Many eukaryotic genes generate linear mRNAs and circular RNAs, but it is largely unknown how the ratio of linear to circular RNA is controlled or modulated. Using RNAi screening in Drosophila cells, we identify many core spliceosome and transcription termination factors that control the RNA outputs of reporter and endogenous genes. When spliceosome components were depleted or inhibited pharmacologically, the steady-state levels of circular RNAs increased while expression of their associated linear mRNAs concomitantly decreased. Upon inhibiting RNA polymerase II termination via depletion of the cleavage/polyadenylation machinery, circular RNA levels were similarly increased. This is because readthrough transcripts now extend into downstream genes and are subjected to backsplicing. In total, these results demonstrate that inhibition or slowing of canonical pre-mRNA processing events shifts the steady-state output of protein-coding genes towards circular RNAs. This is in part because nascent RNAs become directed into alternative pathways that lead to circular RNA production. Many protein-coding genes produce linear mRNAs and circular RNAs. Liang et al. find that circular RNAs become the preferred gene output when core spliceosome or transcription termination factors are depleted from cells. This is in part because nascent RNAs are directed into alternative pathways that lead to circular RNA biogenesis.
