Probing RNA-protein interactions in the early embryo

ABSTRACT: The union of two germ cells to form a zygote, and subsequent early embryo development, are marked by radical remodeling of virtually every major class of biomolecules as the specialized germline states give way to the rapid and active growth that marks early development. In recent years, advances in ultra-low input genome-wide methods have enabled systematic analyses of mRNA abundance, and of chromatin organization, throughout early development in a variety of model systems. Here, we extend these efforts to the study of RNA binding protein (RBP) function in early mouse embryos, adapting REMORA based on fusing an RNA-editing enzyme to an RBP of interest – for use in early embryos. We benchmark our approach for several well-studied RBPs, successfully recovering expected features of their RNA cargos, and overall surveyed the RNA cargos for 17 RBPs of interest for early gene regulation. Analysis of changes in mRNA metabolism following knockdowns of the RBPs surveyed here allowed us to define direct regulatory functions for a subset of RBPs in the early mammalian embryo, including an unanticipated role for the RNA export factor Alyref in control of 3’ polyadenylation sites. Together, our data provide a proof of concept resource for systematically exploring RBP functions in mammalian embryogenesis.

Fly RBPome - Early embryogenesis is characterized by the maternal to zygotic transition (MTZ), in which maternally deposited messenger RNAs are translated and subsequently degraded while zygotic transcription begins

Project description:Early embryogenesis is characterized by the maternal to zygotic transition (MTZ), in which maternally deposited messenger RNAs are translated and subsequently degraded while zygotic transcription begins. Posttranscriptional gene regulation by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) is a dominant force controlling pre-zygotic gene expression. Here we describe the first in vivo mRNA-bound proteome in early Drosophila melanogaster embryos. mRNA interactome capture using conventional (254nm) and photoactivatable ribonucleoside-enhanced UV-crosslinking (365nm) was applied to detect RBPs bound to maternal and early zygotic polydenylated transcripts within the first two hours of embryogenesis. We identified a high confidence set of 476 putative RBPs and confirmed RNA-binding activity for most of the tested candidates. The majority of the identified proteins in the early fly mRNA interactome were known RBPs, harboring canonical RBPs features. Nearly hundred of the identified proteins were previously not known to bind RNA. Interestingly, mRNAs encoding RBPs and TFs exhibit time specific expression modules, in which RBPs dominate the first hours of embryonic development. Using fly-FISH data, we could show enriched RBP localization in the posterior embryo during these first hours of fly embryogenesis, suggesting general importance germ cell maturation.

Formaldehyde-crosslinking enables comprehensive profiling of in vivo RNA-interactome in UV-impermeable samples

Project description:Development of UV-crosslinking based RNA-interactome capture protocol have expanded the repertoire of RBPs. Apparent limitations of UV-crosslinking, however, have made the RBP profiling to be incomplete and inapplicable to many of the biological samples in physiological contexts. Here we developed formaldehyde-crosslinking based RNA binding protein profiling (FAX-RBP) method and quantitatively compared to UV-crosslinking based RBP profiling (UVX-RBP) in HeLa and Xenopus laevis oocyte/embryo. Quantitative comparison of FAX-RBP with UVX-RBP in HeLa cell demonstrated that FAX-RBP has greatly enhanced efficiency for profiling hundreds of RBPs in vivo. FAX-RBP was then applied to X. laevis oocyte and stage 8 embryo and profiled the dynamics of mRNP complex for over 500 RBPs. FAX-RBP thus provide the most comprehensive and unbiased RBP profile in vivo, demonstrating its potential to expand mRNP profiling into numerous physiological contexts.

Drosophila mRNA Interactome - Global changes of the RNA-bound proteome during the maternal-to-zygotic transition in Drosophila

Project description:The maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is a process that occurs in animal embryos at the earliest developmental stages, during which maternally deposited mRNAs and other molecules are degraded and replaced by products of the zygotic genome. The zygotic genome is not activated immediately upon fertilization, therefore post-transcriptional mechanisms control the first steps of development in the early, pre-MZT embryo. To perform unbiased organism-wide identification of Drosophila RNA binding proteins (RPBs), crucial players of post-transcriptional control, we applied the recently developed RNA interactome capture method, which involves cross-linking of RNAs and their direct protein partners by UV light, purification of RNA under stringent conditions and identification of proteins by mass spectrometry. Our analysis yielded 523 high confidence RBP hits, half of which were not previously reported to bind RNA. Our comparison of the RNA interactomes of pre- and post-MZT embryos reveals a highly dynamic behavior of the RNA-bound proteome during early development, and suggests active regulation of RNA binding of some RBPs. This resource provides the first evidence of RNA binding for hundreds of Drosophila proteins, and opens new avenues for study of molecular mechanisms of early development.

RNase-mediated protein footprint sequencing reveals protein-binding sites throughout the human transcriptome

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.

rec-Y2H matrix in S. cerevisiae screening reveals a vast potential for direct protein-protein interactions among RNA binding proteins

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.

RBPscan: A Quantitative, In Vivo Tool for Profiling RNA-Binding Protein Interactions IV

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are essential regulators of gene expression at post-transcriptional level, yet obtaining quantitative insights into RBP–RNA interactions in vivo remains a challenge. Here we developed RBPscan, a method that integrates RNA editing with massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs) to profile RBP binding in vivo. RBPscan fuses the catalytic domain of ADAR to the RBP of interest, using RNA editing of a recorder mRNA as a readout of binding events. We demonstrate its utility in zebrafish embryos, human cells, and yeast, where it quantifies binding strength, resolves dissociation constants, identifies high-specificity motifs for a variety of RBPs, and links binding affinities to their impact on mRNA stability. RBPscan also provide positional information of conserved and novel Pumilio-binding sites in lncRNA NORAD. With its simplicity, scalability, and compatibility across systems, RBPscan offers a versatile tool for investigating RBP–RNA interactions and complements established methods for studying post-transcriptional regulatory networks.
