Project description:RNA interference is involved in silencing of transposable and repetitive elements. How these elements are initially recognized by RNAi is a fundamental and unanswered question. We previously identified a class of Dicer-independent small RNAs, called primal small RNAs (priRNAs), in fission yeast. The mechanism by which Dicer-independent small RNAs are generated is not clear for any species. Here we reconstitute priRNA biogenesis in vitro and demonstrate that priRNAs can nucleate RNAi in vivo. We identify 3'-5' exonuclease Trimmer and show that Argonaute, loaded with longer RNA precursors, recruits Trimmer to generate the new 3' end. Next, we show that antisense priRNAs accumulate in rrp6M-NM-^T cells and nucleate RNAi at subset of protein coding genes in a Trimmer- and priRNA-dependent manner. Thus, Rrp6-mediated degradation of antisense transcripts and priRNA precursors protects the genome from spurious RNAi. Our results suggest that Argonaute association with random RNA degradation products triggers RNAi in a process of transcriptome surveillance. small RNA profiling in wild type S. pombe cells and in mutant cells

Project description:The developmentally regulated 26- to 32-nt siRNAs (scnRNAs) are loaded to the Argonaute protein Twi1p and display a strong bias for uracil at the 5' end. In this study, we used deep sequencing to analyze loaded and unloaded populations of scnRNAs. We show that the size of the scnRNA is determined during a pre-loading process, whereas their 5' uracil bias is attributed to both pre-loading and loading processes. We also demonstrate that scnRNAs have a strong bias for adenine at the third base from the 3' terminus, suggesting that most scnRNAs are direct Dicer products. Furthermore, we show that the thermodynamic asymmetry of the scnRNA duplex does not affect the guide and passenger strand decision. Finally, we show that scnRNAs frequently have templated uracil at the last base without a strong bias for adenine at the second base indicating non-sequential production of scnRNAs from substrates. These findings provide a biochemical basis for the varying attributes of scnRNAs, which should help improve our understanding of the production and turnover of scnRNAs in vivo. We compared Twi1p-loaded scnRNAs to scnRNAs before they have been loaded into Twi1p by deep sequencing to understand how the two processes, the production of siRNAs by Dicer and the loading of siRNAs into Argonaute, shape the population of siRNAs in vivo.

Project description:Loss of CLP1 activity results in the accumulation of novel sets of small RNA fragments derived from aberrant processing of tyrosine pre-tRNA. Such tRNA fragments sensitize cells to oxidative stress-induced p53 activation and p53-dependent cell death. 2 samples, Wt and Clp1(k/k), no replicates

Project description:The assembly of fission yeast pericentromeric heterochromatin and generation of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from noncoding centromeric transcripts are mutually dependent processes. How this interdependent positive feedback loop is first triggered is a fundamental unanswered question. Here we show that two distinct Argonaute (Ago1)-dependent pathways mediate small RNA generation. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase complex (RDRC) and Dicer act on specific noncoding RNAs to generate siRNAs by a mechanism that requires the slicer activity of Ago1 but is independent of pre-existing heterochromatin. In the absence of RDRC or Dicer, a distinct class of small RNAs, called primal small RNAs (priRNAs), associate with Ago1. priRNAs are degradation products of abundant transcripts, which bind to Ago1 and target antisense transcripts that result from bidirectional transcription of DNA repeats. Our results suggest that a transcriptome surveillance mechanism based on the random association of RNA degradation products with Argonaute triggers siRNA amplification and heterochromatin assembly within DNA repeats. small RNA profiling in wild type S. pombe cells and in 12 mutant cells

Project description:Drosophila Dicer-1 produces microRNAs (miRNAs) from pre-miRNA, whereas Dicer-2 generates small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from long dsRNA. loquacious (loqs) encodes three Dicer partner proteins, Loqs-PA, Loqs-PB, and, Loqs-PD, generated by alternative splicing. To understand the function of each Loqs isoform, we constructed loqs isoform-specific rescue flies. Loqs-PD promotes siRNA production in vivo by Dicer-2. Loqs-PA or Loqs-PB is required for viability, but the proteins are not fully redundant: Loqs-PB is required to produce a specific subset of miRNAs. Surprisingly, Loqs-PB tunes the product size cleaved by Dicer-1 from pre-miR-307a, generating a longer miRNA isoform with a distinct seed sequence and target specificity. The mouse and human Dicer-binding partner TRBP, a homolog of Loqs-PB, similarly tunes the site of pre-miR-132 cleavage by mammalian Dicer. Thus, Dicer-binding partner proteins can change the choice of cleavage site by Dicer, producing miRNAs with different target specificities than those that would be made by Dicer alone.

Project description:The transposon silencing piRNAs are produced from precursors that are encoded by heterochromatic clusters and processed in the perinuclear nuage. We show that the Drosophila nuclear DEAD box protein UAP56, previously implicated in mRNA splicing and nuclear export, co-localizes with the cluster-associated HP1 homologue Rhino. Prominent nuclear foci containing Rhi and UAP56 localize directly across the nuclear envelope from Vasa, a conserved DEAD box protein and core nuage component that is required for piRNA production, and piRNA precursors immunoprecipitate with both UAP56 and Vasa. A uap56 point mutation that prevents UAP56 protein co-localization with Rhino also disrupts nuage organization, transposon silencing, and expression of dual strand piRNA clusters. By contrast, this allele significantly increases ectopic piRNAs from protein coding genes. We therefore propose that UAP56 and Vasa organize a piRNA-processing compartment that spans the nuclear envelope, increasing the efficiency and specificity of piRNA biogenesis. RNA-Seq: 3 samples examined: w1118, uap56 mutant un-oxidized, uap56 mutant oxidized RIP-Seq: 6 samples: UAP56-Venus, sz-Venus, and wild type w1 with anti-flag and input control each.

Project description:P. aeruginosa was cultured in a MultiScreen-Mesh plate, which has a filter at the bottom of the wells. The plate was immersed in either in medium alone (control) or in medium inoculated with a mixture of five bacterial strains commonly found in cystic fibrosis sputum (\"microbiome\"). The filter prevented physical contact between P. aeruginosa and the other bacteria, yet soluble products could migrate through the filter into the P. aeruginosa biofilm. P. aeruginosa was then allowed to form biofilms in the wells for 72h, then the biofilm was harvested and a fraction of the harvested cells were used for re-inoculations. This was repeated for 18 cycles for a total of 54 days.

Project description:Distinct classes of small RNAs are often selectively sorted to different Argonaute proteins. Various properties of small RNAs, such as length, terminal nucleotide, thermodynamic asymmetry and duplex mismatches, can impact sorting in different RNA silencing pathways in diverse eukaryotes. The developmentally regulated ~26-32 nt siRNAs, which are involved in programmed DNA elimination in Tetrahymena, show a strong bias for uracil at the 5' end. In this study, we analyzed loaded and unloaded populations of ~26-32 nt siRNAs by deep RNA sequencing. We show that the production process is the main determinant of size, whereas the 5' uracil bias is attributed not only to the process of loading siRNAs into the Argonaute protein Twi1p but also significantly to the initial processing of the siRNAs. We also show that both the loaded and the unloaded ~26-32 nt siRNAs have a strong bias for adenine as the 3rd base from the 3' terminus, suggesting that most of these siRNAs are direct Dicer products and little post-processing amplification of this class of siRNAs occurs. Further, we demonstrate that the siRNA-loading process in vivo can be deduced from the fraction of siRNAs with uracil as the first base. These findings provide biochemical bases for the attributes of ~26-32 nt siRNAs, which should help improve our understanding of their production and turnover in vivo.
