Differential IRES-initiated translation during homeostatic stem cell differentiation and stress

ABSTRACT: Cell stress commonly induces preferentially reduced m7G-cap-dependent translation initiation while cap-indendepent, IRES-mediated initiation persists. We investigated differential translation initiation in the highly regulated protein production of somatic stem cells by generating a reporter mouse quantifying the ratio of IRES-mediated to cap-dependent translation in vivo. Both hematopoietic and epithelial stem cells exhibited minimal IRES utilization that progressively increased with differentiation. Notably, even within defined differentiation states, lower IRES/Cap was associated with increased clonogenicity regardless of cell cycle and among HSCs, with greater long-term multi-lineage regeneration. The RNA binding protein PTBP1 is a key modulator of IRES utilization during differentiation by CRISPR/Cas9i screening. Even within IRES-low immature stem/progenitor cells, nutrient stress upregulated IRES utilization, pointing to distinct roles of IRES in cell behavior depending on physiologic state.

Identification of the TXNIP IRES and characterization of the impact of regulatory IRES trans-acting factors

Project description:Translation is a tightly regulated and is predominantly controlled at the level of its initiation. Initiation occurs in a cap-dependent manner. Under stress conditions when cap-dependent translation is hampered, internal ribosome entry sites (IRESes) allow for cap-independent translation of certain mRNAs. IRES-dependent translation is commonly regulated by RNA-interacting proteins, known as IRES trans-acting factors (ITAFs). In the present study, we searched for new IRESes by identifying 5’ untranslated regions (UTRs) bound by the ITAF hnRNPA1. Using a PAR-iCLIP approach, we found the mRNA of thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP) bound by hnRNPA1. Upon verification of an IRES element within the 5’UTR of TXNIP, we determined additional interacting proteins, which predominantly appeared to interact with the IRES-regulatory second half of the 5’UTR. Amongst these PTB, FBP3, and GEMIN5 emerged as functional ITAFs. Finally, we found that the TXNIP IRES-inhibitory effect of PTB was dominant over the activating effect of FBP3, while it succumbed to the stimulatory function of GEMIN5. In summary, we identified and characterized a novel IRES within the 5’UTR of TXNIP, which is regulated by the ITAFs PTB, FBP3, and GEMIN5.

Pervasive translation of circular RNAs driven by short IRES-like elements

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of abundant RNAs with ambiguous function. Although some circRNAs can be translated through IRES driven mechanisms, the scope and functions of circRNA translation are unclear because endogenous IRESs are rare. To determine the prevalence and mechanism of circRNA translation, we developed a cell-based system to screen random sequences and identified 97 overrepresented AU-rich hexamers (>2% of all hexamers) that drive cap-independent translation of circRNAs. These IRES-like short elements are significantly enriched in circRNAs and sufficient to drive circRNA translation. We further identified multiple trans-acting factors that bind these IRES-like short elements to initiate translation. Using mass-spectrometry data, hundreds of circRNA-coded peptides were identified, most of which have low abundance due to rapid degradation. As judged by mass-spectrometry, 50% of translatable endogenous circRNAs undergo rolling circle translation, several of which were experimentally validated by western blotting. Consistently, the mutation of the IRES-like short element in one circRNA reduced its translation. Collectively, our findings suggest a pervasive translation of circRNAs, providing profound implications in circRNA function.

Transcriptional and polysomal profile of poliovirus-infected HUVECs

Project description:Translation initiation of eukaryotic mRNAs mostly occurs by the cap-dependent ribosome scanning mechanism. However, certain mRNAs are translated by ribosome assembly at internal ribosome entry sites (IRES), a mechanism that allows the synthesis of certain proteins when cap-dependent translation is inhibited by cellular stress. Whether IRES-mediated translation occurs in stressed human endothelial cells (EC) is unknown. We performed whole genome microarray analysis of polyribosomal mRNA (43,203 sequences) from virus-infected EC to identify IRES-containing mRNAs.

A versatile IRES toolbox to determine IRES-like activity exemplified by Hoxa mRNA expression and translation in mouse embryonic tissues

Project description:Widespread control of gene expression at the level of translation has emerged as a key point of protein expression regulation in space and time. Internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESes) are a prominent mechanism by which ribosomes can confer greater gene regulation. However, their rigorous functional characterization remains difficult. Here we present a versatile toolbox of technologies in embryos and cells including single-molecule mRNA isoform imaging, Pacbio long read sequencing, isoform-sensitive mRNA quantification along polysome profiles, and IRES-like translation of circular RNA (circRNA) reporters as a new guide to understanding IRES-mediated regulation. We investigate the disputed IRES-like RNA elements in embryonic Hoxa mRNAs. We show the relative expression, localization and translation of the IRES-like containing Hoxa9 mRNA isoform in specific embryonic tissues, and Hoxa IRES-like dependent translation in circRNAs. We thereby provide a new resource of technologies to elucidate the roles of IRES-like elements in gene regulation and embryonic development.

Scope and mechanism of eIF4F-independent mRNA translation

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, protein synthesis typically begins with the binding of eIF4F to the 7-methylguanylate (m7G)cap found on the 5’ end of the majority of mRNAs. Surprisingly, overall translational output remains robust under eIF4F inhibition. The sustained protein synthesis has been largely attributed to cap-independent translation mediated by internal ribosome entry sites (IRES). However, the IRES-driven translation is substrate-specific and largely incompatible with the broad spectrum of eIF4F-resistant translatomes.Here, we report that N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-mediated translation prevails on capped mRNAs and is resistant to eIF4F inactivation.Depletion of the methyltransferase METTL3 selectively inhibits translation of mRNAs bearing 5’UTR methylation, but not mRNAs with 5’ terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP) elements. Mechanistically, we identify ABCF1 as a critical mediator of m6A-promoted translation under both stress and physiological conditions. Supporting the role of ABCF1 in m6A-mediated cap-independent translation, ABCF1-sensitive transcripts largely overlap with METTL3-responsible mRNA targets. By illustrating the scope and the mechanism of translation initiation that is neither cap- nor IRES-dependent, these findingsreshape our current perceptions of cellular translational pathways

Identification of ribosome proteins bound to IRES in hypoxia

Project description:Hypoxic conditions prompt internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-mediated translation of some of the hallmark cancer genes, such as VEGF. This translational switch is extremely vital for cell survival and tumor progression. Heterogeneity in ribosomes due to the diversity of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and protein composition has been postulated to generate ‘specialized ribosomes’ that differentially regulate translation. A VEGF IRES sequence was used as bait to identify unique proteins bound at the IRES in breast cancer cells grown in hypoxia.

mRNA cap methylation in pluripotency and differentiation

Project description:The mRNA cap recruits factors essential for transcript processing and translation initiation. We report that regulated mRNA cap methylation is a feature of embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. Expression of the mRNA cap methyltransferase activating subunit, RAM, is elevated in ESCs resulting in high levels of mRNA cap methylation and expression of Oct4 and Sox2 and other pluripotency-associated factors. During neural differentiation, RAM is suppressed which is required for loss of Oct4 and Sox2 and correct expression of neural markers. Cells were treated with control or RAM siRNA and cytosolic RNA or polysome RNA (actively translated) was sequenced.

Ribosomal deficiencies in Diamond-Blackfan anemia impair translation of transcripts essential for differentiation of murine and human erythroblasts

Project description:Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) is associated with developmental defects and profound anemia. Mutations in genes encoding a ribosomal protein of the small (e.g. Rps19) or large (e.g. Rpl11) ribosomal subunit are found in over half of these patients. The mutations cause ribosomal haploinsufficiency, which reduces overall translation efficiency of cellular mRNAs. We reduced expression of *Rps19* or *Rpl11* in mouse erythroblasts and investigated mRNA polyribosome association, which revealed deregulated translation initiation of specific transcripts. Among these were *Bag1*, encoding a Hsp70 co-chaperone, and *Csde1*, encoding an RNA binding protein, both expressed at increased levels in erythroblasts. Their translation initiation is cap-independent and starts from an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES), which appeared sensitive to knock down of Rps19 or Rpl11. Mouse embryos lacking Bag1 die at embryonic day E13.5 with reduced erythroid colony forming cells in the fetal liver, and low Bag1 expression impairs erythroid differentiation in vitro. Reduced expression of Csde1 impairs proliferation and differentiation of erythroid blasts. Protein but not mRNA expression of *BAG1* and *CSDE1* was reduced in erythroblasts cultured from DBA patients. Our data suggest that impaired IRES-mediated translation of mRNAs expressed at increased levels in erythroblasts contributes to the erythroid phenotype of DBA. 3 biological replicates of erythroblasts treated with different shRNA were used for polyribosomal sucrose gradients; RNA was extracted from gradients in 2 samples - mRNA associated with polyribosomes (poly) and the rest (sub).
