Temporally-regulated tRNA-derived small RNAs are associated primarily with non-polysomal fractions in Drosophila


ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic genomes contain various types of small non-coding RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs), silencing RNAs (siRNAs) and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). Recent studies point to the presence of a more diverse array of uncharacterized small regulatory RNAs including those that are generated from mRNAs, rRNAs and tRNAs. To explore the possible involvement of tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) in translational regulation, we fractionated 1 and 8h Drosophila embryos on sucrose density gradients and quantitatively measured by deep-dequencing the expression levels of the tRFs in the fractionated and unfractionated Drosophila embryonic cytosolic extracts. Analysis of 9,007,661 reads has revealed that tRFs, which are produced mainly from the 5’ends of a subset of tRNAs, are mostly associated with the non-polysomal fractions in Drosophila embryos. Quantitative analysis indicates that the expression levels of a subset of tRFs change temporally following the maternal-tozygotic transition in embryos. We detected non-polysomal association of tRFs in S2 cells as well. When transfected into S2 cells, the biotinylated tRFgly:GCC:5 co-fractionated with the non-polysomal complexes similar to the endogenous tRFgly:GCC:5 in embryos and S2 cells. These results suggest that the tRFs, which are much smaller in size than the stres-induced tRNA fragments, are generated selectively from a fraction of tRNAs and that they associate primarily with the non-polysomal complexes in Drosophila embryos and S2 cells.
