Small RNA deep sequencing of cellular subcompartments


ABSTRACT: RNA deep sequencing efforts have revealed abundant expression of small RNAs derived from small nucleolar (sno) RNAs. We employ here spatial RNA deep sequencing to assess the expression of 10-40 nt small RNAs in subcellular compartments of HeLa cells. Total cellular, cytoplasmic, nuclear and nucleolar fractions were isolated, RNA was purified and size-fractionated in a two-step process to yield 10-40 nt RNA fractions. cDNA libraries were constructed and sequenced on a Ion Torrent platform. Vast majority of cellular, cytoplasmic and nuclear small RNA reads were identified as miRNAs. We found the expression of eleven ten miRNAs in the nucleolar preparations using a cut-off rate of 10 reads. Several miRNAs had a greater relative abundance in the nucleolus compared to the other compartments. The nucleolar small RNAs had a unique size distribution consisting of 19-20 and 25 nt RNAs, which were predominantly composed of small snoRNA-derived box C/D RNAs (termed as sdRNA). Sequences from 47 sdRNAs were identified, which mapped both 5’ and 3’ ends of the snoRNAs, and retained conserved box C or D motifs. SdRNA reads from SNORD44 comprised 74% of all nucleolar sdRNAs, and were confirmed by Northern blotting as 20 and 25 nt RNAs. This study reveals a rich representation of cell-compartment specific expression of small RNAs and the distinctive unique composition of the nucleolar small RNAs.
