Human CCR4-NOT is a global regulator of gene expression and is a novel silencer of retrotransposon activation [TT-seq]

ABSTRACT: CCR4-NOT regulates multiple steps in gene regulation, including transcription, mRNA decay, protein ubiquitylation, and translation. It has been well studied in budding yeast; however, relatively less is known about its regulation and functions in mammals. To characterize the functions of the human CCR4-NOT complex, we developed a rapid auxin-induced degron system to deplete CNOT1 (the scaffold of the complex) and CNOT4 (E3 ubiquitin ligase) in cell culture. To investigate the role of CCR4-NOT in transcription, we used transient transcriptome sequencing (TT-seq) to measure ongoing RNA synthesis. Depletion of either subunit resulted in increased RNA synthesis of several thousand genes. In contrast to most of the genome, a rapid reduction in the synthesis of KRAB-Zinc-Finger-proteins (KZNFs) genes, especially those clustered on chromosome 19, was observed. KZNFs are transcriptional repressors of retro-transposable elements (rTEs), and consistent with the decreased KZNFs expression, we observed a significant and rapid activation of rTEs, mainly Long interspersed Nuclear Elements (LINEs). Our data reveal that CCR4-NOT regulates gene expression and silences retrotransposons across the genome by maintaining KZNF expression. These data establish CCR4-NOT as a global regulator of gene expression, and we have identified a novel mammalian-specific function of the complex, the suppression of rTEs.

Auxin-induced depletion of human CCR4-NOT subunits reveals opposing functions of CNOT1 and CNOT4 in mRNA metabolism

Project description:CCR4-NOT regulates multiple steps in gene regulation, including transcription, mRNA decay, protein ubiquitylation, and translation. Originally discovered in yeast, this complex is highly conserved across eukaryotes, although its composition and functions differ between mammals and yeast. For example, unlike yeast Not4, human CNOT4 (E3 Ubiquitin Ligase) does not form a stable complex with CCR4-NOT, and its functions are less clear compared to its yeast counterpart. To investigate the roles of CNOT1 (the central scaffold subunit) and CNOT4, we developed a rapid auxin-induced degron cell culture system that allows for the acute depletion of these proteins. We studied the effects of their absence on complex integrity, cell growth, and mRNA expression and turnover. Our transcriptome-wide analysis revealed that depleting CNOT1 altered the expression of thousands of transcripts, with the majority showing increased abundance and a general decrease in mRNA decay. Although CNOT4 does not associate with the complex through standard biochemical methods, BioID proximity labelling confirmed its association with the complex in cells. However, depleting CNOT4 did not affect the integrity of CCR4-NOT. In contrast to the effects observed with CNOT1 depletion, reducing CNOT4 levels led to only modest changes in RNA steady-state levels and unexpectedly accelerated global mRNA decay. Finally, we show that the changes in mRNA stability in CCR4-NOT-depleted cells correlated with the codon optimality of the transcripts. Our data suggest that CNOT4 exerts opposite effects on mRNA metabolism compared to CNOT1, and that CNOT4 may have functions distinct from those of complex subunits that promote mRNA degradation.

The CNOT4 Subunit of the CCR4-NOT Complex is Involved in mRNA Degradation, Efficient DNA Damage Repair, and XY Chromosome Crossover during Male Germ Cell Meiosis

Project description:The CCR4-NOT complex is a major mRNA deadenylase in eukaryotes and comprise CNOT6/6L and CNOT7/8, both of which are two types of catalytic subunits, as well as CNOT4, which is a regulatory subunit with previously undetermined functions. These subunits are previously hypothesized to play synergistic biochemical functions; however, their in vivo functions have remained poorly investigated. In this study, we constructed viable Cnot6/6l double knockout mice and the males were fertile, whereas Cnot7–/– male mice have been reported to be infertile. These results are against canonical viewpoints and indicate that CNOT7 has CNOT6/6L-independent functions in vivo. We also demonstrate that the mouse testis has an endogenous complex that contains CNOT7 and CNOT4, but not CNOT6/6L. CNOT4 is required for post-implantation embryo development and meiosis progression during spermatogenesis. Selective knockout of Cnot4 in male germ cells leads to defective DNA damage repair and homologous crossover formation between X and Y chromosomes in a cell autonomous manner. CNOT4 functions as a previously unrecognized mRNA adaptor of CCR4-NOT by targeting mRNAs to CNOT7 for deadenylation of the poly(A) tails, thereby mediating the degradation of a subset of transcripts from the zygotene to pachytene stage. Therefore, the mRNA removal promoted by CNOT4-regulated CCR4-NOT complex during the zygotene to pachytene transition is crucial for the selection of DNA repair pathways, subsequent activation of meiosis-related genes, sex chromosome paring, and ultimately, male fertility.

The CCR4-NOT complex contributes to repression of Major Histocompatibility Complex class II transcription

Project description:The multi-subunit CCR4 (carbon catabolite repressor 4)-NOT (Negative on TATA) complex serves as a central coordinator of all different steps of eukaryotic gene expression. Accordingly, members of the CCR4-NOT complex have been implicated in a variety of biological functions. Here we performed a systematic and comparative analysis of cells where the CCR4-NOT subunits CNOT1, CNOT2 or CNOT3 were individually downregulated using doxycycline-inducible shRNAs. Microarray experiments showed that downregulation of either CNOT subunit resulted in elevated expression of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) target genes which are found in a gene cluster on chromosome 6. Increased expression of MHC II genes after knock-down or knock-out of CNOT subunits was seen in a variety of cell systems and also in naïve macrophages from CNOT3 conditional knock-out mice. CNOT2-mediated repression of MHC II genes occurred independent from the master regulator class II transactivator (CIITA) and detectable changes of the chromatin structure at the chromosomal MHC II locus. CNOT2 downregulation resulted in an increased de novo transcription of mRNAs and tethering of CNOT2 to a regulatory region governing MHC II expression resulted in dimished transcription. These results expand the known repertoire of CCR4-NOT members for immune regulation and identify CNOT proteins as a novel group of corepressors serving to restrict inappropriate or exaggerated class II expression, which can be causative for various diseases.

Identification of Ccr4-Not complex as a regulator of transition from partial to genuine iPS cells

Project description:Partial induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs) are cell lines strayed from normal route from somatic cells to iPSCs and are immortalized. Mouse partial iPSCs are able to convert to real iPSCs by the exposure to 2i condition using MAPK and GSK3? inhibitors. However, the molecular mechanisms of this conversion are totally not known. Our piggyback vector mediated genome-wide screen revealed that Cnot2, one of core components of Ccr4-Not complex participates in this conversion. Subsequent analyses revealed other core components, i.e., Cnot1 and Cnot3 and Trim28 which is known to extensively share genomic binding sites with Cnot3 contribute to this conversion as well. Our bioinformatics analyses indicate that the major role of these factors in the conversion is the down-regulation of developmental genes in partial iPSCs. Two partial iPSC clones (2B1 and 5C5) cultured under conventional culture condition with leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and serum and those converted to iPSCs by the exposure to 2i condition were used for RNA source. Partial iPSCs (2B1) cultured under conventional condition in which either one of Cnot1, Cnot2, Cnot3 and Trim28 cDNA or these factors were combinatorially incorporated after retrovirus infection and those in which empty vector or Nanog were stably integrated were also used for RNA source. In addition, embryonic fibroblasts and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from 13.5 dpc embryos and blastocysts, respectively, from Nanog-GFP transgenic mice and wild-type ESC line (EBRTcH3) were used for RNA source.

CDS composition drives differential regulation of mRNA fate by the Ccr4-Not complex

Project description:Regulation of protein output at the level of translation allows for a swift response to dynamic changes in the requirements of the cell. This is achieved by a complex set of biochemical processes that regulate protein synthesis and mRNA stability. A major factor coordinating this regulation is the Ccr4-Not complex. Despite playing a role in most stages of the mRNA life cycle, no attempt has been made to take a global integrated view of how the Ccr4-Not complex affects gene expression.
