Abstract

Bustos et al. show that SRPK splicing factor kinase has acquired a developmental function— phosphorylating the RNF12 E3 ubiquitin ligase to promote degradation of the transcription factor, REX1. This signaling pathway regulates a neurodevelopmental gene expression program and is mutated in patients with neurodevelopmental disorders.
