Genome-wide profiling of Hfq-bound RNAs reveals the iron-responsive small RNA RusT in Caulobacter crescentus

ABSTRACT: The alpha-proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus thrives in oligotrophic environments and is able to optimally exploit minimal resources by entertaining an intricate network of gene expression control mechanisms. Numerous transcriptional activators and repressors have been reported to contribute to these processes, but only few studies have focused on regulation at the post-transcriptional level in C. crescentus. Small RNAs (sRNAs) are a prominent class of regulators of bacterial gene expression, and most sRNAs characterized today engage in direct base-pairing interactions to modulate translation and/or stability of target mRNAs. In many cases, the ubiquitous RNA chaperone, Hfq, contributes to the establishment of RNA-RNA interactions. Although the deletion of the hfq gene is associated with a severe loss of fitness in C. crescentus, the RNA ligands of the chaperone have remained largely unexplored. Here we report on the identification of coding and non-coding transcripts associated with Hfq in C. crescentus, and demonstrate Hfq-dependent post-transcriptional regulation in this organism. We show that the conserved, Hfq-bound sRNA RusT is transcriptionally controlled by the conserved NtrYX two-component system and induced in response to iron starvation. By combining RusT pulse expression with whole-genome transcriptome analysis we determine 16 candidate target transcripts, more than half of which encode outer membrane transporters. We hence suggest RusT to support remodeling of the C. crescentus cell surface when iron supplies are limiting.

RNA-sequencing data from Pseudomonas putida KT2440 wild-type and Hfq-tagged strain form co-immunoprecipitation experiment

Project description:The RNA-chaperone Hfq is a global post-transcriptional regulator in Bacteria, important especially for the fine-tuning of the gene expression when the environmental conditions change. We looked into sRNAome during the growth of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 and compared it to a strain without Hfq protein. Numerous sRNAs were upregulated at a specific point during the growth and many were affected in the Hfq absence. Further we identified Hfq-binding RNA transcripts with co-immunoprecipitation and experimentally validated 17 sRNAs. Many novel Hfq-binding sRNAs were identified and are directly or indirectly regulated by Hfq. In addition 1870 mRNAs were found to bind to Hfq during the growth. Together, 202 antisense and 355 intergenic sRNAs have been detected in this study, several of them being 3’UTR- or 5’UTR-derived, and IS-related.

Comparison of the transcriptomes of a Pasteurella multocida VP161 wild-type strain with a Pasteurella multocida VP161 hfq mutant

Project description:Objectives: To determine the transcripts that are differentially expressed in a hfq mutant. Hfq is an RNA chaperone that mediates many interactions between regultory RNAs and their mRNA targets. Analysis of the transcriptomes of the Pasteurella multocida wild-type strain and the Pasteurella multocida hfq mutant will allow for identification of genes controlled by hfq and the sRNAs with which it interacts. Methods: RNA sequencing was employed to determine the transcriptomes of a wild-type Pasteurella multocida strain and a hfq mutant strain. Comparison of these two transcriptomes allows for determination of differentially expressed genes and therefore those genes controlled by Hfq and sRNAs with which it interacts.

RNA-RNA interactomes of Hfq and ProQ reveal overlapping and competing roles for RNA chaperones

Project description:In many bacteria, the base pairing between most small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) and their targets is facilitated by the Hfq RNA chaperone. However, recent studies have shown FinO-domain proteins also bind sRNAs. To compare the contributions of Hfq and the FinO-domain ProQ protein in Escherichia coli, we carried out RIL-seq, which allows global identification of two RNAs bound to the same protein. We detected hundreds of RNA pairs on ProQ. Intriguingly, 33% of the ProQ-bound RNA pairs are also found associated with Hfq, suggesting overlapping, complementary or competing roles for the two proteins.

RyhB-mRNA pairing in absence of the RNA chaperone Hfq in vivo

Project description:The RNA chaperone Hfq is regarded as a critical effector promoting interaction between small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) and cognate target mRNAs. While much of this interpretation is based on in vitro assays, no in vivo evidence actually exists to support this model. Here we report that Hfq is typically unnecessary for binding of various sRNA-mRNA complexes in vivo. Data obtained from pull-downs of MS2-tagged RyhB, RybB and DsrA sRNAs followed by RNAseq identification of target mRNAs suggest that absence of Hfq is not essential for sRNA-mRNA complex formation in vivo.

Multiple in vivo roles for the C-terminal domain of the RNA chaperone Hfq

Project description:Hfq, a bacterial RNA chaperone, stabilizes small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) and facilitates sRNA base-pairing with target mRNAs. Hfq has a conserved N-terminal domain and a poorly conserved disordered C-terminal domain (CTD). In a transcriptome-wide examination of the effects of a chromosomal CTD deletion (Hfq1-65), the Escherichia coli mutant was most defective for the accumulation of sRNAs that bind the proximal and distal faces of Hfq (Class II sRNAs), but other sRNAs also were affected. There were only modest effects on the levels of mRNAs, suggesting little disruption of sRNA-dependent regulation. However, cells expressing Hfq lacking the CTD deletion in combination with a weak distal face mutation were defective for the function of the Class II sRNA ChiX and repression of mutS, both dependent upon distal face RNA binding. Loss of the region between amino acids 66-72 was critical for this defect. The CTD region beyond amino acid 72 was not necessary for distal face-dependent regulation, but was needed for functions associated with the Hfq rim, seen most clearly in combination with a rim mutant. Our results suggest that the C-terminus collaborates in various ways with different binding faces of Hfq, leading to distinct outcomes for individual sRNAs.

Polynucleotide phosphorylase promotes the stability and function of Hfq-binding sRNAs by degrading target mRNA-derived fragments

Project description:In many gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) that bind the RNA chaperone Hfq have a pivotal role in modulating virulence, stress responses, metabolism, and biofilm formation. These sRNAs recognize transcripts through base-pairing, and sRNA-mRNA annealing consequently alters the translation and/or stability of transcripts leading to changes in gene expression. We have previously found that the highly conserved 3'-to-5' exoribonuclease polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) has an indispensable role in paradoxically stabilizing Hfq-bound sRNAs and promoting their function in gene regulation in Escherichia coli. Here, we report that PNPase uniquely contributes to the degradation of specific mRNA cleavage products, the majority of which bind Hfq and are derived from targets of sRNAs. Specifically, we found that these mRNA-derived fragments accumulate in the absence of PNPase or its exoribonuclease activity and interact with PNPase. Additionally, we show that mutations in hfq or in the seed pairing region of a sRNA eliminated the requirement of PNPase for sRNA stability. Altogether, our results are consistent with a model that PNPase degrades mRNA-derived fragments that could otherwise deplete cells of Hfq-binding sRNAs through pairing mediated decay.
