Regulation of pre-mRNA splicing and polyadenylation plays a profound role in neurons by diversifying the proteome and modulating gene expression during development and in response to physiological cues. Although most pre-mRNA processing reactions are thought to occur in the nucleus, numerous splicing regulators are also found in neurites. Here, we show that U1-70K/SNRNP70, a major spliceosomal component, localizes in RNA-associated granules in axons. We identify the cytoplasmic pool of SNRNP70 as an important local regulator of motor axonal growth, nerve-dependent acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering and neuromuscular synaptogenesis. This cytoplasmic pool has a protective role for a limited number of axonal transcripts preventing them from degradation. Moreover, non-nuclear SNRNP70 is able to locally regulates splice variants of transcripts such as agrin, thereby locally controlling formation of synapses. Our results point to an unexpected, yet essential, function of local SNRNP70 in axonal development and indicate a role of splicing factors in local RNA metabolism during establishment and maintenance of neuronal connectivity.
