RAPID-SELEX identifies high-affinity RNA targets for chromatin binding proteins PARP1 and MeCP2

ABSTRACT: Recent studies showed that some chromatin-binding proteins also interact with RNA to regulate gene expression. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) and Methyl-CpG Binding Protein 2 (MeCP2) are two chromatin-associated, DNA-binding proteins with central roles in gene expression, DNA damage response, and epigenetic regulation. PARP1 and MeCP2 both have RNA binding properties, but it is still unclear how PARP1 and MeCP2 are recruited to or recognize RNA binding sites. Here, we used a RAPID-SELEX procedure, a random 70-mer RNA library, and 12 rounds of selection to identify high-affinity PARP1 and MeCP2 RNA targets. PARP1 prefers RNA targets enriched in guanine, while MeCP2 shows a preference for targets enriched in cytosine. However, neither protein seems to have a consensus (linear) RNA sequence motif. Instead, high-affinity PARP1 targets contain intrinsic secondary structures characterized by a relatively long stem and small loop. High affinity MeCP2 targets are also intrinsically structured, characterized by a large loop (or bulge) and multiple stems. These data suggest that both proteins target RNAs based on (unique) structural features rather than nucleotide sequence, and that many different RNA sequences can adopt similar structures.

The PARP1-EXD2 Axis Orchestrates R-Loop Resolution to Safeguard Genome Stability

Project description:R-loops represent three-stranded nucleic acid structures comprising an RNA-DNA hybrid and a displaced single-stranded DNA. Deregulation of R-loop dynamics can obstruct DNA transcription and replication processes, compromising genome integrity and contributing to human diseases. Here, we identify EXD2(exonuclease 3′–5′ domain-containing 2) as a crucial R-Loop resolvase. We demonstrate that EXD2, through direct interaction with PARP1 via poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymers, is recruited proximally to R-loops, where it undergoes acetylation by the acetyl-transferase CBP at Lys416. This modification increases EXD2’s binding affinity towards R-loop structures, enabling its transition to and retention on R-loops, despite the rapid turnover of PAR polymers. Once localized, EXD2 acts as an exonuclease, preferentially degrading RNA strands within R-loops to promote their resolution. Consequently, loss of EXD2 results in the intracellular accumulation of R-loops, exacerbating transcription-replication conflicts, and ultimately leading to genomic instability. These findings support a model in which R-loop-triggered PARP1 activation orchestrates EXD2-mediated resolution of R-loops, thereby preserving genome stability.

Transcription profiling of human differentiated vs. undifferentiated SH-SY5Y cells transfected with a MeCP2 (transcriptional repressor) decoy to investigate the neurodevelopmental disorder Rett syndrome

Project description:Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in MECP2, encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein 2. MeCP2 is a transcriptional repressor elevated in mature neurons and is predicted to be required for neuronal maturation by regulating multiple target genes. Identifying primary gene targets in either Mecp2-deficient mice or human RTT brain has proven to be difficult, perhaps because of the transient requirement for MeCP2 during neuronal maturation. In order to experimentally control the timing of MeCP2 expression and deficiency during neuronal maturation, human SH-SY5Y cells undergoing mature neuronal differentiation were transfected with methylated MeCP2 oligonucleotide decoy to disrupt the binding of MeCP2 to endogenous targets. Genome-wide expression microarray analysis identified all four known members of the inhibitors of differentiation or inhibitors of DNA-binding (ID1, ID2, ID3 and ID4) subfamily of helix-loop-helix genes as novel neuronal targets of MeCP2. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis confirmed binding of MeCP2 near or within the promoters of ID1, ID2 and ID3, and quantitative RT-PCR confirmed increased expression of all four Id genes in Mecp2-deficient mouse brain. All four ID proteins were significantly increased in Mecp2-deficient mouse and human RTT brain using immunofluorescence and laser scanning cytometric analyses. Because of their involvement in cell differentiation and neural development, ID genes are ideal primary targets for MeCP2 regulation of neuronal maturation that may explain the molecular pathogenesis of RTT.

Sequence Features Accurately Predict Genome-wide MeCP2 Binding in vivo

Project description:MECP2 is critical for proper brain development and expressed at near-histone levels in neurons, but the mechanism of its genomic localization remains poorly understood. Using high-resolution MeCP2 binding data, we show that genetic features alone can predict binding with 88% accuracy. Integrating MeCP2 binding and DNA methylation in a probabilistic graphical model, we demonstrate that previously reported methylation preferences may be due to MeCP2âs affinity to GC-rich chromatin, a result replicated using published data. Furthermore, MeCP2 co-localized with nucleosomes, and Mecp2 deletion led to nucleosome repositioning. Finally, MeCP2 binding downstream of promoters correlated with increased expression in Mecp2 deficient neurons. Study of genetic and epigenetic determinants of MeCP2 binding using MeCP2 ChIP-seq, MNase-seq, Bisulfite-seq and RNA-seq. Please see individual sample record for details on experimental design.

Identification of PARP1-RNA binding in-vivo using PAR-CLiP Sequencing

Project description:Recent studies have implicated PARP1 in alternative splicing regulation. In addition, PARP1 has been shown to bind RNA in vivo suggesting that it is an RNA-binding protein (RBP). However, a detailed knowledge of the RNA-targets as well as the RNA binding region of PARP1 is unknown. We used Photoactivatable-Ribonucleoside-Enhanced Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) in HeLa cells and identified a largely overlapping set ∼22142 of PARP1-RNA binding peaks mapping to mRNAs, of which ∼20484 sites are located in the intronic regions of genes. PARP1 preferentially bound RNA containing a Guanine-rich sequences. Using a bayesian model, we determined positional effects of PARP1 on exon skipping: PARP1 binding upstream and downstream to the skipped exons generally promoted exon inclusion, whereas binding on exons and closer to the skipped exon, promoted exon skipping. Finally, using truncation mutants, we narrowed the PARP1-RNA binding domain to the amino terminus region of the protein. Such studies on transcriptome-wide mapping of RNA-targets by PARP1, present the first step into understanding the role of PARP1 and RNA biogenesis. Our understanding of the role of PARPs and PAR in the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression through modulation of RNA is still in the early stages. Continued identification and characterization of the functional interplay between PARPs and RNA may provide important insights into the role of PARPs in RNA regulation.

RNA-binding preference of the Roquin-1 CCCH-type zinc finger

Project description:Zinc finger (ZnF) domains are widespread RNA-binding domains, recognizing single stranded and double stranded RNAs. Together with other RNA-binding domains, ZnFs enhance the affinity and specificity of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). The ZnF-containing RBP Roquin controls mRNA decay by recognizing stem-loop elements in the 3'-UTR of its target mRNAs. Stem-loop elements are bound in a shape-specific manner by the unique ROQ domain with nanomolar affinity. The ZnF was suggested to play an essential role in RNA decay by Roquin. However, its RNA motif preference was not investigated so far. Here, we use RBNS to elucidate the RNA binding preference of the isolated Roquin-1 ZnF domain. We find that the ZnF preferentially recognizes single-stranded AU-rich elements (ARE).
