The role of nuclear matrix proteins in premessenger RNA splicing has been investigated using antibodies raised against isolated rat liver nuclear matrix and cross-reactive with a 65-kDa HeLa cell nuclear matrix protein (IGA-65). IGA-65 is an internal nuclear matrix component which can be solubilized as a component of nuclear splicing extracts, by the action of endogenous ribonucleases, EDTA, and DTT during extract preparation. Preincubation of splicing extract with antibodies against IGA-65 (anti-IGA-65) inhibitedin vitrosplicing of exogenous adenovirus precursor RNA. Furthermore, assembly of precursor RNA into active spliceosome complexes was inhibited by pretreatment of extracts with anti-IGA-65, suggesting a role for IGA-65 during early spliceosome assembly. The IGA-65 present in splicing extracts was distinguishable from known U-snRNP and hnRNP proteins on protein gels. Furthermore, electrophoresis of splicing extract on native gels indicated that IGA-65 was present in protein complexes different from those containing U-snRNPs or hnRNP C protein. The data support identification of complexes containing IGA-65 as nuclear factors involved in pre-mRNA splicing and, by extension, suggest a role for the nuclear matrix during processingin vivo.
