The multicomponent exon junction complex (EJC) is deposited on the spliced mRNA during pre-mRNA splicing and is implicated in several post-splicing events, including mRNA export, nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and translation control. This report is the first to identify potential post-translational modifications of the EJC core component Y14. We demonstrate that Y14 is phosphorylated at its repeated arginine/serine (RS) dipeptides, likely by SR protein-specific kinases. Phosphorylation of Y14 abolished its interaction with EJC components as well as factors that function downstream of the EJC. A non-phosphorylatable Y14 mutant was equivalent to the wild-type protein with respect to its association with spliced mRNA and its ability in NMD activation, but the mutant sequestered EJC and NMD factors on ribosome-containing mRNA ribonucleoproteins (mRNPs). We therefore hypothesize that phosphorylation of Y14 occurs upon completion of mRNA surveillance, leading to dissociation of Y14 from ribosome-containing mRNPs. Moreover, we found that Y14 is possibly methylated at multiple arginine residues in the carboxyl-terminal domain and that methylation of Y14 was antagonized by phosphorylation of RS dipeptides. This study reveals antagonistic post-translational modifications of Y14 that may be involved in the remodeling of Y14-containing mRNPs.
