Stress-induced transcriptional readthrough into neighboring genes is linked to intron retention

ABSTRACT: Exposure to certain stresses leads to readthrough transcription downstream of gene ends. Here we found that this phenomenon impacts the expression of genes located downstream to readthrough genes, whereby readthrough transcription proceeds into downstream genes, termed read-in genes. Using polyA-selected RNA-seq data from mouse fibroblasts, we identified widespread read-in in heat shock, oxidative and osmotic stress conditions. Read-in genes share distinctive genomic characteristics; they are extremely short, mainly due to less, shorter, introns, and they are highly GC rich. Furthermore, using ribosome footprint profiling we found that the translation of genes with high degrees of read-in is significantly reduced. Strikingly, read-in genes show extremely high levels of intron retention during stress, mostly in their first intron. While read-in genes share features that are generally associated with increased likelihood of intron retention, such as short introns and high GC content, intron retention in read-in genes during stress exceeds greatly beyond what is expected given their genomic properties. Finally, we found that first introns in read-in genes have weaker 5’ and 3’ splice sites. Our data portray a relationship between read-in and intron retention, suggesting it may have co-evolved to facilitate reduced translation of read-in genes during stress.

Spontaneous mutations in FgSAD1 suppress the growth defect of the Fgprp4 mutant by affecting tri-snRNP stability and its docking in Fusarium graminearum

Project description:Purpose: For detecting splicing defects in wild type PH-1 and sector S139 and transformant D10. Our results showed that S139 and D10 had similar intron retention levels (un-spliced introns). The intron retention levels in S139 were significantly higher than those in PH-1 (P<0.001,t-test). For the 15,211 introns in the 6,995 genes expressed across two strains, approximately 25% of them had an over 2-fold intron retention rate in comparison with the intron retention rate in PH-1, indicating splicing defects in S139 and D10.

Genome-wide detection of context-sensitive alternative splicing in Arabidopsis roots

Project description:To analyze context-sensitive changes in pre-mRNA splicing pattern and gene expression, we mapped the transcriptome of iron-deficient and iron-sufficient Arabidopsis roots using the RNA-seq technology. RNA-seq data were analyzed with a newly developed software package, RACKJ (Read Analysis & Comparison Kit in Java). Subsets of 460 and 1480 genes were found to be either differentially expressed or affected in their splicing patterns upon iron deficiency. The two groups showed a small, random overlap, indicating that alternative splicing and differential gene expression represent parallel, but potentially interacting regulatory mechanisms. The majority (~95%%) of the context-sensitive alternative splicing events was due to differentially retained introns. Intron retention was mostly repressed in iron-deficient plants, while exon skipping did not show a clear trend in either direction. A comparison with a similar data set for phosphate-deficient plants supported stress-repressed intron retention and revealed nutrient-specific changes of splicing patterns. It is concluded that iron and phosphate deficiency increases splicing fidelity for a subset of transcripts, probably as a means of acclimation to nutrient shortage.

Widespread transcriptional readthrough caused by Nab2 depletion leads to chimeric transcripts with retained introns

Project description:Nascent RNA sequencing has recently revealed that pre-mRNA splicing can occur shortly after the intron emerges from RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Differences in co-transcriptional splicing profiles suggest regulation by cis- and/or trans-acting factors. Here we used Single Molecule Intron Tracking (SMIT) in budding yeast to identify a cohort of regulators by machine learning. One candidate, Nab2, displayed reduced co-transcriptional splicing of some pre-mRNAs when depleted. Unexpectedly, these splicing defects were attributable to readthrough transcription, which was revealed by long read sequencing of nascent RNA; individual readthrough transcripts induced by Nab2 depletion sometimes spanned multiple genes. Thus, Nab2 regulation of splicing was indirect. Moreover, unspliced transcripts displayed downstream readthrough in both control and Nab2-depleted cells, highlighting the coupling between splicing and 3′ end formation. We conclude that Nab2 is required for proper 3′ end processing, which ensures both transcription termination as well as proper splicing of downstream genes.

Bud13 Promotes a Type I Interferon Response by Countering Intron Retention in Irf7

Project description:Intron retention (IR) has emerged as an important mechanism of gene expression control. Despite this, the factors that control IR events remain poorly understood. We observed consistent IR in one intron of the Irf7 gene and identified Bud13 as an RNA-binding protein that acts at this intron to increase the amount of successful splicing. Deficiency in Bud13 led to increased IR, decreased mature Irf7 transcript and protein levels, and consequently to a dampened type I interferon response. This impairment of Irf7 production in Bud13 deficient cells compromised their ability to withstand VSV infection. Global analysis of Bud13 knockdown and BUD13 cross-linking to RNA revealed a subset of introns that share many characteristics with the one found in Irf7 and are spliced in a Bud13-dependent manner. Deficiency of Bud13 led to decreased mature transcript from genes containing such introns. Thus, by acting as an antagonist to IR, Bud13 facilitates the expression of genes at which IR occurs.

The splicing co-factor Barricade/Tat-SF1, is required for cell cycle and lineage progression in Drosophila neural stem cells.

Project description:Stem cells need to balance self-renewal and differentiation for correct tissue development and homeostasis. Defects in this balance can lead to developmental defects or tumor formation. In recent years, mRNA splicing has emerged as one important mechanism regulating cell fate decisions. Here we address the role of the evolutionary conserved splicing co-factor Barricade (Barc)/CUS2/Tat-SF1 in Drosophila neural stem cell (neuroblast) lineage formation. We show that Barc is required for the generation of neurons during Drosophila brain development by ensuring correct neural progenitor proliferation and differentiation. Barc associates with components of the U2 small nuclear ribonucleic proteins (snRNP), and its depletion causes alternative splicing in form of intron retention in a subset of genes. Using bioinformatics analysis and a cell culture based splicing assay, we found that Barc dependent introns share three major traits: they are short, GC rich and have weak 3’ splice sites. Our results show that Barc, together with the U2snRNP, plays an important role in regulating neural stem cell lineage progression during brain development and facilitates correct splicing of a subset of introns.

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.

Intron retention analysis using isogrowth profiling

Project description:We present an analysis of intron retention under stress from two different drugs and their combinations in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We previously established isogrowth profiling, a method to abstract the non-specific effects of growth rate inhibition from the specific effect of perturbation by a small molecule: two drugs are used at varied ratios, but at fixed overall growth inhibition. Here, cycloheximide and LiCl were used at seven different ratios along the 50% growth inhibition isobole and the total ribodepleted RNA was sequenced. This allowed us to gauge the changes in intron retention due to the used drugs, while ensuring that the effects are not caused by growth inhibition. We found a prominent increase in intron retention under LiCl treatment that preferentially affects introns contained in the transcripts of ribosomal proteins.

LUC7 is an U1snRNP component that plays a role in alternative splicing and terminal introns removal in plants

Project description:Introns are removed by the spliceosome, a large complex composed of five ribonucleoprotein subcomplexes (U snRNP). In metazoans, the U1 snRNP, which binds to 5’ splice sites, also fulfills regulatory roles in splice site selection and possesses non-splicing related functions. Here, we show that an Arabidopsis U1 snRNP subunit, LUC7, affects constitutive and alternative splicing. Interestingly, LUC7 specifically promotes splicing of a subset of terminal introns. Splicing of LUC7-dependent terminal introns is a prerequisite for nuclear export and can be modulated by stress. Globally, intron retention under stress conditions occurs preferentially among first and terminal introns, uncovering an unknown bias for splicing regulation in Arabidopsis. Taken together, our study reveals that the Arabidopsis U1 snRNP is important for alternative splicing and removal of terminal introns and it suggests that Arabidopsis terminal introns fine-tune gene expression under stress conditions.

Nascent-Seq Indicates Widespread Cotranscriptional pre-mRNA Splicing in Drosophila

Project description:To determine the prevalence of cotranscriptional splicing in Drosophila, we sequenced nascent RNA transcripts from Drosophila S2 cells as well as from Drosophila heads. 87% of introns assayed manifest more than 50% cotranscriptional splicing. The remaining 13% are cotranscriptionally spliced poorly, or slowly, with ~3% being almost completely retained in nascent pre-mRNA. Although individual introns showed slight but statistically significant differences in splicing efficiency, similar global levels of splicing were seen from both sources. Importantly, introns with low cotranscriptional splicing efficiencies are present in the same primary transcript with efficiently spliced introns, indicating that splicing is intron-specific. The analysis also indicates that cotranscriptional splicing is less efficient for first introns, longer introns and introns annotated as alternative. FinallyFinally, S2 cells expressing the slow RpII215C4 mutant manifest substantially less intron retention than wild-type S2 cells. Examination of Total pA and Nascent RNA from 2 different cell populations and isolated fly heads.

Maize seedling mRNA-seq of splicing factor mutants and their wild-type siblings

Project description:The maize Rough endosperm3 (Rgh3) gene encodes an ortholog of the human essential splicing factor, ZRSR2. To test whether a mutation in Rgh3 affects mRNA splicing, we compared rgh3 mutants and wild-type sibling transcriptomes in an RNA-seq experiment. Twelve libraries were constructed with mRNA extracted from the roots and shoots of three seedlings of each genotype. The libraries were multiplexed and sequenced on one lane of the HiSeq 2000 platform. The run produced 149 million paired-end 100 bp reads that mapped to 35,028 genes. Two approaches were used to analyze the dataset. In the first approach, Mosaik2, FreeBayes, GSNAP, and Cufflinks were used to identify differences in transcript isoform abundance in a SNP-tolerant fashion. During reverse-transcription PCR validation, six examples of intron retention were found to occur more frequently in rgh3 seedlings, and all six introns were members of a rare class of introns called U12-type introns. The second approach utilized a t-test to determine whether more reads were mapped to U12-type introns in rgh3 libraries relative to wild-type libraries. Out of all U12-type introns within genes that are expressed at a early seedling stage, 43% exhibit splicing defects in rgh3 mutants. These U12-type intron splicing defects include intron retention and cryptic splice site activation. We report that the rgh3 mutation specifically impairs the U12-type intron splicing.
