MRNA cap methylation in pluripotency and differentiation

ABSTRACT: The mRNA cap recruits factors essential for transcript processing and translation initiation. We report that regulated mRNA cap methylation is a feature of embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. Expression of the mRNA cap methyltransferase activating subunit, RAM, is elevated in ESCs resulting in high levels of mRNA cap methylation and expression of Oct4 and Sox2 and other pluripotency-associated factors. During neural differentiation, RAM is suppressed which is required for loss of Oct4 and Sox2 and correct expression of neural markers. Cells were treated with control or RAM siRNA and cytosolic RNA or polysome RNA (actively translated) was sequenced.

Using ribosome profiling to investigate the effect of p53 on translation in cancer cells

Project description:p53 is deleted or dysfunctional, or develops these features during the course of disease, with a frequency of about 50% in human cancers. This is clinically important because this group of patients respond very poorly to treatment. Our approach to discovering novel biomarkers or targets for therapy for p53 deleted/dysfunctional disease is to find genes that are translationally regulated by p53. The aim of this experiment is to compare translational efficiencies in cancer cells that are p53 WT, p53-/-, or p53 R175H, in response to doxorubicin.

SPECtre: a spectral coherence-based classifier of actively translated transcripts from ribosome profiling sequence data

Project description:Active protein translation can be assessed and measured using ribosome profiling sequencing strategies. Existing approaches make use of sequence fragment length or frame occupancy to differentiate between active translation and background noise, however they do not consider additional characteristics inherent to the technology which limits their overall accuracy. Here, we present an analytical tool that models the overall tri-nucleotide periodicity of ribosomal occupancy using a classifier based on spectral coherence. Our software, SPECtre, examines the relationship of normalized ribosome profiling read coverage over a rolling series of windows along a transcript against an idealized reference signal. A comparison of SPECtre against current methods on existing and new data shows a marked improvement in accuracy for detecting active translation and exhibits overall high sensitivity at a low false discovery rate. Classification of actively translated transcripts in ribosome profiling data derived from human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, and data previously published derived from mouse embryonic stem cells and zebrafish embryos.

mitoRibo-seq and RNA-seq of parental and MRM2 knockout HEK 293T Flp-In T-REx cells

Project description:Methyltransferase MRM2 methylates the 2’-hydroxyl group of ribonucleotide U1369 of human 16S mt-rRNA. Mutations in MRM2 have been implicated in human mitochondrial-related disease. This study investigates the role of MRM2 in the biogenesis and function of human mitochondrial ribosomes. Absence of MRM2 leads to a severe defect in mitochondrial translation, with the mtLSU being trapped in immature assembly states.

Tunable protein synthesis by transcript isoforms in human cells (Transcript Isoforms in Polysomes sequencing: TrIP-seq)

Project description:Eukaryotic genes generate multiple mRNA transcript isoforms though alternative transcription, splicing, and polyadenylation. However, the relationship between human transcript diversity and protein production is complex as each isoform can be translated differently. We fractionated a polysome profile and reconstructed transcript isoforms from each fraction, which we term Transcript Isoforms in Polysomes sequencing (TrIP-seq). Analysis of these data revealed regulatory features that control ribosome occupancy and translational output of each transcript isoform. We extracted a panel of 5â?² and 3â?² untranslated regions that control protein production from an unrelated gene in cells over a 100-fold range. Select 5â?² untranslated regions exert robust translational control between cell lines, while 3â?² untranslated regions can confer cell-type-specific expression. These results expose the large dynamic range of transcript-isoform-specific translational control, identify isoform-specific sequences that control protein output in human cells, and demonstrate that transcript isoform diversity must be considered when relating RNA and protein levels. Total cytoplasmic and eight polysomal fractions of RNA were purified from HEK 293T cells in biological duplicate. Ribosomal RNA was depleted using Ribo-Zero (Human/Mouse/Rat; Epicenter) and libraries were prepared using the TruSeq RNA v2 kit (RS-122-2001; Illumina) skipping the polyA selection step. Reads are paired-end 75bp and sequencing adapters are GATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCTGAACTCCAGTCAC (read1) and AGATCGGAAGAGCGTCGTGTAGGGAAAGAGTGT (read2).

mRNA cap methyltransferase, RNMT-RAM, promotes RNA pol II transcription

Project description:mRNA cap addition occurs early during RNA pol II transcription, facilitating pre-mRNA processing and translation. We report that the mammalian mRNA cap methyltransferase, RNMT-RAM, promotes RNA pol II transcription, independently of mRNA capping and translation. In cells, sub-lethal suppression of RNMT-RAM reduces RNA pol II occupancy, net mRNA synthesis and pre-mRNA levels. Conversely, expression of RNMT-RAM increases transcription independently of cap methyltransferase activity. In isolated nuclei, recombinant RNMT-RAM stimulates transcriptional output; this requires the RAM RNA-binding domain. RNMT-RAM interacts with nascent transcripts along their entire length and with transcription associated factors including RNA pol II subunits, SPT4, SPT6 and PAFc. Suppression of RNMT-RAM inhibits transcriptional markers including histone H2B K120 ubiquitination, H3 K4 and K36 methylation, RNA pol II S5 and S2 phosphorylation and PAFc recruitment. These findings suggest that multiple interactions between RNMT-RAM, RNA pol II factors and RNA along the transcription unit stimulate transcription.

Disruption of KCC2 in parvalbumin-positive interneurons causes fatal epilepsy in mice

Project description:Since many years, we are interested in the regulation of the intraneuronal chloride concentration. We were the first group reporting a full knockout of the KCl-co-transporter KCC2, which dies immediately after birth due to respiratory failure. Notably, KCC2 loss-of-function mutations are associated with inherited febrile seizures, severe genetic generalized epilepsy and epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures. Here, we used our floxed line to study the consequences of the disruption of KCC2 within parvalbumin-positive interneurons in mice. Remarkably, this leads to the disinhibition of PV-positive interneurons as evidenced by a decrease of E-S-Coupling and an increase in the sIPSC frequency. Nevertheless, these mice develop fatal epilepsy with progressive loss of parvalbumin-positive interneurons thus increasing network excitability.

Transformation of Naked Mole-Rat Cells

Project description:The naked mole-rat (NMR), Heterocephalus glaber, is a mouse-sized subterranean rodent native to East Africa. Research on NMRs is intensifying in an effort to gain leverage from their unusual physiology, long-life span and cancer resistance for the development of new theraputics. Few studies have attempted to explain the reasons behind the NMR’s cancer resistance, but most prominently Tian et al. reported that NMR cells produce high-molecular weight hyaluronan as a potential cause for the NMR’s cancer resistance. Tian et al. have shown that NMR cells are resistant to transformation by SV40 Large T Antigen (SV40LT) and oncogenic HRAS (HRASG12V), a combination of oncogenes sufficient to transform mouse and rat fibroblasts. We have developed a number of lentiviral vectors to deliver both these oncogenes and generated 106 different cell lines from five different tissues and eleven different NMRs, and report here that contrary to Tian et al.’s observation, NMR cells are susceptible to oncogenic transformation by SV40LT and HRASG12V. Our data thus point to a non-cell autonomous mechanism underlying the remarkable cancer resistance of NMRs. Identifying these non-cell autonomous mechanisms could have significant implications on our understanding of human cancer development.
