RNA splicing entails the coordinated interaction of more than 150 proteins in the spliceosome, one of the most complex of the cell's molecular machines. We previously discovered that the RNA-binding motif protein 17 (RBM17), a component of the spliceosome, is essential for survival and cell maintenance. Here, we find that it interacts with the spliceosomal factors U2SURP and CHERP and that they reciprocally regulate each other's stability, both in mouse and in human cells. Individual knockdown of each of the three proteins induces overlapping changes in splicing and gene expression of transcripts enriched for RNA-processing factors. Our results elucidate the function of RBM17, U2SURP, and CHERP and link the activity of the spliceosome to the regulation of downstream RNA-binding proteins. These data support the hypothesis that, beyond driving constitutive splicing, spliceosomal factors can regulate alternative splicing of specific targets.
