RNPS1 in PSAP complex controls periodic pre-mRNA splicing over the cell cycle.

ABSTRACT: Cell cycle progression requires periodic gene expression through splicing control. However, the splicing factor that directly controls this cell cycle-dependent splicing remains unknown. Cell cycle-dependent expression of the AURKB (aurora kinase B) gene is essential for chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. We previously reported that RNPS1 is essential to maintain precise splicing in AURKB intron 5. Here we show that RNPS1 plays this role in PSAP complex with PNN and SAP18, but not ASAP complex with ACIN1 and SAP18. Whole-transcriptome sequencing of RNPS1- and PNN-deficient cells indicated that RNPS1, either alone or as PSAP complex, is an essential splicing factor for a subset of introns. Remarkably, protein expression of RNPS1, but not PNN, is coordinated with cyclical
