Sam68 is a direct substrate of ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) and binds exonic splice-regulatory elements of the CD44 v5 exon. ERK phosphorylation of Sam68 stimulates inclusion of the v5 exon in vitro, and forced Sam68 expression enhanced ERK-mediated v5 inclusion; mutation of ERK phosphorylation sites in Sam68 impaired this enhancement. Suppression of Sam68 abolished Ras-pathway-induced alternative splicing of endogenous CD44-v5. |

Sam68 binds the Bcl-x mRNA and promotes inclusion of the proapoptotic Bcl-x(s) splice site. Depletion of Sam68 by RNAi caused accumulation of antiapoptotic Bcl-x(L), while up-regulation increased Bcl-x(s). Tyrosine phosphorylation of Sam68 by Fyn kinase inverted this effect, favoring Bcl-x(L) splice site selection. Sam68 interacted with hnRNP A1, and depletion of hnRNP A1 or mutations impairing this interaction attenuated Bcl-x(s) splicing. A point mutation in the RNA-binding domain influenced both splicing activity and subnuclear localization. |

PRMT1 (protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1) associates with and methylates Sam68 in vivo, introducing asymmetrical dimethylarginines near the proline motif P3. Deletion of methylation sites or use of methylase inhibitors caused Sam68 accumulation in the cytoplasm. PRMT1-deficient embryonic stem cells also showed cytoplasmic Sam68.

Sam68 binds RNA with specificity and high affinity via a KH domain embedded in a larger GSG domain. SELEX identified high-affinity RNA sequences (Kd ~12–40 nM) containing a UAAA motif; mutation of UAAA to UACA abolished binding. The KH domain alone was insufficient; the broader GSG region was required. KH domain mutations analogous to loss-of-function mutations in FMR1 and GLD-1 abolished RNA binding. |
