A sliding-bulge structure at the Dicer processing site of pre-miRNA regulates alternative Dicer processing to generate 5’-isomiRs (pre-miR-203)

ABSTRACT: 5’-isomiRs expand the repertoire of miRNA targets. However, how they are generated is not well understood. Here, we showed that, for some miRNAs in mammalian cells, 5’-isomiRs are generated by alternative Dicer processing by using miRNA offset RNAs (moRs) to determine Drosha cleavage sites in cells. In addition, we showed that in miR-203, alternative Dicer processing is regulated by a conserved sliding-bulge structure at the Dicer processing site, which allows the pre-miRNA molecule to fold into two different structures that are processed differently by Dicer. So far no RNA motif that slides to change conformation and alter a protein–RNA interaction has been reported. Thus, our study revealed a novel RNA motif that regulates 5’-isomiR generation in some miRNAs. It might also contribute to regulating protein–RNA interactions in other biological processes, since it takes only one point mutation to generate the sliding bulge, and there are a large number of different RNAs in the cell.

The loop position of shRNAs and pre-miRNAs is critical for the accuracy of Dicer processing in vivo

Project description:Short-hairpin RNA (shRNA)-induced RNAi is used for biological discovery and therapeutics. Dicer, whose normal role is to liberate endogenous miRNAs from their precursors, processes shRNAs into different biologically active siRNAs, affecting their efficacy and potential for off-targeting. We found that in cells, Dicer induced imprecise cleavage events around the expected sites based on the previously described 5'/3'-counting rules. These promiscuous non-canonical cleavages were abrogated when the cleavage site was positioned 2 nt from a bulge or loop. Interestingly, we observed that the ~1/3 of mammalian endogenous pre-miRNAs that contained such structures were more precisely processed by Dicer. Implementing a new "loop-counting rule", we designed potent anti-HCV shRNAs with substantially reduced off-target effects. Our results suggest that Dicer recognizes the loop/bulge structure in addition to the ends of shRNAs/pre-miRNAs for accurate processing. This has important implications for both miRNA processing and future design of shRNAs for RNAi-based genetic screens and therapies.

Sequence determinants of dsRNA processing by DICER [Rescue Experiment]

Project description:RNA silencing relies on specific and efficient processing of dsRNA by DICER which produces microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). However, our current knowledge of DICER’s specificity is restricted to the secondary structures of its substrates: a dsRNA than 22 bp with a 2-nt 3′ overhang. We recently found evidence pointing to additional sequence-dependent determinant(s) beyond these features. To systematically interrogate the features of precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs), we carried out massively parallel assays with over a million pre-miRNA variants. Our analyses revealed a highly conserved cis-acting element, termed the “GYM” motif (paired G, paired pyrimidine, and mismatched C or A) at the cleavage site, which strongly promotes processing at a specific position. We find that the C-terminal double-stranded RNA binding domain (dsRBD) of DICER recognizes the GYM motif. Mutation of the dsRBD alters pre-miRNA cleavage sites and impairs processing in a motif-dependent fashion, which in turn affects the miRNA repertoire in cells. Consistently, integrating the GYM motif into short hairpin RNA (shRNA) or Dicer substrate siRNA (DsiRNA) potentiates RNA interference.

Structure of the human DICER-pre-miRNA complex in a dicing state I

Project description:Dicer plays a key role in small RNA biogenesis by processing double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). Human DICER (hDICER) is specialized in processing of small hairpins such as pre-microRNAs (pre-miRNAs) with a limited activity towards long dsRNAs, unlike its homologs in lower eukaryotes and plants which cleave long dsRNAs. While the mechanism of long dsRNA cleavage has been well documented, our understanding of pre-miRNA processing is limited due to lack of the structure of hDICER in a catalytic state. Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of hDICER bound to pre-miRNA in a dicing state, uncovering the structural basis for pre-miRNA processing.

DICER-interacting partners in juvenile mouse testes

Project description:DICER has a well-characterized role in the processing of microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNA) that are important for post-transcriptional gene regulation. Emerging evidence suggests that DICER also has several non-canonical functions beyond miRNA/siRNA biogenesis, for example in transcriptional gene silencing at the chromatin level, as well as in RNA degradation and maintenance of genomic integrity. We have shown that the function of DICER in germ cells is essential for normal spermatogenesis; male mice lacking DICER in postnatal male germ cells are infertile due to severe defects in haploid differentiation. To better understand the function of DICER in male germ cells, we immunoprecipitated DICER from juvenile mouse testes and performed mass spectrometric analysis to identify DICER-interacting proteins.
