The Core RNAi Machinery is Conserved Between the Cytoplasm and Nuclei of Human Cells

ABSTRACT: Argonaute 2 (AGO2), the catalytic engine of RNAi, is typically associated with inhibition of translation in the cytoplasm. Contrary to dogma, AGO2 has also been implicated in nuclear processes including transcription and splicing. There has been little insight into AGO2's nuclear interactions or how they might differ relative to cytoplasm. Here we investigate the interactions of cytoplasmic and nuclear AGO2 using semi-quantitative mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry often reveals long lists of candidate proteins, complicating efforts to rigorously discriminate true interacting partners from artifacts. We prioritized candidates using orthogonal analytical strategies that compare replicate mass spectra of proteins associated with FLAG-tagged and endogenous AGO2. Interactions with TRNC6A, TRNC6B, TNRC6C, and AGO3 are conserved between nuclei and cytoplasm. TAR binding protein interacted stably with cytoplasmic AGO2 but not nuclear AGO2, consistent with strand loading in the cytoplasm. Our data suggest that the core RNAi machinery is conserved between the nucleus and cytoplasm but that accessory proteins differ. Orthogonal analysis of mass spectra is a powerful approach to streamlining identification of protein partners.

Loss of Lamin A leads to nuclear translocation of AGO2 mediated by EGFR signaling and inactivation of RNAi

Project description:In mammals, RNA interference (RNAi) is mostly studied as a cytoplasmic event, however, numerous reports convincingly showed nuclear localization of AGO proteins. Nevertheless, the mechanism of the nuclear entry remains to be fully elucidated, and the extent of nuclear RNAi explored. The nuclear import of large proteins requires active transport through the nuclear envelope (NE). Therefore, we hypothesized that the NE, and its composition, is important for nuclear AGO2 translocation. Lamin A knockout significantly induced nuclear influx of AGO2 in SHSY5Y neuroblastoma and A375 melanoma cancer cells. We unravelled that the loss of Lamin A leads to EGFR and Src kinase activation, which regulates the turnover and stability of cytoplasmic specifically AGO2. Furthermore, EGFR mediated phosphorylation at Y393 inhibits the activity of nuclear RNAi. This was evident by AGO fPAR-CLIP in WT and KO cells, where we observed a decrease in RNAi potential. Mass spectrometry of AGO interactome, from the nuclear fraction, indicated that AGO2 is in complex with FAM120A, which may further reduced the activity of RNAi by competing with AGO2 transcript binding. Therefore, loss of Lamin A starts a signalling cascade that mediates nuclear AGO2 translocation to rapidly inhibit RNAi.

Deep Sequencing of Human Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Small RNAs Reveals an Unexpectedly Complex Subcellular Distribution of miRNAs and tRNA 3' Trailers

Project description:Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 22-nt small non-coding regulatory RNAs that have generally been considered to regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in the cytoplasm. However, recent studies have reported that some miRNAs localize to and function in the nucleus. Methodology/Principal Findings: To determine the number of miRNAs localized to the nucleus, we systematically investigated the subcellular distribution of small RNAs (sRNAs) by independent deep sequencing the nuclear and cytoplasmic pools of 18- to 30-nucleotide sRNAs from human cells. We identified 339 nuclear and 324 cytoplasmic known miRNAs, 300 of which overlap, suggesting that the majority of miRNAs are imported into the nucleus. With the exception of a few miRNAs evidently enriched in the nuclear pool, such as the mir-29b, the ratio of miRNA abundances in the nuclear fraction versus in the cytoplasmic fraction vary to some extent. Moreover, our results revealed that a large number of tRNA 3' trailers are exported from the nucleus and accumulate in the cytoplasm. These tRNA 3' trailers accumulate in a variety of cell types, implying that the biogenesis of tRNA 3' trailers is conserved and that they have a potential functional role in vertebrate cells. Conclusion/Significance: Our results provide the first comprehensive view of the subcellular distribution of diverse sRNAs and new insights into the roles of miRNAs and tRNA 3' trailers in the cell Discovery and characterization of small RNA species through deep sequencing of nuclear and cytoplasmic small RNA fractions from 5-8F cells, a nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line.

Dcr1-GFP is functional for 22-23 nt small RNAs production

Project description:Antisense (as)lncRNAs are extensively degraded by the nuclear exosome and the cytoplasmic exoribonuclease Xrn1 in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, lacking RNA interference (RNAi). Whether the ribonuclease III Dicer affects aslncRNAs in close RNAi-capable relatives remains unknown. Using genome-wide RNA profiling, here we show that aslncRNAs are primarily targeted by the exosome and Xrn1 in the RNAi-capable budding yeast Naumovozyma castellii, Dicer only affecting Xrn1-sensitive lncRNAs (XUTs) levels in Xrn1-deficient cells. The dcr1 and xrn1 mutants display synergic growth defects, indicating that Dicer becomes critical in the absence of Xrn1. Small RNA sequencing showed that Dicer processes aslncRNAs into small RNAs, with a preference for asXUTs. Consistently, Dicer localizes into the cytoplasm. Finally, we observed an expansion of the exosome-sensitive antisense transcriptome in N. castellii compared to S. cerevisiae, suggesting that the presence of cytoplasmic RNAi has reinforced the nuclear RNA surveillance machinery to temper aslncRNAs expression. Our data provide fundamental insights into aslncRNAs metabolism and open perspectives into the possible evolutionary contribution of RNAi in shaping the aslncRNAs transcriptome.

Proteomic analysis of murine Piwi proteins reveals a role for arginine methylation in specifying interaction with Tudor family members

Project description:In germ cells, Piwi proteins interact with a specific class of small non-coding RNAs, piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). Together, these form a pathway that represses transposable elements, thus safeguarding germ cell genomes. While basic models describe the operation of piRNA pathways, neither the protein compositions of Piwi complexes, the critical protein-protein interactions that drive small RNA production and target recognition, or the precise molecular consequences of conserved localization to germline structures, call nuage, is well understood. We purified the three murine Piwi family proteins, Mili, Miwi, and Miwi2, from mouse germ cells and characterized their interacting protein partners. Piwi proteins were found in complex with Prmt5/Wdr77, an enzyme that di-methylates arginine residues. By immunoprecipitation with specific antibodies and by mass spectrometry, we found that Piwi proteins are arginine methylated at conserved positions in their amino termini. These modifications are essential to direct complex formation with specific Tudor-domain proteins, whose interactions with Piwis can be required for localization of RNP complexes in cytoplasmic nuage, proper piRNA expression, and transposon silencing. Considered together, our findings indicate that arginine methylation drives the assembly of multi-protein machines whose integrity and specific sub-cellular localization is necessary for efficient function of the piRNA pathway.

N6-methyladenosine modification is not a general trait of viral RNA genomes [Dengue]

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most common internal RNA modification in eukaryotic mRNAs, is described to be abundantly present in the genomes of cytoplasmic-replicating RNA viruses. Yet, how the host nuclear m6A writer has access to the viral RNAs in the cytoplasm and what are the associated biological consequences remain unknown. Here, we comprehensively addressed these questions by combining antibody-dependent (m6A-seq) and antibody-independent (SELECT and nanopore direct RNA sequencing) methods on the cytoplasmic-replicating Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) RNA, and found no evidence of m6A modifications. Moreover, depletion of m6A modification machinery components did not affect CHIKV infection, and CHIKV infection did not alter their cellular localization. Consistent with these observations, no m6A modifications were found in the RNA genome of the dengue virus (DENV), another cytoplasmic-replicating virus. Our results challenge the idea that m6A modification is a general trait of cytoplasmic-replicating RNA viruses and stress the need of confirming antibody-dependent detection of m6A modifications with orthogonal antibody-independent methods.
