Phosphorylation states of SRSF1 affect ESE binding affinity. (A) Cartoon representation of SRSF1 domain organization (upper) and coomassie stained SDS/PAGE showing unphosphorylated, hypo-phosphorylated (p-SRSF1), and hyper-phosphorylated SRSF1 (pp-SRSF1). (B and C) Filter binding assay showing the binding of SRSF1 (RRM1/2), SRSF1 (FL), p-SRSF1 (FL), and pp-SRSF1 (FL) to Ron ESE (AGGCGGAGGAAGC) and to mut Ron ESE (mRon ESE; AGGCGGUUGUUGC), respectively. The means and standard deviation (SD) of the results from three independent experiments are shown. (D) Estimated equilibrium dissociation constants (Kd) of SRSF1∶ESE complexes were measured based on FB assay (Rona) and EMSA (Ronb) (see Fig. S1 A–C). Kd was estimated as 50% of bound RNA fraction. ND denotes not determined. SD was determined from three independent experiments.
