Characterizing RNA stability genome-wide through combined analysis of PRO-seq and RNA-seq data

ABSTRACT: The rate at which RNA molecules decay is a key determinant of cellular RNA concentrations, yet current approaches for measuring RNA half-lives are generally labor-intensive, limited in sensitivity, and/or disruptive to normal cellular processes. Here we introduce a simple method for estimating relative RNA half-lives that is based on two standard and widely available high-throughput assays: Precision Run-On and sequencing (PRO-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Our method treats PRO-seq as a measure of transcription rate and RNA-seq as a measure of RNA concentration, and estimates the rate of RNA decay required for a steady-state equilibrium.

Global SLAM-Seq for accurate mRNA decay determination and identification of NMD targets

Project description:Gene expression analysis requires accurate measurements of global RNA degradation rates, earlier problematic with methods disruptive to cell physiology. Recently, metabolic RNA labeling emerged as an efficient and minimally invasive technique applied in mammalian cells. Here, we have adapted SH-Linked Alkylation for the Metabolic Sequencing of RNA (SLAM-Seq) for a global mRNA stability study in yeast using 4-thiouracil pulse-chase labeling. We assign high-confidence half-life estimates for 67.5 % of expressed ORFs, and measure a median half-life of 9.4 min. For mRNAs where half-life estimates exist in the literature, their ranking order was in good agreement with previous data, indicating that SLAM-Seq efficiently classifies stable and unstable transcripts. We then leveraged our yeast protocol to identify targets of the Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway by measuring the change in RNA half-lives; instead of steady-state RNA level changes. With SLAM-Seq, we assign 580 transcripts as putative NMD targets, based on their measured half-lives in wild-type and upf3Δ mutants. We find 225 novel targets, and observe a strong agreement with previous reports of NMD targets, 61.2 % of our candidates being identified in previous studies.This indicates that SLAM-Seq is a simpler and more economic method for global quantification of mRNA half-lives. Our adaptation for yeast yielded global quantitative measures of the NMD effect on transcript half-lives, high correlation with RNA half-lives measured previously with more technically challenging protocols, and identification of novel NMD regulated transcripts that escaped prior detection.

Half-lives mRNA analysis of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia D457 and rng-deficient mutant

Project description:We calculated half-life values of mRNAs quantified by RNA-Seq by a suitable method of normalization. We determined the half-lives of more than 2200 mRNAs in the Stenotrophomonas maltophilia D457 wild-type strain and in an isogenic RNase G deficient mutant. Median half-lives were 2,74 and 3 min in the wild-type and the rng-deficient mutant respectively. We found an overall enhancement of half-life times of mRNAs when the gene encoding RNase G is lacking, showing that many RNAs are targets of RNase G in S. maltophilia. For achieving such goal, we propose a method for the normalization of RNA-Seq based studies on global bacterial mRNA decay.

Decay-initiating endoribonucleolytic cleavage by RNase Y is kept under tight control via sequence preference and sub-cellular localisation

Project description:Bacteria depend on efficient RNA turnover to rapidly alter gene expression, essentially for responding to changing conditions. Nevertheless, remarkably few details are known about the rate-limiting steps in targeting and decay of RNA. The membrane-anchored endoribonuclease RNase Y is a virulence factor in Gram- positive pathogens. We have obtained a global picture of RNase Y sequence specificity using RNA-seq and the novel transcriptome-wide EMOTE method. Ninety- nine endoribonucleolytic sites produced in vivo were precisely mapped, notably inside six out of seven genes whose half-lives increase the most in an RNase Y deletion mutant, and additionally to three separate transcripts encoding degradation ribonucleases, including RNase Y itself, suggesting a regulatory network. We show that RNase Y is required to initiate the major degradation pathway of a defined sub-set of transcripts that are inaccessible to other ribonucleases, but is prevented from promiscuous activity by membrane confinement and sequence preference for guanosines. Rnase Y activity in S. aureus is analysed on a genome wide scale under two perspectives: a RNA decay timecourse with mRNA-seq; and exact position of cleavage with an EMOTE assay (Exact Mapping Of Trancripts Ends)

Global analysis of mRNA isoform half-lives: identification of stabilizing and destabilizing elements in yeast

Project description:We measured half-lives of 21,248 mRNA 3’ isoforms in yeast by rapidly depleting RNA polymerase II from the nucleus and performing direct RNA sequencing throughout the decay process. Interestingly, the half-lives of mRNA isoforms from the same gene, including nearly identical isoforms, often vary widely. Based on clusters of isoforms with different half-lives, we identify hundreds of sequences conferring stabilization or destabilization upon mRNAs terminating downstream. One class of stabilizing element is a polyU sequence that can interact with poly(A) tails, inhibit the association of poly(A) binding protein, and confer increased stability upon introduction into ectopic transcripts. More generally, destabilization and stabilization elements are linked to the degree to which the poly(A) tail can engage in double-stranded structures. Isoforms engineered to fold into 3’ stem-loop structures not involving the poly(A) tail exhibit even longer half-lives. We suggest that double-stranded structures at the 3’ ends are a major determinant of mRNA stability. Half-lives of 21,248 mRNA 3’ isoforms in yeast were measured by rapidly depleting RNA polymerase II from the nucleus and performing direct RNA sequencing throughout the decay process.

Modelling global mRNA dynamics during Drosophila embryogenesis reveals a relationship between mRNA degradation and P-bodies

Project description:Regulation of mRNA degradation is critical for a diverse array of cellular processes and developmental cell fate decisions. Although many methods for determining mRNA half-lives rely on transcriptional inhibition or metabolic labelling, these manipulations can influence half-lives or introduce errors in the measurements. Here we use a non-invasive method for estimating mRNA half-lives globally in the early Drosophila embryo using a total RNA-seq time series and Gaussian process regression to model the dynamics of premature and mature mRNAs.

Metabolic labeling of RNAs uncovers hidden features and dynamics of the Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome [ERIC]

Project description:We provide evidence that 5-EU metabolic labeling of Arabidopsis RNAs can be used for pulse-chase experiments, which allowed us to determine Arabidopsis RNA half-lives genome-wide without chemical inhibition of transcription. Similar to BRIC-Seq, we performed 5-EU IP chase (ERIC)-Seq in seedlings of A. thaliana. Hierarchical clustering of gene expression values allowed us to define at least five clusters of mRNAs that exhibited distinct degradation kinetics. To determine the RNA half-lives of each group, we applied an exponential decay model and a locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOWESS) and calculated the time where the concentration was halved. It became obvious that the half-lives determined by ERIC-Seq are much shorter than the ones determined after treatment with cordycepin or actinomycin D, respectively. We found that genes belonging to cluster A exhibiting the shortest half-lives are enriched in genes transcribed into non-coding RNAs, stress-related genes, genes involved in hormonal pathways and the metabolism of polyamines, which are also involved in stress responses. On the contrary, genes from cluster E, which have the longest half-lives, are specifically enriched in genes responsible for mitochondrial and plastic functions as well as primary metabolism (such as the TCA cycle)

Expression data from RNA half-life experiments in Prochlorococcus

Project description:RNA decay was measured in Prochlorococcus after inhibition of transcription by rifampicin using customized Affymetrix gene expression arrays. RNA turnover plays an important role in the gene regulation of microorganisms and influences their speed of acclimation to environmental changes. We investigated whole-genome RNA stability of Prochlorococcus, a relatively slow-growing marine cyanobacterium doubling approximately once a day, which is extremely abundant in the oceans. Using a combination of microarrays, quantitative RT-PCR and a new algorithm for determining RNA decay rates, we found a median half-life of 2.4 min and a median decay rate of 2.6 min for expressed genes – two-fold faster than that reported for any organism. The shortest transcript half-life (33 seconds) was for a gene of unknown function, while some of the longest (ca. 18 min) were for highly expressed genes. Genes organized in operons displayed intriguing mRNA decay patterns, such as increased stability, and delayed onset of decay with greater distance from the transcriptional start site. The same phenomenon was observed on a single probe resolution for genes greater than 2 kb. We hypothesize that the fast turnover relative to generation time in Prochlorococcus may enable a swift response to environmental changes through rapid recycling of nucleotides, which could be advantageous in nutrient poor oceans. Our growing understanding of RNA half-lives will inform on the modelling of cell processes and help interpret the growing bank of metatranscriptomic studies of wild populations of Prochlorococcus. The surprisingly complex decay patterns of large transcripts reported here, and the method developed to describe them, will open new avenues for the investigation and understanding of RNA decay for all organisms.
