The RNA-binding profile of Acinus, a peripheral component of the exon junction complex, reveals its role in splicing regulation

Abstract: Acinus (apoptotic chromatin condensation inducer in the nucleus) is an RNA-binding protein (RBP) originally identified for its role in apoptosis. It was later found to be an auxiliary component of the exon junction complex (EJC), which is deposited at exon junctions as a consequence of pre-mRNA splicing. To uncover the cellular functions of Acinus and investigate its role in splicing, we mapped its endogenous RNA targets using the cross-linking immunoprecipitation protocol (iCLIP). We observed that Acinus bind… Show more

“…2A). ACIN1 is a peripheral EJC component that has been shown to preferentially bind short, GC-rich introns with weak splice signals (Rodor et al 2016)-precisely the types of introns retained following NRDE2 depletion. It will be interesting to determine whether the intron specificity of NRDE2 is intrinsic or mediated by its protein partners.…”

“…Conserved cassette exon in human and mouse was retained by joining chromosome coordinates after converting mouse coordinates to human. The corresponding exon–exon junctions were then used as a library for Bowtie alignment of published RNA‐Seq sequences for HeLa cells in standard conditions (~ 160 M reads) . Splicing events with at least two reads aligned on both the skipped and inclusion isoforms and with a sum of at least 20 reads aligning on both isoforms were retained.…”

“…Exons were filtered for the absence of alternative 5 0 and 3 0 splice site, for the existence of unique 5 0 splice site for the preceding and 3 0 splice site for the following intron in all annotated transcripts, and finally for the exons being present in at least one and absent in at least one of the annotated transcripts as depicted in Appendix Fig S6. Conserved cassette exon in human and mouse was retained by joining chromosome coordinates after converting mouse coordinates to human. The corresponding exon-exon junctions were then used as a library for Bowtie alignment of published RNA-Seq sequences for HeLa cells in standard conditions (~160 M reads) [69]. Splicing events with at least two reads aligned on both the skipped and inclusion isoforms and with a sum of at least 20 reads aligning on both isoforms were retained.…”

“…We collected binding sites from 91 CLIP-Seq experiments for 68 different RBPs from multiple sources (34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40) and selected the available significant CLIP clusters from each experiment. For datasets with two replicates, we selected the intersecting regions of the significant CLIP clusters, i.e., the genomic ranges covered by both replicates.…”
