Direct identification of endogenous SMG6 targets and a preferred motif spanning SMG6 cleavage sites by parallel analysis of RNA ends in human cells

ABSTRACT: In metazoans, the endoribonuclease SMG6 is thought to cleave many endogenous mRNAs targeted for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). However, most evidence as to the identity of endogenous SMG6 substrates is indirect, and little is known about their cleavage sites. Here, we report the efficacy of an RNA degradome approach called parallel analysis of RNA ends (PARE) for identifying NMD intermediates in human cells. By specifically sequencing the 5’ ends of intermediates dependent on SMG6 and the critical NMD factor UPF1, hundreds of endogenous transcripts that are direct targets of SMG6 have been revealed. A preferred sequence motif spanning most SMG6 cleavage sites has been identified and validated by mutational analysis. For many SMG6 substrates, depletion of SMG6 leads to decapping of the RNAs. These findings provide key insights into NMD and targeting by SMG6 while also demonstrating the potential of PARE for analyzing other ribonucleases with diverse endogenous substrates.

3' UTR length and mRNP composition determine endocleavage efficiencies at termination codons

Project description:We aimed to study the cleavage sites of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) substrates. Therefore, we depleted the major exoribonuclease XRN1 in human cell culture, which degrades the 3' fragments generated by SMG6-mediated endonucleolytic cleavage. Different reporter mRNAs or endogenous NMD targets were investigated and the 3' fragments were cloned, amplified and subsequently subjected to high throughput sequencing.

Human Nonsense-Mediated RNA Decay Initiates Widely by Endonucleolysis and Targets snoRNA Host Genes

Project description:Eukaryotic RNAs with premature termination codons (PTCs) are eliminated by nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). While human nonsense RNA degradation can be initiated either by an endonucleolytic cleavage event near the PTC or through decapping, the individual contribution of these activities on endogenous substrates has remained unresolved. Here we unambiguously establish that SMG6-catalyzed endonucleolysis is the primary initiating step in human nonsense RNA decay. We also show that both protein-coding and ‘non-coding’ genes hosting snoRNAs in their introns produce considerable amounts of NMD-sensitive splice variants, suggesting that these RNAs are merely by-products of a primary snoRNA production process. Finally, genes encoding multiple snoRNAs generally yield elevated numbers of alternative transcript isoforms, enabling the differential expression of individual snoRNAs. These findings demonstrate a hitherto unappreciated potential for decoupling of the individual expression levels of functional exon- and intron-encoded species from such composite genes. HEK293 Flp-In T-Rex cells were subjected to siRNA-mediated depletion of XRN1 and co-depletion of XRN1 with either SMG6 or UPF1. All the treated samples together with the controls were subjected to both RNA-seq and 5'-end-seq. RNA-seq was used for detecting NMD isoforms and their expression levels. 5'-end-seq was used for finding NMD decay intermediates (decapped and endocleaved molecules). CAGE was used to distinguish decapped from endocleaved RNA fragments.

Smg6 interacting partners in mouse

Project description:Nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) is a highly conserved and selective RNA turnover pathway that depends on the endonuclease SMG6. Here, we show that SMG6 is essential for male germ cell differentiation in mice. Germ-cell conditional knockout (cKO) of Smg6 induces extensive transcriptome misregulation, including a failure to eliminate meiotically expressed transcripts in early haploid cells, and accumulation of NMD target mRNAs with long 3’ untranslated regions (UTRs). Loss of SMG6 in the male germline results in complete arrest of spermatogenesis at the early haploid cell stage. We find that SMG6 is strikingly enriched in the chromatoid body (CB), a specialized cytoplasmic granule in male germ cells also harboring PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and the piRNA-binding protein PIWIL1.

Circadian gene expression study of SMG6 and WT mouse livers

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) has been intensively studied as a surveillance pathway that degrades erroneous transcripts arising from mutations or mis-splicing. Additional roles for NMD in determining mRNA stability in regular gene expression have emerged as well, yet it is poorly known which functions the pathway has in regular mammalian physiology in vivo. Here, we report a novel conditional Smg6 mouse allele that allows converting wild-type SMG6 to a nuclease-mutant version of the protein. We analyzed the consequences of an inactive NMD pathway on the function of the circadian clock whose mechanism is known to depend on high turnover rates of their oscillating mRNAs and proteins. Fibroblast and liver clocks show strong lengthening of free-running circadian periods under Smg6 mutant conditions. We identify a specific core clock component, Cry2, as directly NMD-regulated through its long 3' UTR. Our findings indicate that NMD has been co-opted as an mRNA decay pathway to limit the temporal availability of CRY2, one of the key transcriptional repressors in the rhythm-generating feedback loop, expanding the known scope of NMD regulation in vivo.

The NMD endonuclease SMG6 co-operates with the piRNA pathway in germ granules to shape the male germ cell transcriptome

Project description:Nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) is a conserved RNA turnover pathway. Here we report that the sole endonuclease in the NMD pathway, SMG6, is essential for the male germline. Germ-cell conditional knockout (cKO) of Smg6 causes complete arrest of spermatogenesis at the early haploid cell stage. Smg6-cKO round spermatids accumulate NMD target mRNAs with long 3’ untranslated regions (UTRs) and fail to eliminate transcripts normally expressed during meiosis, the previous step in spermatogenesis. SMG6 and PIWI-interacting (pi) RNA pathway components are highly enriched in the chromatoid body (CB), a specialized cytoplasmic granule in male germ cells. This led to the intriguing possibility that the CB is a site where SMG6 and the piRNA pathway co-operate to regulate RNA metabolism. Several findings supported this hypothesis: (i) SMG6 and the piRNA-binding protein PIWIL1 have almost identical temporal expression and localization patterns, (ii) SMG6 and PIWIL1 physically interact, (iii) scores of genes upregulated in Smg6-cKO round spermatids overlap with those upregulated in Piwil1-KO round spermatids, and (iv) the phenotypic defects caused by SMG6 loss phenocopies the defects caused by PIWIL1 loss. Together, our results demonstrate that SMG6 is an essential regulator of the male germline transcriptome and highlight the CB as a molecular platform coordinating RNA regulatory pathways to control sperm production and fertility.

Regulated endocleavage balances the degradation of nonsense-mediated decay substrates

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) controls gene expression by eliminating mRNAs with premature or aberrant translation termination. Degradation of NMD substrates is initiated by the central NMD factor UPF1, which recruits the endonuclease SMG6 and the deadenylation-promoting SMG5/7 complex. Here we map transcriptome-wide sites of SMG6-mediated endocleavage via 3′ fragment capture and degradome sequencing.

mRNA-Seq from control cells and two clones of Flp-In-T-REx-293 cells modified via CRISPR-Cas9 to knockout SMG7 in combination to knockdowns of control, SMG5, and SMG6

Project description:Mature mRNAs undergo quality control during translation that may lead to RNA degradation by triggering the nonsense mediated decay (NMD) pathway. Aberrant translation due to features such as the presence of a premature stop codon downstream on an exon-exon junction or an intron in the 3'UTR activates NMD. However, many of the features that lead to the activation of this pathway are unclear. UPF1, an RNA helicase, is the core NMD factor. UPF1 forms a multi-protein complex by recruiting a series of factors and other protein complexes in a process that depends on the UPF1 phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle. Among the factors recruited by UPF1, SMG5-SMG7 and SMG6 have critical importance in executing NMD. The SMG5-SMG7 heterodimer induces the exonucleolytic degradation of the mRNA, which depends on the recruitment of deadenylation factors. SMG6 has endonucleolytic activity and cleaves the targeted transcript close to the stop codon. The redundancy between the exonucleolytic and endonucleolytic paths to achieve degradation during NMD has been previously reported in the literature. To investigate the apparent redundancy between SMG5-SMG7 and SMG6 activity and to further understand the features that lead to the activation of NMD, we have generated two clones of SMG7 knockout human cells using CRISPR-Cas9. We generated mRNA-Sequencing data for control and both SMG7 KO clones with additional siRNA-mediated knockdown of Luciferase (Luc) as control, SMG5 or SMG6.

NMD-degradome sequencing reveals ribosome-bound intermediates with 3'-end nontemplated nucleotides

Project description:Transcriptome-wide methodology is developed to capture and sequence decay intermediates deriving from direct NMD targets. Results demonstrate that mammalian-cell NMD generates decay intermediates in a process that involves the covalent addition of nontemplated U, C, G and A nucleotides to 3'-ends. Variations of this methodology demonstrate that these decay intermediates arise co-translationally.
