An improved method of constructing degradome library suitable for Illumina high-throughput sequencing platform

ABSTRACT: Post-transcriptional gene regulation is a critical layer of overall gene expression programs and microRNAs (miRNAs) play an indispensable role in this process by guiding cleavage on the messenger RNA targets. The miRNA-guided cleavage on the mRNA targets can be confirmed by analyzing the sequenced degradome or PARE or GMUCT libraries. However, high-throughput sequencing of PARE or degradome libraries is not as straightforward as sequencing small RNA libraries. Moreover, the currently used degradome or PARE methods utilize Mme1 restriction site and the resulting fragments are only 20-nt long, which often poses difficulty in distinguishing between the family members of the same gene family. In this modified degradome protocol, EcoP15I recognition site is introduced to the 3' end of the 5’RNA adaptor of TruSeq small RNA library, the double strand DNA adaptor sequence is modified to suit with the ends generated by the EcoP15I. These modifications allow amplification of the degradome library by primer pairs used for small RNA library preparation. Therefore, degradome library generated using this protocol can be sequenced as easily as small RNA library, and the resulting tag length is ~27-nt, which is longer than previous methods (20-nt). The protocol allows sequencing small RNA and degradome libraries simultaneously. Overall design: Examination of degraded polyA RNA with a monophospahate at 5’end. These RNA is ligated to an RNA adapter consisting Ecop15I recognition site at 3’end. After ligation and RT-PCR, the PCR product was digested with Ecop15I and then ligated to a double-stranded DNA oligo. The final degradome library is enriched by primer pairs used for small RNA library preparation. Therefore, the generated degradome library can be sequenced as easily as small RNA library using Illumina sequencing platform.

Project description:Background:Post-transcriptional gene regulation is one of the critical layers of overall gene expression programs and microRNAs (miRNAs) play an indispensable role in this process by guiding cleavage on the messenger RNA targets. The transcriptome-wide cleavages on the target transcripts can be identified by analyzing the degradome or PARE or GMUCT libraries. However, high-throughput sequencing of PARE or degradome libraries using Illumina platform, a widely used platform, is not so straightforward. Moreover, the currently used degradome or PARE methods utilize MmeI restriction site in the 5' RNA adapter and the resulting fragments are only 20-nt long, which often poses difficulty in distinguishing between the members of the same target gene family or distinguishing miRNA biogenesis intermediates from the primary miRNA transcripts belonging to the same miRNA family. Consequently, developing a method which can generate longer fragments from the PARE or degradome libraries which can also be sequenced easily using Illumina platform is ideal. Results:In this protocol, 3' end of the 5'RNA adaptor of TruSeq small RNA library is modified by introducing EcoP15I recognition site. Correspondingly, the double-strand DNA (dsDNA) adaptor sequence is also modified to suit with the ends generated by the restriction enzyme EcoP15I. These modifications allow amplification of the degradome library by primer pairs used for small RNA library preparation, thus amenable for sequencing using Illumina platform, like small RNA library. Conclusions:Degradome library generated using this improved protocol can be sequenced easily using Illumina platform, and the resulting tag length is ~?27-nt, which is longer than the MmeI generated fragment (20-nt) that can facilitate better accuracy in validating target transcripts belonging to the same gene family or distinguishing miRNA biogenesis intermediates of the same miRNA family. Furthermore, this improved method allows pooling and sequencing degradome libraries and small RNA libraries simultaneously using Illumina platform.

Project description:MicroRNAs are important regulatory molecules in most eukaryotes and the identification of their mRNA targets is essential for their functional analysis. From inflorescence tissue of Arabidopsis, >28,000,000 signatures were sequenced from 5’ ends of polyadenylated products of mRNA decay. Within the set of ~27,000 transcripts included in the 3,500,000 non-redundant signatures, several previously predicted but non-validated miRNA targets were found. Like validated targets, most showed a single abundant signature at the miRNA cleavage site, particularly in libraries from a mutant deficient in the 5’ to 3’ exonuclease AtXRN4. Among the most unexpected miRNA targets discovered were miRNA precursor transcripts that are self-targeted by their own mature miRNA. Although the miRNAs of Arabidopsis have been extensively investigated, working in reverse from the cleaved targets, additional novel miRNAs were identified and validated. This deep and versatile approach will impact the study of other aspects of RNA processing beyond miRNA-target RNA pair analyses. Keywords: miRNA-target RNA pairs, Palallel analysis of RNA ends, PARE, SBS RNA from inflorescence tissue from wildtype Arabidopsis and xrn4 mutants was extracted. Following polyA RNA extraction, libraries for PARE were constructed. RNA from inflorescence tissue from wildtype Arabidopsis (Col-0), and rdr2 and dcl2,3,4 mutants was extracted. The material was submitted to Illumina and libraries were constructed for small RNAs. Individual small RNA libraries from inflorescences of Arabidopsis wildtype, rdr2, and dcl2/dcl3/dcl4 were sequenced with SBS at Illumina, Inc. The distribution of small RNA sizes in each library is in agreement with that published previously for the wild type or the respective mutants sequenced with MPSS or 454; however, the presence and abundances of some small RNAs may differ. This may be attributed to the use of different sequencing technologies with different depths, biological differences in the tissue used, or other unknown reasons. raw data requested but not provided for GSM280226 and GSM280227
