Cells resist starvation through nutrients dependent splice switch

ABSTRACT: Removing introns from coding genes through the process of splicing is a ubiquitous feature of all eukaryotes. Here we show that global remodeling of splicing program through changing the stoichiometry of spliceosomal components is a key mediator of cell resistance to starvation. Transcriptomic and genetic analyses indicate that nutrients depletion reconfigures the splicing program to favor the splicing of meiotic genes and repress ribosomal protein genes by asymmetrically increasing the abundance of U1 small nuclear protein complex. Impairing U1 binding to splice site alters the nutrients dependent changes in the splicing program leading to increased sensitivity to starvation. This work reveals a new mechanism by which cells resist starvation through changes in the stoichiometry of the spliceosomal components and reprograming of the spliceosome splicing preference.

Modeling of the U1 snRNP assembly pathway in alternative splicing in human cells using Petri nets

Project description:The investigation of spliceosomal processes is currently a topic of intense research in molecular biology. In the molecular mechanism of alternative splicing, a multi-protein–RNA complex – the spliceosome – plays a crucial role. To understand the biological processes of alternative splicing, it is essential to comprehend the biogenesis of the spliceosome. In this paper, we propose the first abstract model of the regulatory assembly pathway of the human spliceosomal subunit U1. Using Petri nets, we describe its highly ordered assembly that takes place in a stepwise manner.

Cooperative engagement and subsequent selective displacement of SR proteins define the pre-mRNA 3D structural scaffold for early spliceosome assembly

Project description:We recently reported that serine-arginine-rich (SR) protein-mediated pre-mRNA structural remodeling generates a pre-mRNA 3D structural scaffold that is stably recognized by the early spliceosomal components. However, the intermediate steps between the free pre-mRNA and the assembled early spliceosome are not yet characterized. By probing the early spliceosomal complexes in vitro and RNA-protein interactions in vivo, we show that the SR proteins bind the pre-mRNAs cooperatively generating a substrate that recruits U1 snRNP and U2AF65 in a splice signal-independent manner. Excess U1 snRNP selectively displaces some of the SR protein molecules from the pre-mRNA generating the substrate for splice signal-specific, sequential recognition by U1 snRNP, U2AF65, and U2AF35. Our work thus identifies a novel function of U1 snRNP in mammalian splicing substrate definition, explains the need for excess U1 snRNP compared to other U snRNPs in vivo, demonstrates how excess SR proteins could inhibit splicing, and provides a conceptual basis to examine if this mechanism of splicing substrate definition is employed by other splicing regulatory proteins.

Native elongating transcript sequencing (NET-seq), nascnet RNA-seq, and total RNA-seq of wild type and RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain mutants and ChIP-nexus of RNA polymerase II C-terminal domains phosphoisoforms and splicing factors in S. cerevisiae

Project description:Transcription controls splicing and other gene regulatory processes, yet mechanisms remain obscure due to our fragmented knowledge of the molecular connections between the dynamically phosphorylated RNA polymerase II (Pol II) C-terminal domain (CTD) and regulatory factors. By systematically isolating phosphorylation states of the CTD heptapeptide repeat (Y1S2P3T4S5P6S7), we identify hundreds of protein factors that are differentially enriched, revealing unappreciated connections between the Pol II CTD and co-transcriptional processes. These data uncover a novel role for threonine-4 in 3’ end processing through controlling the transition between cleavage and termination. Furthermore, serine-5 phosphorylation seeds spliceosomal assembly immediately downstream of 3’ splice sites through a direct interaction with spliceosomal subcomplex, U1. Strikingly, threonine-4 phosphorylation also impacts splicing through serving as a mark of spliceosomal release and ensuring efficient post-transcriptional splicing genome-wide. Thus, comprehensive Pol II interactomes identify the complex and functional connections between transcription machinery and other gene regulatory complexes.

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.

U1 snRNP complex with cleavage and polyadenylation factors controls mRNA transcription termination

Project description:Full-length transcription in the majority of human genes depends on U1 snRNP (U1) to co-transcriptionally suppress transcription-terminating premature 3’-end cleavage and polyadenylation (PCPA) from cryptic polyadenylation signals (PASs) in introns. However, the mechanism of this U1 activity, termed telescripting, is unknown. Here, we captured a complex, comprising U1 and CPA factors (U1–CPAFs), that binds intronic PASs and suppresses PCPA. U1–CPAFs are distinct from U1-spliceosomal complexes; they include CPA’s three main subunits, CFIm, CPSF, and CstF, lack essential splicing factors, and associate with transcription elongation and mRNA export complexes. Telescripting requires U1:pre-mRNA base-pairing, which can be disrupted by U1 antisense oligonucleotide (U1 AMO), triggering PCPA. U1 AMO remodels U1–CPAFs, revealing changes, including recruitment of CPA-stimulating factors, that explain U1–CPAFs’ switch from repressive to activated states. Our findings outline U1 telescripting mechanism and demonstrate U1’s unique role as central-regulator of pre-mRNA processing and transcription.

Suppression of prp28-1 splicing defect by prp8-tes allele

Project description:DEAD-box proteins, a family of RNA-dependent ATPases, promote the numerous conformational rearrangements required for spliceosome assembly, activation, and disassembly. Previous work showed that a cold-sensitive substitution in DEAD-box protein Prp28 prevents the switch from U1 to U6 snRNA pairing with the 5’ splice site. Little is known about how Prp28 is regulated, although U5 snRNP protein Prp8 is a potential coordinator of Prp28 and other spliceosomal ATPases. We conducted a targeted selection in Prp8 for cold-insensitive suppressors of prp28-1, then used splicing specific microarrays to assess suppression of the prp28-1 splicing defect. Splicing specific microarrays were used to assess suppression of the prp28-1 splicing defect by a prp8 allele (prp8-tes) that suppresses prp28-1 cold-sensitivity

Nopp140-chaperoned 2’-O-methylation of small nuclear RNAs in Cajal bodies ensures splicing fidelity

Project description:Spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) are modified by small Cajal body (CB) specific ribonucleoproteins (scaRNPs) to ensure snRNP biogenesis and pre-mRNA splicing. However, the function and subcellular site of snRNA modification are largely unknown. We show that CB localization of the protein Nopp140 is essential for concentration of scaRNPs in that nuclear condensate; and that phosphorylation by casein kinase 2 (CK2) at some 80 serines targets Nopp140 to CBs. Transiting through CBs, snRNAs are apparently modified by scaRNPs. Indeed, Nopp140 knockdown-mediated release of scaRNPs from CBs severely compromises 2’-O-methylation of spliceosomal snRNAs, identifying CBs as the site of scaRNP catalysis. Additionally, alternative splicing patterns change indicating that these modifications in U1, U2, U5, and U12 snRNAs safeguard splicing fidelity. Given the importance of CK2 in this pathway, compromised splicing could underlie the mode of action of small molecule CK2 inhibitors currently considered for therapy in cholangiocarcinoma, hematological malignancies, and COVID-19.

Carbon starvation induces autophagy and recycling of nutrients in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus

Project description:Ectomycorrhizal fungi are dependent on host trees for carbon supply. In return ectomycorrhizal fungi supply trees with water and nutrients. It is known that when ectomycorrhizal fungi have exploited a nutrient rich patch in soil, the carbon allocation to mycelia in that patch is reduced, with the consequence of mycelia dying, but less is known of the dynamics of this senescence. We cultivated the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus in an axenic system. We collected growth and transcriptome data at different stages of carbon starvation during fungal growth. Carbon starvation induced a decrease in fungal biomass, which coincided with the release of NH4+ and the expression of genes connected with autophagy as well as protease and chitinase activity. Monoaromatic compounds, chitin and protease activity was detected in the liquid growth media during carbon starvation. The exudation of NH4+ and increase of monoaromatic compound during C starvation suggests senescence and autolysis of P. involutus. Together with the upregulation of genes involved in autophagy, chitinase and endopeptidase activity this points towards a controlled senescence including recycling of compounds originating from the fungi. Reduced C allocation to ectomycorrhizal mycelia in recently depleted nutrient patches in forest soils must be of ubiquitous nature. Understanding the mechanisms during exploitation of nutrients by ectomycorrhizal fungi is of great importance for understanding carbon and nutrient dynamics in forest soils. This is to our knowledge the first study describing the carbon starvation response in an ectomycorrhizal fungus.
