The minor spliceosome is required for limb growth but not patterning

ABSTRACT: Diseases caused by mutations in components of the minor spliceosome frequently result in primordial dwarfism, where the limbs are stunted in size but retain pattern. We therefore sought to determine the role of the minor splieceosome in limb development by ablating an essential component, Rnu11, which encodes the U11 snRNA, in the mouse limb bud through Prrx1-Cre. We found that loss of U11 results in severe reduction in limb size at birth. However, mutant limbs retain proximo-distal patterning. Thus, we performed total RNAseq at E10.5 and E11.5 for both WT and mutant forelimb and hindlimb to determine the underlying molecular consequence of U11 loss and its effect on gene expression in the developing limb.

Minor spliceosome inactivation in the developing mouse cortex causes self-amplifying radial glial cell death and microcephaly.

Project description:Inactivation of the minor spliceosome has been linked to microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type 1 (MOPD1). To interrogate how minor intron splicing regulates cortical development, we employed Emx1-Cre to ablate Rnu11, which encodes the minor spliceosome-specific U11 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), in the developing cortex (pallium). Rnu11 cKO mice were born with microcephaly, caused by death of self-amplifying radial glial cells (RGCs). However, both intermediate progenitor cells (IPCs) and neurons were produced in the U11-null pallium. RNAseq of the pallium revealed elevated minor intron retention in the mutant, particularly in genes regulating cell cycle. Moreover, the only downregulated minor intron-containing gene (MIG) was Spc24, which regulates kinetochore assembly. These findings were consistent with the observation of fewer RGCs entering cytokinesis prior to RGC loss, underscoring the requirement of minor splicing for cell cycle progression in RGCs. Overall, we provide a potential explanation of how disruption of minor splicing might cause microcephaly in MOPD1.

Distinct functions for the paralogous RBM41 and U11/U12-65K proteins in the minor spliceosome

Project description:We identify RBM41 as a novel unique protein component of the minor spliceosome. RBM41 has no previously recognized cellular function but has been identified as a paralog of the U11/U12-65K protein, a known unique component of the minor spliceosome that functions during the early steps of minor intron recognition as a component of the U11/U12 di-snRNP. We show that both proteins use their highly similar C-terminal RRMs to bind to 3'-terminal stem-loops in U12 and U6atac snRNAs with comparable affinity. Our BioID data indicate that the unique N-terminal domain of RBM41 is necessary for its association with complexes containing DHX8, an RNA helicase, which in the major spliceosome drives the release of mature mRNA from the spliceosome. Consistently, we show that RBM41 associates with excised U12-type intron lariats, is present in the U12 mono-snRNP, and is enriched in Cajal bodies, together suggesting that RBM41 functions in the post-splicing steps of the minor spliceosome assembly/disassembly cycle. This contrasts with the U11/U12-65K protein, which uses the N-terminal region to interact with U11 snRNP during the intron recognition step. Finally, we show that while RBM41 knockout cells are viable, they show alterations in the splicing of U12-type introns, particularly differential U12-type 3' splice site usage. Together, our results highlight the role 3’-terminal stem-loop of U12 snRNA as a dynamic binding platform for the paralogous U11/U12-65K and RBM41 proteins, which function at distinct stages of minor spliceosome assembly/disassembly cycle.

The major and minor spliceosome interact to regulate alternative splicing [PBMCs]

Project description:Mutations in minor spliceosome components are linked to diseases such as Roifman syndrome, Lowry-Wood syndrome, and early-onset cerebellar ataxia (EOCA). Here we report that besides increased minor intron retention, Roifman syndrome and EOCA can also be characterized by elevated alternative splicing (AS) around minor introns. Consistent with the idea that the assembly/activity of the minor spliceosome informs AS in minor intron-containing genes (MIGs), inhibition of all minor spliceosome snRNAs led to upregulated AS. Notably, alternatively spliced MIG isoforms were bound to polysomes in the U11-null dorsal telencephalon, which suggested that aberrant MIG protein expression could contribute to disease pathogenesis. In agreement, expression of an aberrant isoform of the MIG Dctn3 by in utero electroporation, affected radial glial cell divisions. Finally, we show that AS around minor introns is executed by the major spliceosome and is regulated by U11-59K of the minor spliceosome, which forms exon-bridging interactions with proteins of the major spliceosome. Overall, we extend the exon-definition model to MIGs and postulate that disruptions of exon-bridging interactions might contribute to disease severity and pathogenesis.

Control of limb initiation and antero-posterior patterning by cooperation between Meis and Tbx transcription factors [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Meis1 and Meis2 are highly similar homeodomain transcription factors that regulate organogenesis through cooperation with Hox proteins. Overexpression experiments have suggested an essential role for Meis factors in limb proximo-distal patterning; however, loss-of-function experiments supporting this notion have not been reported. Meis1 and Meis2 are coexpressed during limb development, first in the lateral plate mesoderm, before limb induction, and then they become restricted to a proximal domain of the growing limb bud. Here, we report that complete double conditional Meis1/2 inactivation in the lateral plate mesoderm leads to limb agenesis. Meis factors cooperate with Tbx factors in this function, extensively co-binding with Tbx to genomic sites and co-regulating enhancers of fgf10, a critical factor in limb initiation. Limbs with three deleted Meis alleles develop a complete PD set of limb skeletal elements, but show proximal-specific skeletal hypoplasia and agenesis of posterior skeletal elements. This failure in posterior skeletal element specification reveals an early role of Meis factors in establishing the limb AP prepattern required for Shh activation at later stages. Our results uncover novel roles for Meis transcription factors in early limb development and identify their involvement in new molecular interaction networks that regulate organogenesis

Proteome analysis of claws, clawless toe tips and back skin of Xenopus tropicalis

Project description:The aim of the study was to determine the protein composition of cornified claws of the western clawed frog (Xenopus tropicalis) in comparison to clawless toe tips and back skin. Cornified claws develop on toes I, II, III of the hind limbs, which we refer to as hind limb inner (HI) toes. Toes IV, V of the hind limbs, here referred to as hind limb outer (HO) toes lack claws. Proteins were prepared from HI toe tips including claws, HO toe tips and back skin (BSK) of frogs each (F1, F2, F3) and subjected to proteomic analysis.
