Project description:Circular RNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs mostly generated by back-splicing RNA transcripts of protein-coding gene loci. In difference to canoncial splicing, back-splicing ligates downstream splice donor site with an upstream splice acceptor generating a covalently closed circular RNA. CircRNAs have been reported to influence cellular functions by acting as miRNA sponges, regulation of host gene transcription or by protein interactions. The circRNA cZNF292 has been previously reported to be regulated under hypoxia and to influence endothelial cell angiogenesis and functions. The present data set aims to identfy protein interactions partners of cZNF292 in endothelial cells to further characterize the mechanism of action of cZNF292. Dataset comprises 8 replicates of proteins identified after biotin-based 2'O-Me RNA antisense affinity purification of the circRNA cZNF292 from HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cell) lysates compared to a control probe dataset. Purification was performed without cross-linking under low salt and mild detergent conditions.

Project description:Although circRNA abnormalities are found in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) postmortem brains, whether and how altered circRNA landscape lead to pathological gene network changes during AD progression remain undefined. Employing our recently published experimental and computational approaches, we found genome-wide dysregulated circRNA expression and disrupted functional cooperation of circRNAs in sponging microRNAs (miRNAs) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) during early pathogenic progression in a mouse AD model. In addition, we identified AD progression-associated mouse circRNAs that are conserved and affected in AD patients, which underlie malfunction of downstream microRNAs and RBPs in AD brains. An exemplar circRNA is circGigyf2, which progressively declines along with AD pathogenic severity. Furthermore, we identified AD pathological pathways centered on circGigyf2, including upstream RBPs that control circGigyf2 biogenesis and downstream miRNA-mRNA and RBP-mRNA axis regulated by circGigyf2, all affected in AD patients. Our discoveries provide strong evidence suggesting the contribution of circRNA abnormality in early AD pathogenesis.

Project description:The control of RNA alternative splicing is critical for generating biological diversity. Despite emerging genome-wide technologies to study RNA complexity, reliable and comprehensive RNA-regulatory networks have not been defined. Here we used Bayesian networks to probabilistically model diverse datasets and predict the target networks of specific regulators. We applied this strategy to identify ~700 alternative splicing events directly regulated by the neuron-specific factor Nova in the mouse brain, integrating RNA-binding data, splicing microarray data, Nova-binding motifs, and evolutionary signatures. The resulting integrative network revealed combinatorial regulation by Nova and the neuronal splicing factor Fox, interplay between phosphorylation and splicing, and potential links to neurologic disease. Thus we have developed a general approach to understanding mammalian RNA regulation at the systems level. RNA from the whole brain or spinal cord of 4 wild type and 4 Nova1/2 double KO (dKO) E18.5 CD1 mice. One array per biological replicate.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a noncoding RNA class originating from alternative splicing, are highly abundant in neural tissues and were shown to regulate gene expression e.g. by interacting with microRNAs and RNA-binding proteins. Neuroblastoma is an embryonal neoplasia, which arises from undifferentiated neural crest cells. Here, we aimed to explore, whether circRNAs influence the pathogenesis of high-risk neuroblastoma. We performed whole-transcriptome sequencing of 104 primary neuroblastoma samples of all risk-groups and identified 5,203 unique circRNAs involving 2,302 genes. Candidate circRNA expression did not correlate with host gene expression, indicating independent regulatory mechanisms. circRNAs were significantly downregulated in the MYCN-amplified high-risk tumors. These findings were independently reproduced in a tetracycline-inducible MYCN-overexpression system based on a non MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cell line, suggesting that MYCN drives this global circRNA repression. We identified the RNA helicase DHX9 as a mediator of this global suppressive effect of MYCN on circRNAs. Comparing our RNA sequencing data with other cancers and controls revealed a circRNA subset specifically upregulated in neuroblastoma that included a circRNA derived from the ARID1A tumor suppressor gene. Specific circARID1A knockdown resulted in reduced proliferation, cell numbers and viability, prompted apoptosis and induced a differentiated phenotype. Neither knockdown, nor overexpression of circARID1A influenced ARID1A mRNA and protein levels significantly. To dissect the potential mode of function, we performed a pulldown assay with subsequent mass spectrometry. We identified the RNA-binding protein KHSRP as an interaction partner that participates in the mechanism of action of circARID1A. In summary, this study highlights an important role of circRNAs in neuroblastoma biology and may establish this RNA class as a future therapeutic target and biomarker.

Project description:Although tens of thousands of circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified in mammalian genomes, only a few have been functionally characterized. Here, we report a new approach, circScan, to identify regulatory interactions between circRNAs and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Our method identifies back-splicing reads from crosslinking and immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (CLIP-seq) data. Using our method, we systematically scanned ~1,500 CLIP-seq datasets and identified ~12,540 and ~1,090 novel circRNA-RBP interactions in the human and mouse genomes, respectively, including all known interactions between circRNAs and Argonaute (AGO) proteins. Furthermore, more than twenty novel interactions were experimentally confirmed by RNA immunoprecipitation combined with quantitative PCR (RIP-qPCR). Importantly, we determined that natural circRNAs interact with the cap-independent translation factors eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) and N6-methyladenosine (m6A), thus suggesting that those circRNAs may be translated into proteins. These findings demonstrate that circRNAs are regulated by various RBPs and therefore may play important roles in diverse biological processes.

Project description:Somatostatin interneurons are the earliest born population of inhibitory cells. They are crucial to support normal brain development and function; however, the mechanisms underlying their integration into nascent cortical circuitry are not well understood. In this study, we begin by demonstrating that the maturation of somatostatin interneurons is activity dependent. We then investigated the relationship between activity, alternative splicing and synapse formation within this population. Specifically, we discovered that the Nova family of RNA-binding proteins are activity-dependent and are essential for the maturation of somatostatin interneurons, as well as their afferent and efferent connectivity. Moreover, in somatostatin interneurons, Nova2 preferentially mediates the alternative splicing of genes required for axonal formation and synaptic function. Hence, our work demonstrates that the Nova family of proteins are centrally involved in coupling developmental neuronal activity to cortical circuit formation.

Project description:RNAs are continuously associated with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), and these interactions are necessary for many key cellular processes ranging from splicing to chromatin regulation. Although numerous approaches have been developed to map RNA-binding sites of individual RBPs, few methods exist that allow assessment of global RBP-RNA interactions. Here, we describe a universal, high-throughput, ribonuclease-mediated protein footprint sequencing approach that reveals RNA-protein interaction sites throughout a transcriptome of interest. We apply this method to the HeLa transcriptome and compare RBP binding sites found using different cross-linkers and ribonucleases. From this analysis, we identify numerous putative RBP binding motifs, reveal novel insights into co-binding by RBPs, and uncover a significant enrichment for disease-associated polymorphisms within RBP interaction sites. Protein interaction profile sequencing (PIP-seq) in HeLa cells. Two crosslinkers (formaldehyde and UV) with two RNases (dsRNase and ssRNase) each, as well as a no-crosslink sample. Performed with and without proteins. Three replicates for formaldehyde, two replicates for UV, single replicate for no crosslinker.

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are crucial factors of post-transcriptional gene regulation and their modes of action are intensely investigated. At the center of attention are RNA motifs that guide where RBPs bind. However, sequence motifs recognized by RBPs are typically a poor predictor of RBP-RNA interactions in vivo. It is hence believed that many RBPs recognize RNAs as complexes, to increase specificity and regulatory potential. To probe the potential for RBP–RBP complex formation, we assembled a library of 978 mammalian RBPs and used rec-Y2H screening to detect direct interactions between RBPs, sampling >1M possible interactions. We discovered 1994 new interactions and demonstrate that our interaction screening discovers RBP pairs that bind RNAs adjacently. We further find that the mRNA binding region preferences of an RBP can deviate, depending on its adjacently binding interaction partner. Finally, we reveal novel RBP–RBP interaction networks among major RNA processing steps and show that RBP mutations observed in cancer rewire spliceosomal interaction networks.
