High-throughput mapping of modular regulatory domains in human RNA-binding proteins

ABSTRACT: RNA regulation plays an integral role in tuning gene expression and is controlled by thousands of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). While some RBPs require most of their sequence to accomplish their functions, some examples exist of modularity: small protein domains that serve as molecular glues to recruit larger RNA regulatory complexes. Mapping these RNA-regulatory effector domains is important for understanding RBP function and for developing compact synthetic tools for precisely tuning RNA levels. We developed a high-throughput recruitment assay (HT-RNA-Recruit) to identify RNA-down-regulatory effector domains within human RBPs. By recruiting over 30,000 protein tiles from 367 RBPs to a reporter mRNA, we discovered over 100 unique RNA-down-regulatory effector domains in 86 distinct RBPs. We identified some domains that downregulate gene expression both when recruited to DNA and RNA, and dissected their mechanisms of regulation. Finally, we built inducible synthetic RNA regulators that can target endogenous RNAs or stably maintain reporter gene expression at desired levels, and developed a mathematical model to predict their dynamics. This work serves as a resource for human RNA regulators and expands the synthetic repertoire of RNA-based genetic control tools.

High-throughput functional characterization of combinations of transcriptional activators and repressors II

Project description:Despite growing knowledge of the functions of individual human transcriptional effector domains, much less is understood about how multiple effector domains within the same protein combine to regulate gene expression. Here, we measure transcriptional activity for 8,400 effector domain combinations by recruiting them to reporter genes in human cells. In our assay, weak and moderate activation domains synergize to drive strong gene expression, while combining strong activators often results in weaker activation. In contrast, repressors combine linearly and produce full gene silencing, and repressor domains often overpower activation domains. We use this information to build a synthetic transcription factor whose function can be tuned between repression and activation independent of recruitment to target genes by using a small molecule drug. Altogether, we outline the basic principles of how effector domains combine to regulate gene expression and demonstrate their value in building precise and flexible synthetic biology tools.

Synthetic 5’ UTRs can either up- or down-regulate expression upon RBP binding

Project description:The construction of complex gene regulatory networks requires both inhibitory and up-regulatory modules. However, the vast majority of RNA-based regulatory “parts” are inhibitory. Using a synthetic biology approach combined with SHAPE-Seq, we explored the regulatory effect of RBP-RNA interactions in bacterial 5’-UTRs. By positioning a library of RNA hairpins upstream of a reporter gene and co-expressing them with the matching RBP, we observed a set of regulatory responses, including translational stimulation, translational repression, and cooperative behavior. Our combined approach revealed three distinct states in-vivo: in the absence of RBPs, the RNA molecules can be found either in a molten state that is amenable to translation, or a structured phase that inhibits translation. In the presence of RBPs, the RNA molecules are in a semi-structured phase with partial translational capacity. Our work provides new insight into RBP-based regulation and a blueprint for designing complete gene regulatory circuits at the post-transcriptional level.

Systematic identification of RNA-binding proteins and tethered domains that activate exon splicing inclusion [RNA-seq]

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) modulate alternative splicing outcomes to determine isoform expression and cellular survival. To identify RBPs that directly drive alternative exon inclusion, we evaluated 718 human RBPs with tethered function luciferase-based splicing reporter assays to identify 58 candidates, including known splicing factors such as RBFOX and serine-arginine proteins. We performed enhanced CLIP, RNA-seq, and affinity purification-mass spectrometry to investigate a subset of the 11 candidates with no prior association with splicing. Integrative analysis of these assays indicated the surprising roles of TRNAU1AP, SCAF8, and RTCA in modulating hundreds of endogenous splicing events. We also leveraged our tethering assays and top candidates to identify potent and compact exon inclusion activation domains for splicing modulation applications. Using identified domains, we engineered programmable fusion proteins which outperformed current artificial splicing factors at manipulating inclusion of reporter and endogenous exons. Altogether, our tethering approach characterized the ability of RBPs to induce exon inclusion and yielded new molecular parts for programmable splicing control.

RNA-Binding Protein targets in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:The vast landscape of RNA-protein interactions at the heart of post-transcriptional regulation remains largely unexplored. Indeed it is likely that, even in yeast, a substantial fraction of the regulatory RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) remain to be discovered. Systematic experimental methods can play a key role in discovering these RBPs - most of the known yeast RBPs lack RNA-binding domains that might enable this activity to be predicted. We describe here a new proteome-wide approach to identify RNA-protein interactions based on in vitro binding of RNA samples to yeast protein microarrays that represent over 80% of the yeast proteome. We used this procedure to screen for novel RBPs and RNA-protein interactions. A complementary mass spectrometry technique also identified proteins that associate with yeast mRNAs. Both the protein microarray and mass spectrometry methods successfully identify previously annotated RBPs, suggesting that other proteins identified in these assays might be novel RBPs. Of 35 putative novel RBPs identified by either or both of these methods, 12, including 75% of the eight most highly-ranked candidates, reproducibly associated with specific cellular RNAs. Surprisingly, most of the 12 newly discovered RBPs were enzymes. Functional characteristics of the RNA targets of some of the novel RBPs suggest coordinated post-transcriptional regulation of subunits of protein complexes and a possible link between mRNA trafficking and vesicle transport. Our results suggest that many more RBPs still remain to be identified and provide a set of candidates for further investigation.

Regulation by the RNA-binding protein Unkempt at its effector interface

Project description:How RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) convey regulatory instructions to the core effectors of RNA processing is unclear. Here we document the existence and functions of a multivalent RBP–effector interface. We show that the effector interface of a conserved RBP with an essential role in metazoan development, Unkempt, is mediated by a novel type of ‘dual-purpose’ peptide motifs that can contact two different surfaces of interacting proteins. Unexpectedly, we find that the multivalent contacts do not merely serve effector recruitment but are required for the accuracy of RNA recognition by Unkempt. Systems analyses reveal that multivalent RBP–effector contacts can repurpose the principal activity of an effector for a different function, as we demonstrate for reuse of the central eukaryotic mRNA decay factor CCR4-NOT in translational control. Our study establishes the molecular assembly and functional principles of an RBP–effector interface.

RNA binding proteins modification by drought stress

Project description:RNA-binding proteins are increasingly recognized as regulatory component of post-transcriptional gene expression. RBPs interact with mRNAs via RNA-binding domains and these interactions affect RNA availability for translation, RNA stability and turn-over thus affecting both RNA and protein expression essential for developmental and stimulus specific responses. Here we investigate the effect of severe drought stress on the RNA-binding proteome to gain insights into the mechanisms that govern drought stress responses at the systems level
