Muscleblind-like proteins dimerize by forming disulfide bonds to influence regulation of alternative splicing

ABSTRACT: Muscleblind-like (MBNL) RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) possess modular domains that contribute to their regulation of alternative splicing and RNA localization. MBNL dimerization may play a role in these functions, but the mechanism is not well understood. Here we identify a cysteine residue in the unstructured carboxy-terminal domain of MBNL1 that enables dimerization by forming intermolecular disulfide bonds. We also demonstrate that MBNL2 likewise dimerizes by forming disulfide bonds between multiple cysteines in its carboxy-terminal tail. Nucleocytoplasmic fractionation revealed a greater proportion of MBNL1 dimer in the nucleus, suggesting a nuclear function for the MBNL1 dimer. We investigated a connection between MBNL1 dimerization and MBNL1-mediated regulation of alternative splicing. To accomplish this, we mutated the MBNL1 cysteine in question to alanine (C325A) and performed RNAseq. We uncovered numerous novel splicing events sensitive to MBNL1 dimerization.

Muscleblind-like compound knockout models for myotonic dystrophy

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a multi-systemic disease that severely impacts cardiac and skeletal muscle functions as well as the central nervous system. DM is unusual because it is RNA-mediated disease due to the expression of C(C)UG expansion RNAs that inhibit the activities of the muscleblind-like (MBNL) proteins. In mice, studies using Mbnl1 and Mbnl2 single knockouts have revealed that Mbnl1 plays a predominant role in skeletal and heart muscle alternative splicing regulation while Mbnl2 performs an analogous splicing function in the brain. However, Mbnl single knockout models fail to recapitulate the full-range of adult-onset DM muscle symptoms. Here, we report that Mbnl1; Mbnl2 double knockouts are embryonic lethal while Mbnl1-/-; Mbnl2+/- mice, which express no Mbnl1 and reduced levels of Mbnl2, are viable but develop cardinal features of adult-onset DM cardiac and skeletal muscle disease including reduced lifespan, heart conduction block, severe myotonia and progressive skeletal muscle weakness. Mbnl2 protein levels are elevated in both Mbnl1-/- and Mbnl1-/-; Mbnl2+/- knockouts where Mbnl2 targets Mbnl1-regulated exons. These findings support the MBNL loss-of-function model for DM and provide novel Mbnl compound knockout models to investigate the molecular pathways disrupted by RNA-mediated disease. Mbnl2 protein-RNA interactions were assessed in 4-month-old WT and Mbnl1-/- quadriceps muscles in triplicates by HITS-CLIP.

Transcriptome-wide Regulation of Splicing and mRNA Localization by Muscleblind Proteins

Project description:The Muscleblind-like (Mbnl) family of RNA-binding proteins plays important roles in muscle and eye development and in Myotonic Dystrophy (DM), where expanded CUG or CCUG repeats functionally deplete Mbnl proteins. We identified transcriptome-wide functional and biophysical targets of Mbnl proteins in brain, heart, muscle, and myoblasts using RNA sequencing and crosslinking/immunoprecipitation-sequencing approaches. This analysis identified several hundred splicing events whose regulation depended on Mbnl function, in a pattern indicative of functional interchangeability between Mbnl1 and Mbnl2. A nucleotide resolution RNA map associated repression or activation of exon splicing with Mbnl binding near either 3' splice site or near the downstream 5' splice site, respectively. Transcriptomic analysis of sub-cellular compartments uncovered a global role for Mbnls in regulating localization of mRNAs encoding membrane, synaptic and other proteins in both mouse and Drosophila cells, and Mbnls also contribute to protein secretion. These findings hold several new implications for DM pathogenesis. To assess global functions of Muscleblind proteins, RNA-Seq was performed using WT and Mbnl1 KO brain, heart, and muscle (5 mice each). Additionally, C2C12 mouse myoblasts were depleted of Mbnl1, Mbnl2, or both. Subcellular fractionation experiments were performed to analyze mRNA localization following depletion of Mbnl1 and Mbnl2 in C2C12 mouse myoblasts, and following depletion of Mbnl in Drosophila S-2R+ cells. CLIP-Seq was also performed against Mbnl1 in mouse brain, heart, muscle, and C2C12 myoblasts. Finally, ribosome footprinting was performed with C2C12 mouse myoblasts that were depleted of Mbnl1, Mbnl2, or both.

Loss of MBNL Leads to Disruption of Developmentally Regulated Alternative Polyadenylation in RNA-Mediated Disease

Project description:Mapping MBNL-regulated genome-wide alternative polyadenylation: We report that depletion of Mbnl proteins in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs), DM mouse model quadriceps muscle, and DM-autopsy muscle tissue leads to mis-regulation of alternative polyadenylation We compared WT, Mbnl1/2KO, Mbnl1/2KO/3siRNA, and Mbnl1/2KO/scrambled siRNA MEFs (n=2 for each group) to evaluate alternative polyadenylation shifts that occur due to progressive loss of Mbnl proteins. We also compared WT (1 day old, and 4 months old, n=2 each) and HSALR mouse model (4 months old, n=2) of myotonic dystrophy for developmental alternative polyadenylation defects in myotonic dystrophy. Finally, we compared control and DM1 autopsy muscle tissues (n=3) for changes in alternative polyadenylation. We performed HITS-CLIP analysis of binding sites of Mbnl1, Mbnl2 and Mbnl3 in MEFs (n=3 each). We also performed HITS-CLIP analysis for major skeletal muscle Mbnl protein, Mbnl1 in FVB WT adult muscle (4 months, n=3). Finally we performed HITS-CLIP analysis for CPSF6 in WT and Mbnl1/2 KO MEFs (n=3 each) Please note that the 'readme_Table.txt' describes the contents of 'Table S*.xlsx' files, and the readme_method.txt include additional details about experiemenal procedures.

The protein disulfide isomerase AGR2 is essential for the production of intestinal mucus

Project description:Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) aid protein folding and assembly by catalyzing formation and shuffling of cysteine disulfide bonds in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Many members of the PDI family are expressed in mammals but the roles of specific PDIs in vivo are poorly understood. A recent homology-based search for additional PDI family members identified anterior gradient homolog 2 (AGR2), a protein originally presumed to be secreted by intestinal epithelial cells, but the function of AGR2 has been obscure. Here we show that AGR2 is expressed in the ER of secretory cells and is essential for in vivo production of intestinal mucin, a large cysteine-rich glycoprotein that forms the protective mucus gel lining the intestine. A cysteine residue within the AGR2 thioredoxin-like domain forms mixed disulfide bonds with MUC2, consistent with a direct role for AGR2 in mucin processing. Despite a complete absence of intestinal mucin, mice lacking AGR2 appeared healthy but were highly susceptible to dextran sodium sulfate-induced experimental colitis, indicating a critical role for AGR2 in protection from environmental insults. We conclude that AGR2 is a unique member of the PDI family that has a specialized and non-redundant role in intestinal mucus production. Keywords: small intestine and colon gene expression profiles for Agr2-/- and littermate control mice DNA miocroarrays were used to analyze small intenstine and colon mRNA expression of AGR2 KO and littermate control mice. The experiment incorporated a 1 color design and used Agilent arrays that contained roughly 44,00 60mer probes that provide complete coverage of the mouse genome. 12 arrays were hybridized and represent 8 small intestine samples ( 4 each KO and WT) and 4 colon samples (2 each KO and WT)

Disrupted prenatal RNA processing and myogenesis in congenital myotonic dystrophy

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a CTG microsatellite expansion (CTGexp) disorder caused by expression of CUGexp RNAs. These mutant RNAs alter the activities of RNA processing factors, including MBNL proteins, leading to reversion to specific fetal isoforms in adult tissues and DM1 pathology. While this pathogenesis model accounts for adult-onset disease, the molecular basis of congenital DM (CDM) is unknown. Here, we test the hypothesis that disruption of developmentally regulated RNA alternative processing pathways contributes to CDM disease. Analysis of alternative splicing (AS) transitions during human myogenesis reveals hundreds of AS events that undergo prenatal isoform transitions and both AS and alternative polyadenylation abnormalities are prominently detectable in infant CDM muscle biopsies. While the majority of RNA targets are also mis-regulated in adult-onset DM1, splicing dysregulation is significantly more severe in CDM. Since many of these mis-processing events are MBNL-regulated, we generated mouse Mbnl double (Mbnl1; Mbnl2) and triple (Mbnl1; Mbnl2; Mbnl3) muscle-specific knockout models that recapitulate the congenital myopathy, gene expression and spliceopathy defects characteristic of CDM. This study demonstrates RNA mis-processing is a major pathogenic factor in CDM and provides novel mouse models to further examine roles for co/post-transcriptional gene regulation during tissue development.
