Quantitative profiling of RNA modifications enriched in non-membrane bound cellular structures using APEX-RNA-MS

ABSTRACT: The dynamic behavior of RNA underlies fundamental biological processes. RNA function is controlled by post-transcriptional modifications that are spatiotemporally regulated, but characterizing the distribution of modified RNA transcripts with subcellular resolution is a major challenge. Here we present APEX-RNA-MS, which combines APEX2 proximity labeling with LC-MS quantification of modified ribonucleotides. We use APEX-RNA-MS to characterize RNA modifications proximal to RNA-binding proteins enriched in non-membrane bound cellular structures. We measure changes in protein-proximal RNA modification levels upon induction of DNA damage foci and stress granules, consistent with previous studies using antibody-based imaging and biochemical fractionation. Further, we show that tRNA-specific modifications are proximal to G3BP1 and use RNA sequencing and RNA FISH to demonstrate the accumulation of multiple tRNAs in stress granules. Taken together, our work provides a general approach for characterizing the subcellular distribution of RNA modifications and reveals new insights into the composition and function of cellular condensates.

Proximity RNA labeling by APEX-Seq Reveals the Organization of Translation Initiation Complexes and Repressive RNA Granules

Project description:Stress granules are dynamic non-membrane bound organelles made up of untranslating messenger ribonucleoproteins (mRNPs) that form when cells integrate stressful environmental cues resulting in stalled translation initiation complexes. Although stress granules dramatically alter mRNA and protein localization, understanding these complexes has proven to be challenging through conventional imaging, purification, and crosslinking approaches. We therefore developed an RNA proximity labeling technique, APEX-Seq, which uses the ascorbate peroxidase APEX2 to probe the spatial organization of the transcriptome. We show that APEX-Seq can resolve the localization of RNAs within the cell and determine their enrichment or depletion near key RNA-binding proteins. Matching both the spatial transcriptome using APEX-seq, and the spatial proteome using APEX-mass spectrometry (APEX-MS) provide new insights into the organization of translation initiation complexes on active mRNAs, as well as revealing unanticipated complexity in stress granule contents, and provides a powerful approach to explore the spatial environment of macromolecules.

Metabolic incorporation of electron-rich ribonucleosides enhances APEX-seq for profiling spatially restricted nascent transcriptome

Project description:We present MERR APEX-seq, a method for newly transcribed RNAs subcellular profiling combined metabolic incorporation of electron-rich ribonucleosides, 6-thioguanosine and 4-thiouridine, with the peroxidase-mediated RNA labeling method, APEX-seq. MERR APEX-seq offers both high spatial specificity and high coverage in the mitochondrial matrix and at the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Application of MERR APEX-seq at nuclear lamina of human cells reveals that the mRNA components tend to encode for transcripts processing related proteins. MERR APEX-seq with high spatial specificity and high coverage could be widely used to expand our knowledge of RNA localization and function at subcellular compartments.

Directed evolution of a genetically encoded photocatalyst for temporally resolved proximity labeling of subcellular RNAs and proteins

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, the precise spatial localization of RNAs and proteins is essential for proper cellular function. Genetically encoded photocatalytic proximity labeling techniques have expanded our ability to map subcellular proteomes and transcriptomes, but their temporal resolution remains limited. Here, we introduce Lantern, an engineered flavoprotein optimized via directed evolution, which enables sub‑minute, spatially resolved labeling of cellular biomolecules. Lantern is targetable to diverse subcellular compartments, including the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and stress granules (SGs), to map local transcriptomes (CAP-seq) and proteomes (CAP-MS). Using Lantern, we observed that m6A‑enriched RNAs are recruited to SGs within five minutes of stress induction, while ER‑proximal RNAs associate with the SG scaffold protein G3BP1 during early SG assembly. Additionally, Lantern was adapted for cell-surface tagging (CAP-CELL), enabling spatially resolved cell typing and the analysis of cell-cell interactions. Collectively, this study establishes Lantern as a powerful tool that offers unprecedented temporal resolution for investigating the dynamic organization of subcellular molecular networks.

Simultaneous characterisation of RNA and protein subcellular dynamics

Project description:Existing methods to analyse RNA localisation are constrained to specific RNAs or subcellular niches, precluding the cell-wide mapping of RNA. We present Localisation of RNA (LoRNA), which maps, at once, RNAs to membranous (nucleus, ER and mitochondria) and membraneless compartments (cytosol, nucleolus and phase-separated granules). Simultaneous interrogation of all RNA locations allows the system-wide quantification of RNA proportional distribution and the comprehensive analysis of RNA subcellular dynamics. Moreover, we have re-engineered the LOPIT (Localisation Of Proteins by Isotope Tagging) method, enabling integration with LoRNA, to jointly map RNA and protein subcellular localisation. Applying this framework, we obtain a global re-localisation map for 31839 transcripts and 5314 proteins during the unfolded protein response, uncovering that ER-localised transcripts are more efficiently recruited to stress granules than cytosolic RNAs, and revealing eIF3d is key to sustain cytoskeletal function. Overall, we provide the most exhaustive map to date of RNA and protein subcellular dynamics.

APEX-seq Maps Transcriptome-wide Subcellular RNA Localization in Living Cells

Project description:Although we know a great deal about the subcellular location of most proteins, our knowledge of where most RNAs localize within cells remains limited. As RNA subcellular localization determines the fate, function, and regulation of both coding and non-coding RNAs , there has been substantial interest in developing new scalable approaches to study the location of RNAs in their native context. Furthermore, many locations, such as membrane-bound and membrane-less organelles, have traditionally been challenging to study due to lack of suitable tools to interrogate their constituents. Here, we describe a detailed protocol for APEX-seq that yields transcriptome-wide information of the subcellular address of RNAs that can, in principle, be applied to any subcellular location, membrane, or condensate. APEX-seq utilizes a genetically-encoded engineered ascorbate peroxidase (APEX2) tagged to a specific protein that localizes it to a region of interest. In the presence of biotin-phenol (BP) and hydrogen peroxide, APEX2 catalyzes the biotinylation of RNAs in its vicinity, which can be purified using streptavidin beads and sequenced to reveal the RNA repertoire at that subcellular location. APEX-seq experiments can be carried out by laboratory personnel trained in molecular biology. The analysis of APEX-seq data requires familiarity with standard RNA-seq workflows. With APEX2-expressing cell lines in hand, the entire procedure from labeling reaction to analysis can be completed in one week. We expect this proximity labeling approach to facilitate the unbiased discovery of RNAs localizing to different organelles and to generate hypotheses for the mechanisms and pathways involved in regulating these processes.

Spatially resolved multi-bait mapping of stress granule and processing body transcriptome

Project description:Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic, membrane-less organelles containing complex RNA-protein networks. The RNA components of SGs have been profiled through various approaches, characterized as long, translation-repressed, and highly epigenetically modified. However, it remains unclear whether these RNAs are uniformly distributed within SGs. In this study, we used multiple SG core proteins to genetically target the photocatalyst protein miniSOG, which allows for comprehensive CAP-seq profiling of RNA components within SGs. We discovered that RNAs associated with different SG core proteins exhibit heterogeneous distribution and distinct intrinsic features. Furthermore, we applied CAP-seq to map the RNA components in processing bodies (PBs) under both unstressed conditions and arsenite stimulation. By comparing the SG and PB transcriptomes, our data revealed that m6A modification may promote the localization of RNAs to SGs, while higher AU content may facilitate the targeting of mRNAs to PBs. This suggests potential regulatory roles in determining the subcellular localization of mRNAs within membrane-less organelles.

Live-cell mapping of organelle-associated RNAs via proximity biotinylation combined with protein-RNA crosslinking

Project description:The spatial organization of RNA within cells is a crucial factor influencing a wide range of biological functions throughout all kingdoms of life. However, a general understanding of RNA localization has been hindered by a lack of simple, high-throughput methods for mapping the transcriptomes of subcellular compartments. Here, we develop such a method, termed APEX-RIP, which combines peroxidase-catalyzed, spatially restricted in situ protein biotinylation with RNA-protein chemical crosslinking. We demonstrate that, using a single protocol, APEX-RIP can isolate RNAs from a variety of subcellular compartments, including the mitochondrial matrix, nucleus, bulk cytosol, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER), with specificity and sensitivity that rival or exceed those of conventional approaches. We further identify candidate RNAs localized to mitochondria-ER junctions and nuclear lamina, two compartments that are recalcitrant to classical biochemical purification. Since APEX-RIP is simple, versatile, and does not require special instrumentation, we envision its broad application in a variety of biological contexts.

Global organelle profiling reveals subcellular localization and remodeling at proteome scale

Project description:Defining the subcellular distribution of all human proteins and its remodeling across cellular states remains a central goal in cell biology. Here, we present a high-resolution strategy to map subcellular organization using organelle immuno-capture coupled to mass spectrometry. We apply this workflow to a cell-wide collection of membranous and membrane-less compartments. A graph-based analysis reveals the subcellular localization of over 7,600 proteins, defines spatial networks, and uncovers interconnections between cellular compartments. Our approach can be deployed to comprehensively profile proteome remodeling during cellular perturbation. By characterizing the cellular landscape following hCoV-OC43 viral infection, we discover that many proteins are regulated by changes in their spatial distribution rather than by changes in abundance. Our results establish that proteome-wide analysis of subcellular remodeling provides unique insights for the elucidation of cellular responses, uncovering an essential role for ferroptosis in OC43 infection. Our dataset can be explored at organelles.czbiohub.org.
