Long-read transcriptome-wide RNA structure maps using DMS-FIRST-seq

ABSTRACT: RNA structure plays a critical role in determining RNA function. Transcriptome-wide RNA structure mapping has largely relied on coupling chemical probing reagents with high-throughput sequencing. More recently, the integration of chemical probing with nanopore direct RNA sequencing (DRS) has been proposed as a promising approach to capture RNA structural dynamics at single-molecule resolution. However, DRS produces widespread rather than single-nucleotide signals from modified bases, thereby limiting its precision in RNA structure prediction. Here we introduce FIRST-seq, a method that couples chemical probing with nanopore cDNA sequencing to overcome these limitations, achieving single nucleotide resolution. By systematically examining various RT enzymes and buffers, we optimize conditions that minimize drop-off and enhance error signatures linked to RNA structure. Our results demonstrate that DMS-FIRST-seq generates high-resolution, accurate RNA structure maps in both in vivo and in vitro contexts, offering a valuable tool for transcriptome-wide, isoform-specific RNA structural analysis.

Determination of isoform-specific RNA structure with nanopore long reads

Project description:Current methods for determening RNA structure with short-read sequencing cannot capture most differences between distinct transcript isoforms. Here, we present RNA structure analysis using nanopore sequencing (PORE-cupine),which combines structure probing using chemical modifications with direct long-read RNA sequencing and machine learning to detect secondary structures in cellular RNAs. PORE-cupine also captures global structural features, such as RNA binding protein (RBP) binding sites and reactivity differences at single nucleotide variants (SNVs). We show that shared sequences in different transcript isoforms of the same gene can fold into different structures, highlighting the importance of long-read sequencing for obtaining phase information. We also demonstrate that structural differences between transcript isoforms of the same gene lead to differences in translation efficiency. By revealing isoform-specific RNA structure, PORE-cupine will deepen our understanding of the role of structures in controlling gene regulation.

Template switching enables chemical probing of native RNA structures

Project description:RNAs are often studied in non-native sequence contexts to facilitate structural studies. However, seemingly innocuous changes to an RNA sequence may perturb the native structure and generate inaccurate or ambiguous structural models. To facilitate the investigation of native RNA secondary structure by selective 2′ hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (SHAPE), we engineered an approach that couples minimal enzymatic steps to RNA chemical probing and mutational profiling (MaP) reverse transcription (RT) methods - a process we call template switching and mutational profiling (Switch-MaP). In Switch-MaP, RT templates and additional library sequences are added post-probing through ligation and template switching, capturing reactivities for every nucleotide. For a candidate SAM-I riboswitch, we compared RNA structure models generated by the Switch-MaP approach to those of traditional primer-based MaP, including RNAs with or without appended structure cassettes. Primer-based MaP masked reactivity data in the 5′ and 3′ ends of the RNA, producing ambiguous ensembles inconsistent with the conserved SAM-I riboswitch secondary structure. Structure cassettes enabled unambiguous modeling of an aptamer construct but introduced non-native interactions in the full-length riboswitch. In contrast, Switch-MaP provided reactivity data for each nucleotide in each RNA and enabled unambiguous modeling of secondary structure, consistent with the conserved SAM-I fold. Switch-MaP is an alternative approach to primer-based and cassette-based chemical probing methods that precludes primer masking and the formation of alternative secondary structures due to non-native sequence elements.

Simultaneous mapping of RNA secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure in living cells by multi-site DMS probing II

Project description:Identifying tertiary structures and protein binding sites on RNA molecules remains a key challenge in RNA biology. We report a new chemical probing strategy termed multi-site DMS-MaP (msDMS-MaP) that exploits base tautomerization during mutational profiling reverse-transcription to measure typically invisible DMS-induced modifications at the N7 position of G. These N7-G modifications are now resolved concurrently with conventional N1 and N3 modifications with only minor modifications to established protocols, providing a multi-dimensional, single-molecule readout of RNA structure. We show that N7-G reactivity specifically reports on RNA tertiary and quaternary structure, enabling identification of diverse, functionally significant motifs such as cooperatively folding tertiary domains and protein binding sites in living cells. We apply msDMS-MaP to obtain a map of the quaternary structural ensemble of the 7SK non-coding snRNP, revealing unique protein binding sites across three 7SK structural isoforms. msDMS-MaP represents a broadly applicable strategy for enhanced RNA functional motif discovery and characterization.

High-throughput RNA structure probing reveals critical folding events during early 60S ribosome assembly in yeast.

Project description:While the protein composition of various yeast 60S ribosomal subunit assembly intermediates has been studied in detail, little is known about ribosomal RNA (rRNA) structural rearrangements that take place during early 60S assembly steps. Using a high-throughput RNA structure probing method, we provide nucleotide resolution insights into rRNA structural rearrangements during nucleolar 60S assembly. Our results suggest that many rRNA-folding steps, such as folding of 5.8S rRNA, occur at a very specific stage of assembly, and propose that downstream nuclear assembly events can only continue once 5.8S folding has been completed. Our maps of nucleotide flexibility enable making predictions about the establishment of protein-rRNA interactions, providing intriguing insights into the temporal order of protein-rRNA as well as long-range inter-domain rRNA interactions. These data argue that many distant domains in the rRNA can assemble simultaneously during early 60S assembly and underscore the enormous complexity of 60S synthesis.Ribosome biogenesis is a dynamic process that involves the ordered assembly of ribosomal proteins and numerous RNA structural rearrangements. Here the authors apply ChemModSeq, a high-throughput RNA structure probing method, to quantitatively measure changes in RNA flexibility during the nucleolar stages of 60S assembly in yeast.

DMS-MaPseq chemical probing of pri-miRNA and human mRNA segments

Project description:Understanding macromolecular structures, such as proteins and nucleic acids, is critical for discerning their functions and biological roles. Advanced techniques like crystallography, NMR, and CryoEM have facilitated the determination of over 180,000 protein structures, all cataloged in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). This comprehensive repository has been pivotal in developing deep learning algorithms for predicting protein structures directly from sequences. In contrast, RNA structure prediction has lagged, primarily due to a scarcity of RNA structural data. Here, we present the secondary structures of 1098 pre-miRNAs and 1456 human mRNA regions determined through chemical probing. We develop a novel deep learning architecture, inspired from the Evoformer model of Alphafold and traditional architectures for secondary structure prediction. This new model, called eFold, was trained on our newly created database and over 100,000 secondary structures across multiple sources. We benchmark eFold on a set of challenging RNA structures and show that both our new architecture and dataset contributes to increasing the prediction performance, and outperforming similar end-to-end methods.This result reveals that merely expanding the database size is inadequate; rather, incorporating a greater diversity and complexity of structures is crucial for enhancing performance.

Transcriptome-wide RNA structure probing with temporal resolution

Project description:Reactive small-molecule probes are widely used for RNA structure probing, however current approaches largely measure average RNA transcript dynamics and do not resolve structural differences that occur during folding or transcript maturation. Here, we present SNIPER-seq, an RNA structure probing method relying upon metabolic labeling with 2’-aminodeoxycytidine, structure-dependent 2’-amino reaction with an aromatic isothiocyanate, and high-throughput RNA sequencing. Our method maps cellular RNA structure transcriptome-wide with temporal resolution enabling determination of transcript age-dependent RNA structural dynamics. We benchmark our approach against known RNA structures and investigate the dynamics of human 5S rRNA during ribosome biogenesis, revealing specific structural changes in 5S rRNA loops that occur over the course of several hours. Taken together, our work sheds light on the maturation and coordinated conformational changes that take place during ribosome biogenesis and provides a general strategy for surveying evolving RNA structural dynamics across the transcriptome.

Conserved structural features of the lncRNA HOTAIR in breast cancer cells

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate diverse cellular processes and are frequently implicated in disease, but their functional mechanisms often remain elusive. One such lncRNA, HOTAIR (Hox transcript antisense intergenic RNA), is a ~2.1 kb mammalian transcript whose overexpression promotes invasion and metastasis in breast cancer. However, the mechanisms by which HOTAIR influences gene regulation in cancer are poorly understood. To approach this problem through a structural lens, we determined the full-length in cellulo secondary structure of HOTAIR using chemical probing in a metastatic breast cancer cell line. The resulting structure shows that HOTAIR adopts a multidomain architecture and has local structural features unique to the cellular context. Comparison between in vitro and in cellulo chemical probing identifies regions of differential accessibility that may indicate context-dependent molecular interactions or folding. Conservation analyses further reveal that HOTAIR is conserved across primates with evidence of structural covariation in specific domains. Together, these results provide a roadmap for future mechanistic studies of structure-function relationships in HOTAIR and its contribution to gene regulation in cancer.

Targeted DMS probing of SF3A3 5' UTR

Project description:To delineate the native structure of SF3A3 5'UTR, RNA was harvested from IMR90 human fibroblasts. Using specific primers and DMS-MaPSeq pipeline, we validated individual base pairing probabilities within the endogenous 5'UTR of SF3A3 (samples described as 'in vivo' transcribed). DMS-MaP-Seq is based on the principle that DMS is highly reactive to solvent-accessible, unpaired adenine (A) and cytosine (C) residues, but remains inert toward base-paired A and C engaged in Watson-Crick interactions (Rouskin et al., 2014). Using this methodology, we identify stable stem-loop structure (SL3) positioned within SF3A3 5'UTR. To further validate the functional importance of SL3, the structural point mutant (SF3A3 5'UTR mut: A55C and U95A) and rescue (SF3A3 5'UTR res: A55C and U95A and rescuing point mutations G61U and U100G) sequences of SF3A3 5'UTR were cloned into the reporter plasmid. For the validation of these mutate-and-rescue constructs, plasmids were in vitro transcribed and either used directly (samples described as 'in vitro') for DMS-MaP-Seq probing.
