Poly(A) RNA sequencing of Silencing Defective 2 (SDE2) depletion in HeLa cells via siRNA


ABSTRACT: Pre-mRNA splicing is a complex and dynamic process that relies on the intricate coordination between a multitude of cis-elements and trans-acting factors. Here, we identify and characterize Silencing Defective 2 (SDE2) as a human RNA binding protein and trans-acting splicing-associated factor required for efficient mRNA processing. In this study, we use Poly(A) purified RNA sequencing to identify the alternative splicing profile in Hela cells following depletion of SDE2 via siRNA. Our data demonstrate that SDE2 depletion causes widespread changes in alternative splicing (AS), with increased intron retention being the most common event. These retained introns are significantly shorter, have a higher GC content, and overall maintain weaker 5' and 3' splice sites than other introns throughout the genome. Following the depletion of SDE2, increased intron retention causes catastrophic consequences for the cell, including defects in mitotic progression, global loss of protein translation, and ultimately, complete loss of cellular viability. Taken together, we define SDE2 as a previously uncharacterized RNA binding protein that functions to regulate pre-mRNA splicing and ensure cellular viability.
