U2AF1 mutations alter splice site recognition in hematological malignancies

Abstract: Whole-exome sequencing studies have identified common mutations affecting genes encoding components of the RNA splicing machinery in hematological malignancies. Here, we sought to determine how mutations affecting the 39 splice site recognition factor U2AF1 alter its normal role in RNA splicing. We find that U2AF1 mutations influence the similarity of splicing programs in leukemias, but do not give rise to widespread splicing failure. U2AF1 mutations cause differential splicing of hundreds of genes, affecting … Show more

“…We observed, by hierarchical clustering analysis, that all mutations in SRSF2 and U2AF35 induced large-scale changes in alternative splicing upon Dox induction (Figure 1E). Remarkably, even two separate mutant alleles in U2AF35 invoked completely different sets of splicing changes, as reported earlier (Ilagan et al, 2015). We further confirmed these data on a subset of genes by RT-PCR (Figures S2A–S2C).…”

“…Taking advantage of all mutations in the same cellular background, we first revisited an important problem with respect to diverse splicing responses induced by different splicing factor mutations (Ilagan et al, 2015; Qiu et al, 2016). We extracted total RNA from individual cell lines and used highly quantitative RNA annealing selection ligation followed by deep sequencing (RASL-seq), which we developed in the lab, to measure a large number (>5,000) of annotated alternative splicing events in humans (Li et al, 2012).…”

“…U2AF1 , like SF3B1 , is associated with the U2 complex, and it is known to recognize the 3′ dinucleotide AG; and, along with its partner U2AF2 that binds to the 3′ poly-Y tract, it promotes assembly of the pre-catalytic spliceosome (Wu et al, 1999). Hotspot mutations at amino acid positions p.S34 and p.Q157 are common in hematological malignancies (Papaemmanuil et al, 2013; Lindsley et al, 2015) and confer distinct splicing phenotypes (Ilagan et al, 2015), affecting exon inclusion rates based on the nucleotide in the −1 and +1 position relative to the 3′ AG dinucleotide, respectively. In TCGA, p.S34F/Y is the dominant hotspot mutation and is observed in multiple tumor types, most notably LAML, LUAD, and UCEC (Figure 3A; Table S2).…”

“…3b). Interestingly, the molecular consequences of U2AF1 mutations are allele-specific 88 . S34 and Q157 mutations respectively affect recognition of the −3 (pyrimidine normally preferred) and +1 (purine normally preferred) positions, where the coordinates are defined with respect to the intron-exon boundary to induce different changes in 3′ splice site recognition.…”
