Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function U2AF2_HUMAN Necessary for the splicing of pre-mRNA. Induces cardiac troponin-T (TNNT2) pre-mRNA exon inclusion in muscle. Regulates the TNNT2 exon 5 inclusion through competition with MBNL1. Binds preferentially to a single-stranded structure within the polypyrimidine tract of TNNT2 intron 4 during spliceosome assembly. Required for the export of mRNA out of the nucleus, even if the mRNA is encoded by an intron-less gene. Represses the splicing of MAPT/Tau exon 10. Publication Abstract from PubMed The recognition of cis-regulatory RNA motifs in human transcripts by RNA binding proteins (RBPs) is essential for gene regulation. The molecular features that determine RBP specificity are often poorly understood. Here, we combined NMR structural biology with high-throughput iCLIP approaches to identify a regulatory mechanism for U2AF2 RNA recognition. We found that the intrinsically disordered linker region connecting the two RNA recognition motif (RRM) domains of U2AF2 mediates autoinhibitory intramolecular interactions to reduce nonproductive binding to weak Py-tract RNAs. This proofreading favors binding of U2AF2 at stronger Py-tracts, as required to define 3' splice sites at early stages of spliceosome assembly. Mutations that impair the linker autoinhibition enhance the affinity for weak Py-tracts result in promiscuous binding of U2AF2 along mRNAs and impact on splicing fidelity. Our findings highlight an important role of intrinsically disordered linkers to modulate RNA interactions of multidomain RBPs.
