title: Cellular stress response 1 down-regulates the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor and platelet-derived growth factor receptor through inactivation of splicing factor 3A3.
abstract: Cellular stress response 1 (CSR1) is a tumor suppressor gene that plays an important role in regulating cell death. In this report, we show that the N-terminus of CSR1 interacts with splicing factor 3A, subunit 3 (SF3A3). The SF3A3 binding motif was identified in the region of amino acids 62-91 of CSR1 through cell-free binding analyses. The interaction between CSR1 and SF3A3 led to migration of SF3A3 from nucleus to cytoplasm. The cytoplasmic redistribution of SF3A3 significantly reduced the splicing efficiency of epidermal growth factor receptor and platelet-derived growth factor receptor. Induction of CSR1 or down-regulation of SF3A3 also significantly reduced the splicing activity of oxytocin reporter gene both in vivo and in vitro. Mutant CSR1 that lacks the SF3A3 binding motif contained no RNA splicing regulatory activity, while the peptide corresponding to the SF3A3 binding motif in CSR1 interfered with the wild-type CSR1 mediated inhibition of RNA splicing. Interaction of CSR1 and SF3A3 is essential for CSR1 mediated cell death. To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating that RNA splicing is negatively regulated by redistribution of a splicing factor. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
