We identified PRP4 kinase-A (PRP4ka) in a forward genetic screen based on an alternatively-spliced GFP reporter gene in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis). Prp4 kinase, which was the first spliceosome-associated kinase shown to regulate splicing in fungi and mammals, has not yet been studied in plants. Analysis of RNA-seq data from the prp4ka mutant revealed widespread perturbations in alternative splicing. A quantitative iTRAQ-based phosphoproteomics investigation of the mutant identified phosphorylation changes in several serine/arginine-rich proteins, which regulate constitutive and alternative splicing, as well as other splicing-related factors. The results demonstrate the importance of PRP4ka in alternative splicing and suggest that PRP4ka may influence alternative splicing patterns by phosphorylating a subset of splicing regulators.
