Project description:Loss of CLP1 activity results in the accumulation of novel sets of small RNA fragments derived from aberrant processing of tyrosine pre-tRNA. Such tRNA fragments sensitize cells to oxidative stress-induced p53 activation and p53-dependent cell death. 2 samples, Wt and Clp1(k/k), no replicates

Project description:CLP1 was the first mammalian RNA kinase to be identified. However, determining its in vivo function has been elusive. Here we generated kinase-dead Clp1 (Clp1K/K) mice that show a progressive loss of spinal motor neurons associated with axonal degeneration in the peripheral nerves and denervation of neuromuscular junctions, resulting in impaired motor function, muscle weakness, paralysis and fatal respiratory failure. Transgenic rescue experiments show that CLP1 functions in motor neurons. Mechanistically, loss of CLP1 activity results in accumulation of a novel set of small RNA fragments, derived from aberrant processing of tyrosine pre-transfer RNA. These tRNA fragments sensitize cells to oxidative-stress-induced p53 (also known as TRP53) activation and p53-dependent cell death. Genetic inactivation of p53 rescues Clp1K/K mice from the motor neuron loss, muscle denervation and respiratory failure. Our experiments uncover a mechanistic link between tRNA processing, formation of a new RNA species and progressive loss of lower motor neurons regulated by p53.

Our experiments uncover a mechanistic link between tRNA processing, formation of a new RNA species and progressive loss of lower motor neurons regulated by p53. RNA was extracted from spinal cord of 3 Clp1 knock-out mice and 3 wild type mice (15 days old, male, all samples age and sex matched) and submitted to differential splicing analysis using Affymetrix Exon microarrays. Differential splicing analysis was performed between the Clp1 KO and WT samles employing a custom CDF, that was based on a complete re-alignment of oligonucleotide probes to the genome and transcriptome (Ensembl 52, ASTD 1.1; further information on http://bioinfo.i-med.ac.at).

Project description:Homozygous mutation of the RNA kinase CLP1 causes pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 10 (PCH10), a pediatric neurodegenerative disease. CLP1 is associated with the tRNA splicing endonuclease complex and the cleavage and polyadenylation machinery, but its function remains unclear. We generated two mouse models of PCH10: one homozygous for the disease-associated Clp1 mutation, R140H, and one heterozygous for this mutation and a null allele. Both models exhibit loss of lower motor neurons and neurons of the deep cerebellar nuclei. To explore whether Clp1 mutation impacts tRNA splicing, we profiled the products of intron-containing tRNA genes. While mature tRNAs were expressed at normal levels in mutant mice, numerous other products of intron-containing tRNA genes were dysregulated, with pre-tRNAs, introns, and certain tRNA fragments upregulated, and other fragments downregulated. However, the spatiotemporal patterns of dysregulation did not support a role in pathogenicity for most altered tRNA products. To elucidate the effect of Clp1 mutation on pre-mRNA cleavage, we analyzed poly(A) site (PAS) usage and gene expression in Clp1R140H/- spinal cord. PAS usage was shifted from proximal to distal sites in the mutant mouse, particularly in short and closely spaced genes. Many such genes also were expressed at lower levels in the Clp1R140H/- mouse, possibly as a result of impaired transcript maturation. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that select genes are particularly dependent upon CLP1 for proper pre-mRNA cleavage, suggesting that the contribution of mRNA 3’ processing to pathogenesis in PCH10 merits further investigation.

Project description:Argonaute/Piwi proteins associate with small RNAs that typically provide sequence specificity for RNP function in gene and genome regulation. Here we show that Twi12, a Tetrahymena Piwi protein essential for growth, is loaded with mature tRNA fragments. The tightly bound ~18-22 nt tRNA 3M-bM-^@M-^Y fragments are biochemically distinct from the tRNA halves produced transiently in response to stress. Notably, the end positions of Twi12-bound tRNA 3' fragments precisely match RNAs detected in total small RNA of mouse embryonic stem cells and human cancer cells. Our studies demonstrate unanticipated evolutionary conservation of mature tRNA processing to tRNA-fragment small RNAs. Two libraries are analyzed here: sRNAs associated with slightly overexpressed ZZ-tagged Twi12 purified under native conditions (size range 15-34nt), and those associated after formaldehyde crosslinking (15-22nt).

Project description:Abstract Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are exceptionally subject to modifications, including methylation. While mRNA methylation is emerging as an important regulator of biological and pathological processes in cancer, how post-transcriptional methylation of tRNAs contributes to cancer is largely unknown. Here we show that the RNA N7-methylguanosine (m7G) methyltransferase METTL1 is highly differentially expressed in prostate cancer compared to non-tumour prostate tissues. METTL1 expression regulation is mediated by the oncogenic regulator PI3K, which is altered in most advanced prostate tumours. Knockdown of METTL1 dramatically inhibits prostate cancer cell growth and tumour progression in vivo. In contrast, overexpression of the wild type but not the catalytically inactive METTL1 potentiates cell growth. Thus, METTL1-mediated methylation is important for prostate tumorigenesis. Mechanistically we find that METTL1 depletion causes loss of m7G tRNA methylation and increases endonucleolytic cleavage of Cysteine tRNA leading to an accumulation of 5′ tRNA-derived small RNA fragments. 5′ tRNA-derived fragments steer translation control to favour synthesis of key regulators of tumour growth suppression and immune rejection. In summary, our findings uncover a critical function of m7G tRNA methylation in directing translation control in cancer cells with important implications for tumour growth and unveil METTL1 inhibition as a promising anti-cancer therapeutic strategy. induction and maintenance of naïve human pluripotency are governed by distinct signaling requirements. tRNAs from WT and METTL1 KO cells were subjected to NaBH4-Aniline treatment followed by RNA-seq to unveil methylation of guanosine-7 in tRNA with nucleotie resolution. RNA-seq libraries were also analysed to unveil tRNA stability or processing into tRNA-derived fragments in METTL1 KO cells.

Project description:Using CLIP-seq, hm5C RIP-seq, and small RNA-seq, we show that TET2 binds to tRNAs in mouse embryonic stem cells at sites enriched for hm5C. Loss of TET2 causes decreased hm5C on tRNAs and abrogation of all TET activity led to changes in 5' and 3' tRNA fragments.
