Project description:Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy could be facilitated by the development of molecular switches to control the magnitude and timing of expression of therapeutic transgenes. RNA interference (RNAi)-based approaches hold unique potential as a clinically proven modality to pharmacologically regulate AAV gene dosage in a sequence-specific manner. We present a generalizable RNAi-based rheostat wherein AAV transgene expression is silenced using the clinically validated modality of chemically modified short interfering RNA (siRNA) conjugates or vectorized co-expression of short hairpin RNA (shRNA). For transgene induction, we employ REVERSIR technology, a synthetic high-affinity oligonucleotide complementary to the siRNA or shRNA guide strand to reverse RNAi activity and rapidly recover transgene expression. For potential clinical development, we report potent and specific siRNA sequences that may allow selective regulation of transgenes while minimizing unintended off-target effects. Our results establish a conceptual framework for RNAi-based regulatory switches with potential for infrequent dosing in clinical settings to dynamically modulate expression of virally-delivered gene therapies.

Project description:In Arabidopsis thaliana two nuclear 5'-3' exonucleases, XRN2 & 3, are involved in the degradation and processing of several classes of nuclear RNAs and in transcription termination of RNA polymerase II. The role of XRN3 in Pol II transcription termination is investigated by combining two different types of RNA-seq data for Col-0 background WT and xrn3-8 mutant A. thaliana seedlings. The data for the experiment comprises single molecule Direct RNA Sequencing of unamplified RNA (3x WT, 4x xrn3-8 mutant) and high-depth Illumina strand-specific short read sequencing of PCR amplified ribosomal-RNA depleted RNA (Illumina TruSeq stranded ribozero Plant kit, 3x WT, 3x xrm3-8 mutant). In the xrn3 mutant, these data reveal a widespread accumulation of non-coding intergenic transcripts (xrn3-associated transcripts - XATs) generated by Pol II read-through transcription that are usually polyadenylated and lack the 5' cap structure. This data highlights the important role of exoribonucleases in the torpedo mechanism of Pol II transcription termination and show that a global disturbance in this process significantly impacts both gene expression and transcriptome integrity.

Project description:In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, different small RNA-dependent gene silencing mechanisms act in the germline to initiate transgenerational gene silencing. Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) can initiate transposon and gene silencing by acting upstream of endogenous short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), which engage a nuclear RNA interference (RNAi) pathway to trigger transcriptional gene silencing. Once gene silencing has been established, it can be stably maintained over multiple generations without the requirement of the initial trigger and is also referred to as RNAe or paramutation. This heritable silencing depends on the integrity of the nuclear RNAi pathway. However, the exact mechanism by which silencing is maintained across generations is not understood.Here we demonstrate that silencing of piRNA targets involves the production of two distinct classes of small RNAs with different genetic requirements. The first class, secondary siRNAs, are localized close to the direct target site for piRNAs. Nuclear import of the secondary siRNAs by the Argonaute HRDE-1 leads to the production of a distinct class of small RNAs that map throughout the transcript, which we term tertiary siRNAs. Both classes of small RNAs are necessary for full repression of the target gene and can be maintained independently of the initial piRNA trigger. Consistently, we observed a form of paramutation associated with tertiary siRNAs. Once paramutated, a tertiary siRNA generating allele confers dominant silencing in the progeny regardless of its own transmission, suggesting germline-transmitted siRNAs are sufficient for multigenerational silencing. C. elegans strains containing transgenes silenced by piRNAs were crossed to strains with transgenes with similar sequences but without piRNA target sites, to investigate the spreading of silencing between transgenes mediated by small RNAs. Mutant backgrounds were used to investigate the genetic requirements for this process.

Project description:RNA interference (RNAi) is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism in plant and animal cells that directs the degradation of messenger RNAs homologous to short double-stranded RNAs termed small interfering RNA (siRNA). The ability of siRNA to direct gene silencing in mammalian cells has raised the possibility that siRNA might be used to investigate gene function in a high throughput fashion or to modulate gene expression in human diseases. The specificity of siRNA-mediated silencing, a critical consideration in these applications, has not been addressed on a genomewide scale. Here we show that siRNA-induced gene silencing of transient or stably expressed mRNA is highly gene-specific and does not produce secondary effects detectable by genomewide expression profiling. A test for transitive RNAi, extension of the RNAi effect to sequences 5' of the target region that has been observed in Caenorhabditis elegans, was unable to detect this phenomenon in human cells.

Project description:In the cytoplasm, small RNAs can control mammalian translation by regulating the stability of mRNA. In the nucleus, small RNAs can also control transcription and splicing. The mechanisms for RNA-mediated nuclear regulation are not understood and remain controversial, hindering the effective application of nuclear RNAi and blinding investigation of its natural regulatory roles. Here we reveal that the human GW182 paralogs TNRC6A/B/C are central organizing factors critical to RNA-mediated transcriptional activation. Mass spectrometry of purified nuclear lysates followed by experimental validation demonstrates that TNRC6A interacts with proteins involved in protein degradation, RNAi, the CCR4-NOT complex, the mediator complex, and histone modifying complexes. Functional analysis implicates TNRC6A, NAT10, MED14, and WDR5 in RNA-mediated transcriptional activation. These findings describe protein complexes capable of bridging RNA-mediated sequence-specific recognition of noncoding RNA transcripts with the regulation of gene transcription.

Project description:Argonaute 2 (AGO2), the catalytic engine of RNAi, is typically associated with inhibition of translation in the cytoplasm. Contrary to dogma, AGO2 has also been implicated in nuclear processes including transcription and splicing. There has been little insight into AGO2's nuclear interactions or how they might differ relative to cytoplasm. Here we investigate the interactions of cytoplasmic and nuclear AGO2 using semi-quantitative mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry often reveals long lists of candidate proteins, complicating efforts to rigorously discriminate true interacting partners from artifacts. We prioritized candidates using orthogonal analytical strategies that compare replicate mass spectra of proteins associated with FLAG-tagged and endogenous AGO2. Interactions with TRNC6A, TRNC6B, TNRC6C, and AGO3 are conserved between nuclei and cytoplasm. TAR binding protein interacted stably with cytoplasmic AGO2 but not nuclear AGO2, consistent with strand loading in the cytoplasm. Our data suggest that the core RNAi machinery is conserved between the nucleus and cytoplasm but that accessory proteins differ. Orthogonal analysis of mass spectra is a powerful approach to streamlining identification of protein partners.

Project description:The biological roles of ASRs (Abscisic acid, Stress, Ripening proteins) involved in certain crucial switches of plant development (grain and pollen germination, senescence, fruit ripening), and responses to environmental cues (drought, salinity, cold, nutrient depletion, fungus infection, heavy metal toxicity) remain still elusive. The functional duality of ASRs, as chaperones for direct protection of biological macromolecules, and as transcriptional regulators of gene expression, needs in-depth understanding of the underlying mechanisms. To further elucidate the biological functions of ASRs a quantitative proteomic analysis (iTRAQ) was performed comparing the nuclear proteins of grapevine embryogenic 41B cells: wild-type (WT) and genetically modified VvMSA-RNAi cells, silenced for grape ASR. Among all identified proteins, thirty-one were differentially expressed in WT and VvMSA-silenced cells and may be classified into five functional groups: metabolism, stress responses, ribosome biogenesis, transcription and chromatin architecture/remodeling. The impact of VvMSA silencing was also confirmed at the level of the genes encoding the differentially expressed nuclear proteins, and the revealed most pronounced effects at protein level suggest a more direct correlation to the putative biological function. Remarkably, many of the thirty-one differentially expressed proteins are supposedly involved in epigenetic events. To further corroborate this hypothesis immunoblot assay of Multiscreen type was performed using twenty-one antibodies to different post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histones H3 and H4 in both cell types, WT and VvMSA-RNAi. The subsequent ImageQuant analysis revealed marked semi-quantitative differences in most PTMs of grape histones H3 and H4, with sharp increase of H3K27ac, H3K36me3, H4K5ac and H4K12ac, as well as a strong decrease of H3K27me3 in VvMSA-RNAi cells. These findings provide new insights on a plausible role of VvMSA as an ASR protein involved in epigenetic mechanisms
