Project description:TRIBE/HyperTRIBE has been developed as an alternative method for transcriptome-wide mapping of the RNA targets of RBPs. This method involves fusing an RBP to the catalytic domain of the Drosophila RNA editing enzyme ADAR. When these fusion proteins are expressed in target cells, they direct A-to-I editing at residues in proximity to RNA binding sites. The control plasmid, mammalian expression plasmid, containing mCherry ADAR control and p2A GFP reporter can be obtained from Addgene (Plasmid #154786). As for RBP-TRIBE plasmid, using standard restriction enzyme-based cloning to clone RBP (DDX6, FUBP3, FXR2 or L1TD1) into TRIBE plasmid in hESCs.

Project description:Most current methods to identify cell-specific RNA binding protein (RBP) targets require analyzing an extract, a strategy that is problematic with small amounts of material. We previously addressed this issue by developing TRIBE, a method that expresses an RBP of interest fused to the catalytic domain (cd) of the RNA editing enzyme ADAR. TRIBE performs Adenosine-to-Inosine editing on candidate RNA targets of the RBP. However, target identification is limited by the efficiency of the ADARcd. Here we describe HyperTRIBE, which carries a previously characterized hyperactive mutation (E488Q) of the ADARcd. HyperTRIBE identifies dramatically more editing sites than TRIBE, many of which are also edited by TRIBE but at a much lower editing frequency. The data have mechanistic implications for the enhanced editing activity of the HyperADARcd as part of a RBP fusion protein and also indicate that HyperTRIBE more faithfully recapitulates the known binding specificity of its RBP than TRIBE.

Project description:Understanding RBPs’ molecular functions as well as their cell-type specific activity requires identification of RBPs’ direct mRNA targets. However, efforts to identify RNA targets of RNA binding proteins in stem cells have been hindered by limited cell numbers. Here we adapt the HyperTRIBE method using an RBP fused to a Drosophila RNA editing enzyme (ADAR) to allow for global mapping of mRNA targets of the RBP MSI2 in rare mammalian adult stem cells. We first tested to see if this method is applicable in mammalian systems. We overexpressed MSI2 fusion with the catalytic domain of the Hyperactive ADAR mutant (MSI2-ADA) or with the dead catalytic mutant (MSI2-DCD) in MOLM-13 human leukemia cells. As ADAR converts A to I (G), the fusion leaves a "finger-print" where MSI2 binds. MSI2-DCD and empty vector controls were used to normalize the background editing.

Project description:Nearly every step of RNA regulation is mediated by binding proteins (RBPs). The most common method to identify specific RBP target transcripts in vivo is by crosslinking (“CLIP” and its variants), which rely on protein-RNA crosslinking and specific antibodies. Another recently introduced method exploits RNA editing, with the hyperactive mutant catalytic domain of ADAR covalently attached to a specific RBP (“HyperTRIBE”). Both CLIP and TRIBE approaches suffer from difficulties in distinguishing real RNA targets from false negative and especially false positive signals. To critically evaluate this problem, we used fibroblasts from a mouse where every endogenous β-actin mRNA molecule was tagged with the bacteriophage MS2 RNA stem loops in the β-actin 3’ UTR; hence there is only a single bona fide target mRNA for the MS2 capsid protein (MCP). CLIP and HyperTRIBE (hereafter referred to as TRIBE) could both detect the single RNA target, albeit with some false positives (transcripts lacking the MS2 stem loops). Consistent false positive CLIP signals could be attributed to nonspecific antibody interactions. However, to our surprise the putative false positive TRIBE targets correlated with the location of genes spatially proximal to the β-actin gene. This result indicates that MCP-ADAR bound to β-actin mRNA contacted and edited nearby nascent transcripts, as evidenced by frequent intronic editing. Importantly, nascent transcripts on nearby chromosomes were also edited, agreeing with the interchromosomal contacts observed in chromosome paint and Hi-C. These results were repeated in human osteosarcoma cells with a randomly integrated and inducible MS2 reporter and indicated that MS2-TRIBE can be applied to a broad array of cells and transcripts. The identification of nascent RNA-RNA contacts imply that RNA-regulatory proteins such as splicing factors can associate with multiple nascent transcripts and thereby form domains of post-transcriptional activity, which increase their local concentrations. These results indicate that TRIBE combined with the MS2 system, MS2-TRIBE, is a new tool to study nuclear RNA organization and regulation.

However, efforts to identify RNA targets of RNA binding proteins in stem cells have been hindered by limited cell numbers. Here we adapted the HyperTRIBE method using an RBP fused to a Drosophila RNA editing enzyme (ADAR) to allow for global mapping of mRNA targets of the RBP MSI2 in rare mammalian adult stem cells. We applied this method to identify MSI2 RNA binding targets in mouse HSPCs (Lin- Sca1+ Kit+ or LSK cells) and mouse leukemic stem cells (LSCs). MSI2 fusion with the catalytic domain of the Hyperactive ADAR mutant (MSI2-ADA) or with the dead catalytic mutant (MSI2-DCD) were overexpressed for 48 hours in LSKs and LSCs, followed by RNA-seq. As ADAR converts A to I (G), the fusion leaves a "finger-print" where MSI2 binds. MSI2-DCD and empty vector controls were used to normalize the background editing. We show that despite comparable expression of the MSI2-ADA fusion protein and endogenous MSI2 in LSCs vs LSKs, MSI2 RNA binding activity (number of targets and editing frequency) in LSCs is significantly higher than that in LSKs. This elevated RNA binding activity is independent of abundancy of the target transcripts.

Project description:Understanding RBPs’ molecular functions as well as their cell-type specific activity requires identification of RBPs’ direct mRNA targets. However, efforts to identify RNA targets of RNA binding proteins in stem cells have been hindered by limited cell numbers. Here we adapted the HyperTRIBE method using an RBP fused to a Drosophila RNA editing enzyme (ADAR) to allow for global mapping of mRNA targets of the RBP MSI2 in rare mammalian adult stem cells. We applied this method to identify MSI2 RNA binding targets in subcompartments of mouse HSPCs including long-term HSCs (LT-HSCs), short-term HSCs (ST-HSCs), multipotent progenitors MPP2 and MPP4. MSI2 fusion with the catalytic domain of the Hyperactive ADAR mutant (MSI2-ADA) or with the dead catalytic mutant (MSI2-DCD) were overexpressed in sorted LSK cells, which were transplanted into mice. After 7 weeks, mouse HSPCs were sorted into 4 populations for RNA-seq. As ADAR converts A to I (G), the fusion leaves a "finger-print" where MSI2 binds. MSI2-DCD and empty vector controls were used to normalize the background editing. We were able to identify MSI2 RNA binding targets in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells for the first time. Furthermore, we show differential RNA binding activity (by target transcripts and editing frequency) of MSI2 in different subcompartments of HSPCs.

Project description:Fungal pathogens depend on sophisticated gene expression programs for successful infection. A crucial component is RNA regulation mediated by RNA-binding proteins. In the biotrophic fungal plant pathogen Ustilago maydis, loss of the multi KH domain containing RBP, Khd4, causes aberrant cell morphology, disturbed hyphal growth and impaired virulence. To investigate the role of Khd4 in the polar growth of infectious hyphae, we established the RNA-editing based hyperTRIBE method to detect in vivo mRNA targets.This technique is especially suited to investigate proteins of high molecular weight or low expression that are difficult to purify (McMahon et al., 2016, Xu et al., 2018, Rahman et al., 2018). HyperTRIBE exploits the RNA editing activity of the catalytic domain of ADAR (Adenosine Deaminase Acting on RNA) from D. melanogaster that additionally carries the mutation E488Q to increase editing (Kuttan and Bass, 2012; designated Ada). We fused the codon-optimized catalytic Ada domain with the green fluorescent protein (see Materials and methods; enhanced version, designated Gfp, Clontech) to the C terminus of Khd4 (Khd4-Ada-Gfp). As a control for background editing, we used the strain expressing Ada-Gfp protein with N-terminal Kat fusion in the wildtype background (control-Ada).

Project description:Stress granules are phase separated assemblies formed around mRNAs that have now been identified after stress granule purification from cell culture. Here, we present a purification free method to detect stress granules RNAs in single cells and in tissues, including those displaying cell heterogeneity. We adapted TRIBE (Target of RNA-binding proteins Identified by Editing) to detect stress-granule RNAs by fusing a stress-granule RNA-binding protein (FMR1) to the catalytic domain of an RNA-editing enzyme (ADAR). RNAs colocalized with this fusion are edited, producing mutations that are detectable by sequencing. We then show that this “in situ" method can reliably identify stress granule RNAs in single S2 cells and in Drosophila neurons, and that they encode cell cycle, transcription and splicing factors. The identification of stress granule RNAs without perturbation opens the possibility to examine cell-to-cell variability and identify the RNA content not only in stress granules, but also in other RNA based assemblies in single cells derived from tissues.

Project description:In HyperTRIBE analysis, a hyperactive mutant of the catalytic domain of ADAR enzyme is fused to an RNA-binding protein of interest in order to identify RNAs that are bound by the protein interest through RNA-sequencing (Rahman et al Nat Protoc. 2018). By discovery of RNAs where adenosines have been edited to iosines, the RNAs that were bound by the protein of interest and then edited by ADAR are identified genome-wide. We conducted this analyis for DDX41, an RNA Helicase protein with multiple described cellular functions, including RNA splicing and innate immune sensing. Because DDX41 mutations have been discovered in leukemia patients, this analysis was conducted in the human lyeloid leukemia cell line THP-1.
