Revealing nascent RNA processing dynamics with nano-COP

ABSTRACT: During maturation, eukaryotic precursor RNAs undergo processing events including intron splicing, 3’-end cleavage, and polyadenylation. Here, we describe nanopore analysis of CO-transcriptional Processing (nano-COP), a method for probing the timing and patterns of RNA processing. An extension of native elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq), which quantifies transcription genome-wide through short-read sequencing of nascent RNA 3’ ends, nano-COP uses long-read nascent RNA sequencing to observe global patterns of RNA processing. First, nascent RNA is stringently purified through a combination of 4-thiouridine metabolic labeling and cellular fractionation. In contrast to cDNA or short-read–based approaches relying on reverse transcription or amplification, the sample is sequenced directly through nanopores to reveal the native context of nascent RNA. nano-COP identifies both active transcription sites and splice isoforms of single RNA molecules during synthesis, providing insight into patterns of intron removal and the physical coupling between transcription and splicing. The nano-COP protocol yields data within 3 days.

Human co-transcriptional splicing kinetics and coordination revealed by direct nascent RNA sequencing

Project description:Human genes have numerous exons that are differentially spliced within pre-mRNA. Understanding how multiple splicing events are coordinated across nascent transcripts requires quantitative analyses of transient RNA processing events in living cells. We developed nanopore analysis of CO-transcriptional Processing (nano-COP), in which nascent RNAs are directly sequenced through nanopores, exposing the dynamics and patterns of RNA splicing without biases introduced by amplification. nano-COP showed that in both human and Drosophila cells, co-transcriptional splicing occurs after RNA polymerase II transcribes several kilobases of pre-mRNA, suggesting that metazoan splicing transpires distally from the transcription machinery. Inhibition of the branch site recognition complex SF3B globally abolished co-transcriptional splicing in both species. Our findings revealed that splicing order does not strictly follow the order of transcription and is influenced by cis-regulatory elements. In human cells, introns with delayed splicing frequently neighbor alternative exons and are associated with RNA-binding factors. Moreover, neighboring introns in human cells tend to be spliced concurrently, implying that splicing occurs cooperatively. Thus, nano-COP unveils the organizational complexity of metazoan RNA processing.

POINT technology illuminates the processing of polymerase-associated intact nascent transcripts

Project description:Mammalian chromatin is the site of both RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription and coupled RNA processing. However, molecular details of such co-transcriptional mechanisms remain obscure, partly due to technical limitations in purifying authentic nascent transcripts. We present a new approach to purify and profile nascent RNA, called Polymerase Intact Nascent Transcript (POINT) technology. This three-pronged methodology maps nascent RNA 5’ends (POINT-5), establishes the kinetics of co-transcriptional splicing patterns (POINT-nano) and profiles whole transcription units (POINT-seq). In particular, we show by depletion of the nuclear exonuclease Xrn2 that this activity acts selectively on cleaved 5’P-RNA at polyadenylation sites. Furthermore, POINT-nano reveals that splicing occurs either immediately after splice site transcription or is delayed until Pol II transcribes downstream sequences. Finally, we connect RNA cleavage and splicing with either premature or full-length transcript termination. We anticipate that POINT technology will afford full dissection of the complexity of co-transcriptional RNA processing.

Long read sequencing of nascent RNA from S. cerevisiae and S. pombe

Project description:Long read SMRT cDNA sequencing of nascent RNA from exponentially growing S. cerevisiae and S. pombe cells was employed to obtain transcription elongation and splicing information from single transcripts. Nascent RNA was prepared from the yeast chromatin fraction (Carrillo Oesterreich, Preibisch, Neugebauer, Mol Cell 2010). The nascent 3â?? end was labeled with a 3â?? DNA adaptor through ligation. The adaptor sequence served as template for full-length reverse transcription and double-stranded cDNA was obtained in a PCR (gene-specific or transcriptome-wide). SMRT DNA sequencing libraries were prepared subsequently. Nascent RNA profiles for mainly intron-containing genes were generated with long-read SMRT cDNA sequencing.

Targeted paired-end sequencing of nascent RNA from S. cerevisiae

Project description:Targeted paired-end sequencing of cDNA from unfragmented nascent RNA from exponentially growing S. cerevisiae cells was employed to obtain Pol II transcription elongation and splicing information from single transcripts. Nascent RNA was prepared from the yeast chromatin fraction (Carrillo Oesterreich, Preibisch, Neugebauer, Mol Cell 2010) or enriched from total RNA with polyadenylated RNA depletion. The nascent 3â end was labeled with a 3â DNA adaptor through ligation. A PCR with a forward primer in the first exon of select intron-containing genes amplifies nascent transcripts of specific genes and ensures sequencing adaptor attachment for paired-end sequencing. With this approach co-transcriptional splicing progression with distance from the intron end could be analyzed for 87 genes. Note that the unmapped and mapped data also include genes that did not pass the read coverage requirements in SMIT analysis. Nascent RNA profiles for mainly intron-containing genes were generated with paired-end sequencing with Illumina HiSeq technology.

Widespread transcriptional readthrough caused by Nab2 depletion leads to chimeric transcripts with retained introns

Project description:Nascent RNA sequencing has recently revealed that pre-mRNA splicing can occur shortly after the intron emerges from RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Differences in co-transcriptional splicing profiles suggest regulation by cis- and/or trans-acting factors. Here we used Single Molecule Intron Tracking (SMIT) in budding yeast to identify a cohort of regulators by machine learning. One candidate, Nab2, displayed reduced co-transcriptional splicing of some pre-mRNAs when depleted. Unexpectedly, these splicing defects were attributable to readthrough transcription, which was revealed by long read sequencing of nascent RNA; individual readthrough transcripts induced by Nab2 depletion sometimes spanned multiple genes. Thus, Nab2 regulation of splicing was indirect. Moreover, unspliced transcripts displayed downstream readthrough in both control and Nab2-depleted cells, highlighting the coupling between splicing and 3′ end formation. We conclude that Nab2 is required for proper 3′ end processing, which ensures both transcription termination as well as proper splicing of downstream genes.

Organismal Benefits of Transcription Speed Control at Gene Boundaries

Project description:We modulate RNAPII transcription speed by point mutations in the second largest subunit of Arabidopsis RNAPII, NRPB2. Nascent transcription profiling revealed that accelerated RNAPII complexes clear stalling sites at both gene ends, resulting in read-through transcription. Accelerated nascent RNAPII transcription increased the association with 5'SS intermediates and improved splicing efficiency, supporting tight connections between transcription speed and co-transcriptional pre-RNA processing.

Native molecule sequencing by nano-ID reveals synthesis and stability of RNA isoforms

Project description:Eukaryotic genes often generate a variety of RNA isoforms that can lead to functionally distinct protein variants. The synthesis and stability of RNA isoforms is however poorly characterized. The reason for this is that current methods to quantify RNA metabolism use short-read sequencing that cannot detect RNA isoforms. Here we present nanopore sequencing-based Isoform Dynamics (nano-ID), a method that detects newly synthesized RNA isoforms and monitors isoform metabolism. nano-ID combines metabolic RNA labeling, long-read nanopore sequencing of native RNA molecules and machine learning. nano-ID derived RNA stability estimates enable a distinctive evaluation of stability determining factors such as sequence, poly(A)-tail length, RNA secondary structure, translation efficiency and RNA binding proteins. Application of nano-ID to the heat shock response in human cells reveals that many RNA isoforms change their stability. nano-ID also shows that the metabolism of individual RNA isoforms differs strongly from that estimated for the combined RNA signal at a specific gene locus. nano-ID enables studies of RNA metabolism on the level of single RNA molecules and isoforms in different cell states and conditions.

Alternative RNA Stuctures Formed During Transcription Depend on Elongation Rate and Modify RNA processing

Project description:Most RNA processing occurs co-transcriptionally. We interrogated nascent pol II transcripts by chemical and enzymatic probing, and determined how the “nascent RNA structureome” relates to splicing, A-I editing and transcription speed. RNA folding within introns and steep structural transitions at splice sites are associated with efficient co-transcriptional splicing. A slow pol II mutant elicits extensive remodeling into more folded conformations with increased A-I editing. Introns that become more structured at their 3’ splice sites get co-transcriptionally excised more efficiently. Slow pol II altered folding of intronic Alu elements where cryptic splicing and intron retention are stimulated, an outcome mimicked by UV which decelerates transcription. Slow transcription also remodeled RNA folding around alternative exons in distinct ways that predict whether skipping or inclusion is favored, even though it occurs post-transcriptionally. Hence co-transcriptional RNA folding modulates post-transcriptional alternative splicing. In summary the plasticity of nascent transcripts has widespread effects on RNA processing.
