Tuftelin-interacting protein (TFIP11) was first identified in a yeast two-hybrid screening as a protein interacting with tuftelin. The ubiquitous expression of TFIP11 suggested that it might have other functions in non-dental tissues. TFIP11 contains a G-patch, a protein domain believed to be involved in RNA binding. Using a green fluorescence protein tag, TFIP11 was found to locate in a novel subnuclear structure that we refer to as the TFIP body. An in vivo splicing assay demonstrated that TFIP11 is a novel splicing factor. TFIP11 diffuses from the TFIP body following RNase A treatment, suggesting that the retention of TFIP11 is RNA dependent. RNA polymerase II inhibitor (-amanitin and actinomycin D) treatment causes enlargement in size and decrease in number of TFIP bodies, suggesting that TFIP bodies perform a storage function rather than an active splicing function. The TFIP body may therefore represent a new subnuclear storage compartment for splicing components.
