Project description:To elucidate the role of large sets of RBPs, we developed a comprehensive and diverse plasmid resource3 of 765 RBPs fused to the MS2 bacteriophage coat protein. When systematically tethered to an intronic 4 MS2 hairpin downstream ofan alternative exon, we identified 55 RBPs that significantly induced exon 5 retention.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs), formed by back-splicing in mammalian cells, are increasingly recognized for their roles in various biological processes and their potential in RNA therapeutics. However, the RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) that regulate circRNAs throughout their lifecycle remain largely unknown. Here, we present the most comprehensive evaluation to date, assessing 730 RBPs for their potential to regulate circRNAs. Using both luciferase-based and qPCR assays, we uncover a range of potential regulatory mechanisms. We identify 296 RBPs that encompass diverse components of circRNA metabolism including biogenesis, nuclear export, translation and degradation. Our findings show that LARP4B universally enhances circRNA translation, while ANXA2 enhances circRNA translation in a cell type-specific manner, shedding light on advancing circRNA therapeutic vector design. Moreover, we identify RBM15 as a multifaceted regulator of circRNAs, promoting their biogenesis via interactions with SRSF proteins and retaining circRNAs in the nucleus through RNA-dependent interactions with IGF2BP1. Notably, RBM15 binds directly to exonic regions near back-splicing junctions, and is a conserved RBP regulator of circRNA biogenesis. These insights advance our understanding of the trans-regulators in circRNA biogenesis and metabolism and offer new avenues for RNA therapeutic development.

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) modulate alternative splicing outcomes to determine isoform expression and cellular survival. To identify RBPs that directly drive alternative exon inclusion, we evaluated 718 human RBPs with tethered function luciferase-based splicing reporter assays to identify 58 candidates, including known splicing factors such as RBFOX and serine-arginine proteins. We performed enhanced CLIP, RNA-seq, and affinity purification-mass spectrometry to investigate a subset of the 11 candidates with no prior association with splicing. Integrative analysis of these assays indicated the surprising roles of TRNAU1AP, SCAF8, and RTCA in modulating hundreds of endogenous splicing events. We also leveraged our tethering assays and top candidates to identify potent and compact exon inclusion activation domains for splicing modulation applications. Using identified domains, we engineered programmable fusion proteins which outperformed current artificial splicing factors at manipulating inclusion of reporter and endogenous exons. Altogether, our tethering approach characterized the ability of RBPs to induce exon inclusion and yielded new molecular parts for programmable splicing control.

Project description:RNA transport and local translation provide spatial control of gene expression, and RNA binding proteins (RBPs) act as critical adapters in this multi-step process. Muscleblind-like (MBNL) RNA binding proteins, implicated in Myotonic Dystrophy and cancer, localize RNAs to myoblast membranes and distal neurites, through unknown mechanisms. We found that MBNLs form motile and anchored granules in neurons and myoblasts, and selectively associate with kinesins Kif1bα and Kif1c through its zinc finger (ZnF) domains. Other RBPs with similar ZnFs also associate with these kinesins, implicating a motor-RBP specificity code. Live cell imaging and fractionation revealed that membrane anchoring is mediated through the unstructured carboxy-terminal tail of MBNL1. Both kinesin- and membrane-recruitment functions were reconstituted using MBNL-MS2 coat protein fusions; this approach, termed RBP Module Recruitment and Imaging (RBP-MRI), decouples RNA binding, kinesin recruitment, and membrane anchoring functions, while also establishing general strategies for studying multi-functional, modular domains of RBPs.
