Functional implications of the emergence of alternative splicing in hnRNP A/B transcripts.

Abstract

The heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) A/B are a family of RNA-binding proteins that participate in various aspects of nucleic acid metabolism, including mRNA trafficking, telomere maintenance, and splicing. They are both regulators and targets of alternative splicing, and the patterns of alternative splicing of their transcripts have diverged between paralogs and between orthologs in different species. Surprisingly, the extent of this splicing variation and its implications for post-transcriptional regulation have remained largely unexplored. Here, we conducted a detailed analysis of hnRNP A/B sequences and expression patterns across six vertebrates. Alternative exons emerged via the introduction of new splice sites, changes in the strengths of existing splice sites, and the accumulation of auxiliary splicing regulatory motifs. Observed isoform expression patterns could be attributed to the frequency and strength of cis-elements. We found a trend toward increased splicing variation in mammals and identified novel alternatively spliced isoforms in human and chicken. Pulldown and translational assays demonstrated that the inclusion of alternative exons altered the affinity of hnRNP A/B proteins for their cognate n...Continue Reading
