Popis: Nuclear retention of pre-mRNAs is tightly regulated by several security mechanisms that prevent pre-mRNA export into the cytoplasm. Recently, spliceostatin A, a methylated derivative of a potent antitumor microbial metabolite FR901464, was found to cause pre-mRNA accumulation and translation in mammalian cells. Here we report that spliceostatin A also inhibits splicing and nuclear retention of pre-mRNA in a fission yeast strain that lacks the multidrug resistance protein Pmd1. As observed in mammalian cells, spliceostatin A is bound to components of the SF3b complex in the spliceosome. Furthermore, overexpression of nup211, a homolog of Saccharomyces cerevisiae MLP1, suppresses translation of pre-mRNAs accumulated by spliceostatin A. These results suggest that the SF3b complex has a conserved role in pre-mRNA retention, which is independent of the Mlp1 function.
