We report an action of the
protein kinase WNK3
on the neuronal mRNA splicing factor
Fox
-1.
Fox
-1 splices mRNAs encoding proteins important in synaptic transmission and membrane excitation. WNK3, implicated in the control of neuronal excitability through actions on ion transport, binds
Fox
-1 and inhibits its splicing activity in a kinase activity-dependent manner. Phosphorylation of
Fox
-1 by WNK3 does not change its RNA binding capacity; instead, WNK3 increases the cytoplasmic localization of
Fox
-1, thereby suppressing
Fox
-1-dependent splicing. These findings demonstrate a role of WNK3 in RNA processing. Considering the implication of WNK3 and
Fox
-1 in disorders of neuronal development such as autism, WNK3 may offer a target for treatment of
Fox
-1-induced disease.
