Article Abstract
The Exon-Junction Complex (EJC) is essential for post-transcriptional gene regulation, with MAGOH as one of its core components, known for its involvement in mRNA surveillance and translation. In this study, we characterize an evolutionarily conserved, alternatively spliced isoform of MAGOH, i.e. MAGOH-Δ37, which has remained largely unexplored until now. Our study reveals that, unlike canonical MAGOH, MAGOH-Δ37 does not interact with known EJC proteins such as EIF4A3, RBM8A, RNPS1, or SAP18, suggesting a distinct functional role independent of the EJC. Intriguingly, both MAGOH and MAGOH-Δ37 associate with proteins implicated in neurodegenerative disorders, suggesting EJC-independent interactions. Furthermore, MAGOH and its isoform MAGOH-Δ37 interact with ubiquitin and were found to be upregulated upon proteasomal inhibition. The association of the isoforms with a distinct polyubiquitin signature suggests a potential role in the ubiquitin-proteasome system, either as targets or binding partners. These findings provide new insights into the roles of MAGOH isoforms in stress-related pathways, with implications for their involvement in neurodegenerative conditions.

Several studies have highlighted that Mago-nashi homolog (MAGOH) contributed greatly to cell development, growth, and malignant progression in multiple cancer types. Nevertheless, the role of MAGOH in pan-cancer datasets, particularly in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), remains uninvestigated. In this study, we first utilized diverse databases to systematically analyze the expression and significance of MAGOH across pan-cancer.

Type II interferon (IFNγ) signaling is essential for innate immunity and critical for effective immunological checkpoint blockade in cancer immunotherapy. Genetic screen identification of post-transcriptional regulators of this pathway has been challenging since such factors are often essential for cell viability. Here, we utilize our inducible CRISPR/Cas9 approach to screen for key post-transcriptional regulators of IFNγ signaling, and in this way, we identify ERH and the ERH-associated splicing and RNA export factors MAGOH, SRSF1, and ALYREF.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors with high heterogeneity, and its etiology and pathogenesis are unclear. Recently, many aberrantly alternatively spliced isoforms of the receptor tyrosine kinase recepteur d'origine nantais (RON) have been shown to play vital roles in GC development. Serine/arginine protein kinase 1 (SRPK1) is widely recognized as a key splicing factor kinase that regulates various steps of alternative splicing.

The Exon Junction Complex (EJC) deposited upstream of exon-exon junctions during pre-mRNA splicing in the nucleus remains stably bound to RNA to modulate mRNA fate at multiple post-transcriptional steps until its disassembly during translation. Here, we investigated two EJC disassembly mechanisms in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells, one mediated by PYM1, a factor that can bind both the ribosome and the RBM8A/MAGOH heterodimer of the EJC core, and another by the elongating ribosome itself. We find that EJCs lacking PYM1 interaction show no defect in translation-dependent disassembly but is required for translation-independent EJC destabilization.
