splicing of MAPT/Tau exon 10.[1] [2] [3] [SF01_HUMAN] Necessary for the ATP-dependent first step of spliceosome assembly. Binds to the intron branch point sequence (BPS) 5'-UACUAAC-3' of the pre-mRNA. May act as transcription repressor.[4] [5] [6]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The essential splicing factors U2AF(65) and SF1 cooperatively bind consensus sequences at the 3' end of introns. Phosphorylation of SF1 on a highly conserved "SPSP" motif enhances its interaction with U2AF(65) and the pre-mRNA. Here, we reveal that phosphorylation induces essential conformational changes in SF1 and in the SF1/U2AF(65)/3' splice site complex. Crystal structures of the phosphorylated (P)SF1 domain bound to the C-terminal domain of U2AF(65) at 2.29 A resolution and of the unphosphorylated SF1 domain at 2.48 A resolution demonstrate that phosphorylation induces a disorder-to-order transition within a previously unknown SF1/U2AF(65) interface. We find by small-angle X-ray scattering that the local folding of the SPSP motif transduces into global conformational changes in the nearly full-length (P)SF1/U2AF(65)/3' splice site assembly. We further determine that SPSP phosphorylation and the SF1/U2AF(65) interface are essential in vivo. These results offer a structural prototype for phosphorylation-dependent control of pre-mRNA splicing factors.
