Compound heterozygous mutations in the noncoding RNU4ATAC gene affect the homeostasis and function of the Integrator complex

ABSTRACT: Various genetic diseases associated with microcephaly and developmental defects are due to pathogenic variants in the U4atac snRNA, a component of the minor spliceosome essential for the removal of U12-type introns from eukaryotic messenger RNAs. While it has been shown that a few RNU4ATAC mutations result in impaired binding of essential protein components, the molecular defects of the vast majority are still unknown. Here, we used cells derived from two RNU4ATAC compound heterozygous (g.108_126del;g.111G>A) twin patients with MOPD1 phenotypes to analyze the molecular consequences of the mutations on snRNPs formation and splicing. We show that the U4atac108_126del mutant is unstable and that the 111G>A mutation located in the apical 3’ stem-loop of U4atac induces defects in 3’-end maturation giving rise to decreased levels of mature U4atacG111A snRNA as well as of minor di- and tri-snRNPs. We also found that the mutant cells have alterations in splicing of minor introns and contain lower levels of INTS7 and INTS10 proteins. Altogether, our results demonstrate that the compound heterozygous g.108_126del;g.111G>A U4atac mutations lead to defects in 3’-end processing of U4atac transcripts and affect the homeostasis and function of the Integrator complex.

p53 ablation fails to completely rescue microcephaly caused by impaired minor intron splicing

Project description:Mutations in the minor spliceosome components such as RNU4atac, a small nuclear RNA (snRNA), are linked to primary microcephaly. We have reported that in the conditional knockout (cKO) mice for Rnu11, a minor spliceosome snRNA, minor intron splicing defect in minor intron-containing genes (MIGs) regulating cell cycle resulted in cell cycle defect with a concomitant increase in yH2aX+ cells and P53-mediated apoptosis. Trp53 ablation in the Rnu11 cKO mice did not prevent microcephaly. Although RNAseq analysis of the double knockout (dKO) pallium reflected transcriptomic shift towards the control from the cKO. We found elevated minor intron retention and alternative splicing across minor introns in the dKO. Disruption of these minor intron-containing genes (MIGs) resulted in cell cycle defect that was detected earlier and was more severe in the dKO, but with delayed detection of yH2aX+ DNA damage. Thus, P53 might also play a role in causing DNA damage in the developing pallium. In all, our findings further refine our understanding of the role of the minor spliceosome in cortical development and identify MIGs underpinning microcephaly in minor spliceosome-related disease.

Transcriptome changes in splicing inhibited cells

Project description:In eukaryotes, U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) forms spliceosomes in equal stoichiometry with U2, U4, U5 and U6 snRNPs; however, its abundance in human far exceeds that of the other snRNPs. Here we used antisense morpholino oligonucleotide to U1 snRNA to achieve functional U1 snRNP knockdown in HeLa cells, and identified accumulated unspliced pre-mRNAs by genomic tiling microarrays. In addition to inhibiting splicing, U1 snRNP knockdown caused premature cleavage and polyadenylation in numerous pre-mRNAs at cryptic polyadenylation signals, frequently in introns near (<5 kilobases) the start of the transcript. This did not occur when splicing was inhibited with U2 snRNA antisense morpholino oligonucleotide or the U2-snRNP-inactivating drug spliceostatin A unless U1 antisense morpholino oligonucleotide was also included. We further show that U1 snRNA–pre-mRNA base pairing was required to suppress premature cleavage and polyadenylation from nearby cryptic polyadenylation signals located in introns. These findings reveal a critical splicing-independent function for U1 snRNP in protecting the transcriptome, which we propose explains its overabundance.

Minor intron retention drives clonal hematopoietic disorders and diverse cancer predisposition

Project description:Most eukaryotes harbor two distinct pre-mRNA splicing machineries: the major spliceosome, which removes >99% of introns, and the minor spliceosome, which removes rare, evolutionarily conserved introns. Although hypothesized to serve important regulatory functions, physiologic roles for the minor spliceosome are not well understood. For example, the minor spliceosome component ZRSR2 is subject to recurrent, leukemia-associated mutations, yet functional connections between minor introns, hematopoiesis, and cancers are unclear. Here, we identify that impaired minor intron excision via ZRSR2 loss enhances hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal. CRISPR screens mimicking nonsense-mediated decay of minor intron-containing mRNAs converged on LZTR1, a regulator of Ras-related GTPases. LZTR1 minor intron retention was also discovered in the RASopathy Noonan syndrome, due to intronic mutations disrupting splicing, and diverse solid tumors. These data uncover minor intron recognition as a regulator of hematopoiesis, noncoding mutations within minor introns as cancer drivers, and links between ZRSR2 mutations, LZTR1 regulation, and leukemias.

Chromosomal instability by mutations in the novel minor spliceosome component CENATAC

Project description:Aneuploidy is the leading cause of miscarriage and congenital birth defects, and a hallmark of cancer. Despite this strong association with human disease, the genetic causes of aneuploidy remain largely unknown. Through exome sequencing of patients with constitutional mosaic aneuploidy, we identified biallelic truncating mutations in CENATAC (CCDC84). We show that CENATAC is a novel component of the minor (U12-dependent) spliceosome that promotes splicing of a specific, rare minor intron subtype. This subtype is characterized by AT-AN splice sites and relatively high basal levels of intron retention. CENATAC depletion or expression of disease mutants resulted in excessive retention of AT-AN minor introns in ~100 genes enriched for nucleocytoplasmic transport and cell cycle regulators, and caused chromosome segregation errors. Our findings reveal selectivity in minor intron splicing and suggest a link between minor spliceosome defects and constitutional aneuploidy in humans.

Minor intron retention drives clonal hematopoietic disorders and diverse cancer predisposition.

Project description:Most metazoans contain two distinct pre-mRNA splicing machineries: the major spliceosome, which removes >99% of introns, and the minor spliceosome, which recognizes <1% of introns. Despite their rarity, minor introns are exquisitely conserved amongst species, suggesting important regulatory functions. However, physiologic roles for the minor spliceosome and the relevance of recurrent, leukemia-associated mutations affecting minor spliceosome components are not well understood. Here, we identify that mutational loss of the minor spliceosomal factor ZRSR2 enhances hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal via impaired minor intron splicing that converges on LZTR1, a regulator of Ras-related GTPases. LZTR1 minor intron retention is additionally observed in Noonan syndrome and diverse cancers. These data uncover minor intron recognition as a regulator of hematopoiesis and mechanistic links between ZRSR2 mutations, LZTR1, and leukemia.

Comprehensive Analysis of Recurrence-Associated Small Non-Coding RNAs in Esophageal Cancer [Affymetrix]

Project description:Targeted cancer therapy for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has made little progress largely due to a lack of knowledge of the driving genomic alterations. Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target to SCC remain a challenge. We analyzed sncRNAs microarray in 108 fresh frozen specimens of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) as discovery set and assessed associations between sncRNAs and recurrence-free survival. SncRNA signature identified was externally validated in two independent cohorts. We investigated the functional consequences of sncRNA identified and its integrative analysis of complex cancer genomics. We identified 3 recurrence-associated sncRNAs (miR-223, miR-1269a and nc886) from discovery set and proved risk prediction model externally in high and low volume centers. We uncovered through in vitro experiment that nc886 was down-regulated by hypermethylation of its promoter region and influences splicing of pre-mRNAs with minor introns by regulating expression of minor spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) such as RNU4atac. Integrative analysis from lung SCC data in The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed that patients with lower expression of nc886 had more genetic alterations of TP53, DNA damage response and cell cycle genes. nc886 inhibits minor splicing to suppress expression of certain oncogenes such as PARP1 and E2F family containing minor introns. We present risk prediction model with sncRNAs for ESCC. Among them, nc886 may contribute to complete minor splicing via regulation of minor spliceosomal snRNAs supporting the notion that aberrant alteration in minor splicing might be a key driver of ESCC.

Aberrant splicing of U12-type introns is the hallmark of ZRSR2 mutant myelodysplastic syndrome

Project description:Somatic mutations in the spliceosome gene ZRSR2 (located on the X chromosome) are associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). ZRSR2 is involved in the recognition of 3' splice site during the early stages of spliceosome assembly; however, its precise role in RNA splicing has remained unclear. Here, we characterize ZRSR2 as an essential component of the minor spliceosome (U12-dependent) assembly. shRNA mediated knockdown of ZRSR2 leads to impaired splicing of the U12-type introns, and RNA-Sequencing of MDS bone marrow reveals that loss of ZRSR2 activity causes increased mis-splicing. These splicing defects involve retention of the U12-type introns while splicing of the U2-type introns remain mostly unaffected. ZRSR2 deficient cells also exhibit reduced proliferation potential and distinct alterations in myeloid and erythroid differentiation in vitro. These data identify a specific role for ZRSR2 in RNA splicing and highlight dysregulated splicing of U12-type introns as a characteristic feature of ZRSR2 mutations in MDS. RNA sequencing was performed on 16 bone marrow samples (MDS and normal) and six samples of control or ZRSR2 shRNA transduced TF-1 cells and data was analysed for aberrant splicing caused by ZRSR2 mutations/deficiency.

Biallelic mutations in the 3’ exonuclease TOE1 cause Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 7 and result in snRNA processing defects

Project description:Processing of RNA polymerase II-transcribed spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) initiates with cleavage by the Integrator complex, but the factors that subsequently remove 3’ end extensions from metazoan snRNAs have remained unknown. We studied human families with a unique recessive syndromic constellation of pontocerebellar atrophy with ambiguous genitalia, uncovering biallelic inactivating mutations in TOE1, which encodes a conserved unconventional deadenylase. TOE1 demonstrated tight association with snRNA-protein (snRNP) complexes with specificity for incompletely processed pre-snRNAs containing 3’ end extensions that often included post-transcriptionally added tails. Human cells deficient for TOE1 catalytic activity showed accumulation of 3’-end extended U1, U2, U4 and U5 pre-snRNAs, and TOE1 immuno-isolated from human cells was capable of processing 3’-end extended snRNPs in vitro. The missense mutations identified in patients impaired TOE1 stability and snRNA processing in patient cells, which was associated with defects in splicing. Our findings reveal the cause of a unique brain malformation and uncover a long-sought 3’ exonuclease required for snRNA processing.
