Origins and division of labor in trypanosome RNA processing through expanded Mex67 paralogs

ABSTRACT: In animals and fungi mRNA export to the cytoplasm is mediated by the Mex67/Mtr2 (NXF1/NXT1) heterodimer. In contrast to most nucleocytoplasmic transport, canonical mRNA export requires ATP-dependent remodeling machinery and is Ran-independent. Remarkably, we show here that trypanosomes have three distinct Mex67 paralogs that we term TbMex67, TbMex67b and TbMex67L. Each has a distinct non-redundant role in rRNA processing and mRNA export. Specifically, TbMex67 and TbMex67b retain roles in mRNA export, albeit associating with specific mRNA cohorts and differing protein and mRNA interactomes in vertebrate and procyclic (insect) form parasites. Further, TbMex67 and TbMex67b paralogs associate with the Ran export machinery, rather than ATP-dependent helicases, demonstrating significant departures in RNA export mechanisms in trypanosomes. In contrast, TbMex67L is not involved in RNA export, but primarily participates in ribosome biogenesis, specifically the 60S subunit. Thus, trypanosomes have diverse functionalities and mechanisms for their Mex67 proteins, with implications for the evolutionary origins and diversity of control of gene expression.

Control of gene expression by Ott1/RBM15 protein

Project description:The conserved mRNA nuclear export receptor NXF1 (Mex67 in yeast) assembles with messenger ribonucleoproteins (mRNP) in the nucleus and guides them through the nuclear pore complex (NPC) into the cytoplasm. The DEAD-box RNA helicase Dbp5 is essential for nuclear export of mRNA and is thought to dissociate Mex67 from mRNP upon translocation, thereby generating directional passage. However, the molecular mechanism by which Dbp5 recognizes Mex67-containing mRNP is not clear. Here we report that the human NXF1-binding protein RBM15 binds to DBP5 specifically and enables its direct contact with mRNA. We found that RBM15 is enriched at the nuclear envelope and colocalizes with DBP5 at the NPC. Knockout of RBM15’s orthologue in mouse (Ott1) leads to global changes in mRNA expression and excessive mRNA accumulation in the cytoplasm, indicating an essential role of RBM15 in mRNA export regulation. We propose that RBM15 acts locally at the NPC, by transiently bridging the NXF1-mRNP complexes to DBP5, thereby contributing to the substrate specificity of mRNA export.

Probing the trypanosome nuclear pore by TurboID proximity labelling – Part3

Project description:Previous BioID experiments targeting the nucleoporin (NUP) NUP158 (PMID: 36410438; PXD031245), as well as NUP110, NUP76, NUP96 (PMID: 39206942; PXD047268)and NUP75, transport factors MEX67 and Ran(PXD055934), indicated that proximity labelling delivers highly specific interactome data in the confined localisation of the nuclear pore, with a labelling radius well below the size of the nuclear pore. The resulting proximity data allowed to assign NUPs and nuclear transport factors to specific subregions of the pore. Here we extended this approach to target NUP98.

Nuclear export of circular RNA

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs), which can function as regulators of gene expression, are formed by back-splicing of precursor mRNAs in the nucleus. circRNAs are predominantly localized in the cytoplasm, indicating that they must be exported from the nucleus. Here, we uncover a pathway specific for nuclear export of circular RNA. This pathway requires Ran-GTP, Exportin-2 and IGF2BP1. Enhancing the nuclear Ran-GTP gradient by depletion or chemical inhibition of the major protein exporter, CRM1, selectively increases nuclear export of circRNAs, while reducing the nuclear Ran-GTP gradient selectively blocks circRNA export. Analysis of nuclear circRNA binding proteins reveals that interaction of IGF2BP1 with circRNA is enhanced by Ran-GTP, whereas its interaction with linear RNA is inhibited by Ran-GTP. Depletion or knockout of Exportin-2 specifically inhibits nuclear export of circRNA, while formation of an Exportin-2 circRNA export complex requires Ran-GTP and IGF2BP1. Our findings demonstrate that adaptors such as IGF2BP1 that bind directly to circular RNAs recruit Exportin-2 to export circRNAs in a mechanism analogous to protein export, rather than mRNA export.

Nuclear export of circular RNA

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs), which are increasingly being implicated in a variety of functions in normal and cancerous cells1-5, are formed by back-splicing of precursor mRNAs in the nucleus6-10. circRNAs are predom¬inantly localized in the cytoplasm, indicating that they must be exported from the nucleus. Here, we uncover a pathway specific for nuclear export of circular RNA. This pathway requires Ran-GTP, Exportin-2 and IGF2BP1. Enhancing the nuclear Ran-GTP gradient by depletion or chemical inhibition of the major protein exporter, CRM1, selectively increases nuclear export of circRNAs, while reducing the nuclear Ran-GTP gradient selectively blocks circRNA export. Depletion or knockout of Exportin-2 specifically inhibits nuclear export of circRNA. Analysis of nuclear circRNA binding proteins reveals that interaction of IGF2BP1 with circRNA is enhanced by Ran-GTP. Formation of circRNA export complexes in the nucleus is promoted by Ran-GTP through its interactions with IGF2BP1, Exportin-2 and circRNA. Our findings demonstrate that adaptors such as IGF2BP1 that bind directly to circular RNAs recruit Ran-GTP and Exportin-2 to export circRNAs in a mechanism analogous to protein export, rather than mRNA export.

Identification and function of components from a divergent mRNA export pathway in trypanosomes

Project description:mRNA export is central to gene regulation and expression. In trypanosomes, transcription is polycistronic, all mRNAs are processed by trans-splicing and export is mediated by non-canonical mechanisms. We have described several conserved mRNA export pathway components in Trypanosoma cruzi, including orthologs of Sub2, a component of the TREX complex, and eIF4AIII, a core component of the exon junction complex (EJC). Few orthologs of proteins involved in mRNA export in higher eukaryotes are detectable in trypanosome genomes and examples of mechanistic divergence well known. To uncover additional components of the trypanosome mRNA maturation and export system we undertook an unbiased search for protein interactors of TcSub2 and TceIF4AIII. Significant overlap between TcSub2 and TceIF4AIII interacting protein cohorts suggests that both proteins associate with similar machinery. We confirmed several interactions with conserved core components of the EJC and multiple additional complexes, together with identification of proteins specific to trypanosomatids. The highly interactive super-interactome uncovered here, capable of supporting RNA processing from splicing through to nuclear export and cytoplasmic events, highlights kinetoplastid-specific and conserved components creating an amalgam to support the unique mRNA maturation mechanisms in trypanosomes.

Mip6 binds directly to the Mex67 UBA domain to maintain low levels of Msn2/4 stress dependent mRNAs

Project description:RNA binding proteins (RBPs) participate in almost all steps of gene expression, underscoring their potential as key regulators of RNA homeostasis. We structurally and functionally characterized Mip6, a four-RNA Recognition Motif (RRM)-containing RBP, as a functional and physical interactor of the mRNA export factor Mex67. Mip6 directly interacts with the ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain of Mex67 through tryptophan 442 of Mip6-RRM4, whose mutation leads to slow growth of yeast cells in vivo. Although Mip6-RRM4 binds to RNA in vitro, Mex67 UBA binding prevents Mip6-RRM4 interaction with RNA. Mip6 shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a Mex67-dependent manner and concentrates in cytoplasmic foci under several stressors. Photoactivatable Ribonucleoside-Enhanced Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) experiments showed preferential binding of Mip6 to mRNAs regulated by the stress-response Msn2/4 transcription factors. Consistent with this binding, MIP6 deletion affected their export and expression levels. These results reveal a novel role for Mip6 in the homeostasis of Msn2/4 dependent transcripts by its direct interaction with Mex67 UBA domain.

Quality control of spliced mRNAs requires the shuttling SR-proteins Gbp2 and Hrb1

Project description:Eukaryotic cells have to prevent the export of unspliced pre-mRNAs until intron removal is completed to avoid the expression of aberrant and potentially harmful proteins. Only mature RNAs associate with the export receptor Mex67 (mammalian TAP) and enter the cytoplasm. The underlying nuclear quality control mechanisms are still unclear. Here we show that two shuttling SR-proteins Gbp2 and Hrb1 are key surveillance factors for the selective export of spliced mRNAs in yeast. Their absence leads to the significant leakage of unspliced pre-mRNAs into the cytoplasm. They bind to pre-mRNAs and the spliceosome during splicing, where they are necessary for the surveillance of splicing and the stable binding of the TRAMP-complex to the spliceosome-bound transcripts. Faulty transcripts are marked for their degradation at the nuclear exosome. On correct mRNAs the SR-proteins recruit Mex67 upon completion of splicing to allow a quality controlled nuclear export. Altogether, these data identify a role for shuttling SR-proteins in mRNA surveillance and nuclear mRNA quality control. 6 samples, i.e. 2 replicates per protein Gbp2, Hrb1 and Npl3
