Function

[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.[1] [2] [3]

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.
