The proteins and RNA regulatory elements that control tissue-specific pre-mRNA splicing in mammalian cells are mostly unknown. In this study, a set of proteins is identified that binds to a splicing regulatory element downstream of the neuron specific c-src N1 exon. This complex of proteins bound specifically to a short RNA containing the regulatory sequence in neuronal extracts that splice the N1 exon. It was not seen in non-neuronal cell extracts that fail to splice this exon. UV-cross-linking experiments identified a neuron-specific 75-kD protein and several nontissue-specific proteins, including the 53-kD heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein F (hnRNP F), as components of this complex. Although present in both extracts, hnRNP F binds tightly to the RNA only in the neuronal extracts. A mutation in the regulatory RNA sequence, that inhibits N1 splicing in vivo, abolished formation of the neuron-specific complex and the binding of the neuron-specific 75-kD protein. Competition experiments in the two extracts show that the binding of the neuronal protein complex to the src pre-mRNA is required to activate N1 exon splicing in vitro. Antibody inhibition experiments indicate that the hnRNP F protein is a functional part of this complex. The assembly of regulatory complexes from both constitutive and specific proteins is likely to be a general feature of tissue-specific splicing regulation.
