Abstract
Somatic inhibition restricts splicing of the Drosophila P-element third intron (IVS3) to the germ line. We have exploited this simple system to provide a model for a mechanism of alternative pre-mRNA splicing. Biochemical complementation experiments revealed that Drosophila somatic extracts inhibited U1 snRNP binding to the 5' splice site. Using sensitive RNase protection and modification-interference assays, we found that U1 snRNP bound to a pseudo-5' splice site in the 5' exon and that multiprotein complexes bound to an adjacent site. Binding of these factors appeared to mediate the inhibitory effect, because mutations in the pseudo-5' splice sites blocked binding and activated splicing in vitro. Likewise, wild-type, but not mutant, 5' exon RNA titrated inhibitory factors away from the pre-mRNA and activated splicing. Thus, we have defined the pseudo-5' splice sites as crucial components of the regulatory element, correlated the inhibitory activity with specific RNA binding factors from Drosophila somatic cells, and provided a mechanistic description of somatic inhibition. Because the inhibitory activity involves general splicing functions such as protein recognition of 5' splice site sequences and changes in the distribution of bound U1 snRNP, our data may also provide insights into how splice sites are selected.
