Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein F (hnRNP-F) has been shown to be a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Recent studies have uncovered the coordination of synthesis of pre-mRNA and its processing, including post-transcriptional modification and splicing. Here, we present evidence for an association between a splicing factor, hnRNP-F, and TATA-binding protein (TBP), which is an essential factor needed for transcription initiation. An affinity detection experiment revealed hnRNP-F in the preparation of TBP-interacting proteins. HnRNP-F was associated with TBP in nuclear extracts and was capable of direct binding to TBP in vitro. These results suggest that hnRNP-F is associated with TBP in the cell. HnRNP-F was observed in abundance in the thymus, spleen and testis, and its distribution pattern was similar to that of TBP, implying a functional coordination of transcription and splicing. We assume that the splicing machinery is associated with the transcription apparatus as a prerequisite prior to transcriptional elongation.
