Abstract
During the analysis of the in vitro alternative splicing of the natural E1A transcript of adenovirus, other minor reactions were detected (Schmitt et al., 1987, Cell 50, 31-39). We report here their characterization. The first reaction concerns the excision of a 216 nucleotide intron delineated by the 9S 5' splice site and a 3' splice site 216 nucleotides downstream. It can occur on the premRNA transcript and the 13S and 12S mRNA species. Strikingly, the reaction uses one of 3 branch points located 51, 55 or 59 residues upstream of the 3' splice site, a distance which is unusually long since all the branch points mapped up to now are located between 18-37 nucleotides of the 3' splice site. The dramatic accumulation of the corresponding lariat intermediates, likely related to this long spacing indicates that the second splicing step is relatively unefficient. The second kind of reaction analysed is a cryptic splicing which uses a 3' splice site generated by the junction of the 13S mRNA exons, and leads to the formation of psi 12S and psi 9S mRNAs. In vitro, this reaction occurs only from a 13S mRNA transcript, and not from the 13S mRNA newly formed in the splicing assay, consistent with what has been observed in vivo. Thus, both the well known alternative and the minor reactions occurring in vivo from E1A premRNA and mRNAs are detected in vitro, implying that most of the alternative splicing machinery is reconstituted in the in vitro system.
