    Abstract The conventional model for splicing involves excision of each intron in one piece; we demonstrate this inaccurately describes splicing in many human genes. First, after switching on transcription of SAMD4A, a gene with a 134 kb-long first intron, splicing joins the 3' end of exon 1 to successive points within intron 1 well before the acceptor site at exon 2 is made. Second, genome-wide analysis shows that >60% of active genes yield products generated by such intermediate intron splicing. These products are present at ∼15% the levels of primary transcripts, are encoded by conserved sequences similar to those found at canonical acceptors, and marked by distinctive structural and epigenetic features. Finally, using targeted genome editing, we demonstrate that inhibiting the formation of these splicing intermediates affects efficient exon-exon splicing. These findings greatly expand the functional and regulatory complexity of the human transcriptome.

    Abstract Alternative processing of the pre-messenger RNA encoding calcitonin/calcitonin gene-related peptide (CT/CGRP) involves alternative inclusion of a 3'-terminal exon (exon 4) embedded within a six exon primary transcript. Expression of CT/CGRP in transgenic mice indicates that inclusion of exon 4 occurs in a wide variety of tissues, suggesting that the factors responsible for exon 4 inclusion are widely distributed. Inclusion of exon 4 requires an enhancer sequence located within the intron downstream of the poly(A) site of exon 4. Here we show that the intron enhancer activated in vitro polyadenylation cleavage of precursor RNAs containing the CT/CGRP exon 4 poly(A) site or heterologous poly(A) sites. To our knowledge this is the first example of an intron-located enhancer that facilitates polyadenylation. Within the enhancer sequence is a 5' splice site sequence immediately preceded by a pyrimidine tract. This 5' splice site sequence was required for enhanced polyadenylation and was recognized by both U1 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) and alternative splicing factor/splicing factor 2 (ASF/SF2). Enhancement of polyadenylation required U1 RNA, suggesting that the 5' splice site sequence within the enhancer mediates enhancement via interaction with factors normally associated with functional 5' splice sites. Mutation of the polypyrimidine track of the enhancer also inhibited in vitro polyadenylation cleavage. Oligonucleotide competitions and UV cross-linking indicated that the enhancer pyrimidine track binds the polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB), but not U2 snRNP auxiliary factor (U2AF), and that binding of PTB was required for maximal enhancer-mediated polyadenylation. These results suggest that the enhancer binds known splicing factors, and that binding of these factors activates polyadenylation cleavage. Furthermore, these results suggest that regulation of alternative processing of CT/CGRP could occur at the level of polyadenylation, rather than splicing.
