This study reveals a widespread splicing quality control function for DHX15 in human cells and identifies SUGP1 as a factor that activates DHX15's splicing QC function.
Pre-mRNA splicing is surveilled at different stages by quality control (QC) mechanisms. The leukemia associated DExH-box family helicase hDHX15/scPrp43 is known to disassemble spliceosomes after splicing. Here, using rapid protein depletion and analysis of nascent and mature RNA to enrich for direct effects, we identify a widespread splicing QC function for DHX15 in human cells, consistent with recent in vitro studies. We find that suboptimal introns with weak splice sites, multiple branch points, and cryptic introns are repressed by DHX15, suggesting a general role in promoting splicing fidelity. We identify SUGP1 as a G-patch factor that activates DHX15's splicing QC function. This interaction is dependent on both DHX15's ATPase activity and on SUGP1's U2AF ligand motif (ULM) domain. Together, our results support a model in which DHX15 plays a major role in splicing QC when recruited and activated by SUGP1.
