Project description:The endogenous RNA substrates of Translin-TRAX complexes (also known as C3POs) and how they regulate diverse biological processes remain unknown. Here we show that Translin and TRAX do not play a significant role in RNAi in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Instead, the Neurospora C3PO complex functions as a ribonuclease that removes the 5’ pre-tRNA fragments after the processing of pre-tRNAs by RNase P. In translin and trax mutants, 5’ pre-tRNA fragments accumulate to very high levels that can be degraded specifically by both recombinant and endogenous Neurospora C3PO and recombinant Drosophila C3PO. In addition, the mutants have elevated tRNA levels and increased levels of protein translation and are more resistant to a programmed cell-death inducing agent. Together, this study identified the endogenous RNA substrates of C3PO and provides a potential explanation for its roles in seemingly diverse biological processes.

Project description:Parental dietary conditions can influence the metabolic traits of offspring. In mice, paternal consumption of low protein diet alters cholesterol and lipid metabolism of progeny. Here, we examine RNA species expressed in male reproductive tissues of mice. Protein restriction leads to altered levels of multiple small RNAs in mature sperm, as well as throughout the male reproductive tract, with decreased levels of let-7 family members and increased levels of 5’ fragments of tRNA-Gly isoacceptors. Intriguingly, tRNA fragments are scarce in the testis, but their levels increase in sperm during post-testicular maturation in the epididymis. We find that epididymosomes – extracellular vesicles which fuse with sperm during epididymal transit – exhibit RNA payloads closely matching those of mature sperm, and can deliver tRNA fragments to immature sperm in vitro both in mouse and in bull. Finally, we show that tRNA-Gly-GCC fragments play a role in repressing genes associated with the endogenous retroelement MERVL, both in ES cells and in preimplantation embryos. Our results shed light on small RNA biogenesis during post-testicular sperm maturation, and link tRNA fragments to regulation of endogenous retroelements active in the early embryo. Small RNA (<40nt) profile of various tissues and cells was examined by deep sequencing

Project description:Argonaute/Piwi proteins associate with small RNAs that typically provide sequence specificity for RNP function in gene and genome regulation. Here we show that Twi12, a Tetrahymena Piwi protein essential for growth, is loaded with mature tRNA fragments. The tightly bound ~18-22 nt tRNA 3’ fragments are biochemically distinct from the tRNA halves produced transiently in response to stress. Notably, the end positions of Twi12-bound tRNA 3' fragments precisely match RNAs detected in total small RNA of mouse embryonic stem cells and human cancer cells. Our studies demonstrate unanticipated evolutionary conservation of mature tRNA processing to tRNA-fragment small RNAs. Two libraries are analyzed here: sRNAs associated with slightly overexpressed ZZ-tagged Twi12 purified under native conditions (size range 15-34nt), and those associated after formaldehyde crosslinking (15-22nt).

Our results shed light on small RNA biogenesis during post-testicular sperm maturation, and link tRNA fragments to regulation of endogenous retroelements active in the early embryo. Zygotes were generated by IVF from animals fed a control diet. These embryos were then microinjected with various combinations of small RNAs and control RNA (HIS3.3::GFP). Follwoing injections the zygotes were developed and allowed to develop until 2 cell (2C) or 4 cell (4C) stage when single embryo RNA seq was carried out to study gene expression changes

Project description:The field of epitranscriptomics is growing in importance, with chemical modification of RNA being associated with a wide variety of biological phenomena. Mass spectrometry (MS) enables the identification of modified RNA residues within their sequence contexts, by using analogous approaches to shotgun proteomics. We have developed a free and open-source database search engine for RNA MS data, called NucleicAcidSearchEngine (NASE), as part of the OpenMS software framework. NASE allows the reliable identification of (modified) RNA sequences from LC-MS/MS data in a high-throughput fashion. For this validation dataset, we generated a sample of human total tRNA from a cellular extract - a complex mixture of highly modified RNAs. This sample was RNase-treated prior to nanoflow LC-MS/MS analysis.

Project description:Here we report that the spatial organization of yeast tRNA genes depends upon both locus position and tRNA identity; supporting the idea that the genomic organization of tRNA loci utilizes tRNA dependent signals within the nucleoprotein-tRNA complexes that form into clusters. We use high-throughput sequencing coupled to Circular Chromosome Conformation Capture to detect interactions with two wild type tRNAs and these same positions replaced with suppressor tRNAs (SUP4-1).

Project description:Ischemic injuries will lead to necrotic tissue damage, and post-ischemia angiogenesis plays critical roles in blood flow restoration and tissue recovery. Recently, several types of small RNAs have been reported to be involved in this process. In this study, we first generated a rat brain ischemic model to investigate the involvement of new types of small RNAs in ischemia. We utilized deep sequencing and bioinformatics analyses to demonstrate that the level of small RNA fragments derived from tRNAs was strikingly up-regulated in the ischemic rat brain. Among these sequences, tRNAVal- and tRNAGly-derived small RNAs account for the most abundant segments. The up-regulation of tRNAVal- and tRNAGly-derived fragments was verified through northern blot and quantitative PCR analyses. The levels of these two fragments also increased in a mouse hindlimb ischemia model and cellular hypoxia model. Importantly, the overexpression of tRNAVal- and tRNAGly-derived fragments in endothelial cells inhibited cell proliferation, migration and tube formation. Our results indicate that tRNA-derived fragments are involved in tissue ischemia, and we demonstrate for the first time that tRNAVal- and tRNAGly-derived fragments inhibit angiogenesis by modulating the function of endothelial cells.

Project description:Purpose: High-throughput RNA sequencing has accelerated discovery of the complex regulatory roles of small RNAs, such those derived from tRNAs. Also recent advances in high-throughput RNA sequencing has revealed the complex RNA modification landscape and the complex role these nucleosides modifactions have in cell signalling, stem cell biology, development and cancer. The goal of this study is to establish how m5C-tRNA methylation and tRNA-derived small RNAs can affect stem cell fucntion in cancer. Methods: four replicates of tRNAs and RNA buisulphite sequencing of wild-type (WT) and NSun2 -/- mouse skin squamous tumours were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq platform. Results: Our analyses reveal that inhibition of post-transcriptional cytosine-5 methylation locks stem cells in this distinct translational inhibition programme that results in tumour progression but that also sentizes cancer cells to genotoxic stress.
