The RNA exosome and the NEXT complex interact with the splicing factor SRSF3. (a) HA-SRSF3 was co-expressed with individual Flag epitope-tagged RNA exosome subunits in HeLa cells as indicated. The top panels show western blotting of 1/10 of total extract (‘Input’), and the bottom panels show western blotting following immunoprecipitation with an anti-Flag antibody (IP: Flag). Anti-hRRP6 antibody was used as a positive control. (b) and (c) HA-SRSF3 and Flag-hMTR3 were expressed by transient transfection in HeLa cells as indicated. Cellular extracts were immunoprecipitated with an anti-Flag antibody (b) or an anti-HA antibody (c) in the presence or absence of RNase A. The immunoprecipitated complexes were then analyzed by western blotting using an anti-Flag polyclonal antibody (c) or an anti-HA antibody (b). (d) and (e) HA-SRSF3 was coexpressed with individual Flag epitope-tagged hTRAMP (d) or NEXT (e) complex subunits in HeLa cells. Cellular extracts were immunoprecipitated with an anti-Flag antibody and then the immunoprecipitated complexes were analyzed by western blotting using an anti-Flag polyclonal antibody to visualize the hTRAMP and NEXT complex subunits (top panel), or an anti-HA antibody to detect SRSF3 (bottom panel). (f) and (g) HA-SRSF3 and RBM7 Flag-tagged NEXT subunit were expressed by transient transfection in HeLa cells as indicated. Cellular extracts were immunoprecipitated with an anti-Flag antibody (f) or with an anti-HA antibody (g) in the presence or absence of RNase A. The immunoprecipitated complexes were then analyzed by western blotting using an anti-Flag polyclonal antibody (g) or an anti-HA antibody (f). (h) HA-SRSF3 was expressed by transient transfection in HeLa cells previously treated with control or specific siRNAs for the NEXT complex, either alone or together with the hMTR3 Flag-tagged RNA exosome subunit. Cellular extracts were immunoprecipitated with an anti-Flag antibody in the presence or absence of RNase A. The immunoprecipitated complexes were then analyzed by western blotting using an anti-Flag polyclonal antibody to visualize hMTR3 (top panel), anti-RBM7 or anti-ZCCHC8 antibodies (middle panels), or an anti-HA antibody to detect SRSF3 (bottom panel). * indicates non-specific bands.
