Transcription is common at active mammalian enhancers sometimes giving rise to stable and unidirectionally transcribed enhancer-associated long intergenic noncoding RNAs (elincRNAs). ElincRNA expression is associated with changes in neighboring gene product abundance and local chromosomal topology, suggesting that transcription at these loci contributes to gene expression regulation in cis. Despite the lack of evidence supporting sequence-dependent functions for most elincRNAs, splicing of these transcripts is unexpectedly common. Whether elincRNA splicing is a mere consequence of their cognate enhancer activity or if it directly impacts enhancer-associated cis-regulation remains unanswered.Here we show that elincRNAs are efficiently and rapidly spliced and that their processing rate is strongly associated with their cognate enhancer activity. Our results highlight an unexpected contribution of elincRNA splicing to enhancer function.
