Alternative polyadenylation (APA) produces mRNA isoforms with different 3' UTR lengths. Previous studies indicated that 3' end processing and mRNA export are intertwined in gene regulation. Here, we show that mRNA export factors generally facilitate usage of distal cleavage and polyadenylation sites (PASs), leading to long 3' UTR isoform expression. By focusing on the export receptor NXF1, which exhibits the most potent effect on APA in this study, we reveal several gene features that impact NXF1-dependent APA, including 3' UTR size, gene size, and AT content. Surprisingly, NXF1 downregulation results in RNA polymerase II (Pol II) accumulation at the 3' end of genes, correlating with its role in APA regulation. Moreover, NXF1 cooperates with CFI-68 to facilitate nuclear export of long 3' UTR isoform with UGUA motifs. Together, our work reveals important roles of NXF1 in coordinating transcriptional dynamics, 3' end processing, and nuclear export of long 3' UTR transcripts, implicating NXF1 as a nexus of gene regulation.

Software for aligning sequencing reads against large reference genome. Consists of three algorithms: BWA-backtrack, BWA-SW and BWA-MEM. First for sequence reads up to 100bp, and other two for longer sequences ranged from 70bp to 1Mbp.
View all literature mentionsSoftware tool to detect differential alternative splicing events from RNA-Seq data. Calculates P value and false discovery rate that difference in isoform ratio of gene between two conditions exceeds given user defined threshold. Can automatically detect and analyze alternative splicing events corresponding to all major types of alternative splicing patterns. Handles replicate RNA-Seq data from both paired and unpaired study design.
