MRNA splicing is modulated by intronic microRNAs

ABSTRACT: Splicing of transcripts is catalyzed by the spliceosome, a mega-complex consisting of hundreds of proteins and five snRNAs, which employs direct interactions. When U1 snRNA forms high affinity binding, namely more than eight base-pairs, with the 5’SS, the result is usually a suppressing effect on the splicing activity. This likely occurs due to the inefficient unwinding of U1/5’SS base-pairing, or other regulatory obstructions. Here we show in vitro and in patient-derived cell lines that pre-microRNAs can modulate the splicing reaction by interacting with U1 snRNA. This leads to reduced binding affinity to the 5’SS, and hence promotes the inclusion of exons containing 5’SS, despite sequence-based high affinity to U1. Application of the mechanism resulted in correction of the splicing defect in the disease-causing VCAN gene from an individual with Wagner syndrome. This pre-miRNA/U1 interaction can regulate the expression of alternatively spliced exons, thus extending the scope of mechanisms regulating splicing.

Novel RNA-binding Proteins Bind U1 snRNA to Promote Splicing of Weak 5' Splice Sites

Project description:Removal of introns during pre-mRNA splicing, which is central to gene expression, initiates by base pairing of U1 snRNA with a 5' splice site (5'SS). In mammals, many introns contain weak 5'SSs that are not efficiently recognized by the canonical U1 snRNP, suggesting alternative mechanisms exist. Here, we develop a cross-linking immunoprecipitation coupled to a high-throughput sequencing method, BCLIP-seq, to identify NRDE2 (Nuclear RNAi defective-2) and CCDC174 (Coiled-Coil Domain-Containing 174) as novel RNA-binding proteins in mouse ES cells that associate with U1 snRNA and unspliced 5'SSs. Both proteins bind directly to U1 snRNA independently of canonical U1 snRNP specific proteins, and they are required for the selection and effective processing of weak 5'SSs. Our results reveal that mammalian cells use non-canonical splicing factors bound directly to U1 snRNA to effectively select suboptimal 5'SS sequences in hundreds of genes, promoting proper splice site choice and accurate pre-mRNA splicing.

Selected humanization of yeast U1 snRNP leads to global suppression of pre-mRNA splicing and mitochondrial dysfunction in the budding yeast

Project description:The recognition of 5’ splice site (5’ ss) is one of the earliest steps of pre-mRNA splicing. To better understand the mechanism and regulation of 5’ ss recognition, we selectively humanized components of the yeast U1 snRNP to reveal the function of these components in 5’ ss recognition and splicing. We targeted U1C and Luc7, two proteins that interact with and stabilize the yeast U1 (yU1) snRNA and the 5’ ss RNA duplex. We replaced the Zinc-Finger (ZnF) domain of yU1C with its human counterpart, which resulted in cold-sensitive growth phenotype and moderate splicing defects. Next, we added an auxin-inducible degron to yLuc7 protein and found that Luc7-depleted yU1 snRNP resulted in the concomitant loss of PRP40 and Snu71 (two other essential yeast U1 snRNP proteins), and further biochemical analyses suggest a model of how these three proteins interact with each other in the U1 snRNP. The loss of these proteins resulted in a significant growth retardation accompanied by a global suppression of pre-mRNA splicing. The splicing suppression led to mitochondrial dysfunction as revealed by a release of Fe2+ into the growth medium and an induction of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. Together, these observations indicate that the human U1C ZnF can substitute that of yeast, Luc7 is essential for the incorporation of the Luc7-Prp40-Snu71 trimer into yeast U1 snRNP, and splicing plays a major role in the regulation of mitochondria function in yeast.

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.

Spliceosome specifically associates with CTD phospho-serine 5 isoform of RNA polymerase II to promote co-transcriptional splicing

Project description:Co-transcriptional splicing of introns is a defining feature of eukaryotic gene expression. We show that the mammalian spliceosome specifically associates with the S5P CTD isoform of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) as it elongates across spliced exons of protein coding genes, both in human Hela and murine lymphoid cell lines. Immuno-precipitation of MNase digested chromatin with phospho CTD specific antibodies reveals that components of the active spliceosome (both snRNA and proteins) form a specific complex with S5P CTD Pol II. Furthermore a dominant splicing intermediate formed by cleavage at intron 5’ss results in the tethering of upstream exons to this complex at all spliced exons. These are invariably connected to upstream spliced constitutive and less frequently to alternative exons. Finally S5P CTD Pol II accumulates over spliced exons but not adjacent introns. We propose that mammalian splicing employs a rapid, co-transcriptional splicing mechanism based on CTD phosphorylation transitions.

Frac-Seq Analysis of ZFC3H1 Knockdown U2OS Cells

Project description:We have found that depletion of the zinc finger protein ZFC3H1 inhibits the nuclear retention of these RNAs. ZFC3H1 forms a complex with MTR4 and PABPN1 (the PolyAdenylation EXosome Targeting complex (Meola et al 2016, Ogami et al 2017) and likely recruits the nuclear exosome for RNA degradation. Recently, we found that depletion of U1-70K, one protein component of the U1 snRNP spliceosomal complex, inhibits nuclear retention of 5’SS motif containing RNAs. The U1 snRNP complex recognizes and binds to the 5’SS motif and in vitro studies showed that U1-70K directly interact with a similar 5’SS motif through U1 snRNA binding (Gunderson et al 1999). Interestingly, we found that U1 snRNP is involved in targeting 5’SS motif containing mRNAs to nuclear speckles shortly following RNA transcription. In contrast, ZFC3H1 is involved in nuclear speckle localization post-transcriptionally and actively retain RNAs in these structures. Together, our results suggest a model where U1 snRNP interacts with the RNA via the 5’SS motif and targets mature mRNAs to nuclear speckles. Specifically, it suggests that misprocessed RNAs can be targeted to speckles (or other nucleoplasmic foci) and that these foci serve as a platform to recruit the nuclear exosome via ZFC3H1. Our results highlight a splicing independent role of U1 snRNP and how mRNA nuclear export function in nuclear surveillance to prevent the translation of aberrant proteins.

Analysis of transcriptome changes in HeLa cells after knock-down of variant U1.8 snRNA

Project description:U1 small nuclear (sn)RNA, required for splicing of pre-mRNA, is encoded by genes on chromosome 1p36. Imperfect copies of these ‘true’ (t)U1 snRNA genes, located on chromosome 1q12-21, were thought to be pseudogenes. However, many of these ‘variant’ (v)U1 snRNA genes produce fully-processed transcripts that are packaged into potentially functional particles. Using antisense oligonucleotides, we have achieved functional knockdown of a specific vU1 snRNA in HeLa cells and identified over 400 transcriptome changes following interrogation of the Affymetrix Human Exon ST 1.0 array. Total RNA from 4 biological repeats of vU1.8 snRNA and control knock-down were analysed using Affymetrix Human Exon ST 1.0 Array.

Splicing factors and chromatin organization enhance exon recognition by alleviating constraints generated by gene nucleotide composition bias

Project description:To characterize the rules governing exon recognition during splicing, we analyzed RNA-seq datasets and identified ~4,000 GC-rich and ~5,000 AT-rich exons, labelled GC-exons and AT-exons, respectively whose inclusion depends on different sets of splicing factors. We show that a high GC-load is associated with predicted RNA secondary structures at 5'ss and that GC-exons are dependent on U1 snRNP-associated proteins. Meanwhile, a high AT-load is associated with a large number of decoy splicing-related signals upstream exons such as the number of branchpoints and SF1- or U2AF65-binding sites and AT-exons are dependent on U2 snRNP-associated proteins. Nucleotide composition bias also influences local chromatin organization. Since the GC content of exons correlates with that of their hosting-genes, -isochores and – topologically-associated domains, we propose that regional nucleotide composition bias leaves a footprint locally, at the exon level, inducing, during splicing, constraints that are alleviated by the local chromatin organization and specific splicing factors.

Arabidopsis SME interactome reveals spliceosome components

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) can produce multiple transcripts with different exon-intron structures from a single pre-mRNA. Pre-mRNA splicing is catalyzed by a dynamic macromolecular ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex termed the spliceosome. The spliceosome consists of several small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) that bind uridine-rich small nuclear RNA (snRNA). In U1, U2, U4 and U5 snRNPs, snRNA interacts with the conserved Smith antigen (Sm) proteins via a bipartite Sm sequence motif. In eukaryotes, seven Sm proteins (B, D1/2/3, E, F and G) form a heptameric ring-shaped complex surrounding the snRNA. Here, we performed a tandem affinity purification using SMEB as a bait in Arabidopsis cell suspension cultures. At least 45 known/hypothesized and potential novel spliceosome components were identified in Arabidopsis.
