Dsyregulation of mitosis-related alternative splicing in cancer cells is not well understood. Here, the authors show that cancer metastasis-associated antigen 1 (MTA1), an oncogenic chromatin associated protein, is an RNA-binding protein that regulates the alternative splicing and transcript abundance of mitosis regulators.
