A novel SR-related protein is required for the second step of Pre-mRNA splicing

The SR family proteins and SR-related polypeptides are important regulators of pre-mRNA splicing. A novel SR-related protein of an apparent molecular mass of 53 kDa was isolated in a gene trap screen that identifies proteins which localize to the nuclear speckles. This novel protein possesses an arginine- and serine-rich domain and was termed SRrp53 (for SR-related protein of 53 kDa). In support for a role of this novel RS-containing protein in pre-mRNA splicing, we identified the mouse ortholog of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae U1 snRNP-specific protein Luc7p and the U2AF65-related factor HCC1 as interacting proteins. In addition, SRrp53 is able to interact with some members of the SR family of proteins and with U2AF35 in a yeast two-hybrid system and in cell extracts. We show that in HeLa nuclear extracts immunodepleted of SRrp53, the second step of pre-mRNA splicing is blocked, and recombinant SRrp53 is able to restore splicing activity. SRrp53 also regulates alternative splicing in a concentration-dependent manner. Taken together, these results suggest that SRrp53 is a novel SR-related protein that has a role both in constitutive and in alternative splicing.

Specificity of Na+ binding to phosphatidylserine vesicles from A 23Na NMR relaxation rate study

²³Na NMR relaxation rate measurements show that Na⁺ binds specificially to phosphatidylserine vesicles and is displaced partially from the binding site by K⁺ and Ca²⁺ but to a considerably less extent by tetraethylammonium ion. The data indicate that tetraethylammonium ion affects the binding of Na⁺ only slightly, by affecting the surface potential through its presence in the double layer, without competing for a phosphatidylserine binding site. Values for the intrinsic binding constant for the Na⁺-phosphatidylserine complex that would be consistent with the competition experiments (and the dependence of the relaxation rate on concentration of free Na⁺) fall in the range 0.4–1.2 M^?1 with a better fit towards the higher values. We conclude that in the absence of competing cations in solution an appreciable fraction of the phosphatidylserine sites could be associated with bound Na⁺ at 0.1 M Na⁺ concentration.
