CFIm-mediated alternative polyadenylation remodels cellular signaling and miRNA biogenesis

ABSTRACT: The mammalian cleavage factor I (CFIm) has been implicated in alternative polyadenylation (APA) in a broad range of contexts, from cancers to learning deficits and parasite infections. To determine how the CFIm expression levels are translated into these diverse phenotypes, we carried out a multi-omics analysis of cell lines in which the CFIm25 (NUDT21) or CFIm68 (CPSF6) subunits were either repressed by siRNA-mediated knockdown or over-expressed from stably integrated constructs. We established that more than 800 genes undergo coherent APA in response to changes in CFIm levels, and they cluster in distinct functional classes related to protein metabolism. The activity of the ERK pathway traces the CFIm concentration, and explains some of the fluctuations in cell growth and metabolism that are observed upon CFIm perturbations. Furthermore, multiple transcripts encoding proteins from the miRNA pathway are targets of CFIm-dependent APA. This leads to an increased biogenesis and repressive activity of miRNAs at the same time as some 3’ UTRs become shorter and presumably less sensitive to miRNA-mediated repression. Our study provides a first systematic assessment of a reference set of core APA targets, that respond to changes in CFIm protein subunit levels (CFIm25/CFIm68), and the elicited signalling pathways downstream of CFIm, to improve our understanding of the key role of CFIm in integrating RNA processing with other cellular activities.

A jack of all trades and a master of some: remodeling of signaling pathways downstream of CFIm 3’ end processing factor

Project description:The mammalian cleavage factor I (CFIm) has been implicated in alternative polyadenylation (APA) in a broad range of contexts, from cancers to learning deficits and parasite infections. To uncover the molecular pathways that translate CFIm expression levels into these observed phenotypes, we carried out a multi-omics analysis of cell lines in which the CFIm25 (NUDT21) or CFIm68 (CPSF6) subunits were either repressed by siRNA-mediated knockdown or over-expressed from stably integrated constructs. We established that more than 600 genes exhibit CFIm-dependent APA, and they cluster in distinct functional classes related to protein metabolism. The activity of the ERK pathway traces the CFIm concentration, and explains some of the metabolic and proliferation changes induced by CFIm perturbations. Transcripts of miRNA pathway proteins are prominent targets of CFIm-dependent APA. This leads to increased miRNA biogenesis and repressive activity at the same time as 3’ UTRs become shorter upon CFIm depletion. Our study provides a first systematic assessment of the signalling pathways downstream of CFIm to improve our understanding of CFIm-dependent phenotypes.

Interacting proteins of NUDT21 identified by IP-MS

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation modulates gene expresion via changing the length of 3'UTR. Among the complexes involving in APA, CFIm complex plays a central role in determining the usage of proximal PAS versus distal one. NUDT21, also named as CFIm25 and CPSF5, is the core component of CFIm complex. To date, except CPSF6 and CPSF7, there are few proteins reported to interact with NUDT21. In this project, the interactome of NUDT21 was identified by IP-MS.

Distinct, opposing functions for CFIm59 and CFIm68 in mRNA alternative polyadenylation of Pten and in the PI3K/Akt signalling cascade

Project description:The precise maintenance of PTEN dosage is crucial for tumor suppression across a wide variety of cancers. Post-transcriptional regulation of Pten heavily relies on regulatory elements encoded by its 3’UTR. We previously reported the important diversity of 3’UTR isoforms of Pten mRNAs produced through alternative polyadenylation (APA). Here, we reveal the direct regulation of Pten APA by the mammalian cleavage factor I (CFIm) complex, which in turn contributes to PTEN protein dosage. CFIm consists of the UGUA-binding CFIm25 and APA regulatory subunits CFIm59 or CFIm68. Deep sequencing analyses of perturbed (KO and KD) cell lines uncovered the differential regulation of Pten APA by CFIm59 and CFIm68 and further revealed that their divergent functions have widespread impact for APA in transcriptomes. Differentially regulated genes include numerous factors within the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signalling pathway that PTEN counter-regulates. We further reveal a stratification of APA dysregulation among a subset of PTEN-driven cancers, with recurrent alterations among PI3K/Akt pathway genes regulated by CFIm. Our results refine the transcriptome selectivity of the CFIm complex in APA regulation, and the breadth of its impact in PTEN-driven cancers.

NUDT21 regulates intron detention of the SAM synthetase MAT2A RNA

Project description:NUDT21 encodes the CFIm25 protein, a component of the CFIm complex that regulates alternative polyadenylation (APA). Our data suggest that the CFIm complex also induces splicing of a detained intron in the the S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) synthetase MAT2A to control intracellular levels of SAM. To genetically separate these functions, we used poly(A) Click-seq (PAC-seq) to determine the changes in poly(A) site selection in two cell lines. The parental cell line is the colorectal cell line HCT116 and a derivative line that has the detained intron of MAT2A deleted in both alleles of MAT2A (116-DDI). We found few differences in alternative polyadenylation after CFIm25 depletion were similar supporting teh conclusion that CFIm's role in APA is mechanistically distinct from its role in regulation of MATA splicing.

Partial loss of CFIm25 causes aberrant alternative polyadenylation and learning deficits

Project description:We previously showed that NUDT21-spanning copy-number variations (CNVs) are associated with intellectual disability (ID), and that NUDT21-encoded CFIm25 regulates the protein levels of at least one dose-sensitive, ID-associated protein: MeCP2 (Gennarino et al., 2015). However, the patients’ CNVs also spanned multiple other genes raising the possibility that loss or gain of these other genes caused their symptoms. To determine if reduced NUDT21 function alone is sufficient to cause disease, we generated Nudt21 heterozygous null mice to mimic the human state of reduced expression. We found that although these mice have 50% reduced Nudt21 mRNA, they only have 30% less of its cognate protein, CFIm25. Despite this partial protein-level compensation, the Nudt21+/- mice have learning deficits and cortical hyperexcitability. Further, to determine the molecular mechanism driving neural dysfunction, we partially inhibited NUDT21 in human embryonic stem cell-derived neurons to reduce CFIm25 by 30%. This reduction in CFIm25 was sufficient to induce misregulated alternative polyadenylation (APA) and protein levels in hundreds of genes, dozens of which are associated with intellectual disability and whose dysregulation is likely contributing to disease symptoms. Altogether, these results indicate that disruption of NUDT21-regulated APA events in the brain can cause intellectual disability.

CFIm25 links alternative polyadenylation to glioblastoma tumour suppression

Project description:Purpose: To identify all of the APA targets of CFIm25 on a global scale and develop an algorithm that can idenitify APA events from standard RNA-seq data Methods: RNA from HeLa cells treated with control siRNA and CFIm25 siRNA were subject to RNA-Seq. Using a custom-designed algorithm to mine RNA-seq data for novel APA events regulated by CFIm25. Results: We identified over 1,400 genes with shortened 3’UTRs after CFIm25 knockdown. Importantly, we show that as a consequence of APA, many of these mRNAs have greatly enhanced protein expression due to the loss of destabilizing features within the 3’UTR. Conclusions: Our study underscored the critical function of the CFIm complex members in governing APA and establish a previously unknown link between APA and metabolic pathways important for tumor progression. Hela cell line mRNA profiles of control treated and CFIm25 Knockdown were generated by RNA-Seq using Illumina GAIIx.

CRISPR screen identifies NUDT21 as a regulator of intron detention of the SAM synthetase MAT2A RNA

Project description:The only S-adenosymethionine (SAM) synthetase expressed in most human cells, MAT2A, is regulated by intron detention. Using a GFP fusion reporter, we conducted a CRISPR screen to identify regulators of this alternative splicing event. The screen identified METTL16, a known regulator of this process, and NUDT21. NUDT21 encodes the CFIm25 protein a member of the CFIm complex involved in alternative polyadenylation. Validation and follow-up studies support the idea that CFIm25 and the larger CFIm complex plays an unanticipated role in splicing of the MAT2A detained intron.
