Non-canonical RNA substrates of Drosha lack many of the conserved features found in primary microRNA stem-loops

ABSTRACT: The RNase III enzyme Drosha has a central role in microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis, where it required to release the stem-loop intermediate from primary (pri)-miRNA transcripts. However, it can also cleave stem-loops embedded within messenger (m)RNAs. This destabilizes the mRNA causing target gene repression and has been found to occur primarily in stem cells. While pri-miRNA stem-loops have been extensively studied, such non-canonical substrates of Drosha has yet to characterized in detail. In this study, we employed high-throughput sequencing to capture all polyA-tailed RNAs that are cleaved by Drosha in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We then compared the features of non-canonical versus miRNA stem-loop substrates. First, these mRNA substrates are less efficiently processed than miRNA stem-loops. Sequence and structural analyses revealed that these substrates are also less stable and more likely to fold into alternative structures than miRNA stem-loops. Moreover, they lack the sequence and structural motifs found in miRNAs stem-loops that are required for precise cleavage. Notably, we discovered a non-canonical Drosha substrate that is cleaved in an inverse manner, which is a process that is normally inhibited by features in miRNA stem-loops. Our study thus provides valuable insights into the recognition of non-canonical targets by Drosha.

A quantitative map of human primary microRNA processing sites

Project description:Maturation of canonical microRNA (miRNA) is initiated by DROSHA that cleaves the primary transcript (pri-miRNA). Over 1,800 miRNA loci are annotated in humans, but it remains largely unknown if and at which sites the pri-miRNAs are cleaved by DROSHA. Here we performed in vitro processing on a full set of human pri-miRNAs (miRBase v21) followed by sequencing. This comprehensive profiling enabled us to classify miRNAs based on DROSHA-dependence and map their cleavage sites with respective processing efficiency measures. Only 758 pri-miRNAs are confidently processed by DROSHA, while the majority may be non-canonical or false entries. Analyses of the DROSHA-dependent pri-miRNAs show key cis-elements for processing. We observe widespread alternative processing as well as unproductive cleavage events such as “nick” or “inverse” processing. SRSF3 is a broad-acting auxiliary factor modulating alternative processing and suppressing unproductive processing. The profiling data and methods developed in this study will allow systematic analyses of miRNA regulation.

MicroRNA-seq of cell lines expressing pri-miR-9 paralog constructs II

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) biogenesis begins with Drosha cleavage, the fidelity of which is critical for downstream processing and mature miRNA target specificity. To understand how pri-miRNA sequence and structure influence Drosha cleavage, we studied the processing of pri-miR-9-1 sequence variants, which encode the same mature miRNA but differ in the surrounding scaffold. We show that, in addition to previously known features, the overall structural flexibility of pri-miRNA impacts Drosha cleavage fidelity. Internal loops and nearby G·U wobble pairs on the pri-miRNA stem induce the use of non-canonical cleavage sites by Drosha, resulting in 5’ isomiR production. Here, we report the the miRNA-seq data of HEK293T cell lines transfected with different pri-miR-9 constructs.

Genome-wide mapping of DROSHA cleavage sites on primary microRNAs and novel substrates [fCLIP-seq]

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) maturation is initiated by DROSHA, a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-specific RNase III enzyme. By cleaving primary miRNAs (pri-miRNAs) at specific positions, DROSHA serves as a main determinant of miRNA sequences and a highly selective gate-keeper for the canonical miRNA pathway. However, the sites of DROSHA-mediated processing have not been annotated on a genomic scale, and it remains unclear to what extent DROSHA functions outside the miRNA pathway. Here we establish a protocol termed ‘formaldehyde crosslinking and immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (fCLIP-seq)’ that allows identification of DROSHA cleavage sites at single nucleotide resolution. fCLIP identifies numerous cleavage sites that do not match the ends of annotated mature miRNAs, particularly at the 3′ termini, suggesting widespread end modifications during miRNA maturation such as trimming and tailing. fCLIP also finds many pri-miRNAs undergoing alternative processing, yielding multiple miRNA isoforms. Moreover, we discover dozens of novel substrates that are bound and cleaved by DROSHA. These substrates are processed less efficiently than canonical pri-miRNAs, and produce only minute amounts of small RNAs. Depletion of DROSHA results in an increase of the hairpin-containing transcripts. Thus, the hairpins may serve mainly as cis-elements for DROSHA-mediated gene regulation rather than as miRNA genes. fCLIP-seq not only accurately maps the cleavage sites of DROSHA and suggests noncanonical functions of DROSHA, but also could be a general tool for investigating interactions between dsRNA binding proteins and structured RNAs.

Global identification of target recognition and cleavage by the Microprocessor in human ESCs.

Project description:The Microprocessor plays an essential role in canonical miRNA biogenesis by facilitating cleavage of stem-loop structures in primary transcripts to yield pre-miRNAs. Although miRNA biogenesis has been extensively studied through biochemical and molecular genetic approaches, it has yet to be addressed to what extent the current miRNA biogenesis models hold true in intact cells. To address the issues of in vivo recognition and cleavage by the Microprocessor, we investigate RNAs that are associated with DGCR8 and Drosha by using immunoprecipitation coupled with next-generation sequencing. Here, we present global protein-RNA interactions with unprecedented sensitivity and specificity. Our data indicate that precursors of canonical miRNAs and miRNA-like hairpins are the major substrates of the Microprocessor. As a result of specific enrichment of nascent cleavage products, we are able to pinpoint the Microprocessor-mediated cleavage sites per se at single-nucleotide resolution. Unexpectedly, a 2-nt 3M-bM-^@M-^Y overhang invariably exists at the ends of cleaved bases instead of nascent pre-miRNAs. Besides canonical miRNA precursors, we find that two novel miRNA-like structures embedded in mRNAs are cleaved to yield pre-miRNA-like hairpins, uncoupled from miRNA maturation. Our data provide a framework for in vivo Microprocessor-mediated cleavage and a foundation for experimental and computational studies on miRNA biogenesis in living cells.

The high-throughput pri-miRNA cleavage assays on 262144 variants

Project description:Microprocessor (MP), DROSHA-DGCR8, processes primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs) to initiate miRNA biogenesis. The canonical cleavage mechanism of MP has been extensively investigated and comprehensively validated for two decades. However, this canonical mechanism cannot account for the processing of certain pri-miRNAs in animals. In this study, by conducting high-throughput pri-miRNA cleavage assays for approximately 260,000 pri-miRNA sequences, we discovered and comprehensively characterized a noncanonical cleavage mechanism of MP. This noncanonical mechanism does not need several RNA and protein elements essential for the canonical mechanism; instead, it utilizes previously unrecognized DROSHA dsRNA recognition sites (DRES). Interestingly, the noncanonical mechanism is conserved across animals and plays a particularly significant role in C. elegans. Our established noncanonical mechanism elucidates MP cleavage in numerous RNA substrates unaccounted for by the canonical mechanism in animals. This study suggests a broader substrate repertoire of animal MPs and an expanded regulatory landscape for miRNA biogenesis.

The RNA Binding Protein EWS Is Broadly Involved in the Regulation of Pri-miRNA Processing in Mammalian Cells

Project description:The Ewing Sarcoma protein (EWS) is a multifaceted RNA binding protein (RBP) with established roles in transcription, pre-mRNA processing, and DNA damage response. By generating high quality EWS-RNA interactome, we uncovered its specific and prevalent interaction with a large subset of primary microRNAs (pri-miRNA). Depletion of EWS reduced, while overexpression enhanced, the expression of its target miRNAs. Biochemical analysis revealed that multiple elements in target pri-miRNAs, including the sequences flanking the stem-loop region, contribute to EWS binding and sequence swap between target and non-target demonstrated that the flanking sequences provide the specificity for enhanced pri-miRNA processing by the Microprocessor Drosha/DGCR8. Interestingly, as previously reported and we confirmed, EWS appears to repress Drosha expression, and we further demonstrated that EWS is able to enhance the recruitment of Drosha to the chromatin. Together, these findings suggest that EWS may positively and negatively regulate miRNA biogenesis, but via distinct mechanisms, thus providing a new foundation to understand the function of EWS in development and disease.
