A number of natural occurring small-molecule splicing modulators are known. Here, the authors combine chemogenomic, structural and biochemical methods and show that these compounds also target the spliceosome-associated protein PHF5A and propose a potential modulator binding site in the PHF5A–SF3B1 complex.
