This study investigates the role of the putative splicing regulator and transcriptional cofactor PRMT5 in mammalian development. Using mouse models, Bezzi et al. show that PRMT5 deletion affects splicing through its ability to reduce Sm protein methylation. The authors identify the Mdm4 pre-mRNA as a key PRMT5 target; Mdm4 pre-mRNA senses defects in the spliceosomal machinery and consequently activates the p53 response. This study uncovers a new role for PRMT5 in splicing and identifies Mdm4 pre-mRNA as a potential anti-cancer target. The tight control of gene expression at the level of both transcription and post-transcriptional RNA processing is essential for mammalian development. We here investigate the role of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), a putative splicing regulator and transcriptional cofactor, in mammalian development. We demonstrate that selective deletion of PRMT5 in neural stem/progenitor cells (NPCs) leads to postnatal death in mice. At the molecular level, the absence of PRMT5 results in reduced methylation of Sm proteins, aberrant constitutive splicing, and the alternative splicing of specific mRNAs with weak 5′ donor sites. Intriguingly, the products of these mRNAs are, among others, several proteins regulating cell cycle progression. We identify Mdm4 as one of these key mRNAs that senses the defects in the spliceosomal machinery and transduces the signal to activate the p53 response, providing a mechanistic explanation of the phenotype observed in vivo. Our data demonstrate that PRMT5 is a master regulator of splicing in mammals and uncover a new role for the Mdm4 pre-mRNA, which could be exploited for anti-cancer therapy.
