TREX tetramer disruption alters RNA processing necessary for corticogenesis in THOC6 Intellectual Disability Syndrome

ABSTRACT: THOC6 is the genetic basis of autosomal recessive THOC6 Intellectual Disability Syndrome (TIDS). THOC6 is critical for mammalian Transcription Export complex (TREX) tetramer formation, which is composed of four six-subunit THO monomers. The TREX tetramer facilitates mammalian RNA processing, in addition to the nuclear mRNA export functions of the TREX dimer conserved through yeast. Human and mouse TIDS model systems revealed novel THOC6-dependent, species-specific TREX tetramer functions. Germline biallelic Thoc6 loss-of-function (LOF) variants result in mouse embryonic lethality. Biallelic THOC6 LOF variants do not alter the expression of TREX dimer component proteins in human cells, but reduced binding affinity to ALYREF implicates impaired TREX tetramer formation. Defects in RNA nuclear export functions were not detected in biallelic THOC6 LOF human neural cells. Instead, mis-splicing was detected in human and mouse neural tissue, revealing novel THOC6-mediated TREX coordination of mRNA processing. We demonstrate that THOC6 is required for regulation of key signaling pathways in human corticogenesis that dictate the transition from proliferative to neurogenic divisions, developmental biology implicated in TIDS neuropathology.

A member of transcription/export complex (TREX), THOC5 controls elongation rate by recruiting CDK12.

Project description:THOC5, a member of the THO complex that is a subcomplex of Transcription/export complex (TREX) 1, is essential for 3´processing of slow kinetics IEGs, and for export of only a subset of genes. Applying nanopore mRNA-sequence technology, we show here that upon depletion of THOC5, 50% of mRNAs showed alteration of 3´end cleavage sites. Moreover, polymerase-II (Pol II)-CHIP-sequencing data reveals that upon depletion of THOC5 Pol II density was increased at gene body and 3´UTR. THOC5 is recruited near to Pol II high density sites except promotor regions, suggesting that THOC5 is involved in transcription elongation. Indeed, 385 THOC5 independent genes in fast Pol II cells became THOC5 dependent in slow Pol II cells. Chromatin associated THOC5 in slow Pol II cells interacts with CDK12, RNA helicases DDX5 and DDX, and THOC6, but not with other members of THO complex. Notably, THOC5 did not form this complex in fast poly II cells. CDK12 was recruited to R-loop (DNA:RNA hybrid) in THOC5/THOC6 dependent manner. Here, THOC6, but not THOC5 directly interacts with R-loop then, recruited DDX5 resolves R-loop and then CDK12 enhances further transcription elongation. These data show for the first time the novel function of THOC5/THOC6 complex during transcription elongation.

Lamin A dimer and tetramer cross-links help explain disease mutations and polymer plasticity

Project description:Lamins are intermediate filament proteins responsible for nuclear mechanical integrity. Though linked to multiple heritable diseases, lamin structure and that of other intermediate filaments remains elusive. We employed cross-linking mass spectrometry to gain structural insights into lamin A dimer and tetramer structure. While confirming the parallel coiled-coil rod, we report that, contrary to prediction, rod linker regions are highly flexible and compressible. This explains the recently reported rod shortening in the assembled polymer and aspects of intermediate filament stretch properties. We further elucidate an extended interface in lamin A tetramers where both head and tail unstructured regions flanking the rod of each dimer act as polar bridges to stabilize lamin head-to-tail assembly. Furthermore, changes in these regions between dimer and tetramer forms suggest an ordered polymer assembly. Importantly, several residues mutated in laminopathies disrupt this interface and impair assembly, potentially explaining their role in disease.

Gene deletion expression profiles of SAGA, TREX2 and Sem1

Project description:Evidence indicates that transcription and mRNA export are linked processes. The molecular mechanisms of this coordination are not clear however. Sus1 (hENY2) participates in this coordination as part of two protein complexes: SAGA, a transcriptional co-activator and TREX-2 that functions in mRNA biogenesis and export. Here we investigate the coordinated action of SAGA and TREX-2 that is required for gene expression. We demonstrate that the TREX-2/proteasomal subunit Sem1, influences Sus1 role in mRNA export and TREX-2 stability. Wide analyses of gene expression reveal that Sem1 and Sus1 have also overlapping functions in transcription. In the absence of Sem1, expression of some SAGA-dependent genes is compromised with a concomitant decrease of RNAP II recruitment to promoters. Notably, ChIP experiments revealed a distinct dependency for SAGA subunits recruitment on Sem1. While absence of Sem1 lowers Ada2 and Taf9 recruitment to GAL1 promoter upon activation, association of the deubiquitylation module remains intact. However, H2B deubiquitylation activity is dramatically decreased. These results unveil a new role for Sem1 in influencing activation of SAGA-dependent H2B deubiquitylation likely mediated by stabilization of TREX-2 complex and SAGA modular assembly. Our work gives insights in how modular architecture of SAGA is determinant for its function in gene expression.

Expression data from Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains deleted for different subunits of the THO/TREX complex

Project description:THO/TREX is a conserved nuclear complex that functions in mRNP biogenesis at the interface of transcription-RNA export with a key role in preventing transcription-associated genome instability. We used microarrays to analyze the impact of different THO/TREX mutations on gene expression and found that THO-Sub2 deletions have a high functional impact on highly expressed, long and G+C-rich genes regardless of gene function. S. cerevisiae strains were grown in YPAD liquid culture, total RNA was isolated and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.

The m 6 A-methylase complex recruits TREX and regulates mRNA export.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification of eukaryotic mRNA. This modification has previously been shown to alter the export kinetics for mRNAs though the molecular details surrounding this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Here we show that the m6A complex (WTAP, KIAA1429, METTL3/14) drives recruitment of the TREX mRNA export complex onto m6A modified mRNAs and this process is essential for the efficient export of certain mRNAs. Depletion of the core m6A complex leads to loss of TREX from mRNAs which undergo the m6A modification. We show that TREX stimulates recruitment of the m6A reader protein YTHDC1 to the mRNP and the m6A complex influences the interaction of TREX with YTHDC1. We suggest that m6A acts as a surrogate for other TREX recruitment mechanisms such as splicing and 5’ capping, in long internal and final exons which may otherwise be devoid of this essential complex for mRNA export.

Single cell RNA and TCR profiling of tetramer sorted mouse mLN and IELs.

Project description:We utilized H2-I-Ab tetramers to isolate CD4 T cells from mice to characterize the functional characteristics of ileal intraepithelial T cells and their lymphoid counterparts in the corresponding draining lymph nodes (mLN). Non-CD4 T cells (B220+, CD11b+, CD11c+, F4/80+, CD8a+) were excluded before FACS-sorting of CD45+CD3+CD4+ tetramer-specific T cells discriminated by double-positive staining with dual-labeled tetramer fluorophores. We recovered tetramer+ and tetramer- IELs and mLN T cells, and profiled them by single-cell RNA and TCR sequencing.

Compromised THOC2, a TREX mRNA export complex scaffold protein, leads to R-loop accumulation, DNA damage and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in mice and men

Project description:TREX (Transcription-Export) is a highly conserved multi-subunit protein complex that, besides its established role in mRNA export from nucleus to cytoplasm, is involved in transcriptional regulation, stem cell maintenance, 3’ mRNA processing, mitotic progression, and genome stability in eukaryotic cells. TREX is composed of a six subunit THO core complex (THOC1, THOC2, THOC3, THOC5, THOC6 and THOC7) and eight accessory proteins. We have implicated the X-chromosome THOC2 gene, which encodes the scaffold protein of the THO complex, in a clinically variable neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) with intellectual disability (ID) as the core phenotype. To study the function of this essential eukaryotic gene and the mechanisms underlying its NDD outcomes, we generated a clinically-relevant mouse model based on a hypomorphic Thoc2 exon37-38 deletion variant of a patient with ID, speech delay, hypotonia, and microcephaly. The Thoc2 exon37-38 deletion male (Thoc2Δ/Y) mice recapitulate the core phenotypes of THOC2 syndrome including smaller size and weight, and significant deficits in spatial learning, working memory and sensorimotor functions. The Thoc2Δ/Y mice brain development is significantly impacted by compromised THOC2/TREX function resulting in R-loop accumulation, DNA damage and consequent cell death. Differentiated cortical neurons of Thoc2Δ/Y mice show perturbed synaptic and electrophysiological properties underlined by increased DNA damage comparable to the primary cells of patients with THOC2 pathogenic variants. Altogether, our data suggest that perturbed R-loop homeostasis, in stem cells and/or differentiated cells in mice and men, and DNA damage-associated functional alterations are at the root of THOC2 syndrome. Overall, we suggest that THOC2 is a major, conserved player in the efficient resolution of R-loops, a process essential for normal brain development and function.

Gene architecture and sequence composition underpin selective dependency of long RNAs on components of the nuclear export pathway

Project description:The nuclear export pathway transports long RNAs produced in the nucleus to the cytoplasm. The core components of this pathway are thought to be required for export of virtually all polyadenylated RNAs. Here, we depleted different proteins that act in nuclear export in human cells, and quantified the transcriptome-wide consequences on RNA localization. Different genes exhibited substantially variable sensitivities, with depletion of NXF1 and TREX components causing some transcripts to become strongly retained in the nucleus while others were not affected. Specifically, NXF1 is preferentially required for export of single- or few-exon transcripts with long exons or high A/U-content, whereas depletion of TREX complex components preferentially affects spliced and G/C-rich transcripts. Using massively parallel reporter assays we identified short sequence elements that render transcripts dependent on NXF1 for their export, and identified synergistic effects of splicing and NXF1. These results revise the current model of how nuclear export shapes the distribution of RNA within human cells.

Expression data in HeLa S3 cells transfected with control-, UAP56- or URH49-siRNA

Project description:Nuclear export of mRNA is an essential process for eukaryotic gene expression. TREX complex couples the gene expression from transcription and splicing to mRNA export. Sub2, a core component of TREX complex in yeast is diversified to two closely related RNA helicases, UAP56 and URH49 in human.UAP56 and URH49 are required for bulk poly (A)+ RNA export but their target genes are quite different. In conclusion, UAP56 and URH49 have a different function in vivo despite the highly similarity. Cytoplasmic RNA was prepared in HeLa cells transfected with control-, UAP56- and URH49-siRNA and analyzed by gene expression array.
