Biochemical and structural insights into the function of small RNA methyltransferase Hen1 in animals

ABSTRACT: HUA ENHANCER 1 (Hen1) is a RNA 2'-O-methyltransferase that modifies small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) by adding a methyl group to the 2'-OH of 3'-terminal nucleotides, thereby protecting them from other modifications and degradation. The molecular mechanism underlying the methylation of small RNA duplexes has been revealed by the crystal structure of Hen1 in Arabidopsis (AtHen1). However, the molecular basis of single-stranded RNA methylation by mammalian Hen1 homologues, especially p-element-induced wimpy testis (PIWI)-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), remains elusive. Here we show that mouse Hen1 (mHen1) is responsive for the 3’ end methylation of classical piRNAs, as well as for the non-canonical piRNAs derived from ribosomal RNA (rRNAs), small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) and transfer RNAs (tRNAs) in mouse spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). Moreover, we identified a class of transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived sncRNAs as novel substrates of mHen1, which we refer to as Hen1-methylated tRNA-derived small RNAs. We determined the crystal structure of the catalytic domain of human Hen1 (HsHen1) in complex with its cofactor AdoMet at 1.8 Å resolution. Comparisons of the structures of HsHen1 and AtHen1 reveal a similar active site for binding a divalent cation and AdoMet. An in vitro methyltransferase assay indicated that the complete catalytic domain of HsHen1 is sufficient to methylate a specific length of single-stranded RNAs in a manganese-dependent manner. In conclusion, our functional and structural findings provide important insights into the methylation details of sncRNAs in mouse SSCs, and the catalytic mechanism of mammalian Hen1

Nucleotidyltransferase gene HESO1

Project description:Small RNAs in plants are protected by 2'-O-methylation at 3' terminal nucleotide by HEN1. In hen1 mutant, small RNAs lacking 3' methylation are truncated and tailed at 3' end. We identified a nucleotidyltransferase gene HESO1 in Arabidopsis that tails small RNAs in hen1. In order to study the small RNA tailing and truncation in detail in wild type Col, heso1-1, hen1-8 and hen1-8 heso1-1 double mutant, we constructed small RNA libraries for these four genotypes and we found heso1-1 mutation reduces small RNA tailing in hen1-8 background, however, the 3' truncation is not significantly affected.

Functional diversity and convergence of small non-coding RNAs in male germ cell differentiation and fertilization (piRNA and endo-siRNAs)

Project description:The small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are considered as postranscriptional key regulators of male germ cell development. In addition to microRNAs (miRNAs) and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), other sncRNAs generated from small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), tRNAs or rRNAs processing may also play important regulatory roles in spermatogenesis. By next generation sequencing (NGS), we characterized the different sncRNA populations detected at three milestone stages in male germ differentiation: primordial germ cells (PGCs) at 13.5 dpc, pubertal spermatogonia cells, and mature spermatozoa. In order to assess the potential transmission of the sncRNAs through the mature spermatozoa during fertilization, the sncRNA population detected in male germ cells was also compared with sncRNAs detected in unfertilized mouse oocytes and zygotes. Combining the data obtained by NGS and microarrays from whole PGC and spermatogonia transcriptome, we defined the potential regulatory roles of specific miRNAs and their validated targets. Similar to miRNAs, both the small RNAs derived from snoRNAs and the piRNAs, could be involved in the postranscriptional regulation of mRNA transcripts during the male germ development. Finally, our results strongly suggest that the small RNAs-derived from tRNAs and rRNAs are interacting with PIWI proteins, and specifically with MILI. These new classes of piRNAs are not generated by the ping-pong pathway and could be the source of primary piRNAs.

Small non-coding RNA discovery and profiling with sRNAtools based on high-throughput sequencing

Project description:Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are generated from different genomic loci and have important roles in biological processes, such as cell proliferation and regulation of gene expression. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has provided an unprecedented opportunity to discover and quantify diverse kinds of sncRNAs, such as tRFs (tRNA-derived small RNA fragments), phasiRNAs (phased, secondary, small interfering RNAs), piRNAs and plant specific 24-nt short interfering RNAs (siRNAs). However, currently available web-based tools do not provide approaches to comprehensively analyze all these diverse sncRNAs. A novel web server, sRNAtools (https://bioinformatics.sc.cn/sRNAtools), is presented that can be used in conjunction with high-throughput sequencing to discover, profile and functionally annotate sncRNAs, including miRNAs, isomiRs, piRNAs, tRFs, tRNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs, rRNAs, phasiRNAs, and plant specific 24-nt siRNAs for 21 species. In this study, sRNAtools has been used in sncRNA profiling in poplar wood tissues, which identified many wood related sncRNAs expression patterns.We believe that sRNAtools will greatly benefit the scientific community as an integrated tool to study sncRNAs.

PIWI-interacting RNAs are dysregulated in renal cell carcinoma and associated with tumor metastasis and cancer specific survival

Project description:Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a distinct group of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) that silence transposable genetic elements to protect genome integrity. Due to their limited expression in gonads and sequence diversity, piRNAs remain the most mysterious class of small RNAs. Studies have shown piRNAs are present in somatic cells and dysregulated in gastric, breast and liver cancers. By deep sequencing 24 frozen benign kidney and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) specimens and using the publically available piRNA database, we found 26,991 piRNAs present in human kidney tissue. Among 920 piRNAs that at least had two copies in one specimen, 19 were differentially expressed in benign kidney and ccRCC tissues, and 46 were associated with metastasis. Among the metastasis-related piRNAs, we found 3 piRNAs, piR- 32051, piR-39894 and piR-43607, to be derived from the same piRNA cluster at chromosome 17. We confirmed the 3 selected piRNAs not to be miRNAs or miRNA-like sncRNAs. We further validated the aberrant expression of the 3 piRNAs in a 68-case formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) ccRCC tissue cohort and showed the upregulation of the 3 piRNAs to be highly associated with ccRCC metastasis, late clinical stage and cancer-specific survival.

A piRNA like small RNA interacts with and modulates p-ERM proteins in human somatic cells

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are thought to silence transposon and gene expression during development. However, the roles of piRNAs in somatic tissues are largely unknown. Here we report the identification of 555 piRNAs in human lung bronchial epithelial (HBE) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines, including 295 that don’t exist in databases termed as piRNA-Like sncRNAs or piRNA-Ls. Distinctive piRNA/piRNA-L expression patterns are observed between HBE and NSCLC cells. piRNA-L-163 (piR-L-163), the top down-regulated piRNA-L in NSCLC cells, binds directly to phosphorylated ERM proteins (p-ERM), which is dependent on the central part of UUNNUUUNNUU motif in piR-L-163 and the RRRKPDT element in ERM, and. The piR-L-163/p-ERM interaction is critical for p-ERM’s binding capability to filamentous actin (F-actin) and ERM-binding phosphoprotein 50 (EBP50). Thus, piRNA/piRNA-L may play a regulatory role through direct interaction with proteins in physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
