FASTKD5 processes mitochondrial pre-mRNAs at non-canonical cleavage sites

ABSTRACT: The first post-transcriptional step in mammalian mitochondrial gene expression, required for the synthesis of the 13 polypeptides encoded in mtDNA, is endonucleolytic cleavage of the primary polycistronic transcripts. Excision of the mtDNA-encoded tRNAs releases most mature RNAs; however, processing of three non-canonical mRNAs not flanked by tRNAs (CO1, CO3, CYB) requires FASTKD5. To investigate the molecular mechanism involved, we created knockout human cell lines to use as assay systems. The absence of FASTKD5 produced a severe OXPHOS assembly defect due to the inability to translate two unprocessed non-canonical mRNAs and predicted altered folding patterns specifically at the 5’-end of the CO1coding sequence. Structural features 13-15 nt upstream of the CO1 and CYB cleavage sites suggest FASTKD5 recognition mechanisms. Remarkably, a map of essential FASTKD5 amino acid residues revealed RNA substrate specificity; however, a key, putative active site residue was required for processing all three non-canonical pre-RNAs. Mutating this site resulted in a substantial increase in binding affinity with all client RNA substrates. A reconstituted in vitro system showed that wild-type, but not mutant, FASTKD5, was able to cleave client substrates correctly. These results establish FASTKD5 as the missing piece of biochemical machinery required to completely process the primary mitochondrial transcript.

Effect of QTRT2 KO on mitochondrial translation

Project description:Mitochondria are organelles that generate most of the energy in eukaryotic cells in the form of ATP via oxidative phosphorylation in eukaryote. Twenty-two species of mitochondrial (mt-)tRNAs encoded in mtDNA are required to translate essential subunits of the respiratory chain complexes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. mt-tRNAs contain post-transcriptional modifications introduced by nuclear-encoded tRNA-modifying enzymes. These modifications are required for deciphering genetic code accurately, as well as stabilizing tRNA. Loss of tRNA modifications frequently results in severe pathological consequences. We performed a comprehensive analysis of post-transcriptional modifications of all human mt-tRNAs, including 14 previously-uncharacterized species, and revised the modification status of some of the previously studied species. In total, we found 17 kinds of RNA modifications at 137 positions (8.7% in 1,575 nucleobases) in 22 species of human mt-tRNAs. An up-to-date list of 34 genes responsible for human mt-tRNA modifications are provided. We here demonstrated that both QTRT1 and QTRT2 are required for biogenesis of queuosine (Q) at position 34 of four mt-tRNAs. Our results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the mitochondrial decoding system, and could help to elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of human mitochondrial diseases caused by aberrant tRNA modifications.

Non-canonical RNA substrates of Drosha lack many of the conserved features found in primary microRNA stem-loops

Project description:The RNase III enzyme Drosha has a central role in microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis, where it required to release the stem-loop intermediate from primary (pri)-miRNA transcripts. However, it can also cleave stem-loops embedded within messenger (m)RNAs. This destabilizes the mRNA causing target gene repression and has been found to occur primarily in stem cells. While pri-miRNA stem-loops have been extensively studied, such non-canonical substrates of Drosha has yet to characterized in detail. In this study, we employed high-throughput sequencing to capture all polyA-tailed RNAs that are cleaved by Drosha in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We then compared the features of non-canonical versus miRNA stem-loop substrates. First, these mRNA substrates are less efficiently processed than miRNA stem-loops. Sequence and structural analyses revealed that these substrates are also less stable and more likely to fold into alternative structures than miRNA stem-loops. Moreover, they lack the sequence and structural motifs found in miRNAs stem-loops that are required for precise cleavage. Notably, we discovered a non-canonical Drosha substrate that is cleaved in an inverse manner, which is a process that is normally inhibited by features in miRNA stem-loops. Our study thus provides valuable insights into the recognition of non-canonical targets by Drosha.

Integral nuclear pore proteins bind to Pol III genes and are required for Pol III transcript processing in C. elegans [array]

Project description:Nuclear pores associate with active protein-coding genes in yeast and have been implicated in transcriptional regulation. Here, we show that in addition to transcriptional regulation, key components of C. elegans nuclear pores are required for processing of a subset of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and tRNAs transcribed by RNA Polymerase (Pol) III. Chromatin immunoprecipitation of NPP-13 and NPP-3, two integral nuclear pore components, and importin-M-CM-^_ IMB-1, provides strong evidence that this requirement is direct. All three proteins associate specifically with tRNA and snoRNA genes undergoing Pol III transcription. These pore components bind immediately downstream of the Pol III pre-initiation complex, but are not required for Pol III recruitment. Instead, NPP-13 is required for cleavage of tRNA and snoRNA precursors into mature RNAs, whereas Pol II transcript processing occurs normally. Our data suggest that integral nuclear pore proteins act to coordinate transcription and processing of Pol III transcripts in C. elegans. Genome-wide ChIP-seq and ChIP-chip were performed in mixed-stage C. elegans embryos for nuclear pore proteins NPP-13, NPP-3, IMB-1 and chromatin proteins Pol III (RPC-1), TBP-1, TFC-1 (SFC-1), TFC-4 (TAG-315), and Pol II (AMA-1). For RPC-1 and TBP-1 ChIP-seq, embryos depleted for NPP-13 were also used. Total RNAs from wild-type, NPP-13 RNAi, and IMB-1 RNAi embryos were analyzed by RNA-seq.

Transcription profiling of human cells to the absence of mitochondrial DNA

Project description:Mitochondrial biogenesis is under the control of two different genetic systems: the nuclear genome (nDNA) and the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA). mtDNA is a circular genome of 16.6 kb encoding 13 of the approximately 90 subunits that form the respiratory chain, the remaining ones being encoded by the nuclear genome (nDNA). Eukaryotic cells are able to monitor and respond to changes in mitochondrial function through alterations in nuclear gene expression, a phenomenon first defined in yeast and known as retrograde regulation. With this experiment we aimed to identify the set of nuclear genes that significantly change their expression level in response to depletion of mtDNA. Experiment Overall Design: We used Affymetrix HG-U133A GeneChips to study the transcriptome of two human cell lines, 143BTK- and A549, which had been entirely depleted of mtDNA (rho0 cells), and compared it with the corresponding undepleted parental cells (rho+ cells). Three independent biological replicates were analyzed for each cell line and treatment group.

Gammaherpesvirus infection alters transfer RNA splicing and triggers tRNA cleavage

Project description:Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are fundamental for both cellular and viral gene expression during viral infection. Moreover, mounting evidence supports a noncanonical role for tRNA cleavage products in the control of gene expression during diverse conditions of stress and infection. We previously reported that infection with the model murine gammaherpesvirus, MHV68, leads to altered tRNA transcription, suggesting that tRNA regulation may play an important role in mediating viral replication or the host response. To better understand how viral infection alters tRNA expression, we combined Ordered Two Template Relay (OTTR) with tRNA-specific bioinformatic software called tRAX to profile full-length tRNAs and fragmented tRNA-derived RNAs (tDRs) during infection with the model gammaherpesvirus, MHV68. We find that OTTR-tRAX is a powerful sequencing strategy for combined tRNA/tDR profiling, and reveal that MHV68 infection triggers pre-tRNA and mature tRNA cleavage, resulting in the accumulation of specific tDRs. Fragments of virally-encoded tRNAs (virtRNAs), as well as virtRNA base modification signatures are also detectable during infection. We further dissected the biogenesis pathway of an MHV68-induced cleavage product from a pre-tRNA. Our data shows that pre-tDR-Tyr expression is dependent on the tRNA splicing factor, TSEN2, and that pre-tDR-Tyr expression is inhibited by the kinase, CLP1, which regulates tRNA splicing. Significantly, our findings suggest that CLP1 kinase is required for infectious gammaherpesvirus production, offering new insight into the importance of tRNA processing during viral infection.
