Dynamic FMR1 granule phase switch instructed by m6A modification contributes to maternal RNA decay

ABSTRACT: Maternal RNA degradation is critical for embryogenesis and is tightly controlled by maternal RNA-binding proteins. Fragile X mental-retardation protein (FMR1) binds target mRNAs to form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes/granules that control various biological processes, including early embryogenesis. However, how FMR1 recognizes target mRNAs and how FMR1-RNP granule assembly/disassembly regulates FMR1-associated mRNAs remain elusive. Here we show that Drosophila FMR1 preferentially binds mRNAs containing m6A-marked “AGACU” motif with high affinity to contributes to maternal RNA degradation. The high-affinity binding largely depends on a hydrophobic network within FMR1 KH2 domain. Importantly, this binding greatly induces FMR1 granule condensation to efficiently recruit unmodified mRNAs. The degradation of maternal mRNAs then causes granule de-condensation, allowing normal embryogenesis. Our findings reveal that sequence-specific mRNAs instruct FMR1-RNP granules to undergo a dynamic phase-switch, thus contributes to maternal mRNA decay. This mechanism may represent a general principle that regulated RNP-granules control RNA processing and normal development.

L-bodies are novel RNA-protein condensates driving RNA transport in Xenopus oocytes

Project description:RNP granules are membrane-less compartments within cells, formed by phase separation, that function as regulatory hubs for diverse biological processes. However, the mechanisms by which RNAs and proteins interact to promote RNP granule assembly and function in vivo remain unclear. In Xenopus laevis oocytes, maternal mRNAs are transported as large RNPs to the vegetal hemisphere of the developing oocyte, where local translation is critical for proper embryonic patterning. Here, we demonstrate that vegetal transport RNPs represent a new class of cytoplasmic RNP granule, termed Localization-bodies (L-bodies). We show that L-bodies are multiphase RNP granules, containing a dynamic liquid-like protein-containing phase surrounding a non-dynamic RNA-containing substructure. Our results support a role for RNA as a critical scaffold component within these RNP granules and suggest that cis-elements within localized mRNAs may drive subcellular RNA localization through control over phase behavior.

Proteomic Analysis of fly brain cytoplasmic RNP granules containing the lncRNA mimi

Project description:In neurons, mRNAs and associated RNA-binding proteins assemble into ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules essential to regulate mRNA trafficking, local translation, and turnover. Dysregulation of RNA-protein condensation can disturb synaptic plasticity. We report that the novel lncRNA mimi is a constitutive and essential component of large cytoplasmic condensates (RNP granules) in fly neurons that are biochemically enriched by differential centrifugation. Here, employing relative iBAQ quantification we carry out a differential proteomic analysis of cytoplasmic RNP granules in wild-type versus delta-mimi mutant fly brains. Brain lysates from wild-type and mutant flies serve as a general proteome input control.

RNA self-assembly contributes to stress granule formation and defining the stress granule transcriptome

Project description:Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules are non-membrane bound organelles thought to assemble by protein-protein interactions of RNA-binding proteins. We present evidence that a wide variety of RNAs self-assemble in vitro into either liquid-liquid phase separations or more stable assembles, referred to as RNA tangles. Self-assembly in vitro is affected by RNA length, ionic conditions, and sequence. Remarkably, self-assembly of yeast RNA in vitro under physiological salt mimics the composition of mRNAs within yeast stress granules. This suggests that the biophysical principles that drive RNA self-assembly in vitro contribute to determining the stress granule transcriptome. Consistent with RNA self-assembly contributing to RNP granule formation, an excess of purified RNA injected into C. elegans syncytium coalesces into droplet-like assemblies. We suggest that diverse RNA-RNA interactions in trans contribute to RNP granule formation and may explain the prevalence of large RNA-protein assemblies in eukaryotic cells.

Transcriptome-wide comparison of stress granules and P-bodies reveals that translation plays a major role in RNA partitioning

Project description:The eukaryotic cytosol contains multiple RNP granules including P-bodies and stress granules. Three different methods have been used to describe the transcriptome of stress granules or P-bodies, but how these methods compare, and how RNA partitioning occurs between P-bodies and stress granules has not been addressed. Herein, we compare the analysis of the stress granule transcriptome based on differential centrifugation, with and without subsequent stress granule immunopurification. We find that while differential centrifugation alone gives a first approximation of the stress granule transcriptome, this methodology contains non-specific transcripts that play a confounding role in the interpretation of results. We also immunopurify and compare the RNAs in stress granules and P-bodies under arsenite stress and compare those results to the P-body transcriptome described under non-stress conditions. We find that the P-body transcriptome is dominated by poorly translated mRNAs under non-stress conditions, but during arsenite stress, when translation is globally repressed, the P-body transcriptome is very similar to the stress granule transcriptome. This suggests that translation is a dominant factor in targeting mRNAs into both P-bodies and stress granules, and during stress, when most mRNAs are untranslated, the composition of P- bodies reflects this broader translation repression.

Proteomic Analysis of RAP (RNA Antisense Purification) isolated RNPs (RiboNucleotide Particles) harboring the novel lncRNA mimi

Project description:In neurons, mRNAs and associated RNA-binding proteins assemble into ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules essential to regulate mRNA trafficking, local translation, and turnover. Dysregulation of RNA-protein condensation can disturb synaptic plasticity. We report that the novel lncRNA mimi is a constitutive and essential component of large cytoplasmic condensates (RNP granules) in fly neurons. In order to identify direct mimi RNA binders we employ RAP assisted purification of mimi RNPs subsequent to UV-crosslinking of adult fly brain tissue (non UV irradiated samples serve as control). Applying relative Max Quant LFQ quantification (Max LFQ) we carry out a differential proteomic analysis of mimi RNP complexes in UV-irradiated versus non irradiated fly brains.

Recruitment of mRNAs to P granules by gelation with intrinsically-disordered proteins (RNAseq and ribosome profiling)

Project description:RNA granules are cellular condensates that contain RNAs and proteins. The mechanism that drive the recruitment of many mRNAs to RNA granules are not fully understood. Here we characterize the assembly and transcriptome of the germ (P) granules of C. elegans. We find that mRNAs are recruited into P granules by condensation with the intrinsically-disordered protein MEG-3. MEG-3 binds ~500 mRNAs in C. elegans embryos in a sequence-independent manner that favors mRNAs with low ribosome coverage. Translational stress causes additional mRNAs to localize to P granules and translational activation correlates with P granule exit for two mRNAs coding for germ cell fate regulators. MEG-3/RNA condensates assembled in vitro are gel-like and trap mRNAs in a non-dynamic state. Our observations reveal similarities between P granules and stress granules and identify gelation with intrinsically-disordered proteins as a sequence-independent mechanism to enrich low-translation mRNAs in RNA granules

Identification of the stress granule transcriptome via RNA-editing in bulk S2 cells, single S2 cells and in Drosophila neurons

Project description:Stress granules are phase separated assemblies formed around mRNAs that have now been identified after stress granule purification from cell culture. Here, we present a purification free method to detect stress granules RNAs in single cells and in tissues, including those displaying cell heterogeneity. We adapted TRIBE (Target of RNA-binding proteins Identified by Editing) to detect stress-granule RNAs by fusing a stress-granule RNA-binding protein (FMR1) to the catalytic domain of an RNA-editing enzyme (ADAR). RNAs colocalized with this fusion are edited, producing mutations that are detectable by sequencing. We then show that this “in situ" method can reliably identify stress granule RNAs in single S2 cells and in Drosophila neurons, and that they encode cell cycle, transcription and splicing factors. The identification of stress granule RNAs without perturbation opens the possibility to examine cell-to-cell variability and identify the RNA content not only in stress granules, but also in other RNA based assemblies in single cells derived from tissues.

The long non-coding RNA mimi scaffolds neuronal granules to maintain nervous system maturity

Project description:RNA-binding proteins and messenger RNAs assemble into ribonucleoprotein granules that regulate mRNA trafficking, local translation, and turnover. The dysregulation of RNA-protein condensation disturbs synaptic plasticity and neuron survival, and has been widely associated with human neurological disease. Neuronal granules are thought to condense around particular proteins that dictate the identity and composition of each granule type. Here, we show in Drosophila that a previously uncharacterized long non-coding RNA, mimi, is required to scaffold large neuronal granules in the adult nervous system. Neuronal ELAV-like proteins directly bind mimi and mediate granule assembly, while Staufen maintains condensate integrity. mimi granules contain mRNAs and proteins involved in synaptic processes; granule loss in mimi mutant flies impairs nervous system maturity, neuropeptide-mediated signaling and causes phenotypes of neurodegeneration. Our work reports the first architectural RNA for a neuronal granule and provides a handle to interrogate functions of a condensate independently from those of its constituent proteins.
