Mammalian SR proteins are currently thought to function in mRNA export as well as splicing. They contain multiple phosphorylated serine/arginine (RS/SR) dipeptides. Although SR domains can be phosphorylated by many kinases in vitro, the physiologically relevant kinase(s), and the role(s) of these modifications in vivo have remained unclear. NpI3 is a shuttling protein in budding yeast that we showed previously to be a substrate for the mammalian SR protein kinase, SRPK1, as well as the related yeast kinase, Sky1, Here we demonstrate that Sky1p phosphorylates only one of NpI3p's eight SR/RS dipeptides. Mutation of the C-terminal RS to RA, or deletion of SKY1, results in the cytoplasmic accumulation of NpI3p, The redistribution of Npl3p is accompanied by its increased association with poly(A)(+) RNA and decreased association with its import receptor, Mtr10p, in vivo. We propose that phosphorylation of NpI3p by the cytoplasmically localized Sky1p is required for efficient release of mRNA upon termination of export.
