| description | The Bronx waltzer mutation in Srrm4, a gene that encodes a neuronal Ser/Arg (SR)-rich splicing factor, disrupts the expression of several alternative exons specifically in the inner ear. Here we show that the expression of SRRM3 in neurons limits the distribution of SRRM4-dependent splicing. In vitro, SRRM3 and SRRM4 regulated the same alternative exons, yet in vivo Srrm3 deficiency caused neuronal splicing alterations and motor dysfunction, indicating that SRRM3 has non-redundant functions. Mice harboring mutations in both Srrm3 and Srrm4 failed to breathe, and their neuromuscular junctions (NMJ) were malformed. Transcriptome-wide analysis revealed a large network of SRRM3/SRRM4-dependent splicing changes, including the skipping of key exons in the NMJ organizer Agrin. Furthermore, SRRM3/SRRM4 regulated gene expression through neuron-specific switches in chromatin regulatory complexes and by altering the reading frame in several mRNAs. Our findings reveal that the SRRM3/SRRM4 subfamily of SR proteins is central to regulation of the neuronal transcriptome. In this dataset, we include probe-set level data obtained from cerebellar samples. The processed data represent probe-set intensities that have been normalized to gene expression levels. 8 samples were analyzed: cerebellums from 4 wild-type (WT) and 4 homozygous Srrm3 gene-trapped (gt/gt) mice on P16. |
