RNA-seq of different tissues from wild-type and C/EBPα ΔuORF mutant African turquoise killifish Nothobranchius furzeri

ABSTRACT: The transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPα) regulates cell differentiation, proliferation, and function in various tissues, including the liver, adipose tissue, skin, lung, and hematopoietic system. Studies in rats, mice, humans, and chickens have shown that CEBPA mRNA undergoes alternative translation initiation, producing three C/EBPα protein isoforms. Two of these isoforms act as full-length transcription factors with N-terminal transactivation domains and a C-terminal dimerization and DNA-binding domain. The third isoform is an N-terminally truncated variant, translated from a downstream AUG codon. It competes with full-length isoforms for DNA binding, thereby antagonizing their activity. Expression of the truncated C/EBPα isoform depends on the initial translation of a short upstream open reading frame (uORF) in CEBPA mRNA and subsequent re-initiation at a downstream AUG codon, a process stimulated by mTORC1 signaling. We have generated C/EBPα ΔuORF mutant Nothobranchius furzeri fish and demonstrated that this genetic modification significantly extended both the median and maximal lifespan and improved the healthspan of males. Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed an upregulation of genes and pathways that are associated with healthspan and lifespan regulation in other species.

Translation initiation at a non-AUG start codon for mouse and human NELF-B

Project description:Negative elongation factor (NELF), a four-subunit protein complex in metazoan, plays an important role in regulating promoter-proximal pausing of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Genetic studies demonstrate that the B subunit of mouse NELF (NELF-B) is critical for embryonic development and homeostasis in adult tissue. We report here that both human and mouse NELF-B proteins are translated from a non-AUG codon upstream of the annotated AUG. This non-AUG codon sequence is conserved in mammalian NELF-B but not NELF-B orthologs of lower metazoan. The full-length and a truncated NELF-B that starts at the first AUG codon interact with the other three NELF subunits with comparable efficiency. Furthermore, these two forms of NELF-B have a similar impact on the transcriptomics and proliferation of mouse embryonic fibroblasts. These results strongly suggest that additional amino acid sequence upstream of the annotated AUG is dispensable for the essential function of NELF in supporting cell growth in vitro. While the majority of mouse adult tissues surveyed exclusively express the full-length NELF-B protein, mouse kidney only contains a truncated NELF-B protein with the same apparent size as the AUG-initiated version. This result raises the distinct possibility that translational initiation of mouse NELF-B is regulated in a tissue-dependent manner. triplicates for ATG-Nelf-B, triplicates for FL-Nelf-B

Dependence on Myb expression is attenuated in myeloid leukemia with N-terminal CEBPA mutations

Project description:Mutations altering the normal function of C/EBPα are frequent in acute myeloid leukaemia with normal karyotype. MYB, a cooperating partner of C/EBPα, is likewise heavily implicated in AML. Here we investigate how the relative requirement for the transcription factor MYB in AML relates to the particular combinations of wild type and mutated alleles of CEBPA. Through knockdown of Myb in murine cell lines modelling the spectrum of CEBPA mutations we show that the consequences of reduced Myb depend on the mutational status of Cebpa. Importantly, Myb knockdown fails to override the block in myeloid differentiation in cells with biallelic N-terminal C/EBPα mutations, demonstrating for the first time that the dependency on Myb observed in AML is much lower in leukaemia with this combination of mutations. By comparing genome-wide analyses of gene expression following Myb knockdown and ChIP-seq data for the binding of C/EBPα isoforms, we provide evidence for a functional cooperation between C/EBPα and Myb in the maintenance of the leukaemia state. This co-dependency breaks down when both alleles of CEBPA harbour N-terminal mutations, as a subset of C/EBPα-regulated genes only bind the short p30 C/EBPα isoform and, unlike other C/EBPα regulated genes, do so without a requirement for Myb.

Translation initiation site profiling reveals widespread synthesis of non-AUG-initiated protein isoforms in yeast

Project description:Genomic analyses in budding yeast have helped to define the foundational principles of eukaryotic gene expression, but have systematically excluded specific classes of potential coding regions, including those with non-AUG start codons. Without methods to define coding regions empirically, the prevalence of these non-canonical coding regions has been impossible to assess. Here, we applied an experimental approach to globally annotate translation initiation sites in yeast and identified a class of 149 genes that encode N-terminally extended alternate protein isoforms that result from translation initiation at non-AUG codons upstream of the annotated AUG start codon. These alternate isoforms are produced in concert with canonical isoforms and are translated with a high degree of specificity, resulting from initiation at only a small subset of possible start codons in 5’ leader regions. Their translation is enriched during meiosis, and is induced by low eIF5A levels, which are observed in this context. These findings reveal widespread production of non-canonical protein isoforms and, more generally, show unexpected complexity to the rules by which the budding yeast genome is decoded.

Gene expression changes after loss of C/EBPα in transformed HSCs [CEBPA RNA-seq]

Project description:RNAseq characterization of gene expression changes 72 hours after genomic excision of Cebpa in murine hematopoietic progenitors from Cebpaf/f;CreER mice transformed by Hoxa9/Meis1. In the presence of tamoxifen (4OHT), Cre-ER localizes to the nucleus of cells allowing for excision of Cebpa and loss of C/EBPα protein levels. Loss of C/EBPα leads to a decrease in cellular proliferation. Examination of gene expression by RNAseq in two conditions in biological replicates.

Arginine methylationof the p30 C/EBPα oncoprotein regulates progenitor proliferationand myeloid differentiation

Project description:The transcription factor CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPα) is a master regulator of myelopoiesis. CEBPA encodes a long (p42) and a truncated (p30) protein isoform from a single mRNA. Mutations that abnormally enhance expression of p30 are associated with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). We show by mutational analysis that three highly conserved arginine residues (R140,147,154) located at the p30 C/EBPα N-terminus, previously found to be methylated, are involved in myeloid lineage commitment, progenitor proliferation, and differentiation. The conservative amino acid substitution with lysine that retains the amino acid side chain charge enhanced progenitor proliferation, while a non-conservative substitution with uncharged side chains (alanine or leucine) impaired proliferation and enhanced granulopoietic differentiation. Analysis of protein-protein interactions (PPI) suggested that arginine methylation of p30 C/EBPα differentially determines its capacity to interact with SWI/SNF and MLL complexes. Pharmacological targeting of p30 C/EBPα arginine methylation may have clinical relevance in myeloproliferative and inflammatory diseases, in neutropenia, and in leukemic stem cells.

CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins alpha and beta directly regulate ovulation and selectively regulate gene expression in granulosa cells by preovulatory stage- and dose-dependent mechanisms

Project description:The preovulatory luteinizing hormone surge orchestrates complex cellular and molecular events leading to ovulation. CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins alpha and beta (C/EBPα/β) are transcription factors acutely induced by the luteinizing hormone surge and crucial for ovulation and granulosa cell luteinization. However, biological processes and their regulatory mechanisms downstream of C/EBPα/β in the preovulatory ovary are not completely understood. To address this knowledge gap, we generated Cebpa/bfl/fl;Pgr-Cre mutants and compared them with Cebpa/bfl/fl;Cyp19a1-Cre mutant female mice. The Cebpa/bfl/fl;Cyp19a1-Cre mutants have undetectable levels of C/EBPα/β throughout preovulatory stages and no ovulation, aligning with previous reports, while Cebpa/bfl/fl;Pgr-Cre mutants presented gradual deletion of C/EBPα/β during late preovulatory stage and reduced ovulation rate. Comparison of these two models indicates that sustained expression of C/EBPα/β throughout preovulatory stages is necessary for successful ovulation. This provides a unique opportunity to interrogate gene regulatory mechanisms by C/EBPα/β during different preovulatory time windows and the impact of dysregulating C/EBPα/β on ovulation-associated biological processes. Our study revealed that C/EBPα/β regulate gene expression and distinct biological functions via preovulatory stage-, dose-, and/or potentially isoform ratio- dependent mechanisms. These findings shed new light on the intricate gene regulation mechanisms by C/EBPα/β downstream of the LH surge.

Ribosome rescue factor PELOTA modulates translation start site choice and protein isoform levels of transcription factor C/EBPα [CRISPRi]

Project description:Translation initiation at alternative start sites can dynamically control the synthesis of two or more functionally distinct protein isoforms from a single mRNA. Alternate isoforms of the hematopoietic transcription factor C/EBPα produced from different start sites exert opposing effects during myeloid cell development. This alternative initiation depends on sequence features of the CEBPA transcript, including a regulatory upstream open reading frame (uORF), but the molecular basis is not fully understood. Here we identify trans-acting factors that affect C/EBPα isoform choice using a sensitive and quantitative two-color fluorescence reporter coupled with CRISPRi screening. Our screen uncovered a role for the ribosome rescue factor PELOTA (PELO) in promoting expression of the longer C/EBPα isoform, by directly removing inhibitory unrecycled ribosomes and through indirect effects mediated by the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase. Our work provides further mechanistic insights into coupling between ribosome recycling and translation reinitiation in regulation of a key transcription factor, with implications for normal hematopoiesis and leukemiagenesis.

eIF1 discriminates against suboptimal initiation sites to prevent excessive uORF translation genome-wide

Project description:The translation pre-initiation complex (PIC) scans the mRNA for an AUG codon in favorable context. Previous findings suggest that the factor eIF1 discriminates against non-AUG start codons by impeding full accommodation of Met-tRNAi in the P site of the 40S ribosomal subunit, necessitating eIF1 dissociation for start codon selection. Consistent with this, yeast eIF1 substitutions that weaken its binding to the PIC increase initiation at UUG codons on a mutant his4 mRNA and particular synthetic mRNA reporters; and also at the AUG start codon of the mRNA for eIF1 itself owing to its poor Kozak context. It was not known however whether such eIF1 mutants increase initiation at suboptimal start codons genome-wide. By ribosome profiling, we show that the eIF1-L96P variant confers increased translation of numerous upstream open reading frames (uORFs) initiating with either near-cognate codons (NCCs) or AUGs in poor context. The increased uORF translation is frequently associated with reduced translation of the downstream main coding sequences (CDS). Initiation is also elevated at the NCCs initiating N-terminal extensions on GRS1 and ALA1 mRNAs, and at a small set of main CDS AUG codons with especially poor context, including that of eIF1 itself. Thus, eIF1 acts throughout the yeast translatome to discriminate against NCC start codons and AUGs in poor context; and impairing this function enhances the repressive effects of uORFs on CDS translation and alters the ratios of protein isoforms translated from near-cognate versus AUG start codons.
