The SPN-4 Rbfox RNA-binding protein selects maternal mRNAs for CCR4-NOT-dependent clearance in C. elegans embryos

ABSTRACT: The elimination of many maternal mRNAs is an essential feature of the maternal-to-zygotic transition. We report an essential pathway that clears many maternal transcripts from early C. elegans embryos using the RbFox-related SPN-4 RNA-binding protein as a specificity factor and the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex as an effector. We biochemically identified SPN-4-associated mRNAs from late-stage oocytes and found that the set of SPN-4-associated transcripts is enriched for maternal mRNAs that undergo early decay. Single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization experiments established that many SPN-4-associated mRNAs fail to be eliminated in the absence of SPN-4. In the 3’UTRs of two target mRNAs, we identified RbFox motifs that bind SPN-4 in vitro and are required for SPN-4-dependent clearance in vivo. In a genetic screen to identify factors that work with SPN-4, we isolated alleles of CCR4-NOT components. Auxin-induced degradation of the LET-711/NOT1 scaffold and the CCF-1 deadenylase disrupted clearance of two SPN-4-associated transcripts. Our results support a model in which SPN-4 initiates expression in late-stage oocytes, associates with maternal mRNA targets through RNA sequences in their 3’UTRs and promotes CCR4-NOT-mediated decay during early embryogenesis.

The CCR4-NOT complex suppresses untimely translational activation of maternal mRNAs.

Project description:Control of mRNA poly(A) tail has central role to regulate mRNA metabolism: translation efficiency and mRNA stability. Gene expression in maturing oocytes largely relies on the regulation of mRNA metabolism as they are transcriptionally silent. The CCR4-NOT complex is a major deadenylase for mammals and regulates poly(A) tails of maternal mRNAs, however their function to translational regulation was not well understood. Here we show that CCR4-NOT suppresses translational activity of maternal mRNAs during oocyte maturation. Oocytes which lack entire deadenylase activity of CCR4-NOT by genetic deletion of its catalytic subunits: CNOT7 and CNOT8 showed increase of both expression of maternal mRNAs and translational activity of them during oocyte maturation.

Genome-wide mapping of decay factor-mRNA interactions in yeast identifies nutrient responsive transcripts as targets of the deadenylase Ccr4

Project description:The Ccr4-Not complex is a major regulator of stress responses that controls gene expression at multiple levels, from transcription to mRNA decay. Ccr4, a core subunit of the complex, is the main cytoplasmic deadenylase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, however its mRNA targets have not been mapped on a genome-wide scale. Here we describe a genome-wide approach, RNA immunoprecipitation-high throughput sequencing (RIP-seq), to identify the RNAs bound to Ccr4, and two proteins that associate with it, Dhh1 and Puf5. All three proteins were preferentially bound to lowly abundant mRNAs, most often at the 3’ end of the transcript. Furthermore, Ccr4, Dhh1 and Puf5 are recruited to mRNAs that are targeted by other RNA-binding proteins that promote decay, mRNA transport and inhibit translation. Although Ccr4-Not regulates mRNA transcription and decay, Ccr4 recruitment to mRNAs correlates better with decay rates, suggesting it imparts greater control over transcript abundance through decay. Ccr4-enriched mRNAs are refractory to control by the other deadenylase complex in yeast, Pan2/3, suggesting a division of labor between these deadenylation complexes. Finally, Ccr4 and Dhh1 associate with mRNAs whose abundance increases during nutrient starvation and those that fluctuate during metabolic and oxygen consumption cycles, which explains the known genetic connections between these factors and nutrient utilization and stress pathways.

LSM14B is essential for oocyte meiotic maturation by regulating maternal mRNA storage and clearance

Project description:Fully grown oocytes remain transcriptionally quiescent, yet many maternal mRNAs are synthesized and retained in growing oocytes. We now know that maternal mRNAs are stored in a structure called the mitochondria associated ribonucleoprotein domain (MARDO). But the components and functions of MARDO remain elusive. Here, we found that LSM14B knockout prevents the proper storage and timely clearance of mRNAs (including Cyclin B1, Btg4, and other mRNAs that are translationally activated during meiotic maturation), specifically by disrupting MARDO assembly during oocyte growth and meiotic maturation. With decreased levels of storage and clearance, the LSM14B knockout oocytes failed to enter meiosis II, ultimately resulting in female infertility. Our results demonstrate the function of LSM14B in MARDO assembly, couple the MARDO with mRNA clearance and oocyte meiotic maturation

Codon usage and 3â² UTR length determine maternal mRNA stability in zebrafish

Project description:The control of mRNA stability plays a central role in regulating gene expression. In metazoans, the earliest stages of development are driven by maternally supplied mRNAs. The degradation of these maternal mRNAs is critical for promoting the maternal-to-zygotic transition of developmental programs, although the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood in vertebrates. Here, we characterized maternal mRNA degradation pathways in zebrafish using a transcriptome analysis and systematic reporter assays. Our data demonstrate that ORFs enriched with uncommon codons promote deadenylation by the CCR4-NOT complex in a translation-dependent manner. This codon-mediated mRNA decay is conditional on the context of the 3â² UTR, with long 3â² UTRs conferring resistance to deadenylation. These results indicate that the combined effect of codon usage and 3â² UTR length determines the stability of maternal mRNAs in zebrafish embryos. Our study thus highlights the codon-mediated mRNA decay as a conserved regulatory mechanism in eukaryotes. zebrafish embryonic mRNA profile at 2 different stages (2 hpf and 6 hpf) in wildtype and 3 additional conditions (miR-430 inhibition, RNApol II inhibition and CNOT7 inhibition) at 6 hpf.

Mechanism of ribosome-associated mRNA degradation during tubulin autoregulation

Project description:Microtubules play crucial roles in cellular architecture, intracellular transport, and mitosis. The availability of free tubulin subunits impacts polymerization dynamics and microtubule function. When cells sense excess free tubulin, they trigger degradation of the encoding mRNAs, which requires recognition of the nascent polypeptide by the tubulin-specific ribosome-binding factor TTC5. How TTC5 initiates decay of tubulin mRNAs is unknown. Here, our biochemical and structural analysis reveals that TTC5 recruits the poorly studied protein SCAPER to the ribosome. SCAPER in turn engages the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex through its CNOT11 subunit to trigger tubulin mRNA decay. SCAPER mutants that cause intellectual disability and retinitis pigmentosa in humans are impaired in CCR4-NOT recruitment, tubulin mRNA degradation, and microtubule-dependent chromosome segregation. Our findings demonstrate how recognition of a nascent polypeptide on the ribosome is physically linked to mRNA decay factors via a relay of protein-protein interactions, providing a paradigm for specificity in cytoplasmic gene regulation.

Mammalian oocytes store mRNAs in a mitochondria-associated membraneless compartment

Project description:Fully-grown oocytes are transcriptionally silent and must stably maintain mRNAs needed for oocyte meiotic maturation and early embryonic development. However, where and how mammalian oocytes store maternal mRNAs is unclear. Here, we report that mammalian oocytes accumulate mRNAs in a mitochondria-associated ribonucleoprotein domain (MARDO). MARDO assembly around mitochondria was promoted by the RNA-binding protein ZAR1, and directed by an increase in mitochondrial membrane potential during oocyte growth. MARDO foci coalesced into hydrogel-like matrices that clustered mitochondria. Maternal mRNAs stored in the MARDO were translationally repressed. Loss of ZAR1 disrupted the MARDO, dispersed mitochondria, and caused a premature loss of MARDO-localized mRNAs. Thus, a mitochondria-associated membraneless compartment controls mitochondrial distribution and regulates maternal mRNA storage, translation and decay to ensure fertility in mammals.

Expression data from the liver of wild-type and Cnot3+/- mice: Fed vs Fasted

Project description:Decay of mRNAs initiates with shortening of the poly(A) tail. Although the CCR4-NOT complex participates in deadenylation, how it becomes activates remain obscure. We show that complete deficiency in CNOT3, subunit 3 of this complex, is lethal in mice, but that heterozygotes survive as lean mice with hepatic and adipose tissues containing reduced lipid levels. Cnot3+/- mice have enhanced metabolic rates and remain lean on high-fat diets. We further provide evidence suggesting that CNOT3, by changing its level in response to feeding conditions, affects the activity of the CCR4-NOT deadenylase against poly(A) tails of specific mRNAs coding for proteins involved in metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. Because the levels of CNOT3 protein were decreased under fasting conditions and increased upon refeeding and because CNOT3 could be a positive regulator of the CCR4-NOT deadenylase, we hypothesized that the levels of CCR4-NOT target mRNAs would be lower in fed mice than in fasted mice. We compared the gene expression profiles of fed and fasted wild-type mice. Microarray analysis revealed that approximately 1,200 mRNA transcripts were down-regulated in the livers of fed mice. Of these mRNAs, 68 corresponded to the genes up-regulated in the livers of Cnot3+/- mice and fasted wild-type mice. A large number of the 68 identified genes encoded proteins involved in metabolism, especially lipid metabolism and growth. The livers were isolated from 8-week-old fed wild-type, fasted wild-type and fasted Cnot3+/- mice (n = 2 for each genotype).
