N1-SRC regulates mRNA splicing during neural development

ABSTRACT: Alternative mRNA splicing generates transcriptomic diversity to direct tissue-specific functions. There is a high level of alternative splicing in the brain, particularly in development, but the master regulators are poorly understood. A key splicing event early in neuronal differentiation is the inclusion of a microexon in the SH3 domain of the ubiquitous tyrosine kinase, C-SRC, to yield the constitutively active, neural-specific N1-SRC kinase. We previously demonstrated that specific inhibition of N1-SRC in developing Xenopus embryos inhibits neurogenesis, but the targets and mode of action of N1-SRC are unknown. In the current study we screened for N1-SRC SH3 domain interactors, surprisingly finding no unique targets compared to C-SRC, but rather a subset of low affinity binders, enriched in splicing regulators. Analysis of public phosphoproteomic data revealed that SRC-dependent phosphorylation of the splicing machinery is widespread and enriched in RNA binding proteins. To investigate whether N1-SRC-dependent regulation of splicing underpins its role in neurogenesis, we undertook long and short read RNAseq analysis of N1-SRC knockdown Xenopus embryos. We observed an upregulation of splicing factor expression and aberrant splicing of splicing regulators, principally HNRNPA1 and TRA2A. The affected splice junctions in both genes were in their glycine rich C-termini and enriched in SFPQ/NONO and FUS binding sites. These RNA binding proteins are SRC substrates and suggest a mechanism by which N1-SRC knockdown leads to mis-splicing of HNRNPA1 and TRA2A. Thus, the neuronal splicing of C-SRC to generate N1-SRC regulates the alternative splicing landscape during neurogenesis.

Incomplete paralog compensation generates selective dependency on TRA2A in cancer

Project description:Paralogs often exhibit functional redundancy, allowing them to effectively compensate for each other's loss. However, this buffering mechanism is frequently disrupted in cancer, exposing unique paralog-specific vulnerabilities. Here, we identify a selective dependency on the splicing factor TRA2A. We find that TRA2A and its paralog TRA2B are synthetic lethal partners that function as widespread and largely redundant activators of both alternative and constitutive splicing. While loss of TRA2A alone is typically neutral due to compensation by TRA2B, we discover that a subset of cancer cell lines are highly TRA2A-dependent. Upon TRA2A depletion, these cell lines exhibit a lack of paralog buffering specifically on shared splicing targets, leading to defects in mitosis and cell death. Notably, TRA2B overexpression rescues both the aberrant splicing and lethality associated with TRA2A loss, indicating that paralog compensation is dosage-sensitive. Together, these findings reveal a complex dosage-dependent relationship between paralogous splicing factors, and highlight how dysfunctional paralog buffering can create a selective dependency in cancer.

Alternative splicing factor hnRNPA1 induces U2AF2 association with Alu-derived RNA

Project description:Alternative splicing drives transcriptome and proteome diversification. While splicing regulatory proteins govern this process, their global mechanisms remain enigmatic. We generated high resolution transcriptome-wide protein-RNA interaction maps to determine how the splicing repressor hnRNPA1 influences the global association of spliceosome assembly factor U2AF2 and SRSF1 with pre-mRNA. We observed changes in the distribution of U2AF2 crosslinking sites relative to the 3’ splice sites of cassette exons but not constitutive exons upon hnRNPA1 overexpression. By contrast, SRSF1 crosslinking patterns relative to splice sites are independent of hnRNPA1 expression levels. We also observed an hnRNPA1-dependent increase in U2AF2 but not SRSF1 crosslinking to exon proximal antisense Alu elements. Thus Alu elements can serve as splicing factor-responsive sinks for U2AF2. These results not only demonstrate a novel mechanism for alternative splicing regulation but also implicate retrotransposon-derived sequences in the evolution of species-specific alternative splicing.

Expression data from triple negative breast cancer cells

Project description:Treatment of triple-negative breast cancer has been challenging and paclitaxel resistance is one of the major obstacles to the better prognosis. Misregulation of alternative splicing (AS) may contribute to tumor progression and chemotherapy resistance. Human AS factor TRA2 has two separate gene paralogs encoding TRA2A and TRA2B proteins. TRA2B is associated with cancer cell survival and therapeutic sensitivity. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression and alternative splicing events underlying paclitaxel treatment and TRA2A upregulation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulate genes as well as alternative splicing genes during this process.

Polypyrimidine Tract Binding Proteins PTBP1 and PTBP2 Interact with Distinct Proteins Under Splicing Conditions

Project description:RNA binding proteins play an important role in regulating alternative pre-mRNA splicing and in turn cellular gene expression. Polypyrimidine tract binding proteins, PTBP1 and PTBP2, are paralogous RNA binding proteins that play a critical role in the process of neuronal differentiation and maturation; changes in the concentration of PTBP proteins during neuronal development direct splicing changes in many transcripts that code for proteins critical for neuronal differentiation. How the two related proteins regulate different sets of neuronal exons is unclear. The distinct splicing activities of PTBP1 and PTBP2 can be recapitulated in an in vitro splicing system with the differentially regulated N1 exon of the c-src pre-mRNA. Here, we conducted experiments under these in vitro splicing conditions to identify PTBP1 and PTBP2 interacting partner proteins.

RNA-binding protein TRA2A promotes glioblastoma by mediating m6A RNA modification of IFITs to recycle p-EGFR

Project description:The RNA-binding protein Transformer 2 alpha homolog (TRA2A), previously identified as an alternative splicing factor, was reported as a crucial oncogene in recent years. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In this study, we found that TRA2A is highly up-regulated in glioblastoma and is significantly correlated with clinical diagnosis and prognosis. We verified that TRA2A promotes the proliferation and metastasis of glioblastoma. Epitranscriptomic profiling further revealed Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeat 1/2/3 (IFIT1/2//3) as the key RNA targets mediated by TRA2A, which further over-activates the EGFR-AKT signaling pathway by enhancing the recycling of p-EGFR. This work reveals a novel oncogenic mechanism of TRA2A in glioblastoma.

Coordinate regulation of alternative pre-mRNA splicing events by the human RNA chaperone proteins hnRNPA1 and DDX5

Project description:Alternative pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing is a post-transcriptional mechanism for controlling gene expression. Splicing patterns are determined by both RNA binding proteins and nuclear pre-mRNA structure. Here, we analyze pre-mRNA splicing patterns, RNA binding sites and RNA structures near these binding sites coordinately controlled by two splicing factors, the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein hnRNPA1 and the RNA helicase DDX5. We identified thousands of alternative pre-mRNA splicing events controlled by these factors by RNA-seq following RNA interference. Enhanced CLIP (eCLIP) on nuclear extracts was used to identify protein-RNA binding sites for both proteins in the nuclear transcriptome. We found a significant overlap between hnRNPA1 and DDX5 splicing targets and that they share many closely linked binding sites as determined by eCLIP analysis. In vivo SHAPE chemical RNA structure probing data was used to model RNA structures near several exons controlled and bound by both proteins. Both sequence motifs and in vivo UV crosslinking sites for hnRNPA1 and DDX5 were used to map binding sites in their RNA targets and often these sites flanked regions of higher chemical reactivity suggesting an organized nature to nuclear pre-mRNPs. This work provides a first glimpse into the possible RNA structures surrounding pre-mRNA splicing factor binding sites.

METTL9 sustains vertebrate neural development primarily via non-catalytic functions

Project description:METTL9 is an enzyme catalysing histidine N1-methylation (1-MH). Given the high levels of this methyltransferase during vertebrate nervous system development, we dissected the roles of Mettl9 during this relevant physiological process. We generated three mouse embryonic stem cell lines featuring a complete Mettl9 knock-out, an inducible degron system, and the endogenous expression of a catalytically inactive protein. Additionally, we employed Xenopus laevis to down-regulate Mettl9 during neural development in vivo. Our multi-omic data indicate that METTL9 exerts a conserved role in sustaining vertebrate neurogenesis. Surprisingly, both perturbation of METTL9 catalytic activity and depletion of METTL9 protein levels without affecting global 1-MH levels show milder neural commitment defects, suggesting a role for both METTL9 catalytic and non-enzymatic activities. These converge towards the secretory pathway, where METTL9 co-localises with the Golgi apparatus and interacts with key regulators of cellular transport, endocytosis and Golgi integrity.

Investigation into human Tra2 protein-dependent splicing in MDA-MB-231 cells using iCLIP and RNA-seq

Project description:Alternative splicing—the production of multiple mRNA isoforms from a single gene—is regulated in part by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). While the RBPs Tra2? and Tra2? have both been implicated in the regulation of alternative splicing, their relative contribution to this process are not well understood. Here we use iCLIP to identify Tra2? target exons in MDA-MB-231 cells. We find that simultaneous—but not individual—depletion of Tra2? and Tra2? induces substantial shifts in the splicing pattern of endogenous Tra2? target exons identified by iCLIP. We next use RNA-seq following joint Tra2 protein depletion to comprehensively identify Tra2 protein-dependent exons in MDA-MB-231 cells. Endogenous Tra2? binding sites were mapped across the MDA-MB-231 cell transcriptome in biological triplicate iCLIP experiments. RNA-seq was performed using three biological replicates of negative control siRNA treated MDA-MB-231 cells and three biological replicates of TRA2A and TRA2B siRNA treated MDA-MB-231 cells.

ESRG regulates alternative splicing of TCF3 to maintain hESCs self-renewal and pluripotency

Project description:Elucidating the mechanism of self-renewal and pluripotency maintenance of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is of great significance in basic research and clinical applications. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play a key role in the self-renewal and pluripotency maintenance of hESCs. We previously reported that the lncRNA ESRG, which is highly expressed in undifferentiated hESCs, can interact with the replication licensing factor MCM2 and inhibit the p53 pathway to maintain the self-renewal and pluripotency of hPSCs. In addition to MCM2, RNA pull-down mass spectrometry showed that ESRG could also bind to other proteins, among which heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (HNRNPA1) attracted our attention. In this study, we show that HNRNPA1 can maintain self-renewal and pluripotency of hESCs. ESRG binds to and stabilizes HNRNPA1 protein through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In addition, knockdown of ESRG or HNRNPA1 resulted in alternative splicing of TCF3, which originally and primarily encodes E12, to mainly encode E47 and inhibit CDH1 expression. HNRNPA1 could rescue the biological function changes of hESCs caused by ESRG knockdown or overexpression. Our results suggest that ESRG regulates the alternative splicing of TCF3 to affect CDH1 expression and maintain hESCs self-renewal and pluripotency by binding and stabilizing HNRNPA1 protein. This study lays a good foundation for exploring the new molecular regulatory mechanism by which ESRG maintains hESCs self-renewal and pluripotency.
