Core splicing architecture and early spliceosomal recognition determine microexon sensitivity to SRRM3/4

ABSTRACT: Microexons are essential for proper functioning of neurons and pancreatic endocrine cells, where their inclusion depends on the splicing factors SRRM3/4. However, in pancreatic cells, their lower expression limits inclusion to only the most sensitive neuronal microexons. Although various cis-acting elements are known to contribute to microexon regulation, how they determine this differential dose response and sensitivity to SRRM3/4 remains unknown. Here, through Massively Parallel Splicing Assays probing 28,535 variants, we found that sensitivity to SRRM4 is conserved across vertebrates and overall consistent with a regulatory model whereby the main determinants of microexon sensitivity are related to differences in the interplay between core splicing architecture and length constraints. This conclusion is further supported by distinct spliceosome activity in the absence of SRRM3/4 and by a mathematical model that assumes that the two types of microexons differ only in their efficiency of recruitment of early spliceosomal components.

Control of pancreatic islet function and glucose homeostasis by a novel microexon program misregulated in type 2 diabetes

Project description:Pancreatic islets control glucose homeostasis by the balanced secretion of insulin and other hormones, and its abnormal function causes diabetes or hypoglycemia. Here, we uncover a conserved program of alternative microexons included in mRNAs of islet cells, particularly in genes involved in vesicle transport and exocytosis. Islet microexons (IsletMICs) are regulated by the RNA binding protein SRRM3 and represent a subset of the larger neural program that are particularly sensitive to the levels of this protein. Both SRRM3 and IsletMICs are induced by elevated glucose levels, and depletion of SRRM3 in beta cell lines and mouse islets, or repression of particular IsletMICs using antisense oligonucleotides, leads to inappropriate insulin secretion. Consistently, SRRM3 mutant mice display defects in islet cell identity and function, leading to hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Importantly, human genetic variants that influence SRRM3 expression and microexon inclusion in islets are associated with fasting glucose variation and type 2 diabetes risk.

Conserved role for spliceosomal component PRPF40A in microexon splicing

Project description:Microexons (exons ≤30 nts) are important features of neuronal transcriptomes, but pose mechanistic challenges to the splicing machinery. We previously showed that PRP-40, a component of the U1 spliceosome, is globally required for microexon splicing in C. elegans. Here we show that the homologous PRPF40A is also globally required for microexon splicing in mouse neuroblastoma cells. We find that PRPF40A co-regulates microexons along with SRRM4, a neuron-specific regulator of microexon splicing. The relationship between exon size and dependence on PRPF40A/SRRM4 is distinct, with SRRM4-dependence exhibiting a size threshold (~30 nts) and PRPF40A-dependence exhibiting a graded decrease as exon size increases. Finally, we show that PRPF40A knockdown causes an increase in productive splicing of its spliceosomal binding partner Luc7l by skipping of a small “poison exon.” Similar homeostatic cross-regulation is often observed across paralogous RNA binding proteins. Here we find this concept likewise applies across evolutionarily unrelated but functionally and physically coupled spliceosomal components.

Origin and evolution of neural microexons

Project description:The mechanisms by which entire programs of gene regulation emerged during evolution are poorly understood. Neuronal microexons represent the most conserved class of alternative splicing in vertebrates and are critical for proper brain development and function. Here, we discover neural microexon programs in non-vertebrate species and trace their origin to bilaterian ancestors through the emergence of a previously uncharacterized ‘enhancer of microexons' (eMIC) protein domain. The eMIC domain originated as an alternative, neural-enriched splice isoform of the pan-eukaryotic Srrm2/SRm300 splicing factor gene, and subsequently became fixed in the vertebrate and neuronal-specific splicing regulator Srrm4/nSR100 and its paralog Srrm3. Remarkably, the eMIC domain is necessary and sufficient for microexon splicing, and functions by interacting with the earliest components required for exon recognition. The emergence of a novel domain with restricted expression in the nervous system thus resulted in the evolution of splicing programs that contributed to qualitatively expand neuronal molecular complexity in bilaterians.

RNA-seq of autistic and control cortex

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to assess the status of splicing changes in microexons in the cortex of individuals with autism. Methods: We performed RiboZero Gold (rRNA depleted) 50bp PE RNA-seq in a larger set of case and control samples to define 12 autism and 12 control samples showing the greatest global differential gene expression change. These samples, which show differential expression of the splicing regulator SRRM4, were used to evaluate global splicing changes. Results: Within these samples, 126 of 504 (30%) detected alternative microexons display a mean ?PSI > 10 between ASD and control subjects of which 113 (90%) also display neural-differential regulation. By contrast, only 825 of 15,405 (5.4%) longer (i.e. >27 nt) exons show such misregulation, of which 285 (35%) correspond to neural-regulated exons. Notably, we also observe significantly higher correlations between microexon inclusion and nSR100 mRNA expression levels across the stratified ASD samples and controls, for those microexons regulated by nSR100 relative to those microexons that are not regulated by this factor (p=1.4×10-7, Wilcoxon Sum Rank test). Conclusions: These data suggest microexon regulation is a potentially important mechanism underlying ASD and likely other neurodevelopmental disorders 12 case samples representing a more extreme autism gene expression signature and 12 representative controls; raw data have been submitted to dbGaP

SRRM4/nSR100 directs neuronal-specific microexon splicing of TAF1 mRNA involved in X-linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism

Project description:X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism is a neurodegenerative disease, which is caused by a SVA retrotransposon insertion within TAF1, gene encoding an integral component of the basal transcription factor TFIID. The SVA insertion has been shown to induce defects both in biosynthesis and in alternative splicing of TAF1 mRNA in various cell types. This includes the reduction of a neuron-specific isoform of TAF1 mRNA generated by inclusion of the evolutionary conserved microexon 34’ (TAF1-34’). In this study, we investigated the tissue distribution of TAF1-34’ mRNA and protein and the neuron-specific mechanism sustaining its alternative splicing. Using isoform-specific RNA probes and antibodies, we observe that canonical TAF1 and TAF1-34’ have different distributions in the brain. To our knowledge, this is the first in situ detection of a microexon. We find that the differential expression of these two isoforms distinguishes proliferating from post-mitotic neurons in vitro and in vivo. Knockdown and ectopic expression experiments in cell lines demonstrated that the neuron-specific splicing factor nSR100/SRRM4 is directing the inclusion of microexon 34’ into TAF1 mRNA. These results show that SRRM4 regulates temporal and spatial distribution of alternative TAF1 mRNAs to generate a neuron-specific isoform of basal transcription factor TFIID.

MJAY analysis of cerebellar RNA obtained from Srrm3 gene-trapped mice and wild-type mice

Project description:The Bronx waltzer mutation in Srrm4, a gene that encodes a neuronal Ser/Arg (SR)-rich splicing factor, disrupts the expression of several alternative exons specifically in the inner ear. Here we show that the expression of SRRM3 in neurons limits the distribution of SRRM4-dependent splicing. In vitro, SRRM3 and SRRM4 regulated the same alternative exons, yet in vivo Srrm3 deficiency caused neuronal splicing alterations and motor dysfunction, indicating that SRRM3 has non-redundant functions. Mice harboring mutations in both Srrm3 and Srrm4 failed to breathe, and their neuromuscular junctions (NMJ) were malformed. Transcriptome-wide analysis revealed a large network of SRRM3/SRRM4-dependent splicing changes, including the skipping of key exons in the NMJ organizer Agrin. Furthermore, SRRM3/SRRM4 regulated gene expression through neuron-specific switches in chromatin regulatory complexes and by altering the reading frame in several mRNAs. Our findings reveal that the SRRM3/SRRM4 subfamily of SR proteins is central to regulation of the neuronal transcriptome. In this dataset, we include probe-set level data obtained from cerebellar samples. The processed data represent probe-set intensities that have been normalized to gene expression levels.
