Crosstalk between vrille transcripts, proteins and regulatory elements controlling circadian rhythms and development in Drosophila

ABSTRACT: The vrille (vri) gene encodes a bZIP transcriptional repressor that is required for Drosophila patterning and cell proliferation during development as well as circadian behavior in adults. Three alternate first exons produce five different vri transcripts, where first exons 1a and 1b initiate two transcripts during development that produce the 610aa short VRI isoform and first exon 1c initiates three transcripts in adults that produce the 729aa long VRI isoform. To test whether long VRI is necessary for circadian clock function, we generated a mutant (vriΔ679) that eliminates transcripts encoding long VRI. The vriΔ679 mutant is viable, confirming that developmental functions of vri are driven by transcripts from exons 1a/1b, yet behavioral rhythms persist in vriΔ679 flies, demonstrating that vri transcripts encoding short VRI are sufficient for clock output. E-box regulatory elements upstream of exon 1c that drive rhythmic transcription in adults are also required for development, implying that these E-boxes also drive vri transcription from exons 1a/1b. Surprisingly, there is almost no long VRI present in adults even though the vast majority of transcripts encode long VRI, apparently because the ATG start codon for long VRI has a poor Kozak sequence context. Consequently, short VRI is the predominant isoform in adults and is sufficient for clock output. We conclude that vri-ADF transcripts driven by E-boxes upstream of exon 1c primarily control circadian rhythms by producing short VRI , whereas vri-E transcripts that are also regulated by E-boxes upstream of exon 1c mediate developmental patterning/cell proliferation through short VRI.

Wide spread and efficient co-transcriptional splicing facilitated by multiple exons

Project description:Pre-mRNA splicing is important for gene expression in most eukaryotic organisms. Regulation occurs during pre-mRNA splicing greatly expanded the transcriptome complexity. Recent studies from Mammals, Drosophila and Yeast showed that the majority of introns are spliced co-transcriptionally. However, in plant the nature of co-transcriptionally splicing (CTS) and its regulation is still largely unknown. Here, through sequencing the chromatin-bound RNA (CB-RNA-seq), we studied the feature of CTS in Arabidopsis. We found CTS is widespread in Arabidopsis seedlings and a large proportion of alternative splicing events are determined co-transcriptionally. We found the CTS efficiency correlate with gene expression level, chromatin landscape and most surprisingly, the number of intron/exon of individual genes, whilst independent of gene length. In combination with iCLIP analysis, we found splicing regulator RZ-1B/1C promotes efficient CTS of thousands genes involving direct binding mainly to the exonic sequences. Interestingly, for many cases, the splicing promotion activity of RZ-1C does not associate with its binding to the regions immediately adjacent to the regulated intron. We propose a model of plant gene splicing, where multiple exon of individual gene is in favour of efficient CTS likely involving RZ-1C cooperative interactions with many exons and splicing factors. Our work uncovers the robustness of plant CTS and highlighted the role of RZ-1C in this process.

mRNA-seq data of 14 days old Arabidopsis seedlings in Col-0 and At rz-1b At rz-1c double mutant

Project description:Nuclear-localized RNA binding proteins are involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism, which in turn modulates gene expression. However, the functions of nuclear-localized RNA binding proteins in plants are poorly understood. Here we report the functions of two proteins containing RNA recognition motifs, At RZ-1B and At RZ-1C, in Arabidopsis. At RZ-1B and At RZ-1C were localized to nuclear speckles and interacted with a spectrum of serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins through their C-termini. At RZ-1C preferentially bound to purine-rich RNA sequences in vitro through its N-terminal RNA recognition motif. Disrupting the RNA-binding activity of At RZ-1C with SR proteins through over-expression of the C-terminus of At RZ-1C conferred defective phenotypes similar to those observed in At rz-1b/At rz-1c double mutants, including delayed seed germination, reduced stature, and serrated leaves. Loss of function of At RZ-1B and At RZ-1C was accompanied by defective splicing of many genes and global perturbation of gene expression. In addition, we found that At RZ-1C directly targeted FLC, promoting efficient splicing of FLC introns and likely also repressing FLC transcription. Our findings highlight the critical role of At RZ-1B/1C in regulating RNA splicing, gene expression, and many key aspects of plant development via interaction with proteins including SR proteins. mRNA-seq to look at the transcriptome and splicing differences between wild type and At rz-1b At rz-1c mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana

Profiling lariat intermediates reveals genetic determinants of early and late co-transcriptional splicing

Project description:Long introns with short exons in vertebrate genes are thought to require spliceosome assembly across exons (exon definition), rather than introns, thereby requiring transcription of an exon to splice an upstream intron. Here, we developed CoLa-seq (co-transcriptional lariat sequencing) to investigate the timing and determinants of co-transcriptional splicing genome wide. Unexpectedly, 90% of all introns, including long introns, can splice before transcription of a downstream exon, indicating that exon definition is not obligatory for most human introns. Still, splicing timing varies dramatically across introns, and various genetic elements determine this variation. Strong U2AF2 binding to the polypyrimidine tract predicts early splicing, explaining exon definition-independent splicing. Together, our findings question the essentiality of exon definition and reveal features beyond intron and exon length that are determinative for splicing timing.

A long-read RNA-seq approach to identify novel transcripts of very large genes

Project description:RNA-seq is widely used for studying gene expression, but commonly used sequencing platforms produce short reads that only span up to two exon-junctions per read. This makes it difficult to accurately determine the composition and phasing of exons within transcripts. Although long-read sequencing improves this issue, it is not amenable to precise quantitation, which limits its utility for differential expression studies. We used long-read isoform sequencing combined with a novel analysis approach to compare alternative splicing of large, repetitive structural genes in muscles. Analysis of muscle structural genes that produce medium (Nrap - 5kb), large (Nebulin - 22 kb) and very-large (Titin - 106 kb) transcripts in cardiac muscle, and fast and slow skeletal muscles identified unannotated exons for each of these ubiquitous muscle genes. This also identified differential exon usage and phasing for these genes between the different muscle types. By mapping the in-phase transcript structures to known annotations, we also identified and quantified previously unannotated transcripts. Results were confirmed by endpoint PCR and Sanger sequencing, which revealed muscle-type specific differential expression of these novel transcripts. The improved transcript identification and quantification demonstrated by our approach removes previous impediments to studies aimed at quantitative differential expression of ultra-long transcripts.

Identification of FUS RNA targets in HeLa cells

Project description:We identified a landscape of FUS-binding RNA targets in HeLa cells. The majority of the FUS binding sites are in introns of pre-mRNAs and less are in exons and untranslated regions. Significant FUS binding in introns flanking cassette exons, long intron (>100kb) containing transcripts and noncoding RNAs were detected in our study. We specifically determined the function of FUS in regulating the alternative splicing of cassette exons. The top FUS-associated cassette exon is exon 7 of the pre-mRNA of FUS itself. We demonstrated that FUS is a repressor of its own exon 7 splicing. FUS autoregulates its own protein levels by exon 7 alternative splicing and nonsense mediated decay. Moreover, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) linked FUS mutants are deficient in FUS autoregulation.

Validation of alternatively spliced protein isoforms in human mesenchymal stem cells

Project description:Alternative splicing of mRNA diversifies the function of human proteins, with tissue- and cell-specific protein isoforms being the most difficult to validate. While transcriptomic experiments enable the detection of many alternatively spliced transcripts, it is not known if these transcripts have protein-coding potential. We recently published the PG Nexus pipeline, which facilitates high confidence validation of exons and exon-exon junctions of spliced transcripts by integrating transcriptomics and proteomics data. Using the PG Nexus, we analyzed undifferentiated human mesenchymal stem cells and compared the number of protein isoforms validated using different protein sequence database, including public online databases and RNA-seq derived databases. With significant overlaps with other databases, we identified 8,011 exons and 3,824 splice junctions with the Ensembl database. Both exonic and junction peptides were important for protein isoform validation. The Ensembl database consistently outperformed the other data sources, but predicted open reading frames from RNA-seq derived transcripts were comparable, with only 6 less splice junctions validated. Using proteotypic and isoform-specific peptides, we validated 462 protein isoforms. This number increases to 1,083 if multiple proteotypic peptides per protein are included. Multiplexing proteotypic peptides in SRM assays or similar experiments will increase the confidence and coverage of protein isoform validation experiments.

Gene architecture directs splicing outcome in separate nuclear spatial regions

Project description:How the splicing machinery defines exons or introns as the spliced unit has remained a puzzle for 30 years. Here we demonstrate that peripheral and central regions of the nucleus harbor genes with two distinct exon-intron GC content architectures that differ in the splicing outcome. Genes with low GC content exons, flanked by long introns with lower GC content, are localized in the periphery, and the exons are defined as the spliced unit. Alternative splicing of these genes results in exon skipping. In contrast, the nuclear center contains genes with a high GC content in the exons and short flanking introns. Most splicing of these genes occurs via intron definition, and aberrant splicing leads to intron retention. We demonstrate that the nuclear periphery and center generate different environments for the regulation of alternative splicing, and that two sets of splicing factors form discrete regulatory subnetworks for the two gene architectures. Our study connects 3D genome organization and splicing, thus demonstrating that exon and intron definition modes of splicing occur in different nuclear regions.

Gene architecture and sequence composition underpin selective dependency of long RNAs on components of the nuclear export pathway

Project description:The nuclear export pathway transports long RNAs produced in the nucleus to the cytoplasm. The core components of this pathway are thought to be required for export of virtually all polyadenylated RNAs. Here, we depleted different proteins that act in nuclear export in human cells, and quantified the transcriptome-wide consequences on RNA localization. Different genes exhibited substantially variable sensitivities, with depletion of NXF1 and TREX components causing some transcripts to become strongly retained in the nucleus while others were not affected. Specifically, NXF1 is preferentially required for export of single- or few-exon transcripts with long exons or high A/U-content, whereas depletion of TREX complex components preferentially affects spliced and G/C-rich transcripts. Using massively parallel reporter assays we identified short sequence elements that render transcripts dependent on NXF1 for their export, and identified synergistic effects of splicing and NXF1. These results revise the current model of how nuclear export shapes the distribution of RNA within human cells.
