Alternative pre-mRNA splicing remarkably expands protein diversity in eukaryotes. Drosophila PGRP-LC can generate three major 3' splice isoforms that exhibit distinct innate immune recognition and defenses against various microbial infections. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying the uniquely biased splicing pattern at the 3' variable region remain unclear. Here we show that competing RNA pairings control the unique splicing of the 3' variable region of Drosophila PGRP-LC pre-mRNA. We reveal three roles by which these RNA pairings jointly regulate the 3' variant selection through activating the proximal 3' splice site and concurrently masking the intron-proximal 5' splice site, in combination with physical competition of RNA pairing. We also reveal that competing RNA pairings regulate alternative splicing of the highly complex 3' variable regions of Drosophila CG42235 and Pip. Our findings will facilitate a better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of highly complex alternative splicing as well as highly variable 3' processing.
