Acylation probing of “generic” RNA libraries reveals critical influence of loop constraints on reactivity

ABSTRACT: The reactivity of RNA 2’-OH acylation is broadly useful both in probing structure and in preparing conjugates. To date, this reactivity has been analyzed in limited sets of biological RNA sequences, leaving open questions of how reactivity varies inherently without regard to sequence in structured contexts. To investigate, we constructed and probed “generic” structured RNA libraries using homogeneous loop sequences. We employed deep sequencing to carry out a systematic survey of reactivity. We find a wide range of RNA reactivities among single-stranded sequences, with nearest neighbors playing substantial roles. Remarkably, certain small loops are found to be far more reactive on average (up to 4000-fold) than single-stranded RNAs, due to conformational constraints that enhance reactivity. Among loops, we observe large variations in reactivity based on size, type, and position. The results lend insights into RNA designs for achieving high-efficiency local conjugation and provide new data to refine structure analysis.

FragSeq: transcriptome-wide RNA structure probing using high-throughput sequencing.

Project description:To accelerate previous RNA structure probing approaches, which focus on analyzing one RNA sequence at a time, we have developed FragSeq, a high-throughput RNA structure probing method that uses high-throughput RNA sequencing to identify single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) regions from fragments generated by nuclease P1, which is specific for single-stranded nucleic acids. In the accompanying study, we show that we can accurately and simultaneously map ssRNA regions in multiple non-coding RNAs with known structure in experiments probing the entire mouse nuclear transcriptome. We carried out probing in two cell types to assess reproducibility. We also identified and experimentally validated structured regions in ncRNAs never previously probed.

spKAS-seq reveals R-loop dynamics using low-input materials by detecting single-stranded DNA with strand specificity

Project description:R-loops impact transcription and genome stability and are related to human diseases. Genome-wide R-loop mapping typically uses the S9.6 antibody or inactive RNase H, both requiring a large number of cells with varying results observed depending on the approach applied. Here, we present strand-specific KAS-seq (spKAS-seq) to map R-loops by taking advantage of the presence of a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in the triplex structure. We show that spKAS-seq detects R-loops and their dynamics at coding sequences, enhancers, and other intergenic regions with as few as 50,000 cells and eliminates potential bias towards open chromatin and RNase H-sensitive regions. A joint analysis of R-loops and chromatin-bound RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) suggested that R-loops can be RBP-binding hotspots on the chromatin.

Two Distinct Types of RNA:DNA Hybrids Revealed by Evaluating Divergent “R-loop” Profiles Detected with Different Mapping Strategies

Project description:R-loop, a three-stranded nucleic acid structure, has been recognized to play pivotal roles in critical physiological and pathological processes. Multiple technologies have been developed to profile R-loops genome-wide, but the existing data suffer from major discrepancies on determining genuine R-loop localization and its biological functions. Here, we experimentally and computationally evaluate eight representative R-loop mapping technologies, and reveal inherent biases and artifacts of individual technologies as key sources of discrepancies. Analyzing signals detected with different R-loop mapping strategies, we note that genuine R-loops predominately form at gene promoter regions, whereas most signals in gene body likely result from structured RNAs as part of repeat-containing transcripts. Interestingly, our analysis also uncovers two classes of R-loops: The first class consists of typical R-loops where the single-stranded DNA binding protein RPA binds both the template and non-template strands. By contrast, the second class appears independent of Pol II-mediated transcription and is characterized by RPA binding only in the template strand. These two different classes of RNA:DNA hybrids in the genome suggest distinct biochemical activities involved in their formation and regulation. In sum, our findings will guide future use of suitable technology for specific experimental purposes and the interpretation of R-loop functions.

Back-spliced RNA from Retrotransposon Binds to Centromere and Regulates Centromeric Chromatin Loops in Maize

Project description:In most plants, centromeric DNA contains highly repetitive sequences, including tandem repeats and retrotransposons; however, the roles of these sequences in the structure and function of the centromere are unclear. Here, we found that retrotransposon-derived back-spliced RNA can bind to the centromere through R-loops and regulate the formation of centromeric chromatin loops. Multiple RNA sequences from centromeric retrotransposons (CRMs) were enriched in maize (Zea mays) centromeres and back spliced RNA from CRM1 were detected. We identified three types of circular CRM1 RNAs with the same back-splicing site based on the back-spliced sequences. These circular RNAs bound to the centromere through R-loops. Two R-loop sites inside a single circular RNA promoted the formation of chromatin loops in CRM1 regions. When RNAi was used to target the back-spliced site of the circular CRM1 RNAs, the levels of R-loops and chromatin loops formed by these circular RNAs decreased, while the levels of R-loops produced by linear RNAs with similar binding sites increased. Linear RNAs with only one R-loop site could not promote chromatin loop formation. Higher levels of R-loops and lower levels of chromatin loops in the CRM1 regions of RNAi plants led to a reduced localization of the centromeric H3 variant (CENH3). Our work reveals that centromeric chromatin organization by circular CRM1 RNAs via R-loops and chromatin loops. R-loops are integral components of centromeric chromatin. Proper centromere structure is essential for CENH3 localization. CRM1 elements may have helped to build a suitable chromatin environment during centromere evolution.

eIF4A1 unwinding activity is RNA sequence-specifically deployed through eIF4A1-multimerisation to facilitate translation of mRNAs with local repressive RNA structure

Project description:Oncogenic translational programmes are an emerging hallmark of cancer and often driven by dysregulation of signaling pathways including KRAS and mTORC that converge on the eukaryotic translation initiation (eIF) 4F complex. Altered eIF4F activity promotes translation of oncogene mRNAs that typically contain highly structured 5’UTRs rendering their translation strongly dependent on RNA unwinding by DEAD-box helicase eIF4A1 subunit of the eIF4F complex. In addition, eIF4A1 separately functions to load mRNA into the 43S pre-initiation complex (PIC), an essential step for the translation of cellular mRNA. While eIF4A1-dependent mRNAs have been widely investigated, it is still unclear if highly structured mRNAs recruit and activate eIF4A1 unwinding specifically. Here, we uncover that unwinding by eIF4A1 is activated in an RNA sequence-dependent manner in cells. Our data demonstrate that eIF4A1-dependent mRNAs contain specific RNA sequences, particularly enriched for polypurine-motifs, in their 5’UTR which recruit and specifically stimulate unwinding of local repressive RNA structure by eIF4A1 in an RNA sequence-dependent manner to facilitate translation. Mechanistically, we show that polypurine-rich sequences trigger the formation of RNA sequence-specific multimeric eIF4A1-complexes, assembled of catalytically distinct eIF4A1 subunits, the joint activity of which enhances RNA unwinding activity. Together with our structural data, we describe a model in which conformational changes within eIF4A1 and the RNA through the process of eIF4A1 multimerisation, lead to an optimal interaction of eIF4A1-unwinding subunits with the structured RNA region which enhances unwinding. Hence, we conclude that RNA sequences in addition to protein cofactors contribute to the regulation of cellular eIF4A1 function and promotion of translation of eIF4A1-unwinding dependent mRNAs.

Global signatures of protein binding on structural RNAs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:Protein binding is essential to the transport, decay and regulation of almost all RNA molecules. However, the structural preference of protein binding on RNAs and their cellelar functions and dynamics upon changing environmental condictions are poorly understood. Here, we integrated various high-throughput data and introduced a computational framework to describe the global interactions between RNA binding proteins (RBPs) and structured RNAs in yeast at single-nucleotide resolution. We found that on average, in terms of percent total lengths, ~15% of mRNA untranslated regions (UTRs), ~37% of canonical ncRNAs and ~11% of long ncRNA (lncRNAs) are bound by proteins. The RBP binding sites, in general, tend to occur at single-stranded loops, with evolutionarily conserved signatures, and often facilitate a specific RNA structure conformation in vivo. We found that four nucleotide modifications of tRNA are significantly associated with RBP binding. We also identified various structural motifs bound by RBPs in the UTRs of mRNAs, associated with localization, degradation and stress responces. Moreover, we identified >200 novel lncRNAs bound by RBPs, and about half of them contain conserved secondary structures. We present the first ensemble pattern of RBP binding sites in the structured noncoding regions of a eukaryotic genome, emphasizing their structural context and cellular functions. Duplicate gPAR-CLIP libraries were sequenced from yeast strains for each of three conditions: log-phase growth, growth after 2 hour glucose starvation, and growth after 2 hour nitrogen starvation. polyA RNAs were isolated for all conditions. Total RNA were isolated from log phase growth conditions. Sucrose gradient fractionation was performed: some RNAs were isolated from the "light" fraction (lighter than 40S ribosome) and some from the "heavy" fraction. gPAR-CLIP libraries were used to determine regions of RNA bound by proteins.

Long noncoding RNA CCTT recruits CENP-C to centromeres by directly binding to centromeric DNA [SHAPE-Map]

Project description:To refine the authentic CENP-C binding sites of lnc-CCTT and globally map lnc-CCTT secondary structure, we also performed SHAPE-MaP (selective 2’-hydroxyl acylation analyzes by primer extension and mutational profiling), which uses hydroxyl-selective electrophiles to modify the 2’-hydroxyl groups of unbound single-stranded nucleotides, in HeLa cells both ex vivo and in vivo. Lnc-CCTT secondary structure was modeled by combination SHAPE data from cell-free ex vivo with pairing probabilities. As expected, nucleotides 43-79 nt, a determinant for RNA-DNA triplex formation, exhibited a continuous single-strandedness, which may be prone to binding DNA. More importantly, only nucleotides 118-177 nt, which was folded into a stem-loop structure in the secondary structure, showed a significant reduced SHAPE reactivities in cell when comparing to cell-free state, suggesting this region could be attributed to interaction with protein components.

TDP-1, the C. elegans ortholog of TDP-43, limits the accumulation of double stranded RNA

Project description:C. elegans mutants deleted for TDP-1, an ortholog of the neurodegeneration-associated RNA binding protein TDP-43, display only mild phenotypes. Nevertheless, transcriptome sequencing revealed that many RNAs were altered in accumulation and/or processing in the mutant. Analysis of these transcriptional abnormalities demonstrates that a primary function of TDP-1 is to limit formation or stability of double-stranded RNA. Specifically, we found that deletion of tdp-1: 1) preferentially alters the accumulation of RNAs with inherent double stranded structure (dsRNA); 2) increases the accumulation of nuclear dsRNA foci, 3) enhances the frequency of adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing, and 4) dramatically increases the amount of transcripts immunoprecipitable with a dsRNA-specific antibody, including intronic sequences, RNAs with antisense overlap to another transcript, and transposons. We also show that TDP-43 knockdown in human cells results in accumulation of dsRNA , indicating that suppression of dsRNA is a conserved function of TDP-43 in mammals. Altered accumulation of structured RNA may account for some of the previously described molecular phenotypes (e.g., altered splicing) resulting from reduction of TDP-43 function.
