RNA-coupled CRISPR Screens Reveal ZNF207 as a Regulator of LMNA Aberrant Splicing in Progeria [CRASP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Despite progress in understanding pre-mRNA splicing, the regulatory mechanisms controlling most alternative splicing events remain unclear. We developed CRASP-Seq, a method that integrates pooled CRISPR-based genetic perturbations with deep sequencing of splicing reporters, to quantitively assess the impact of all human genes on alternative splicing from a single RNA sample. CRASP-Seq identified both known and novel regulators, enriched for proteins involved in RNA splicing and metabolism. As proof-of-concept, CRASP-Seq analysis of an LMNA cryptic splicing event linked to progeria uncovered ZNF207, primarily known for mitotic spindle assembly, as a regulator of progerin splicing. ZNF207 depletion enhances canonical LMNA splicing and decreases progerin levels in patient-derived cells. We further show that ZNF207’s zinc finger domain broadly impacts alternative splicing through direct interactions with U1 snRNP components. These findings position ZNF207 as a U1 snRNP auxiliary factor and demonstrate the power of CRASP-Seq to uncover key regulators and domains of alternative splicing.

ALS-causative mutations in FUS/TLS confer gain- and loss-of-function by altered association with SMN and U1-snRNP

Project description:The RNA-binding protein FUS/TLS, mutation in which is causative of the fatal motor neuron disease ALS, is demonstrated to directly bind to the U1-snRNP and SMN complexes. ALS-causative mutations in FUS/TLS are shown to abnormally enhance their interaction with SMN and reduce interaction with U1-snRNP. Correspondingly, global RNA analysis reveals a mutant-dependent loss of splicing activity, with ALS-linked mutants failing to reverse changes caused by loss of wild-type FUS/TLS. Furthermore, a common FUS/TLS mutant-associated RNA splicing signature is identified in ALS patient fibroblasts. Taken together, our studies establish potentially converging disease mechanisms in ALS and spinal muscular atrophy, with ALS-causative mutants acquiring properties representing both gain (dysregulation of SMN) and loss (reduced RNA processing mediated by U1-snRNP) of function. RNA-mediated oligonucleotide Annealing, Selection, and Ligation with Next-Generation sequencing (RASL-seq) method was used for analyzing alternative splicing changes. Oligonucleotide probes are designed to anneal to the exon-exon junctions. The probe library was assembled to assess 5530 unique alternative splicing events, most of which were exon inclusion or skipping, with a minority for alternative 5’- or 3’- splice sites. The splicing changes were compared among groups of reducing FUS/TLS or SMN levels, or expressing various FUS mutations to determine the loss versus gain of FUS/TLS function on splicing regulation.

Novel RNA-binding Proteins Bind U1 snRNA to Promote Splicing of Weak 5' Splice Sites

Project description:Removal of introns during pre-mRNA splicing, which is central to gene expression, initiates by base pairing of U1 snRNA with a 5' splice site (5'SS). In mammals, many introns contain weak 5'SSs that are not efficiently recognized by the canonical U1 snRNP, suggesting alternative mechanisms exist. Here, we develop a cross-linking immunoprecipitation coupled to a high-throughput sequencing method, BCLIP-seq, to identify NRDE2 (Nuclear RNAi defective-2) and CCDC174 (Coiled-Coil Domain-Containing 174) as novel RNA-binding proteins in mouse ES cells that associate with U1 snRNA and unspliced 5'SSs. Both proteins bind directly to U1 snRNA independently of canonical U1 snRNP specific proteins, and they are required for the selection and effective processing of weak 5'SSs. Our results reveal that mammalian cells use non-canonical splicing factors bound directly to U1 snRNA to effectively select suboptimal 5'SS sequences in hundreds of genes, promoting proper splice site choice and accurate pre-mRNA splicing.

U1 snRNP regulates alternative promoter activity by inhibiting premature polyadenylation [TT-seq]

Project description:Transcription and splicing are intricately linked processes, with emerging evidence highlighting the involvement of splicing factors mediating their coupling. U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (U1 snRNP), a key splicing factor, not only serves as the initial component of the spliceosome but also plays a crucial role in preventing premature cleavage and polyadenylation, facilitating long-distance transcription elongation. Here, we show that U1 snRNP regulates alternative promoter usage through inhibition of premature polyadenylation. Inhibiting U1 snRNP with antisense oligonucleotides or introducing a premature polyadenylation leads to a significant decrease in downstream promoter activity in genes with premature polyadenylation sites in between two promoters. Conversely, restoring U1 snRNP activity or inhibiting premature polyadenylation sites using a gene-specific U1 snRNP rescues downstream promoter activity. Mechanistically, U1 snRNP inhibition correlates with reduced chromatin accessibility and serine 5 phosphorylation levels of RNA polymerase II at downstream promoters. Our findings propose a model where U1 snRNP facilitates productive transcription from upstream promoters, triggering downstream promoter activation by destabilizing nucleosomes and promoting promoter escape.

LUC7 is an U1snRNP component that plays a role in alternative splicing and terminal introns removal in plants

Project description:Introns are removed by the spliceosome, a large complex composed of five ribonucleoprotein subcomplexes (U snRNP). In metazoans, the U1 snRNP, which binds to 5’ splice sites, also fulfills regulatory roles in splice site selection and possesses non-splicing related functions. Here, we show that an Arabidopsis U1 snRNP subunit, LUC7, affects constitutive and alternative splicing. Interestingly, LUC7 specifically promotes splicing of a subset of terminal introns. Splicing of LUC7-dependent terminal introns is a prerequisite for nuclear export and can be modulated by stress. Globally, intron retention under stress conditions occurs preferentially among first and terminal introns, uncovering an unknown bias for splicing regulation in Arabidopsis. Taken together, our study reveals that the Arabidopsis U1 snRNP is important for alternative splicing and removal of terminal introns and it suggests that Arabidopsis terminal introns fine-tune gene expression under stress conditions.

U1 snRNP regulates alternative promoter activity by inhibiting premature polyadenylation [ATAC]

Project description:Transcription and splicing are inherently intertwined. Accumulating evidence support a role of splicing factors in mediating this coupling. U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particle (U1 snRNP), a key splicing factor, acts as the initial building block of the spliceosome, interacting with nascent pre-mRNA at 5' splice sites. In addition to its role in splicing, U1 snRNP is crucial for preventing premature cleavage and polyadenylation, enabling long-distance transcription elongation. Here, we show that U1 snRNP can regulate the usage of alternative promoters through its role in inhibiting premature polyadenylation. Using antisense oligonucleotides to inhibit U1 snRNP, we first observed a markedly decrease in downstream promoter activity at the newly synthesized RNA level. Interestingly, U1 snRNP inhibition selectively impacts downstream promoters of genes featuring premature polyadenylation sites located between two promoters. Overexpressing a wild-type U1 snRNP or a gene-specific U1 snRNP designed to inhibit premature polyadenylation sites restores downstream promoter activity. Conversely, introducing a premature polyadenylation site between two promoters reduces downstream promoter activity. Exploring the underlying molecular mechanisms, we identified a substantial decrease in serine 5 phosphorylation levels in newly recruited RNA polymerase II at downstream promoters following U1 snRNP inhibition, and reduced chromatin accessibility in the vicinity of downstream promoters. Overall, our model is consistent with productive transcription from upstream promoters triggering downstream promoter activation in the presence of U1 snRNP by destabilizing nucleosomes and promoting promoter escape at downstream promoters.
