Abstrakt: The exon junction complex (EJC) deposited upstream of mRNA exon junctions shapes structure, composition, and fate of spliced mRNA ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs). To achieve this, the EJC core nucleates assembly of a dynamic shell of peripheral proteins that function in diverse post-transcriptional processes. To illuminate consequences of EJC composition change, we purified EJCs from human cells via peripheral proteins RNPS1 and CASC3. We show that the EJC originates as an SR-rich mega-dalton-sized RNP that contains RNPS1 but lacks CASC3. Sometime before or during translation, the EJC undergoes compositional and structural remodeling into an SR-devoid monomeric complex that contains CASC3. Surprisingly, RNPS1 is important for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) in general, whereas CASC3 is needed for NMD of only select mRNAs. The switch to CASC3-EJC slows down NMD. Overall, the EJC compositional switch dramatically alters mRNP structure and specifies two distinct phases of EJC-dependent NMD.
