Abstract

In metazoans, multiple RNA-binding proteins, including the shuttling serine/arginine-rich (SR)-splicing factors, function as adapters for mRNA nuclear export by interacting with the export receptor TAP/nuclear export factor 1 (NXF1). Yet, it is unclear how interactions between adapters and TAP are regulated. Here, we demonstrate that the SR proteins 9G8 and ASF/SF2 exhibit higher affinity for TAP/NXF1 when hypophosphorylated. 9G8 is recruited to the pre-mRNA in a hyperphosphorylated form but becomes hypophosphorylated during splicing both in vivo and in vitro . TAP preferentially binds spliced mRNA–protein complexes compared with pre-mRNA–protein complexes. Thus, the phosphorylation state of the SR protein adapters may underlie the selectivity of TAP-mediated export of spliced mRNA.
