An Optimised Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP) Protocol for Low-Abundance Drosophila tissues

ABSTRACT: Localised protein translation, from subcellular localised mRNAs, has emerged as an important process of spatially-restricted cellular changes. This is especially important in cells with extremely elaborated architectures such as neurons. We present a highly sensitive TRAP protocol optimised for the specific isolation of ribosome-bound mRNAs in Drosophila from limited input samples, which enabled the isolation of axonal mRNAs from larval and adult (leg) motor neurons. RNA-seq revealed a set of axonally translated transcripts, including mRNAs encoding multiple ribosomal and mitochondrial proteins. Notably, these are among the types of transcripts found in axons of other species, indicating that axonal translation is conserved in Drosophila. Our optimised low-input TRAP method will allow the study of local translation to be explored in conjunction with Drosophila genetic manipulations, facilitating in-depth investigation of axonal translation across genetic backgrounds, developmental stages, and experimental conditions such as models of human disease. Moreover, it can be used for rare or genetically challenging genotypes and can be adapted to other tissues and model systems that may benefit from a sensitive TRAP protocol.

The dynamic translatome of retinal ganglion cell axons during assembly and maintenance of the mouse visual system

Project description:Local mRNA translation mediates the adaptive responses of axons to extrinsic signals but direct evidence that it occurs in mammalian CNS axons in vivo is scant. We developed an axon-TRAP-RiboTag approach in mouse that allows deep-sequencing analysis of ribosome-bound mRNAs in the retinal ganglion cell axons of the developing and adult retinotectal projection in vivo. The embryonic-to-postnatal axonal translatome comprises an evolving subset of enriched genes with axon-specific roles suggesting distinct steps in axon wiring, such as elongation, pruning and synaptogenesis. Adult axons, remarkably, have a complex translatome with strong links to axon survival, neurotransmission and neurodegenerative disease. Translationally co-regulated mRNA subsets share common upstream regulators, and novel sequence elements generated by alternative splicing that promote axonal mRNA translation. Our results indicate that intricate regulation of compartment-specific mRNA translation in mammalian CNS axons supports the formation and maintenance of neural circuits in vivo.

Axonal ER tubules control local translation via P180/RRBP1-mediated ribosome interactions

Project description:Local mRNA translation in axons is critical for the spatial and temporal regulation of the axonal proteome. A wide variety of mRNAs are localized and translated in axons, however how protein synthesis is regulated at specific subcellular sites in axons remains unclear. Here, we establish that the axonal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) supports axonal translation in developing neurons. Axonal ER tubule disruption impairs local translation and ribosome distribution. Using nanoscale resolution imaging, we find that ribosomes make frequent contacts with axonal ER tubules in a translation-dependent manner and are influenced by specific extrinsic cues. We identify P180/RRBP1 as an axonally distributed ribosome receptor that regulates local translation and binds to mRNAs enriched for axonal membrane proteins. Importantly, the impairment of axonal ER – ribosome interactions causes defects in axon morphology. Our results establish an important role for the axonal ER in dynamically localizing mRNA translation which is important for proper neuron development.

Global transcriptome analysis reveals differences between embryonic and adult dorsal root ganglion axonal mRNAs that are implicated in axonal growth and pain

Project description:Local protein synthesis in sensory neuron axons is necessary for axonal regeneration with the efficiency of regeneration decreasing with age. Because the full repertoire of transcripts in embryonic and adult rat sensory axons is unknown we asked how the pool of mRNAs dynamically changes during ageing. We isolated mRNA from pure axons and growth cones devoid of non-neuronal or cell body contamination. Genome-wide microarray analysis reveals that a previously unappreciated number of transcripts are localised in sensory axons and that this repertoire changes during development toward adulthood. Embryonic sensory axons are enriched in transcripts encoding cytoskeletal-related proteins with a role in axonal outgrowth. Surprisingly, adult axons are highly enriched in mRNAs encoding immune molecules with a role in nociception. To validate our experimental approach we show that Tubulin-beta3 mRNA is present only in embryonic axons where it is locally synthesised. In summary, we show that the population of axonal mRNAs dynamically changes during development, which may partly contribute to the intrinsic capacity of axons at different ages to regenerate after injury and to modulate pain. Pure axonal RNA were extracted from the axons of embryonic and adult dorsal root ganglion neurons, each with 5 biological replicates. The axonal transcriptomes were analysed using Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Arrays.

An optimized FAIRE procedure for low cell numbers in yeast.

Project description:We report an optimised low-input FAIRE-seq (Formaldehyde-Assisted Isolation of Regulatory Elements) procedure to assay chromatin accessibility from yeast colonies. Sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility of the scaled-down method are comparable to that of regular, higher input amounts, assayed over a 100-fold range. The method enables epigenetic analysis of chromatin structure to be assayed without the need for liquid culture, thus opening the possibility to study wild yeasts that form colonies, or those can be isolated in sufficient amounts in situ, from environmental samples.

Axonal mRNA in human embryonic stem cell derived neurons

Project description:The identification of axonal mRNAs in model organisms has led to the discovery of many axonally translated proteins required for axon guidance and injury response. The extent to which these axonal mRNAs are conserved in humans is unknown. Here we report on the axonal transcriptome of glutamatergic neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESC-neurons) grown in axon isolating microfluidic chambers. We identified mRNAs enriched in axons, representing a functionally unique local transcriptome as compared to the whole neuron transcriptome. Further, we found that the enriched functional categories within high confidence axonal transcripts resemble those in the axonal transcriptome of rat cortical neurons. Comparing our list of human axonal transcripts to similar datasets generated from embryonic and adult rat dorsal root ganglia and rat cortical neurons we found 60 mRNAs common to all four neuron types. We found that over half of these genes are associated with neurological phenotypes or diseases in model organisms and human. This data provides an important resource for studying local mRNA translation in human axons and has the potential to reveal both conserved and unique axonal mechanisms across species and neuronal types. We analyzed the axonal and whole hESC-neuron transcriptome in triplicate using the Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0 ST Array platform.

TDP-43 Interactor and Motor Neuron Tagged Ribosome Affinity Purification in a Drosophila Model of ALS

Project description:We report the enrichment of mRNAs with motor neuron specific TDP-43 and tagged ribosomes in control as well as multiple models of TDP-43 induced neurodegeneration. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease in which 97% of patients exhibit cytoplasmic aggregates containing the RNA binding protein TDP-43. The goal of this study is to understand the translational consequences of TDP-43 pathology. Using the GAL4-UAS system, we expressed TDP-43WT and TDP-43G298S in the motor neurons of our drosophila to induce ALS-like neurodegeneration. TDP-43 was immunoprecipitated from the larvae at the 3rd instar stage; TDP-43 associated mRNAs, the whole larvae input, and ventral nerve cords of the same genotype were then sequenced. To identify translational changes we conducted TRAP (translating ribosome affinity purifications) in 3rd instar larvae by immunoprecipitating the motor neuron specific tagged ribosomal subunit RpL10-GFP in both ALS models as well as a RpL10-GFP control. The RpL10-GFP associated mRNAs, the whole larval input, and ventral nerve cords of the same genotype. From this data, we identified both compensatory alterations to translation induced by TDP-43 pathology and direct targets of TDP-43 mediated translational inhibition.

mRNA transport, translation, and decay in adult mammalian central nervous system axons

Project description:Localized mRNA translation regulates synapse function and axon maintenance, but how compartment-specific mRNA repertoires are regulated is largely unknown. We developed an axonal transcriptome capture method that allows deep sequencing of metabolically-labeled mRNAs from retinal ganglion cell axon terminals in mouse. Comparing axonal-to-somal transcriptomes and axonal translatome-to-transcriptome enables genome-wide visualization of mRNA transport and translation and unveils potential regulators tuned to each process. FMRP and TDP-43 stand out as key regulators of transport, and experiments in Fmr1 knock-out mice validate FMRP’s role in the axonal transportation of synapse-related mRNAs. Pulse-and-chase experiments enable genome-wide assessment of mRNA stability in axons and reveal a strong coupling between mRNA translation and decay. Measuring the absolute mRNA abundance per axon terminal shows that the axonal transcriptome is stably maintained in adulthood by persistent transport. Our datasets provide a rich resource for unique insights into RNA-based mechanisms in maintaining presynaptic structure and function in vivo.

TRAP-seq of mouse astrocytes involved in central nervous system remyelination

Project description:Remyelination failure contributes to axonal dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders. But whether astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell type in demyelinated lesions, support or impede remyelination is controversial. Following focal demyelinated lesions of the mouse corpus callosum induced with the myelin toxin lysolecithin, we used TRAP (translational ribosome affinity purification) sequencing to isolate and sequence ribosome-associated mRNAs which are being actively translated in astrocytes, and studied how the responses and molecular mechanisms in astrocytes are linked to remyelination.
