Gene expression study of SMG6 and WT mouse fibroblast primary cell culture

ABSTRACT: Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) has been intensively studied as a surveillance pathway that degrades erroneous transcripts arising from mutations or mis-splicing. Additional roles for NMD in determining mRNA stability in regular gene expression have emerged as well, yet it is poorly known which functions the pathway has in regular mammalian physiology in vivo. Here, we report a novel conditional Smg6 mouse allele that allows converting wild-type SMG6 to a nuclease-mutant version of the protein. We analyzed the consequences of an inactive NMD pathway on the function of the circadian clock whose mechanism is known to depend on high turnover rates of their oscillating mRNAs and proteins. Fibroblast and liver clocks show strong lengthening of free-running circadian periods under Smg6 mutant conditions. We identify a specific core clock component, Cry2, as directly NMD-regulated through its long 3' UTR. Our findings indicate that NMD has been co-opted as an mRNA decay pathway to limit the temporal availability of CRY2, one of the key transcriptional repressors in the rhythm-generating feedback loop, expanding the known scope of NMD regulation in vivo.

Direct identification of endogenous SMG6 targets and a preferred motif spanning SMG6 cleavage sites by parallel analysis of RNA ends in human cells

Project description:In metazoans, the endoribonuclease SMG6 is thought to cleave many endogenous mRNAs targeted for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). However, most evidence as to the identity of endogenous SMG6 substrates is indirect, and little is known about their cleavage sites. Here, we report the efficacy of an RNA degradome approach called parallel analysis of RNA ends (PARE) for identifying NMD intermediates in human cells. By specifically sequencing the 5’ ends of intermediates dependent on SMG6 and the critical NMD factor UPF1, hundreds of endogenous transcripts that are direct targets of SMG6 have been revealed. A preferred sequence motif spanning most SMG6 cleavage sites has been identified and validated by mutational analysis. For many SMG6 substrates, depletion of SMG6 leads to decapping of the RNAs. These findings provide key insights into NMD and targeting by SMG6 while also demonstrating the potential of PARE for analyzing other ribonucleases with diverse endogenous substrates.

UPF1 helicase orchestrates mutually exclusive interactions with the SMG6 endonuclease and UPF2

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a conserved co-translational mRNA surveillance and turnover pathway across eukaryotes. NMD has a central role in degrading defective mRNAs and also regulates the stability of a significant portion of the transcriptome. The pathway is organized around UPF1, an RNA helicase that can interact with several NMD-specific factors. In human cells, degradation of the targeted mRNAs begins with a cleavage event that requires the recruitment of the SMG6 endonuclease to UPF1. Previous studies have identified functional links between SMG6 and UPF1, but the underlying molecular mechanisms have remained elusive. In this work, we used mass spectrometry, structural biology and biochemical approaches to identify and characterize a conserved short linear motif in SMG6 that interacts with the cysteine/histidine-rich (CH) domain of UPF1. Unexpectedly, we found that the UPF1-SMG6 interaction is precluded when the UPF1 CH domain is engaged with another NMD factor, UPF2. Based on cryo-EM data, we propose that the formation of distinct SMG6-containing and UPF2-containing NMD complexes may be dictated by the RNA-binding status of UPF1. Our findings rationalize a key event in the metazoan NMD quality control pathway and progress our understanding of mechanisms regulating activity and guiding substrate recognition by the SMG6 endonuclease.

Smg6 interacting partners in mouse

Project description:Nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) is a highly conserved and selective RNA turnover pathway that depends on the endonuclease SMG6. Here, we show that SMG6 is essential for male germ cell differentiation in mice. Germ-cell conditional knockout (cKO) of Smg6 induces extensive transcriptome misregulation, including a failure to eliminate meiotically expressed transcripts in early haploid cells, and accumulation of NMD target mRNAs with long 3’ untranslated regions (UTRs). Loss of SMG6 in the male germline results in complete arrest of spermatogenesis at the early haploid cell stage. We find that SMG6 is strikingly enriched in the chromatoid body (CB), a specialized cytoplasmic granule in male germ cells also harboring PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and the piRNA-binding protein PIWIL1.

The NMD endonuclease SMG6 co-operates with the piRNA pathway in germ granules to shape the male germ cell transcriptome

Project description:Nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) is a conserved RNA turnover pathway. Here we report that the sole endonuclease in the NMD pathway, SMG6, is essential for the male germline. Germ-cell conditional knockout (cKO) of Smg6 causes complete arrest of spermatogenesis at the early haploid cell stage. Smg6-cKO round spermatids accumulate NMD target mRNAs with long 3’ untranslated regions (UTRs) and fail to eliminate transcripts normally expressed during meiosis, the previous step in spermatogenesis. SMG6 and PIWI-interacting (pi) RNA pathway components are highly enriched in the chromatoid body (CB), a specialized cytoplasmic granule in male germ cells. This led to the intriguing possibility that the CB is a site where SMG6 and the piRNA pathway co-operate to regulate RNA metabolism. Several findings supported this hypothesis: (i) SMG6 and the piRNA-binding protein PIWIL1 have almost identical temporal expression and localization patterns, (ii) SMG6 and PIWIL1 physically interact, (iii) scores of genes upregulated in Smg6-cKO round spermatids overlap with those upregulated in Piwil1-KO round spermatids, and (iv) the phenotypic defects caused by SMG6 loss phenocopies the defects caused by PIWIL1 loss. Together, our results demonstrate that SMG6 is an essential regulator of the male germline transcriptome and highlight the CB as a molecular platform coordinating RNA regulatory pathways to control sperm production and fertility.

mRNA-Seq from control cells and two clones of Flp-In-T-REx-293 cells modified via CRISPR-Cas9 to knockout SMG7 in combination to knockdowns of control, SMG5, and SMG6

Project description:Mature mRNAs undergo quality control during translation that may lead to RNA degradation by triggering the nonsense mediated decay (NMD) pathway. Aberrant translation due to features such as the presence of a premature stop codon downstream on an exon-exon junction or an intron in the 3'UTR activates NMD. However, many of the features that lead to the activation of this pathway are unclear. UPF1, an RNA helicase, is the core NMD factor. UPF1 forms a multi-protein complex by recruiting a series of factors and other protein complexes in a process that depends on the UPF1 phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle. Among the factors recruited by UPF1, SMG5-SMG7 and SMG6 have critical importance in executing NMD. The SMG5-SMG7 heterodimer induces the exonucleolytic degradation of the mRNA, which depends on the recruitment of deadenylation factors. SMG6 has endonucleolytic activity and cleaves the targeted transcript close to the stop codon. The redundancy between the exonucleolytic and endonucleolytic paths to achieve degradation during NMD has been previously reported in the literature. To investigate the apparent redundancy between SMG5-SMG7 and SMG6 activity and to further understand the features that lead to the activation of NMD, we have generated two clones of SMG7 knockout human cells using CRISPR-Cas9. We generated mRNA-Sequencing data for control and both SMG7 KO clones with additional siRNA-mediated knockdown of Luciferase (Luc) as control, SMG5 or SMG6.

Global mRNA half-lives measurement in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay deficient ESCs

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway promotes the degradation of several mRNA species, including transcripts containing a premature termination codon. Here,we measured global mRNA half-lives in NMD deficient and wild-type (WT) embryonic stem cells (ESCs). This allowed us to discriminate which transcripts are affected by NMD. Several transcripts had an impaired half-life in Smg5 and Smg6 KO ESCs compared to WT. They belong to different pathways and cellular processing indicating that NMD regulates multiple processes in the cells. Finally, majority of the transcripts had an impairment on the half-life in both Smg5 and Smg6 KO ESCs indicating that endo- and exonucleolityc branches of the NMD pathway target the same mRNAs.

Regulated endocleavage balances the degradation of nonsense-mediated decay substrates

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) controls gene expression by eliminating mRNAs with premature or aberrant translation termination. Degradation of NMD substrates is initiated by the central NMD factor UPF1, which recruits the endonuclease SMG6 and the deadenylation-promoting SMG5/7 complex. Here we map transcriptome-wide sites of SMG6-mediated endocleavage via 3′ fragment capture and degradome sequencing.

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay relies on "two-factor authentication" by SMG5-SMG7

Project description:Eukaryotic gene expression is constantly regulated and controlled by the translation-coupled nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway. Aberrant translation termination leads to NMD activation and robust clearance of NMD targets via two seemingly independent and redundant mRNA degradation branches. Here, we uncover that the loss of the first SMG5-SMG7-dependent pathway also inactivates the second SMG6-dependent branch, indicating an unexpected functional hierarchy of the final NMD steps. Transcriptome-wide analyses of SMG5-SMG7-depleted cells confirm complete NMD inhibition resulting in massive transcriptomic alterations. The NMD activity conferred by SMG5-SMG7 is determined to varying degrees by their interaction with the central NMD factor UPF1, heterodimer formation and the initiation of deadenylation. Surprisingly, we find that SMG5 functionally substitutes SMG7 and vice versa. Our data support an improved model for NMD execution that features two-factor authentication involving UPF1 phosphorylation and SMG5-SMG7 recruitment to access SMG6 activity.

Total RNA sequencing in neuroprogenitors after SMG6 deletion

Project description:Identification of transcriptome changes in neuroprogenitor cells deficient for SMG6 mediated nonsence mediated mRNA decay with the aim to identify specific pathways or single genes causing the observed phenotype. Nestin-cre mediated Smg6 inactivation caused perinatal lethality and defective late cortical neurogenesis due to reduced renewal and survival of the cortical neuroprogenitor cells. However the Emx1-cre mediated deletion only in cortical and hippocampal progenitors did not cause comparable phenotypes. RNAseq identified mainly cell cycle and DNA damage response pathways modulating the transcriptome. FOXM1 was identified as possible upstream regulator of interneuron progenitor fate.
