Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a major translation-dependent RNA degradation pathway required for embryo development and telomere maintenance. Core NMD factors Upf1, Upf2 and Upf3 are conserved from yeast to mammals but a model of the NMD machinery compatible with all eukaryotes is not yet available. We performed the first large-scale quantitative characterization of yeast NMD complexes through affinity purification and mass-spectrometry with 7 different NMD-related factors, with or without Rnase, in strains deleted or not for NMD genes. This extensive characterization of NMD complexes identified two distinct complexes associated with Upf1: Detector (Upf1/2/3) and Effector. Effector contained, in addition to Upf1, the mRNA decapping enzyme and two potential equivalents of mammalian Smg6/5/7: Nmd4 and Ebs1. Like the Smg proteins, Nmd4 and Ebs1 were required for efficient NMD. Our results suggest that the core eukaryotic NMD machinery is conserved across species and operates through successive Upf1-bound Detector and Effector complexes.

Project description:The RNA helicase UPF1 interacts with mRNAs, mRNA decay machinery, and the terminating ribosome to promote nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Structural and biochemical data have revealed that UPF1 exists in an enzymatically autoinhibited “closed” state. Upon binding the NMD protein UPF2, UPF1 undergoes an extensive conformational change into a more enzymatically active “open” state, which exhibits enhanced ATPase and helicase activity. However, mechanically deficient UPF1 mutants can support efficient NMD, bringing into question the roles of UPF1 enzymatic autoinhibition and activation in NMD. Here, we identify two additional important features of the activated open state: slower nucleic acid binding kinetics and enhanced ATP-stimulated nucleic acid dissociation kinetics. Computational modeling based on empirical measurements of UPF1, UPF2, and RNA interaction kinetics predicts that the majority of UPF1-RNA binding and dissociation events in cells occur independently of UPF2 binding. We find that UPF1 mutants with either reduced or accelerated dissociation from RNA have NMD defects, whereas UPF1 mutants that are more dependent on UPF2 for catalytic activity remain active on well-established NMD targets. These findings support a model in which the kinetics of UPF1-mRNA interactions are important determinants of cellular NMD efficiency.

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) functions to degrade transcripts bearing premature stop codon (PTC) and is a crucial regulator of gene expression. NMD and the UPF3B gene have been implicated as the cause of various forms of intellectual disability (ID) and other neurological symptoms. Here, we reports three patients with global developmental delay carrying hemizygous deletions of the UPF2 gene, another important member of the NMD pathway and direct interacting partner of UPF3B. Using RNA-SEQ on lymphoblastoid cells from UPF2 deletion patients, we identified 1009 differently expressed genes (DEGs). 38% of these DEGs overlapped with DEGs identified in UPF3B patients. More importantly, 95% of all DEGs in either UPF2 or UPF3B patients share the same trend of de-regulation. This demonstrates that the transcriptome deregulation in these two patient groups is similar and that UPF2 should be considered as a new candidate gene for ID in man. We expanded our inq`uiries and performed a comprehensive search for copy number variations (CNVs) encompassing all NMD genes in cohorts of ID patients and controls. We found that UPF2, UPF3A, Y14, SMG6 and EIF4A3 are frequently deleted and/or duplicated in ID patients. These CNVs are likely to be the root of the problems or to act as predisposing factors. Our results suggest that dosage imbalance of NMD factors is associated with ID and further emphasize the importance of NMD in normal learning and memory processes.

Project description:Eukaryotic cells have evolved a mechanism called nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD) that detects and degrades aberrant mRNAs that contain premature termination codons (PTCs). NMD has recently acquired broader importance as it has been found to regulate not only aberrant mRNAs but also a great diversity of transcripts, including wild type genes in mammals, Drosophila and yeast. Seven proteins are the core of the NMD complex: SMG1, SMG2 (UPF1), SMG3 (UPF2), SMG4 (UPF3), SMG5, SMG6 and SMG7. Plants have orthologues of most of these proteins. We have identified and characterized a number of alleles of UPF1, UPF3 and SMG5 and made 35S:UPF2 RNAi (upf2i) transgenic plants, all of which share some phenotypic characteristics. Transcriptome analysis of upf1 and upf3 mutants has identified a subset of genes coregulated by UPF1 and UPF3 and, therefore, by NMD (unpublished data). By doing further transcriptome analysis on smg5 mutants and upf2i plants we aim to build a more robust subset of NMD targets in Arabidopsis. RNA will be extracted from 17 day-old mutant, transgenic and wild type seedlings grown at 22-24 C under constant light. 6 samples were used in this experiment

Project description:Two core factors of the NMD machinery in D. melanogaster, Upf1 and Upf2, were knocked down using RNAi, as described in Rehwinkel et al. (2005) RNA, PMID: 16199763. Each of the two knockdowns were compared to mock RNAi knockdowns as described in Blanchette et al. (2005) Genes Dev, PMID: 15937219 in a dual channel experiment, using a custom splice-junction microarray design, see Blanchette et al. (2005), PMID: 15937219. The aim of the experiment was to identify which isoforms of alternatively spliced genes were affected by NMD knockdown and thereby gain insight into the NMD mechanism in Drosophila. The samples were hybridized in a dual channel setup, to custom designed Splice-Junction arrays manufactured by Agilent. A total of 6 independent knockdowns (3 Upf1 and 3 Upf2) were generated and hybridized to 6 different arrays. On each array a control sample was hybridized as well. The control sample is a pool of 3 independent mock RNAi knockdowns.
