A noncanonical Pol III-dependent, Microprocessor-independent biogenesis pathway generates a germline enriched miRNA family

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. In canonical miRNA biogenesis, primary miRNAs are transcribed from intergenic loci or intronic regions by RNA polymerase II, sequentially cleaved by the Microprocessor complex and Dicer, and resulting mature miRNAs are loaded into Argonaute to repress target mRNAs. A minority of miRNAs are generated via noncanonical biogenesis pathways that bypass the Microprocessor and/or Dicer. Here, we describe a new Pol III-dependent, Microprocessor -independent, and Dicer-dependent biogenesis pathway exemplified by the mir-1829 family in C. elegans. Although the mir-1829 family loci reside in intronic regions of protein-coding genes, we show that the miRNAs are derived from independent Pol III transcripts. Unlike other Pol III-dependent miRNAs, the mir-1829 family small RNAs are the dominant species derived from their loci, rather than fragments of a larger functional noncoding RNA. These germline-enriched miRNAs are loaded in multiple miRNA Argonautes, including the recently-characterized germline Argonaute ALG-5, which we demonstrate is repressive when tethered to a reporter transcript. We extend these findings, identifying additional Pol III-transcribed and noncanonical small RNAs in C. elegans and human datasets, including human miR-4521. These young, noncanonical miRNAs may represent an early snapshot in the evolution of de novo miRNA genes.

Re-evaluation of the roles of DROSHA, Exportin 5, and DICER in microRNA biogenesis

Project description:Biogenesis of canonical microRNAs (miRNAs) involves multiple steps: nuclear processing of primary miRNA (pri-miRNA) by DROSHA, nuclear export of precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA) by Exportin 5 (XPO5), and cytoplasmic processing of pre-miRNA by DICER. To gain a deeper understanding of the contribution of each of these maturation steps, we deleted DROSHA, XPO5, and DICER in the same human cell line, and analyzed their effects on miRNA biogenesis. Canonical miRNA production was completely abolished in DROSHA-deleted cells while we detected a few DROSHA-independent miRNAs including three previously unidentified noncanonical miRNAs (miR-7706, miR-3615, and miR-1254). In contrast to DROSHA knockout, many canonical miRNAs were still detected without DICER albeit at markedly reduced levels. In the absence of DICER, pre-miRNAs are loaded directly onto AGO and trimmed at the 3â² end, yielding miRNAs from the 5â² strand (5p miRNAs). Interestingly, in XPO5 knockout cells, most miRNAs are affected only modestly, suggesting that XPO5 is necessary but not critical for miRNA maturation. Our study demonstrates an essential role of DROSHA and an important contribution of DICER in the canonical miRNA pathway, and reveals that the function of XPO5 can be complemented by alternative mechanisms. Thus, this study allows us to understand differential contributions of key biogenesis factors, and provides with valuable resources for miRNA research. Two independent sequencing experiments (set 1 and set 2, respectively) were performed using 9 samples.

PARN mediates 3'-end trimming of Argonaute-cleaved precursor microRNAs

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are typically generated as ~22-nucleotide double-stranded RNAs via processing of precursor hairpins by the RNase III enzyme Dicer, after which they are loaded into Argonaute (Ago) proteins to form RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). However, the biogenesis of miR-451, an erythropoietic miRNA conserved in vertebrates, does not require Dicer processing. Instead, the short pre-miR-451 precursor hairpin is directly loaded into Ago, followed by cleavage of the 3' arm and trimming of the 3' end to the mature length by PARN. Here we show the in vivo activity of miR-430 Ago2-hairpin, a canonical microRNA engineered to fit the structure of miR-451 and hence become Ago2-dependent. Moreover, we test a modified miR-430 Ago2-haipin with 3x phoshorothioate bonds that impairs trimmng. Surprisingly, our data show that trimming of Ago-cleaved pre-miRNAs is not essential for target silencing, indicating that RISC is functional with miRNAs longer than 22-nucleotides.

A biogenesis step upstream of Microprocessor controls miR-17~92 expression

Project description:The precise control of miR-17~92 microRNA (miRNA) is essential for normal development and overexpression of certain miRNAs from this cluster is oncogenic. Here we find the relative expression of the six miRNAs processed from the primary (pri-miR-17~92) transcript is dynamically regulated during embryonic stem cell differentiation. We identify a new miRNA biogenesis intermediate, termed ‘progenitor-miRNA’ (pro-miRNA), that is an efficient substrate for Microprocessor. An autoinhibitory 5’ RNA fragment is cleaved to generate pro-miRNA and selectively license Microprocessor-mediated production of pre-miR-17, -18a, -19a, 20a, and -19b. Using genetic, biochemical, and structural methods we define two complementary cis-regulatory repression domains required for the formation of this inhibitory RNA conformation. We find the endonuclease CPSF3 (CPSF73), and the Spliceosome-associated ISY1 are required for pro-miRNA biogenesis and expression of all miRNAs within the cluster except miR-92. Thus, developmentally regulated generation of pro-miRNA explains the posttranscriptional control of miR-17~92 expression in development.

miR-18a regulates the miRNAs by target Dicer in Nasopharyngeal carcinoma HK-1 cell.

Project description:As the biogenesis of miRNAs depends on the cleavage by the RNase III enzyme Dicer, miR-18a may change the miRNA expression profiles by targeting dicer. We then performed the miRNA array assay to investigate the miRNA profiles change caused by miR-18a. Total RNA obtained from two pairs,one is the miR-18a overexpression cell line compared to the miRNAs (control), the other is the over-expression miR-18a cell line transfected Dicer plasmid.

Modulation of microRNA processing by 5-lipoxygenase

Project description:Here, we describe the modulation of miRNA processing as a novel noncanonical function of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) enzyme in monocytic cells. In differentiated Mono Mac 6 (MM6) cells, we found an in situ interaction of 5-LO with Dicer, a key enzyme in miRNA biogenesis. RNA sequencing of small non-coding RNAs revealed a functional impact, knockout of 5-LO altered the expression profile of several miRNAs. Our observations suggest that 5-LO regulates the miRNA profile by modulating the Dicer-mediated processing of distinct pre-miRNAs. 5-LO inhibits the formation of let-7e which induces cell differentiation and promotes the generation of the oncomirs miR-99b and miR-125a which induce cell proliferation and the maintenance of leukemic stem cell functions.

Two miRNAs are sufficient for C. elegans embryogenesis

Project description:The Microprocessor, composed of Drosha and Pasha/DGCR8, is necessary for the biogenesis of canonical microRNAs (miRNAs), and required for animal embryogenesis. However, the cause for this requirement is largely unknown. The Microprocessor may be required to produce one or few essential miRNAs, or alternatively, many individually non-essential miRNAs. Additionally, Drosha and Pasha/DGCR8 may be required for processing non-miRNA substrates. To distinguish between these possibilities, we developed a system in C. elegans to stringently deplete embryos from the Microprocessor and miRNAs. We show that the early embryonic arrest upon loss of the Microprocessor is rescued by the addition of two individual miRNAs from the miR-35 and miR-51 families, resulting in morphologically normal larvae. Thus, just two canonical miRNAs are sufficient for morphogenesis and organogenesis in C. elegans, and indicate that miRNA processing explains the essential requirement for the Microprocessor during embryogenesis.
