Large-scale tethered screen of RNA-binding proteins reveals novel regulators of poly(A) site selection [eCLIP]

ABSTRACT: Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a widespread mechanism of gene regulation that generates transcript isoforms with distinct 3' ends. While several RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are known to regulate APA, the roles of the vast majority of RBPs in this process remain poorly characterized. Using a large-scale tethered function assay, we screened a library of 879 human RBPs to identify regulators of APA. We discovered 52 RBPs that modulate APA, validated their functions through knockdown PAS-seq and enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (eCLIP), and developed a fine-tuned transformer model to predict activators of PAS selection. We focused on two unexpected hits: GRB2, an adaptor protein with crucial roles in cell signaling, and RNPS1, a member of the exon junction complex (EJC). We uncovered mechanisms by which they modulate APA using affinity purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS) and biochemical assays. Our screen provides a comprehensive resource of RBPs involved in APA and reveals unexpected roles of signaling factors in APA regulation.

Regulation of alternative cleavage and polyadenylation by 3’ end processing and splicing factors

Project description:Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) results in mRNA isoforms containing different 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs) and/or coding sequences. How core cleavage and polyadenylation (C/P) factors regulate APA is not well understood. Using siRNA knockdown coupled with deep sequencing, we found that several C/P factors can play significant roles in 3’UTR-APA. Whereas Pcf11 and Fip1 enhance usage of proximal poly(A) sites (pAs), CFI-25/68, PABPN1, and PABPC1 promote usage of distal pAs. Strong cis element biases were found for pAs regulated by CFI or Fip1, and the distance between pAs plays an important role in APA regulation. In addition, intronic pAs are substantially regulated by splicing factors, with U1 mostly influencing C/P events in 5’ introns and U2 impacting those in efficiently spliced introns. Furthermore, PABPN1 regulates expression of transcripts with pAs near the transcription start site, a property possibly related to its role in RNA degradation. Finally, we found that groups of APA events regulated by C/P factors are also modulated in cell differentiation and development with distinct trends. Together, our results indicate that the abundance of different C/P factors and splicing factors plays diverse roles in APA, and is relevant to APA regulation in biological conditions. knockdown experiments of 23 C/P factors, 3 splicing factors and U1D in mouse C2C12 myoblast cells

RNA polyadenylation landscape in human and mouse cells

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) of mRNAs has emerged as an important mechanism for post-transcriptional gene regulation in higher eukaryotes. Although microarrays have recently been used to characterize APA globally, they have a number of serious limitations that prevents comprehensive and highly quantitative analysis. To better characterize APA and its regulation, we have developed a deep sequencing-based method called Poly(A) Site Sequencing (PAS-Seq) for quantitatively profiling RNA polyadenylation at the transcriptome level. PAS-Seq not only accurately and comprehensively identifies poly(A) junctions in mRNAs and noncoding RNAs, but also provides quantitative information on the relative abundance of polyadenylated RNAs. We first analyzed HeLa cell transcriptome using PAS-Seq to demonstrate that PAS-Seq not only accurately and comprehensively identifies poly(A) junctions, but also provide quantitative information on the relativel abundance of APA isoforms. Next we analyzed the mouse embryonic stem cells, neural stem/progenitor cells, and neurons by PAS-Seq to characterize the dynamic changes of mRNA polyadenylation during stem cell differentiation.

Integrative analysis of RNA binding proteins identifies DDX55 as a novel regulator of 3’UTR isoform diversity

Project description:The 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs) of mRNAs play a critical role in controlling gene expression and function because they contain binding sites for microRNAs and RNA binding proteins (RBPs) that alter mRNA stability, localization, and translation. Most mRNA 3’ ends contain multiple polyadenylation sites (PAS) that can be utilized in condition-specific manners, a process known as alternative polyadenylation (APA), however the mechanisms driving the regulation of APA remain poorly characterized. By integrating a large set of over 500 RNA binding protein (RBP) depletion and binding experiments across two cell lines generated by the ENCODE consortium, we uncovered a number of RBPs in each cell type whose depletion leads to widespread alteration of 3’ UTR patterns. These include not only known regulators of APA, but also many putative novel regulators of 3’UTR isoform expression. We focused analysis on the largely unstudied DEAD box RNA helicase, DDX55, and validate its novel role in 3’UTR isoform regulation using molecular assays and targeted 3’ end sequencing experiments (QuantSeq REV V2, Lexogen). Our findings identify DDX55 as a new regulator of APA, particularly at PAS that contain features of RNA secondary structure. Our data also suggest additional previously unrecognized regulators of 3’ UTR processing and differential stability.

Analysis of alternative cleavage and polyadenylation by 3' region extraction and deep sequencing

Project description:Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) generates diverse mRNA isoforms. We developed 3' region extraction and deep sequencing (3'READS) to address mispriming issues that commonly plague poly(A) site (pA) identification, and we used the method to comprehensively map pAs in the mouse genome. Thorough annotation of gene 3' ends revealed over 5,000 previously overlooked pAs (~8% of total) flanked by A-rich sequences, underscoring the necessity of using an accurate tool for pA mapping. About 79% of mRNA genes and 66% of long noncoding RNA genes undergo APA, but these two gene types have distinct usage patterns for pAs in introns and upstream exons. Quantitative analysis of APA isoforms by 3'READS indicated that promoter-distal pAs, regardless of intron or exon locations, become more abundant during embryonic development and cell differentiation and that upregulated isoforms have stronger pAs, suggesting global modulation of the 3' endM-bM-^@M-^Sprocessing activity in development and differentiation. 3'READS to map pAs in mouse genome

A compendium of conserved cleavage and polyadenylation events in mammalian genes

Project description:Cleavage and polyadenylation is essential for 3’ end processing of almost all eukaryotic mRNAs. Recent studies have shown widespread alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) events leading to mRNA isoforms with different 3’UTRs and/or coding sequences. Here we present a compendium of conserved cleavage and polyadenylation sites (PASs) in mammalian genes, based on ~1.2 billion 3’ end sequencing reads from over 360 human, mouse and rat samples. We show that ~80% of mammalian mRNA genes contain at least one conserved PAS, and ~50% have conserved APA events. PAS conservation generally reduces promiscuous 3’ end processing, stabling gene expression levels across species. Conservation of APA correlates with gene age, gene expression features, and gene functions. Genes with certain functions, such as cell morphology, cell proliferation, and mRNA metabolism, are particularly enriched with APA events. While tissue-specific genes typically have a low APA rate, brain-specific genes tend to evolve APA. We show enrichment of mRNA destabilizing motifs in alternative 3’UTR sequences, leading to substantial differences in mRNA stability between 3’UTR APA isoforms. Using conserved PASs, we reveal sequence motifs surrounding APA sites and a preference of adenosine at the cleavage site. Mutations of the U-rich motif around the PAS often accompany APA profile changes between species. Analysis of lncRNA PASs indicates a mechanism of PAS fixation involving evolution of A-rich motifs. Taken together, our results present a comprehensive view of PAS evolution in mammals, and a phylogenic understanding of APA functions.

Divergence in alternative polyadenylation between humans and chimpanzees contributes to gene regulatory differences between species

Project description:Differences in gene regulation contribute to phenotypic differences between humans and other primates. While co-transcriptional gene regulatory mechanisms such as alternative polyadenylation (APA) can help explain how variation in gene regulation manifests, such mechanisms remain understudied. We measured polyadenylation site (PAS) usage in a panel of 6 human and 6 chimpanzee lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). While APA is largely conserved between humans and chimpanzees, genes with divergent APA patterns are enriched among differentially expressed and differentially translated genes. Differential usage of 3’ UTR and intronic PAS are both significantly correlated with differential mRNA expression effect sizes but in opposite directions. For many genes, there is one PAS dominant, meaning it is used much more often than others. The dominant PAS for these gene is overwhelmingly shared between species, however, differences in dominant PAS are enriched for genes with expression differences. Finally, through post-translational mechanisms, we believe APA contributes to genes differentially expressed at the protein level but not in mRNA. As this is the first primate comparative study of APA, our study establishes APA as a key mechanism underlying the genetic regulation of gene and protein expression levels in primates.

Distinct regulation of alternative polyadenylation and gene expression by nuclear poly(A) polymerases

Project description:Polyadenylation of nascent RNA by poly(A) polymerase (PAP) is important for 3’ end maturation of almost all eukaryotic mRNAs. Most mammalian genes harbor multiple polyadenylation sites (PASs), leading to expression of alternative polyadenylation (APA) isoforms with distinct functions. How poly(A) polymerases may regulate PAS usage and hence gene expression is poorly understood. Here we show that the nuclear canonical (PAPalpha and PAPgamma) and non-canonical (Star-PAP) PAPs play diverse roles in PAS selection and gene expression. Deficiencies in the PAPs resulted in perturbations of gene expression, with Star-PAP impacting lowly expressed mRNAs and long-noncoding RNAs to the greatest extent. Importantly, different PASs of a gene are distinctly regulated by different PAPs, leading to widespread relative expression changes of APA isoforms. The location and surrounding sequence motifs of a PAS appear to differentiate its regulation by the PAPs. We show Star-PAP-specific PAS usage regulates the expression of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor EIF4A1, the tumor suppressor gene PTEN, and the long non-coding RNA NEAT1. The Star-PAP-mediated APA of PTEN is essential for DNA damage-induced increase of PTEN protein levels. Together, our results reveal a PAS-guided and PAP-mediated paradigm for gene expression in response to cellular signaling cues.
