A slow transcription rate causes embryonic lethality and perturbs kinetic coupling of neuronal genes

ABSTRACT: The rate of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) elongation has an important role in the control of Alternative splicing (AS); however, the in vivo consequences of an altered elongation rate are unknown. Here, we generated mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) knocked-in for a slow elongating form of RNAPII. We show that a reduced transcriptional elongation rate results in early embryonic lethality in mice. Focusing on neuronal differentiation as a model, we observed that slow elongation impairs development of the neural lineage from ESCs, which is accompanied by changes in AS and in gene expression along this pathway. In particular, we found a crucial role for RNAPII elongation rate in transcription and splicing of long neuronal genes involved in synapse signaling. The impact of the kinetic coupling of RNAPII elongation rate with AS is more predominant in ESC-differentiated neurons than in pluripotent cells. Our results demonstrate the requirement for an appropriate transcriptional elongation rate to ensure proper gene expression and to regulate AS during development.

Here, we generated mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) knocked-in for a slow elongating form of RNAPII. We show that a reduced transcriptional elongation rate results in early embryonic lethality in mice and impairs the differentiation of ESCs into the neural lineage. This is accompanied by changes in splicing and in gene expression in ESCs and along the pathway of neuronal differentiation. In particular, we found a crucial role for RNAPII elongation rate in transcription and splicing of long neuronal genes involved in synapse signaling.

Excessive tubulin polyglutamylation causes neurodegeneration and perturbs neuronal transport.

Project description:Posttranslational modifications of tubulin are emerging regulators of microtubule functions. We have shown earlier that upregulated polyglutamylation is linked to rapid degeneration of Purkinje cells in mice with a mutation in the deglutamylating enzyme CCP1. How polyglutamylation leads to degeneration, whether it affects multiple neuron types, or which physiological processes it regulates in healthy neurons has remained unknown. Here, we demonstrate that excessive polyglutamylation induces neurodegeneration in a cell-autonomous manner and can occur in many parts of the central nervous system. Degeneration of selected neurons in CCP1-deficient mice can be fully rescued by simultaneous knockout of the counteracting polyglutamylase TTLL1. Excessive polyglutamylation reduces the efficiency of neuronal transport in cultured hippocampal neurons, suggesting that impaired cargo transport plays an important role in the observed degenerative phenotypes. We thus establish polyglutamylation as a cell-autonomous mechanism for neurodegeneration that might be therapeutically accessible through manipulation of the enzymes that control this posttranslational modification.

Targeted disruption of Rab1a causes early embryonic lethality.

Project description:Guanosine nucleotide diphosphate (GDP) dissociation inhibitor 2 (GDI2) regulates the GDP/guanosine triphosphate (GTP) exchange reaction of Rab proteins by inhibiting the dissociation of GDP and the subsequent binding of GTP. The present study aimed to determine the function of Rab1a in vivo, and thus generated mice with a trapped Rab1a gene. It was demonstrated that Rab1a is essential for embryonic development. It was also found that one functional Rab1a allele was sufficient for development in a heterozygous murine embryo, whereas a double mutant led to embryonic lethality. The dissection of uteri on embryonic day (E)10.5‑14.5 yielded no homozygous embryos, indicating that homozygotes die between E10.5 to E11.5. The gene trap construct contains a β‑galactosidase/neomycin reporter gene, allowing for heterozygotes to be stained for β‑galactosidase to determine the tissue‑specific expression of Rab1a. Rab1a was found to be highly expressed in the small intestine of both adult mice and embryos, although its expression levels were low in the brains of embryos. Moreover, there was no significant change in cytokine production and survival in wild‑type and heterozygous Rab1a+/‑ mice following a challenge with lipopolysaccharide. On the whole, the present study demonstrates that the disruption of the Rab1a gene causes embryonic lethality and homozygotes die between E10.5 and E11.5, suggesting that Rab1a is essential for the early development of mouse embryos.

Targeted disruption of Gdi2 causes early embryonic lethality.

Project description:IntroductionGDI2 regulates the GDP/GTP exchange reaction of Rab proteins by inhibiting the dissociation of GDP and the subsequent binding of GTP, dysregulation of GDI2 has been reported in many different cancers. Recently, we found that GDI2 bound to the ITIM domain of Siglec-G under normal homeostasis, whereas Rab1a was recruited to the ITIM domain during bacterial infection. Therefore, GDI2 and Rab1a may regulate the immune response through interaction with the ITIM domain during bacterial infection. However, the regulation of the inflammatory response by GDI2 in vivo and its regulatory mechanism remain unknown.MethodsWe generated a Gdi2 null mutant mouse with a trapped Gdi2 gene and examined the expression by X-gal and immunohistochemistry staining. TUNEL staining was used to determine the apoptosis cells.ResultsHere we show that Gdi2 is essential for embryonic development. One functional Gdi2 allele is sufficient for murine embryo development, but complete loss of Gdi2 leads to embryonic lethality. Developmental retardation of Gdi2-/- mice is apparent at E10.5 to E14.5, with no viable Gdi2-/- embryos detected after E14.5. Histological analysis revealed extensive cell death and cell loss in Gdi2-/- embryos. Apoptosis was confirmed by staining with cleaved caspase-3, suggesting that Gdi2 maintain homeostasis by regulating the apoptosis of the cells. There was no significant difference in cytokine production and survival between wild-type and Gdi2+/- mice after LPS challenge.DiscussionThese findings suggest that one Gdi2 allele is sufficient to maintain function. However, the detailed molecular mechanism underlying Gdi2 in regulating the embryonic development needs further identification.
