Widespread Influence of 3′-end Structures on Mammalian mRNA Processing and Stability [CENPB-3'-end-library]

ABSTRACT: Understanding the physiological relevance of structures in mammalian mRNAs remains elusive, especially considering the global unfolding of mRNA structures in eukaryotic organisms recently examined, as well as the decade-long observation that mRNAs generally seem no more likely than random sequences to be stably folded. Here we show that RNA secondary structures, mostly weak and close-to-random, facilitate the 3′-end processing of thousands of human mRNAs by juxtaposing poly(A) signals (PASs) and cleavage sites that are otherwise too far apart. Folding of these 3′-end structures also enhances mRNA stability. Global structure probing shows that 3′-end regions are indeed folded in cells despite substantial unfolding of PAS-upstream regions. Analyses of thousands of ectopically expressed variants prove that folding both enhances processing and increases stability. Mutagenesis of a genomic locus further implicates structure-controlled processing in regulating neighboring gene expression. These results reveal widespread roles for RNA structure in mammalian mRNA biogenesis and metabolism.

Hairpin Capture of DNA End Structures reveals chromosomal DNA end structure with single nucleotide resolution

Project description:The structure of broken DNA ends is a critical determinant of the pathway used for DNA double strand break (DSB) repair. Here, we develop an approach, hairpin capture of DNA end structures (HCoDES), which elucidates chromosomal DNA end structures at single nucleotide resolution. HCoDES defines structures of physiologic DSBs generated by the RAG endonuclease, as well as those generated by nucleases widely used for genome editing. Analysis of G1-phase cells deficient in H2AX or 53BP1 reveals DNA ends that are frequently resected to form long single-stranded overhangs that can be repaired by mutagenic pathways. In addition to 3’ overhangs, many of these DNA ends unexpectedly form long 5’ single-stranded overhangs. The divergence in DNA end structures resolved by HCoDES suggests that H2AX and 53BP1 may have distinct activities in end protection. Thus, the high-resolution end structures obtained by HCoDES identify new features of DNA end processing during DSB repair.

hydrogen deuterium uptake comparison between wild-type, I499F, and D380A variants of the myocilin olfactomedin domain

Project description:Studies of folded-to-misfolded transitions using model protein systems reveal a range of unfolding needed for exposure of amyloid-prone regions for subsequent fibrillization. Here, we probe the relationship between unfolding and aggregation for glaucoma-associated myocilin. Mutations within the olfactomedin domain of myocilin (OLF) cause a gain-of-function, namely cytotoxic intracellular aggregation, which hastens disease progression. Aggregation by wild-type OLF (OLFWT) competes with its chemical unfolding, but only below the threshold where OLF loses tertiary structure. Representative moderate (OLFD380A) and severe (OLFI499F) disease variants aggregate differently, with rates comparable to OLFWT in initial stages of unfolding, and variants adopt distinct partially folded structures seen along the OLFWT urea-unfolding pathway. Whether initiated with mutation or chemical perturbation, unfolding propagates outward to the propeller surface. In sum, for this large protein prone to amyloid formation, the requirement for a conformational change to promote amyloid fibrillization leads to direct competition between unfolding and aggregation.

Global analysis of RNA secondary structure conservation between two metazoans

Project description:The secondary structure of RNA is necessary for its maturation, regulation, and processing. However, the global influence of RNA folding in eukaryotes is still unclear. Here, we identify evolutionarily conserved features of RNA secondary structure in metazoans by applying our high-throughput, sequencing-based, structure-mapping approach to Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans. This analysis reveals key structural patterns across protein-coding transcripts that indicate RNA folding is influential to protein translation and microRNA-mediated targeting and/or regulation of mRNAs in animals. Additionally, we uncover a novel population of highly base-paired RNAs, many of which are likely functional, long, non-coding RNAs. Finally, we identify and characterize ~180 structural motifs of mRNAs that are under positive or negative selection in these metazoans, thereby revealing a large set of RNA structures that are likely functional. Overall, our findings highlight the significance of secondary structure within RNA molecules, and provide the first comprehensive evidence of widespread RNA secondary structure conservation in animals.
