C18orf21/RMP24 and Nepro/RMP64 are RNase MRP-specific subunits required for 40S ribosome biogenesis

ABSTRACT: RNase P and RNase MRP are evolutionarily-related ribonucleoprotein complexes that share common protein subunits, but carry out distinct site-specific endonuclease activities. Here, we identify two RNase MRP-specific proteins C18orf21 (RMP24) and Nepro (RMP64). C18orf21 contains a structurally similar N-terminal domain to Rpp21, but has a distinct subcellular localization and RNA-binding specificity, allowing C18orf21 to uniquely associate with RNase MRP. We ectopically express C18orf21 (RNase MRP specific), Nepro (RNase MRP specific), Rpp21 (RNase P specific), and Rpp14 (shared subunit), with a C-terminal GFP and performed RIP-seq to identify bound RNAs. Our data provide a model to understand C18orf21 physical interactions along with its role in ribosomal RNA processing. In addition to this, we knock out C18orf21, Rpp21, and Rpp14 and analyze their transcriptome. We additionally analyze rRNA intermediates in knockout cells.

Composition and RNA binding specificity of metazoan RNase MRP

Project description:Ribonuclease (RNase) MRP is a conserved RNA-based enzyme that is essential for maturation of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in eukaryotes. However, the composition and RNA substrate specificity of this multisubunit ribonucleoprotein complex in higher eukaryotes remain a mystery. Here, we identify NEPRO and C18ORF21 as constitutive subunits of metazoan RNase MRP. Both proteins are specific to RNase MRP and are the only ones distinguishing this enzyme from the closely related RNase P, which selectively cleaves transfer RNA-like substrates. We find that NEPRO and C18ORF21 each form a complex with all other subunits of RNase MRP, stabilize its catalytic RNA, and are required for rRNA maturation and cell proliferation. We harness our discovery to identify a full suite of in vivo RNA targets of each enzyme, including positions of potential cleavage sites at nucleotide resolution. These findings resolve the general composition of metazoan RNase MRP, illuminate its RNA binding specificity, and provide valuable assets for functional exploration of this essential eukaryotic enzyme.

RNAi profiling by array of human HEp-2 cells with siRNA-mediated depletion of RNase MRP protein components

Project description:To identify mRNA substrates for the human RNase MRP complex, we examined the effects of siRNA-mediated depletion of RNase MRP (and RNase P) on the transcriptome of HEp-2 cells. The expression of two RNase MRP protein components, hPop1 and Rpp40, was knocked-down and after 48 hours mRNA was isolated from these cells as well as from cells transfected with an siRNA targeting the GFP mRNA (siEGFP), which was used as a control. The expression levels of mRNAs were analyzed on a genome-wide scale using 21K microarrays.

A disease-linked lncRNA mutation in RNase MRP inhibits ribosome synthesis [yeast]

Project description:Mutations in the human RMRP gene cause Cartilage Hair Hypoplasia (CHH), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by skeletal abnormalities and impaired T-cell activation. RMRP encodes a non-coding RNA, which forms the core of the RNase MRP ribonucleoprotein complex. In budding yeast, RMRP cleaves a specific site in the pre-ribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA) during ribosome synthesis. CRISPR-mediated disruption of RMRP in human cells lines caused growth arrest, with pre-rRNA accumulation. Here, we analyzed disease-relevant primary cells, showing that mutations in RMRP impair mouse T cell activation and delay pre-rRNA processing. Analysis of pre-rRNA processing in patient-derived human fibroblasts with CHH-linked mutations showed a similar pattern of processing delay. Human cells engineered with the most common CHH mutation (70AG in RMRP) show specifically impaired pre-rRNA processing, resulting in reduced mature rRNA and a reduced ratio of cytosolic to mitochondrial ribosomes. Moreover, the 70AG mutation caused a reduction in intact RNase MRP complexes. Together, these results indicate that CHH is a ribosomopathy, and the first human disorder of rRNA processing to be described.

Reversible proliferative arrest induced by rapid depletion of RNase MRP

Project description:Cellular quiescence is a state of reversible proliferative arrest that plays essential roles in development, resistance to stress, aging, and longevity of organisms. Here we report that rapid depletion of RNase MRP, a deeply conserved RNA-based enzyme required for rRNA biosynthesis, induces a long-term yet reversible proliferative arrest in human cells. Severely compromised biogenesis of rRNAs along with acute transcriptional reprogramming precede a gradual decline of the critical cellular functions. Unexpectedly, many arresting cells show increased levels of histone mRNAs, which accumulate locally in the cytoplasm, and S-phase DNA amount. The ensuing proliferative arrest is entered from multiple stages of the cell cycle and can last for several weeks with uncompromised cell viability. Strikingly, restoring expression of RNase MRP leads to a complete reversal of the arrested state with resumed cell proliferation at the speed of control cells. We suggest that targeting rRNA biogenesis may provide a general strategy for rapid induction of a reversible proliferative arrest, with implications for understanding and manipulating cellular quiescence.
