Structural basis for RNA capture and surveillance by the human Nuclear Exosome Targeting (NEXT) complex

ABSTRACT: Abstract: RNA quality control relies on co-factors and adaptors to identify and prepare substrates for degradation by ribonucleases such as the 3′ to 5′ ribonucleolytic RNA exosome. Here, we determined cryo-electron microscopy structures of human Nuclear Exosome Targeting (NEXT) complexes bound to RNA, that reveal mechanistic insights to substrate recognition and early steps that precede RNA handover to the exosome. The structures illuminate ZCCHC8 as a scaffold, mediating homodimerization while embracing the MTR4 helicase and flexibly anchoring RBM7 to the helicase core. All three subunits collaborate to bind the RNA, with RBM7 and ZCCHC8 engaging sequences upstream of the 3′ end that is bound by MTR4. ZCCHC8 obscures MTR4 surfaces that are important for RNA binding and extrusion as well as surfaces important for MPP6-dependent recruitment and docking onto the RNA exosome core, features of which might contribute to coordinating RNA translocation and extrusion from the helicase to exosome recruitment and decay.

ZCCHC8 is required for the degradation of pervasive transcripts originating from multiple genomic regulatory features

Project description:The vast majority of mammalian genomes are transcribed as non-coding RNA in what is referred to as “pervasive transcription.” Recent studies have uncovered various families of non-coding RNA transcribed upstream of transcription start sites. In particular, highly unstable promoter upstream transcripts known as PROMPTs have been shown to be targeted for exosomal degradation by the nuclear exosome targeting complex (NEXT) consisting of the RNA helicase MTR4, the zinc-knuckle scaffold ZCCHC8, and the RNA binding protein RBM7. Here, we report that in addition to its known RNA substrates, ZCCHC8 is required for the targeted degradation of pervasive transcripts produced at CTCF binding sites, open chromatin regions, promoters, promoter flanking regions, and transcription factor binding sites. Additionally, we report that a significant number of RIKEN cDNAs and predicted genes display the hallmarks of PROMPTs and are also substrates for ZCCHC8 and/or NEXT complex regulation suggesting these are unlikely to be functional genes. Our results suggest that ZCCHC8 and/or the NEXT complex may play a larger role in the global regulation of pervasive transcription than previously reported.

Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry of wt Mtr4 with various RNA substrates

Project description:Mtr4 is a eukaryotic RNA helicase required for RNA decay by the nuclear exosome. Previous studies have shown how RNA enroute to the exosome threads through the highly conserved helicase core of Mtr4. Mtr4 also contains an arch domain, although details of potential interactions between the arch and RNA have been elusive. To understand the interaction of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mtr4 with various RNAs, we have characterized RNA binding in solution using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, and affinity and unwinding assays. We have identified RNA interactions within the helicase core that are consistent with existing structures and do not vary between tRNA, single-stranded RNA, and double-stranded RNA constructs. We have also identified novel RNA interactions with a region of the arch known as the fist or KOW. These interactions are important for RNA unwinding and vary in strength depending on RNA structure and length. They account for Mtr4 discrimination between different RNAs. These interactions further drive Mtr4 to adopt a closed conformation characterized by reduced dynamics of the arch arm and intra-domain contacts between the fist and helicase core.

Identification of a nuclear exosome decay pathway for processed transcripts

Project description:The RNA exosome is fundamental for the degradation of RNA in eukaryotic nuclei. Substrate targeting is facilitated by its co-factor Mtr4p/hMTR4, which links to RNA-binding protein adaptors. One such activity is the human Nuclear EXosome Targeting (NEXT) complex, composed of hMTR4, the Zn-finger protein ZCCHC8 and the RNA-binding factor RBM7. NEXT primarily targets early and unprocessed transcripts, demanding a rationale for how the nuclear exosome recognizes processed RNAs. Here, we describe the PolyA tail eXosome Targeting (PAXT) connection, comprising the hitherto uncharacterized ZFC3H1 Zn-knuckle protein as a central link between hMTR4 and the nuclear polyA binding protein PABPN1. Individual depletion of ZFC3H1 and PABPN1 results in the accumulation of common transcripts, that are generally both longer and more 3’polyadenylated than NEXT substrates. Importantly, ZFC3H1/PABPN1 and ZCCHC8/RBM7 contact hMTR4 in a mutually exclusive manner, revealing that the exosome targets nuclear transcripts of different maturation status by substituting its hMTR4-associating adaptors.

MPP6 stimulates both RRP6 and DIS3 to degrade a specified subset of MTR4-sensitive substrates in the human nucleus

Project description:Recent in vitro reconstitution analyses have proven that the physical interaction between the exosome core and MTR4 helicase, which promotes the exosome activity, is maintained by either MPP6 or RRP6. However, knowledge regarding the function of MPP6 with respect to in vivo exosome activity remains scarce. Here we demonstrate a facilitative function of MPP6 that composes a specific part of MTR4-dependent substrate decay by the human exosome. Using RNA polymerase II-transcribed poly(A)+ substrate accumulation as an indicator of a perturbed exosome, we found functional redundancy between RRP6 and MPP6 in the decay of these poly(A)+ transcripts. MTR4 binding to the exosome core via MPP6 was essential for MPP6 to exert its redundancy with RRP6. However, at least for the decay of our identified exosome substrates, MTR4 recruitment by MPP6 was not functionally equivalent to recruitment by RRP6. Genome-wide classification of substrates based on their sensitivity to each exosome component revealed that MPP6 deals with a specific range of substrates, and highlights the importance of MTR4 for their decay. Considering recent findings of competitive binding to the exosome between auxiliary complexes, our results suggest that the MPP6-incorporated MTR4-exosome complex is one of multiple alternative complexes rather than the prevailing one.

NRDE2 negatively regulates nuclear exosome functions

Project description:The exosome functions in the degradation of diverse RNA species, yet how it is negatively regulated remains largely unknown. Here, we show that NRDE2 forms a 1:1 complex with MTR4, a nuclear exosome cofactor critical for exosome recruitment, via a conserved MTR4-interacting domain (MID). Unexpectedly, NRDE2 mainly localizes in nuclear speckles, where it inhibits MTR4 recruitment and RNA degradation, and thereby ensures efficient mRNA nuclear export. Structural and biochemical data revealed that NRDE2 interacts with MTR4's key residues, locks MTR4 in a closed conformation, and inhibits MTR4 interaction with the exosome as well as proteins important for MTR4 recruitment, such as the cap-binding complex (CBC) and ZFC3H1. Functionally, MID deletion results in the loss of self-renewal of mouse embryonic stem cells. Together, our data pinpoint NRDE2 as a nuclear exosome negative regulator that ensures mRNA stability and nuclear export.

Rip-seq of MTR4 in PLC/PRF5

Project description:Metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis is required for tumorigenesis by providing cancer cells with energy and substrates of biosynthesis, and also plays a key role in inducing immune suppressive tumor microenvironment that inhibits tumor immunotherapy. Therefore, to develop more effective cancer therapy, it is important to elucidate mechanisms that control cancer metabolic switch. MTR4 is a RNA helicase associated with nuclear exosome that plays key roles in RNA processing and surveillance. We demonstrated that MTR4 is frequently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and this predicts poor prognosis of HCC patients. MTR4 is required for HCC tumorigenesis by maintaining cancer metabolic switch. Mechanistically, MTR4 is required for the expression of critical glycolytic proteins such as GLUT1 and PKM2 by binding to their pre-mRNA and ensuring correct alternative splicing. c-Myc binds to the promoter of MTR4 gene and is required for MTR4 expression, indicating that MTR4 is a key mediator of c-Myc function in promoting cancer metabolism. These findings reveal an important pathway to drive cancer metabolic switch and present MTR4 as a promising therapeutic target for treating HCC.

Substrate Specificity of the TRAMP Nuclear Surveillance Complexes

Project description:During nuclear surveillance in yeast, the RNA exosome functions together with the TRAMP complexes. These include the DEAH-box RNA helicase Mtr4 together with an RNA-binding protein (Air1 or Air2) and a poly(A) polymerase (Trf4 or Trf5). To better determine how RNA substrates are targeted, we analyzed protein and RNA interactions for TRAMP components. Mass spectrometry identified three distinct TRAMP complexes formed in vivo. These complexes preferentially assemble on different classes of transcripts. Unexpectedly, on many substrates, including pre-rRNAs and pre-mRNAs, binding specificity was apparently conferred by Trf4 and Trf5. Clustering of mRNAs by TRAMP association showed coenrichment for mRNAs with functionally related products, supporting the significance of surveillance in regulating gene expression. We compared binding sites of TRAMP components with multiple nuclear RNA binding proteins, revealing preferential colocalization of subsets of factors. TRF5 deletion reduced Mtr4 recruitment and increased RNA abundance for mRNAs specifically showing high Trf5 binding.

Substrate discrimination and quality control require each catalytic activity of TRAMP and the nuclear RNA exosome

Project description:Abstract: Quality control requires discrimination between functional and aberrant species to selectively target substrates for destruction. Nuclear RNA quality control in Saccharomyces cerevisiae includes the TRAMP complex that marks RNA for decay via polyadenylation and helicase-dependent 3′ to 5′ degradation by the RNA exosome. Using reconstitution biochemistry we show that polyadenylation and helicase activities of TRAMP cooperate with processive and distributive exoribonuclease activities of the nuclear RNA exosome to selectively target and degrade an unmodified tRNA while leaving native tRNA intact. Inactivation of the distributive exoribonuclease activity of Rrp6 results in loss of substrate discrimination, leading to degradation of all RNAs. These data suggest that the activities of the Mtr4 helicase and Rrp6 exoribonuclease endow the TRAMP-RNA exosome complex with the ability to protect stable RNA while degrading defective RNA species. Rrp6 and its 3′-5′ exonuclease activity have previously been shown to contribute to quality control and processing of various types of nuclear RNAs. Our sequencing analysis further confirms that Rrp6 contributes to this process.

Global profiling and functional characterization of post-translational modifications of the fission yeast RNA exosome

Project description:The RNA exosome is a multi-subunit complex essential for processing and degradation of many classes of RNA. Although many of the functions of the RNA exosome are well established, how the activity of this complex is regulated remains poorly understood. Here we report a comprehensive proteomic analysis of the RNA exosome complex from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and identified 39 post-translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation, methylation, and acetylation. Interestingly, most of the modifications were identified in Dis3 and Rrp6, the catalytic subunits of the RNA exosome, as well as in the exosome-associated RNA helicase, Mtr4. Functional characterization of residues found to be modified in distinct exosome subunits revealed specific substitutions that affected cell growth and RNA exosome functions. Notably, phosphomimetic substitutions of phosphorylation sites Ser-809 and Tyr-814 in S. pombe Dis3 resulted in striking loss-of-function phenotype in vivo. Biochemical analysis of the Ser-809 and Tyr-814 phosphomimetic versions of Dis3 revealed proper assembly in vivo, but a marked decrease in degradation capacity in vitro. Given that Ser-809 and Tyr-814 are positioned in the vicinity of the catalytic centre of Dis3, our data suggest that site-specific phosphorylation of the RNA exosome represents a mechanism to control its activity in vivo.

RNA-seq reveals that Air1 and Air2 control TRAMP substrate specificity for nuclear RNA surveillance

Project description:The Saccharomyces cerevisiae TRAMP4 and TRAMP5 complexes, which consist of the poly(A) polymerase Trf4 or Trf5, respectively, the zinc knuckle proteins Air1 or Air2, and the RNA helicase Mtr4, play a critical role in nuclear RNA surveillance. Although it is known to enhance the nuclease activity of the exosome, relatively little is known about the exact mechanism and specificity of TRAMP. To better define the specificities of the TRAMP complexes, we used phenotypic analysis and RNA deep-sequencing technology to measure differences in global RNA polyadenylation in air mutants, revealing specific requirements for each Air protein in the regulation of the levels of non-coding and coding RNAs. These findings reveal differential functions for Air proteins in eukaryotic RNA metabolism and indicate that they control the substrate specificity of the RNA exosome. Poly(A)+ RNA from WT, rrp6-M-NM-^T, air1-M-NM-^T rrp6-M-NM-^T and air2-M-NM-^T rrp6-M-NM-^T was sequenced using ABI SOLiD platform, in duplicate.
