Among the three DMTF1 splicing isoforms, DMTF1α acts as a tumour suppressor through promoting p14ARF expression, while DMTF1β exhibits an oncogenic role likely through antagonizing DMTF1α. However, the molecular mechanism underlying alternative splicing of DMTF1 pre-mRNA has not been delineated. In the current study, we discovered SRSF5 as a regulatory protein binding to a region located between DMTF1β and α acceptor splice sites to promote DMTF1β and γ splicing. We demonstrated that SRSF5 expression positively correlated with DMTF1β/α ratio in breast cancer samples, and ectopically expressed SRSF5 promoted the splicing of DMTF1β and γ, but not DMTF1α, when testing endogenous DMTF1 pre-mRNA and a reporter construct. Upon SRSF5 knockdown, we observed significantly decreased DMTF1β and γ ratios of endogenous transcripts. An RNA sequence just upstream of the α acceptor site contains two adjacent SRSF5 binding elements, one of which overlaps with an SF1 binding site. Our mechanistic studies revealed that SRSF5 binding to both elements in this region could consign SF1 to its distal-binding sites close to the β and γ acceptor sites, favouring splicing of their isoforms. Overall, our study revealed SRSF5 as a key regulator to promote DMTF1β and γ splicing, and consequently reduce DMTF1α splicing.
