Tri-snRNP activity modulates tauopathy phenotypes in C. elegans

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and other tauopathies are neurodegenerative disorders with devastating consequences for cognition and memory. Pathogenic accumulation of tau can be modeled in Caenorhabditis elegans, which recapitulate human neurodegeneration including aging-dependent accumulation of phosphorylated tau, tau aggregation, neuronal dysfunction, and neuron degeneration. Using forward genetic screens to identify genes modulating tau pathology, we identified a single point mutation in dib-1 that ameliorates tau-driven behavioral defects, prevents neurodegeneration, and decreases tau protein levels. The dib-1 gene encodes a small, highly conserved protein, known as TXNL4A in humans, and participates in mRNA splicing via the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP. Notably, heterozygous loss of prp-8, a neighboring protein within the tri-snRNP, also prevents tau-driven neurodegeneration. RNA sequencing of dib-1 mutants demonstrates widespread intron retention consistent with disruption of tri-snRNP functions. Disruption of nonsense-mediated decay further rescues tau-driven phenotypes only in the presence of the dib-1 mutation. TXNL4A levels are decreased in Alzheimer's disease in human frontal cortex, demonstrating the translational relevance of dib-1. Taken together these findings suggest pathological tau impacts splicing function, and spliceosomal activity modulation can ameliorate tauopathy.

SILAC APMS anlysis of TSSC4 interactome

Project description:U5 snRNP is a complex particle essential for RNA splicing. U5 snRNPs undergo an intricate biogenesis that ensures that only a fully mature particle assembles into a splicing competent U4/U6•U5 tri-snRNP and enters the splicing reaction. During splicing, U5 snRNP is substantially rearranged and leaves as a U5/PRPF19 post-splicing particle, which requires re-generation before a next round of splicing. Here, we show that a previously uncharacterized protein TSSC4 is a new component of U5 snRNP that promotes tri-snRNP formation. We provide evidence that TSSC4 associates with U5 snRNP chaperones, U5 snRNP and the U5/PRPF19 particle. Specifically, TSSC4 interacts with U5-specific proteins PRPF8, EFTUD2 and SNRNP200. We also identified TSSC4 domains critical for the interaction with U5 snRNP and the PRPF19 complex, as well as for TSSC4 function in tri-snRNP assembly. TSSC4 emerges as a specific chaperone that acts in U5 snRNP de novo biogenesis as well as post-splicing recycling.

Identification of gene expression and splicing changes upon eye-specific downregulation of tri-snRNP components in Drosophila

Project description:The spliceosome is a dynamic RNA-protein complex that executes pre-mRNA splicing and is composed of five core small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (U1, U2, U4/5/6 snRNP) and >150 additional proteins specific for each snRNP. We report a circadian role for Pre-mRNA Processing factor 4 (PRP4), a conserved component of the spliceosomal U4/U6.U5 triple small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (tri-snRNP) complex. We broadly hypothesized that downregulation of prp4 led to the aberrant splicing of one or many of the core clock transcripts. To identify these splicing events in an unbiased way, we performed RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis. We reasoned that we could have a more targeted approach if we could zoom in on the overlapping splicing changes that would be driven by the knockdown of at least two different tri-snRNP components. Because the pan-neuronal knockdown of all tri-snRNP components tested in our study led to lethality, we decided to utilize an alternative broad driver. For that purpose, we selected a strong eye-specific Glass Multiple Promoter driver (GMR-Gal4). Because most of the signal from head lysates comes directly from the eye tissue and because the core splicing factors are ubiquitously expressed, GMR-specific downregulation of prp4 and prp8 promised to be a viable alternative to the pan-neuronal knockdown. We examined changes in both the total transcript levels and splicing events upon prp4 knockdown in the eye. The overall gene expression seemed to be dramatically influenced by prp4 downregulation (433 DOWN, 310 UP at FDR < 0.05). Despite the fact that PRP4 is a component of the core spliceosome that is required for constitutive exon splicing, we did not detect dramatic effects on global splicing. Only 45 genes exhibited differential alternate splicing upon prp4 downregulation at FDR < 0.05).

Complexome profiling of nuclear lysates from control and USP39-depleted HeLa cells

Project description:RNA splicing and protein degradation systems allow the functional adaptation of the proteome in response to changing cellular contexts. However, the regulatory mechanisms connecting these processes remain poorly understood. Here, we show that impaired spliceosome assembly caused by USP39 deficiency leads to a pathogenic splicing profile characterized by the use of cryptic 5′ splice sites. To explore the interactions of USP39 and the effect of its depletion in HeLa cells, we performed complexome profiling of nuclear lysates. We observed most USP39 stably integrated into the tri-snRNP complex and there is almost no free nuclear protein. More importantly, the relative abundance of tri-snRNP spliceosome complex was impaired in USP39-depleted cells. As previous reports indicated, USP39 is a regulator of tri-snRNP stability and its depletion decreased the levels of assembled U4/U6.U5 complexes.

EAPP is essential for tri-snRNP biogenesis and controls cell fate and tumor growth via the alternative splicing of MDM4

Project description:Precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing is catalyzed by the spliceosome, a highly dynamic machinery with sequentially assembled small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) and splicing factors. Aberrant spliceosome composition and function result in the dysregulation of pre-mRNA alternative splicing, which may cause cellular stresses and diseases such as cancer. Here, we identify a splicing factor, E2F-associated phosphoprotein (EAPP), that directly binds to the U4/U6. U5 tri-snRNP and PRPF19 complex. Notably, the C-terminal “bucket” domain in EAPP composed of several beta-sheets is required for its interaction with the tri-snRNP. EAPP is prominently located at Cajal bodies within the nucleus where it colocalizes with the spliceosome. Loss of EAPP impedes the assembly and homeostasis of the tri-snRNP complex in Cajal bodies and increases the frequency of splicing abnormalities, mostly exon skipping. Moreover, EAPP depletion promotes MDM4 exon 6 skipping, which suppresses cell growth and tumor progression via p53 overactivation. Our study demonstrates a previously uncharacterized function of EAPP in spliceosome regulation and reveals that EAPP-mediated alternative splicing of MDM4 is a critical determinant of cell fate and tumor growth.

Alzheimer’s disease-associated U1 snRNP splicing dysfunction causes neuronal hyperexcitability and cognitive impairment [N40K neuron RNA-seq]

Project description:Recent proteome and transcriptome profiling of Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains reveals RNA splicing dysfunction and U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) pathology containing U1-70K and its N-terminal 40-KDa fragment (N40K). Here we present a causative role of U1 snRNP dysfunction to neurodegeneration in primary neurons and transgenic mice (N40K-Tg), in which N40K expression exerts a dominant-negative effect to downregulate full-length U1-70K. N40K-Tg recapitulates N40K insolubility, neuronal degeneration, cognitive impairment, and erroneous splicing events in synaptic pathways.

Cohesin interacts with a panoply of splicing factors required for cell cycle progression and genomic organization

Project description:The cohesin complex regulates sister chromatid cohesion, chromosome organization, gene expression, and DNA repair. Here we report that endogenous human cohesin interacts with a panoply of splicing factors and RNA binding proteins, including diverse components of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP complex and several splicing factors that are commonly mutated in cancer. The interactions are enhanced during mitosis, and the interacting splicing factors and RNA binding proteins follow the cohesin cycle and prophase pathway of regulated interactions with chromatin. Depletion of cohesin-interacting splicing factors results in stereotyped cell cycle arrests and alterations in genomic organization. These data support the hypothesis that splicing factors and RNA binding proteins control cell cycle progression and genomic organization via regulated interactions with cohesin and chromatin.

The spliceosome factor USP39 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma malignancy through regulating mRNA splicing

Project description:Abnormal alternative splicing (AS) caused by alterations to splicing factors contributes to tumor progression. Nonetheless, the relevant targets and mechanisms remain elusive in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we reported that overexpression of Ubiquitin-specific protease 39 (USP39), a spliceosome component of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP complex, is associated with poor clinical outcomes and proliferative signaling. Functionally, hepatocyte-specific USP39 knockin mice exhibited enhanced hepatocarcinogenesis. In vitro, USP39 promoted HCC cell proliferation and cell cycle progression in a spliceosome-dependent manner. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that USP39 depletion led to comprehensively impaired constitutive splicing and intriguingly, selective AS of hundreds of genes. USP39-mediated splicing switch of KANK2-S to KANK2-L increased the tumorigenic potential of HCC cells through accelerating KANK2 translation. Mechanistically, USP39 modulates exon inclusion/exclusion via interaction with SRSF6 or hnRNPC in a position-dependent manner. These findings highlight a role for USP39 as a splicing regulator in HCC biology and establishing its position-dependent splicing model.

The spliceosome component Usp39 controls B cell development by regulating immunoglobulin gene rearrangement

Project description:The spliceosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for pre-mRNA splicing and genome stability maintenance. Disruption of the spliceosome activity may lead to developmental disorders and tumorigenesis. However, the physiological role that the spliceosome plays in B cell development and function is still poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that ubiquitin-specific peptidase 39 (Usp39), a spliceosome component of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP complex, is essential for B cell development. Ablation of Usp39 in B cell lineage blocks pre-pro-B to pro-B cell transition in the bone marrow, leading to a profound reduction of mature B cells in the periphery. We show that Usp39 specifically regulates immunoglobulin gene rearrangement in a spliceosome-dependent manner, which involves modulating chromatin interactions at the Igh locus. Moreover, our results indicate that Usp39-deletion reduces the pre-malignant B cells in Eμ-Myc transgenic mice and significantly improves their survival.

TREM2-independent microgliosis promotes tau-mediated neurodegeneration in the presence of ApoE4

Project description:In addition to tau and Aβ pathologies, inflammation plays an important role in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Variants in APOE and TREM2 increase AD risk. ApoE4 exacerbates tau-linked neurodegeneration and inflammation in P301S tau mice and removal of microglia blocks tau-dependent neurodegeneration. Microglia adopt a heterogeneous population of transcriptomic states in response to pathology, at least some of which are dependent on TREM2. Previously, we reported that knockout (KO) of TREM2 attenuated neurodegeneration in P301S mice that express mouse Apoe. Because of the possible common pathway of ApoE and TREM2 in AD, we tested whether TREM2 KO (T2KO) would block neurodegeneration in P301S Tau mice expressing ApoE4 (TE4), similar to that observed with microglial depletion. Surprisingly, we observed exacerbated neurodegeneration and tau pathology in TE4-T2KO versus TE4 mice, despite decreased TREM2-dependent microgliosis. Our results suggest that tau pathology-dependent microgliosis, that is, TREM2-independent microgliosis, facilitates tau-mediated neurodegeneration in the presence of ApoE4.
