Effect of Orb2 depletion on mRNA expression in Drosophila larval brains

ABSTRACT: Regulation of codon optimality is an increasingly appreciated layer of cell- and tissue-specific protein expression control. Here, we use codon-modified reporters to show that differentiation of Drosophila neural stem cells into neurons enables protein expression from rare-codon-enriched genes. From a candidate screen, we identify the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding (CPEB) protein Orb2 as a positive regulator of rare-codon-dependent expression in neurons. Using RNA sequencing, we reveal that Orb2-upregulated mRNAs in the brain with abundant Orb2 binding sites have a rare-codon bias. From these Orb2-regulated mRNAs, we demonstrate that rare-codon enrichment is important for expression control and social behavior function of the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR). Our findings reveal a molecular mechanism by which neural stem cell differentiation shifts genetic code regulation to enable critical mRNA and protein expression.

RNA-binding profiles of Drosophila CPEB proteins Orb and Orb2

Project description:Localized protein translation is critical in many biological contexts, particularly in highly polarized cells, such as neurons, to regulate gene expression in a spatiotemporal manner. The cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding (CPEB) family of RNA-binding proteins has emerged as a key regulator of mRNA transport and local translation required for early embryonic development, synaptic plasticity, and long-term memory (LTM). Drosophila Orb and Orb2 are single members of the CPEB1 and CPEB2 subfamilies of the CPEB proteins, respectively. At present, the identity of the mRNA targets they regulate is not fully known, and the binding specificity of the CPEB2 subfamily is a matter of debate. Using transcriptome-wide UV cross-linking and immunoprecipitation, we define the mRNA-binding sites and targets of Drosophila CPEBs. Both Orb and Orb2 bind linear cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-like sequences in the 3′ UTRs of largely overlapping target mRNAs, with Orb2 potentially having a broader specificity. Both proteins use their RNA-recognition motifs but not the Zinc-finger region for RNA binding. A subset of Orb2 targets is translationally regulated in cultured S2 cells and fly head extracts. Moreover, pan-neuronal RNAi knockdown of these targets suggests that a number of these targets are involved in LTM. Our results provide a comprehensive list of mRNA targets of the two CPEB proteins in Drosophila, thus providing insights into local protein synthesis involved in various biological processes, including LTM.

The ORB2 RNA-binding protein represses translation of its target transcripts during the Drosophila maternal-to-zygotic transition via its functionally conserved Zinc-binding ‘ZZ’ domain

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are key components of the post-transcriptional regulatory machinery. We show that the ORB2 RBP, the Drosophila ortholog of vertebrate Cytoplasmic Polyadenylation Element Binding Protein 2 (CPEB2), binds to hundreds of maternally provided mRNAs in early embryos, identify a U-rich motif enriched in ORB2’s targets, and show that this motif confers ORB2 binding and repression to a luciferase reporter mRNA in S2 tissue culture cells. ORB2’s target transcripts are translationally repressed and unstable during the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), a developmental phase during which a large proportion of maternally provided mRNAs are repressed and cleared. We show that, when tethered to a luciferase reporter, ORB2 and its human homolog CPEB2 (but not ORB and CPEB1) repress translation and that the C-terminal Zinc-binding (‘ZZ’) domain of ORB2 is sufficient for repression. ORB2 interacts with a suite of post-transcriptional regulators in early embryos; a subset of these interactions is lost upon deletion of the ZZ domain, notably with the Cup repressive complex. Analysis of the early embryo’s translatome in the presence or absence of the endogenous ZZ domain, shows that ORB2’s targets move onto polysomes upon ZZ domain deletion, indicating that this domain mediates translational repression of ORB2’s targets during the MZT. Together, our results assign a function to the ZZ domain and support a significant role for ORB2 in post-transcriptional regulation of maternal mRNAs during the Drosophila MZT.

tRNA-seq of Arabidopsis leaves during pattern-triggered immunity

Project description:During pattern-triggered immunity (PTI), the first line of active defense against infection in plants, the translatome undergoes rapid reprogamming. To understand how defense proteins are selectively translated, we conducted a genetic screen for regulators of PTI using a translational reporter. We identified a mutant of RNA helicase 12 (RH12) showing compromised reporter translation and pathogen resistance. RH12 is a homolog of yeast DEAD-box Helicase Homolog 1, which targets mRNAs with low codon optimality for decay. Therefore, we sequenced the Arabidopsis tRNAome to determine codon optimality during PTI. We discovered a PTI-associated reduction in overall codon optimality of the transcriptome, and found that the decay of transcripts with reduced optimality is mediated by interaction with RH12. Our results demonstrate the first example of codon optimality-associated decay as part of an adaptive response in which the dynamics of both the tRNAome and the transcriptome facilitate rapid changes in translational output during PTI.

Ribosome profiling study of Dhh1p overexpression and the dhh1 knockout strain using monosome-protected footprints

Project description:A major determinant of mRNA half-life is the codon-dependent rate of translational elongation. How the processes of translational elongation and mRNA decay communicate is unclear. In this study we establish that the DEAD-box helicase Dhh1p is the sensor of codon optimality (i.e. translational elongation rate) that targets an mRNA for decay. First, we find that mRNAs whose translation elongation rate is slowed by inclusion of non-optimal codons are specifically degraded in a DHH1-dependent manner. Biochemical experiments show that Dhh1p is preferentially associated with mRNAs with suboptimal codon choice. We find that these effects on mRNA decay are sensitive to the number of slow moving ribosomes on an mRNA. Using a tethering system, we establish that non-optimal mRNAs become preferentially saturated with ribosomes when Dhh1p is bound. Moreover, over-expression of Dhh1p leads to the accumulation of ribosomes specifically on mRNAs with low codon optimality in ribosome profiling experiments. Lastly, Dhh1p physically interacts with ribosomes in vivo. Together, these data argue that Dhh1p is a sensor for ribosome speed, targeting an mRNA for repression and subsequent decay.

Polysome propensity and tunable thresholds in coding sequence length enable differential mRNA stability

Project description:The half-life of mRNAs, as well as their translation, increases proportionally to the optimal codons, indicating a tight coupling of codon-dependent differential translation and degradation. Little is known about the regulation of this coupling. We found that the coupling in yeast displays a dichotomous behavior regarding the mRNA coding sequence length. Below a critical length, codon optimality fails to affect the stability of mRNAs even though they can be efficiently translated into short peptides and proteins. Above this threshold length, codon optimality-dependent differential mRNA stability emerges in a switch-like fashion, which coincides with a similar increase in the polysome propensity of the mRNAs. This threshold length can be tuned by the untranslated regions (UTR). Some of these UTRs can destabilize mRNAs without reducing translation, which plays a role in controlling the amplitude of the oscillatory expression of cell-cycle genes. Our findings help understand the translation of short peptides from noncoding RNAs and the translation by localized monosomes in neurons.

A conserved role for the Zinc binding ZZ domain of the ORB2 CPEB2 RNA binding protein in translational repression of target transcripts in Drosophila S2 cells and embryos

Project description:RNA binding proteins RBPs are key components of the post transcriptional regulatory machinery. We show that the ORB2 RBP, the Drosophila ortholog of vertebrate Cytoplasmic Polyadenylation Element Binding Protein 2 CPEB2, binds to hundreds of maternally provided mRNAs in early embryos, these transcripts are translationally repressed and unstable during the maternal to zygotic transition MZT. We identify a U rich motif enriched in ORB2 targets, which confers ORB2 binding and repression to a luciferase reporter mRNA in S2 tissue culture cells. ORB2 and its human homolog CPEB2 but not ORB and CPEB1 repress translation. The C terminal Zinc binding ZZ domain of ORB2 is necessary and sufficient for repression. We mapped regions of ORB2 ZZ domain that, when substituted into the same region of ORB ZZ domain, converts the non repressive domain into a repressor. ORB2 interacts with a suite of post-transcriptional regulators in early embryos; a subset of these interactions is lost upon deletion of the ZZ domain, notably with the Cup repressive complex. Analysis of the early embryo translatome in the presence or absence of the endogenous ZZ domain, shows that ORB2 targets move onto polysomes upon ZZ domain deletion, indicating that this domain mediates translational repression of ORB2 targets during the MZT. Together, our results assign a function to the ZZ domain and support a significant role for ORB2 in post transcriptional regulation of maternal mRNAs during the Drosophila MZT.

Translation and codon usage regulate Argonaute slicer activity to trigger small RNA biogenesis

Project description:In the Caenorhabditis elegans germline, thousands of mRNAs are concomitantly expressed with antisense 22G-RNAs, which are loaded into the Argonaute CSR-1. Despite their essential functions for animal fertility and embryonic development, how CSR-1 22G-RNAs are produced remains unknown. Here, we show that CSR-1 slicer activity is primarily involved in triggering the synthesis of small RNAs on the coding sequences of germline mRNAs and post-transcriptionally regulates a fraction of targets. CSR-1-cleaved mRNAs prime the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, EGO-1, to synthesize 22G-RNAs in phase with ribosome translation in the cytoplasm, in contrast to other 22G-RNAs mostly synthesized in germ granules. Moreover, codon optimality and efficient translation antagonize CSR-1 slicing and 22G-RNAs biogenesis. We propose that codon usage differences encoded into mRNA sequences might be a conserved strategy in eukaryotes to regulate small RNA biogenesis and Argonaute targeting
