Sequestration of microRNA-mediated target repression by the Ago2-associated RNA binding protein FAM120A

ABSTRACT: Argonaute (Ago) proteins interact with various binding partners and play a pivotal role in microRNA (miRNA)-mediated silencing pathways. By utilizing immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry to determine cytoplasmic Ago2 protein complexes in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), we identified a putative RNA-binding protein FAM120A (also known as OSSA/C9ORF10) as an Ago2 interacting protein. Individual nucleotide resolution Cross-Linking and ImmunoPrecipitation (iCLIP) analysis revealed that FAM120A binds to homopolymeric tracts in 3´ UTRs of about 2,000 mRNAs, particularly poly(G) sequences. Comparison of FAM120A iCLIP and Ago2 iCLIP reveals that greater than one-third of mRNAs bound by Ago2 in mESCs are co-bound by FAM120A. Furthermore, such FAM120A-bound Ago2 target genes are not subject to Ago2-mediated target degradation. Reporter assays suggest that the 3´ UTRs of several FAM120A-bound miRNA target genes are less sensitive to Ago2-mediated target repression than those of FAM120A-unbound miRNA targets and FAM120A modulates them via its G-rich target sites. These findings suggest that Ago2 may exist in multiple protein complexes with varying degrees of functionality.

Identification of Rbfox1 binding in the cytoplasm of neurons by iCLIP

Project description:Human genetic studies have identified the neuronal RNA binding protein, Rbfox1, as a candidate gene for autism spectrum disorders. While Rbfox1 functions as a splicing regulator in the nucleus, it is also alternatively spliced to produce cytoplasmic isoforms. To investigate cytoplasmic Rbfox1, we knocked down Rbfox proteins in mouse neurons and rescued with cytoplasmic or nuclear Rbfox1. Transcriptome profiling showed that nuclear Rbfox1 rescued splicing changes induced by knockdown, whereas cytoplasmic Rbfox1 rescued changes in mRNA levels. iCLIP-seq of subcellular fractions revealed that in nascent RNA Rbfox1 bound predominantly to introns, while cytoplasmic Rbox1 bound to 3' UTRs. Cytoplasmic Rbfox1 binding increased target mRNA stability and translation, and overlapped significantly with miRNA binding sites. Cytoplasmic Rbfox1 target mRNAs were enriched in genes involved in cortical development and autism. Our results uncover a new Rbfox1 regulatory network and highlight the importance of cytoplasmic RNA metabolism to cortical development and disease. In this data set, we included the data from iCLIP-seq experiments. We performed iCLIP procedures to identify Rbfox1 binding in the cytoplasm. Cultured mouse forebrain neurons were irradiated with UV and a cytoplasmic fraction was purified for immunoprecipitation. An anti-Rbfox1 antibody was used to immunoprecipitate Rbfox1 target RNAs and an anti-Flag antibody was used as control. Two samples were analyzed.

Genome-wide analysis of miRNA-targeted cellular NMD substrates in HeLa cell

Project description:Analysis of miRNA-targeted cellular NMD substrates in HeLa cell. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that endogenous NMD substrates containing long 3' untranslated region may targeted for miRNA. Results provide important information expanding the roles of miRISC in the posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression: a new cross-talk between miRNA-mediated gene silencing and NMD. ABSTRACT: Imperfect base-pairing between microRNA (miRNA) and the 3â-untranslated region (3âUTR) of target mRNA triggers translational repression of the target mRNA. Here, we provide evidence that human Argonaute 2 (Ago2) targets cap-binding protein (CBP)80/20- and exon junction complex (EJC)-bound mRNAs and inhibits nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), which is tightly restricted to CBP80/20-bound mRNAs. Furthermore, microarray analyses reveal that a subset of cellular transcripts, which are expected to be targeted for NMD, is stabilized by miRNA-mediated gene silencing. The regulation of NMD by miRNAs will shed light on a new post-transcriptional regulation mechanism of gene expression in mammalian cells Total RNA obtained from HeLa cells with downregulation of Ago2 or Ago2/UPF1 by siRNA. The up- or down-regulated transcripts were compared to control siRNA treated HeLa cell RNA extract. Significant transcripts were confirmed by replication.

Loss of Lamin A leads to the nuclear translocation of AGO2 and compromised RNA interference

Project description:In mammals, RNA interference (RNAi) was historically studied as a cytoplasmic event, however, in the last decade growing number of reports convincingly show nuclear localization of the AGO proteins. Nevertheless, the mechanism and the extent of nuclear RNAi remains to be fully elucidated. We found that reduced Lamin A levels significantly induced nuclear influx of AGO2 in SHSY5Y neuroblastoma and A375 melanoma cancer cell lines, which normally have no nuclear AGO2. Lamin A KO manifested a more pronounced effect in SHSY5Y cells compared to A375 evident by changes in cell morphology, increased cell proliferation and oncogenic miRNA expression. Furthermore, in SHSY5Y cells, AGO fPAR-CLIP in Lamin A KO cells revealed significantly reduced activity of RNAi. Further exploration of the nuclear AGO interactome by mass spectrometry indicated that AGO2 is in complex with FAM120A, an RNA binding protein and known interactor of AGO2. By performing FAM120A fPAR-CLIP we discovered that FAM120A co-binds AGO targets and that this competition reduces the activity of RNAi. Therefore, loss of Lamin A triggers nuclear AGO2 translocation, RNAi impairment and selective upregulation of oncogenic miRNAs to facilitate cancer cell proliferation.

An Argonaute phosphorylation cycle promotes microRNA-mediated silencing [GeCKO screen]

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) perform critical functions in normal physiology and disease by associating with Argonaute proteins and downregulating partially complementary messenger RNAs (mRNAs). To identify new regulators of the miRNA pathway, we employed CRISPR-Cas9 genome-wide loss-of-function screening coupled with a fluorescent reporter of miRNA activity. Iterative rounds of screening revealed a novel mechanism whereby target engagement by Argonaute 2 (AGO2) triggers its hierarchical, multi-site phosphorylation by CSNK1A1 on a set of highly conserved residues (S824-S834), followed by rapid dephosphorylation by the ANKRD52-PPP6C phosphatase complex. Although genetic and biochemical studies demonstrated that AGO2 phosphorylation on these residues inhibits target mRNA binding, inactivation of this phosphorylation cycle globally impairs miRNA-mediated silencing. Analysis of the transcriptome-wide binding profile of non-phosphorylatable AGO2 revealed a dramatic expansion of the target repertoire bound at steady-state, effectively reducing the active pool of AGO2 on a per target basis. These findings support a model in which an AGO2 phosphorylation cycle stimulated by target engagement regulates miRNA:target interactions to maintain the global efficiency of miRNA-mediated silencing.
