PTB regulates the processing of a 3'-terminal exon by repressing both splicing and polyadenylation.

???displayArticle.abstract???
The polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB) has been described as a global repressor of regulated exons. To investigate PTB functions in a physiological context, we used a combination of morpholino-mediated knockdown and transgenic overexpression strategies in Xenopus laevis embryos. We show that embryonic endoderm and skin deficient in PTB displayed a switch of the alpha-tropomyosin pre-mRNA 3' end processing to the somite-specific pattern that results from the utilization of an upstream 3'-terminal exon designed exon 9A9'. Conversely, somitic targeted overexpression of PTB resulted in the repression of the somite-specific exon 9A9' and a switch towards the nonmuscle pattern. These results validate PTB as a key physiological regulator of the 3' end processing of the alpha-tropomyosin pre-mRNA. Moreover, using a minigene strategy in the Xenopus oocyte, we show that in addition to repressing the splicing of exon 9A9', PTB regulates the cleavage/polyadenylation of this 3'-terminal exon.
