Divergence in alternative polyadenylation between humans and chimpanzees contributes to gene regulatory differences between species

ABSTRACT: Differences in gene regulation contribute to phenotypic differences between humans and other primates. While co-transcriptional gene regulatory mechanisms such as alternative polyadenylation (APA) can help explain how variation in gene regulation manifests, such mechanisms remain understudied. We measured polyadenylation site (PAS) usage in a panel of 6 human and 6 chimpanzee lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). While APA is largely conserved between humans and chimpanzees, genes with divergent APA patterns are enriched among differentially expressed and differentially translated genes. Differential usage of 3’ UTR and intronic PAS are both significantly correlated with differential mRNA expression effect sizes but in opposite directions. For many genes, there is one PAS dominant, meaning it is used much more often than others. The dominant PAS for these gene is overwhelmingly shared between species, however, differences in dominant PAS are enriched for genes with expression differences. Finally, through post-translational mechanisms, we believe APA contributes to genes differentially expressed at the protein level but not in mRNA. As this is the first primate comparative study of APA, our study establishes APA as a key mechanism underlying the genetic regulation of gene and protein expression levels in primates.

RNA polyadenylation landscape in human and mouse cells

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) of mRNAs has emerged as an important mechanism for post-transcriptional gene regulation in higher eukaryotes. Although microarrays have recently been used to characterize APA globally, they have a number of serious limitations that prevents comprehensive and highly quantitative analysis. To better characterize APA and its regulation, we have developed a deep sequencing-based method called Poly(A) Site Sequencing (PAS-Seq) for quantitatively profiling RNA polyadenylation at the transcriptome level. PAS-Seq not only accurately and comprehensively identifies poly(A) junctions in mRNAs and noncoding RNAs, but also provides quantitative information on the relative abundance of polyadenylated RNAs. We first analyzed HeLa cell transcriptome using PAS-Seq to demonstrate that PAS-Seq not only accurately and comprehensively identifies poly(A) junctions, but also provide quantitative information on the relativel abundance of APA isoforms. Next we analyzed the mouse embryonic stem cells, neural stem/progenitor cells, and neurons by PAS-Seq to characterize the dynamic changes of mRNA polyadenylation during stem cell differentiation.

A compendium of conserved cleavage and polyadenylation events in mammalian genes

Project description:Cleavage and polyadenylation is essential for 3’ end processing of almost all eukaryotic mRNAs. Recent studies have shown widespread alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) events leading to mRNA isoforms with different 3’UTRs and/or coding sequences. Here we present a compendium of conserved cleavage and polyadenylation sites (PASs) in mammalian genes, based on ~1.2 billion 3’ end sequencing reads from over 360 human, mouse and rat samples. We show that ~80% of mammalian mRNA genes contain at least one conserved PAS, and ~50% have conserved APA events. PAS conservation generally reduces promiscuous 3’ end processing, stabling gene expression levels across species. Conservation of APA correlates with gene age, gene expression features, and gene functions. Genes with certain functions, such as cell morphology, cell proliferation, and mRNA metabolism, are particularly enriched with APA events. While tissue-specific genes typically have a low APA rate, brain-specific genes tend to evolve APA. We show enrichment of mRNA destabilizing motifs in alternative 3’UTR sequences, leading to substantial differences in mRNA stability between 3’UTR APA isoforms. Using conserved PASs, we reveal sequence motifs surrounding APA sites and a preference of adenosine at the cleavage site. Mutations of the U-rich motif around the PAS often accompany APA profile changes between species. Analysis of lncRNA PASs indicates a mechanism of PAS fixation involving evolution of A-rich motifs. Taken together, our results present a comprehensive view of PAS evolution in mammals, and a phylogenic understanding of APA functions.

Regulation of alternative cleavage and polyadenylation by 3’ end processing and splicing factors

Project description:Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) results in mRNA isoforms containing different 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs) and/or coding sequences. How core cleavage and polyadenylation (C/P) factors regulate APA is not well understood. Using siRNA knockdown coupled with deep sequencing, we found that several C/P factors can play significant roles in 3’UTR-APA. Whereas Pcf11 and Fip1 enhance usage of proximal poly(A) sites (pAs), CFI-25/68, PABPN1, and PABPC1 promote usage of distal pAs. Strong cis element biases were found for pAs regulated by CFI or Fip1, and the distance between pAs plays an important role in APA regulation. In addition, intronic pAs are substantially regulated by splicing factors, with U1 mostly influencing C/P events in 5’ introns and U2 impacting those in efficiently spliced introns. Furthermore, PABPN1 regulates expression of transcripts with pAs near the transcription start site, a property possibly related to its role in RNA degradation. Finally, we found that groups of APA events regulated by C/P factors are also modulated in cell differentiation and development with distinct trends. Together, our results indicate that the abundance of different C/P factors and splicing factors plays diverse roles in APA, and is relevant to APA regulation in biological conditions. knockdown experiments of 23 C/P factors, 3 splicing factors and U1D in mouse C2C12 myoblast cells

Analysis of alternative cleavage and polyadenylation by 3' region extraction and deep sequencing

Project description:Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) generates diverse mRNA isoforms. We developed 3' region extraction and deep sequencing (3'READS) to address mispriming issues that commonly plague poly(A) site (pA) identification, and we used the method to comprehensively map pAs in the mouse genome. Thorough annotation of gene 3' ends revealed over 5,000 previously overlooked pAs (~8% of total) flanked by A-rich sequences, underscoring the necessity of using an accurate tool for pA mapping. About 79% of mRNA genes and 66% of long noncoding RNA genes undergo APA, but these two gene types have distinct usage patterns for pAs in introns and upstream exons. Quantitative analysis of APA isoforms by 3'READS indicated that promoter-distal pAs, regardless of intron or exon locations, become more abundant during embryonic development and cell differentiation and that upregulated isoforms have stronger pAs, suggesting global modulation of the 3' endM-bM-^@M-^Sprocessing activity in development and differentiation. 3'READS to map pAs in mouse genome

CPSF controls PAS selection and epidermal differentiation

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a regulatory mechanism that controls gene expression level and function through the usage of different transcription termination sites, but how APA is regulated to influence epidermal tissue differentiation remains under-characterized. Leveraging 3’READS+, we identified prevalent APA in keratinocytes. We further identified a high-confidence list of genes that alters their usages of polyadenylation site (PAS) during keratinocyte differentiation. To begin to understand the mechanisms that modulates PAS selection within a given gene, we identified that the expression of the Cleavage and Polyadenylation Specificity Factor (CPSF) complex is down regulated during keratinocyte differentiation. Suppression of CPSF using RNAi or CRISPRi strongly impaired epidermal regeneration with upregulation of terminal differentiation marker gene expression. Mechanistically, we identified that CPSF suppression decreased the usage of the GRHL3 proximal PAS and upregulated full-length GRHL3 mRNA production. Knockdown of GRHL3 in the context of CPSFi partially restored differentiation marker gene expression. We also found CPSF interacts with RNA-binding proteins to control PAS usage. Thus, our data suggest a model where CPSF binding preference and PAS choices regulate epidermal terminal differentiation.

Distinct regulation of alternative polyadenylation and gene expression by nuclear poly(A) polymerases

Project description:Polyadenylation of nascent RNA by poly(A) polymerase (PAP) is important for 3’ end maturation of almost all eukaryotic mRNAs. Most mammalian genes harbor multiple polyadenylation sites (PASs), leading to expression of alternative polyadenylation (APA) isoforms with distinct functions. How poly(A) polymerases may regulate PAS usage and hence gene expression is poorly understood. Here we show that the nuclear canonical (PAPalpha and PAPgamma) and non-canonical (Star-PAP) PAPs play diverse roles in PAS selection and gene expression. Deficiencies in the PAPs resulted in perturbations of gene expression, with Star-PAP impacting lowly expressed mRNAs and long-noncoding RNAs to the greatest extent. Importantly, different PASs of a gene are distinctly regulated by different PAPs, leading to widespread relative expression changes of APA isoforms. The location and surrounding sequence motifs of a PAS appear to differentiate its regulation by the PAPs. We show Star-PAP-specific PAS usage regulates the expression of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor EIF4A1, the tumor suppressor gene PTEN, and the long non-coding RNA NEAT1. The Star-PAP-mediated APA of PTEN is essential for DNA damage-induced increase of PTEN protein levels. Together, our results reveal a PAS-guided and PAP-mediated paradigm for gene expression in response to cellular signaling cues.
