The RNA Exosome Maintains Cellular RNA Homeostasis by Controlling Transcript Abundance in the Brain

ABSTRACT: Intracellular ribonucleases (RNases) are essential for maintaining accurate RNA levels. Inherited mutations in genes encoding ubiquitous RNases are associated with human diseases, primarily affecting the nervous system. Recessive mutations in genes encoding the evolutionarily conserved RNA exosome, an RNase complex, cause syndromic neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 1b (PCH1b), characterized by progressive neurodegeneration. Here, we establish a CRISPR/Cas9-engineered Drosophila model of PCH1b to investigate the cell-type-specific post-transcriptional regulatory functions of the RNA exosome complex in vivo. Pathogenic variants in Rrp40, a subunit of the complex, disrupt RNA exosome activity, leading to widespread transcriptomic dysregulation in brain-enriched cell populations, including defective rRNA processing. These molecular defects coincide with progressive neurodegeneration and behavioral impairments that track with allele severity. Our findings provide a cell-type-resolved view of RNA exosome function in a fully developed animal brain and underscore the critical role of RNA surveillance in safeguarding transcriptome homeostasis and neuronal integrity.

The RNA exosome maintains cellular RNA homeostasis by controlling transcript abundance in the brain

Project description:Intracellular ribonucleases (RNases) are essential in all aspects of RNA metabolism, including maintaining accurate RNA levels. Inherited mutations in genes encoding ubiquitous RNases are associated with human diseases, primarily affecting the nervous system. Recessive mutations in genes encoding an evolutionarily conserved RNase complex, the RNA exosome, lead to syndromic neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by progressive neurodegeneration, such as Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 1b (PCH1b). We establish a CRISPR/Cas9-engineered Drosophila model of PCH1b to study cell-type-specific post-transcriptional regulatory functions of the nuclear RNA exosome complex within fly head tissue. Here, we report that pathogenic RNA exosome mutations alter activity of the complex, causing widespread dysregulation of brain-enriched cellular transcriptomes, including rRNA processing defects—resulting in tissue-specific, progressive neurodegenerative effects in flies. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of RNA exosome function within a developed animal brain and underscore the critical role of post-transcriptional regulatory machinery in maintaining cellular RNA homeostasis within the brain.

Recessive mutation in EXOSC3 associates with mitochondrial dysfunction and pontocerebellar hypoplasia

Project description:Recessive mutations in EXOSC3, encoding a subunit of the human RNA exosome complex, cause Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1b (PCH1B). We report a boy with severe muscular hypotonia, psychomotor retardation, progressive microcephaly, and cerebellar atrophy. Biochemical abnormalities comprised mitochondrial Complex I and PDHc deficiency. Whole exome sequencing uncovered a known EXOSC3-mutation p.(D132A) as the underlying cause. In patient fibroblasts, >50% of the EXOSC3 protein was trapped in the cytosol. mtDNA-copy numbers in muscle were reduced to 40%, but mutations in the mtDNA and nuclear mitochondrial genes were excluded. RNA-seq of patient muscle showed highly increased mRNA-copy numbers, especially for genes encoding structural subunits of OXPHOS-complexes I, III, and IV, possibly due to reduced degradation by a dysfunctional exosome complex. This is the first case of mitochondrial dysfunction associated with an EXOSC3 mutation, which expands the phenotypic spectrum of PCH1B. We discuss the links between exosome and mitochondrial dysfunction.

RNA exosome mutations in pontocerebellar hypoplasia alter ribosome biogenesis and p53 levels

Project description:The eukaryotic RNA exosome is a ubiquitously expressed complex of nine core proteins (EXOSC1-9) and associated nucleases responsible for RNA processing and degradation. Autosomal recessive mutations in EXOSC3, EXOSC8, EXOSC9 and the exosome cofactor RBM7 cause pontocerebellar hypoplasia and motor neuronopathy. To understand the importance of the exosome in neurodegeneration, we investigated the consequences of exosome mutations on RNA metabolism and cellular survival in zebrafish and human cell models. We observed that levels of mRNAs encoding p53 and ribosome biogenesis factors are upregulated in zebrafish lines with homozygous mutations of exosc8 or exosc9, respectively. In addition, exosome deficiency leads to increased levels of multiple non-coding RNAs (e.g. tRNAs, snoRNAs, scaRNAs). Consistent with higher p53 levels, mutant zebrafish have a reduced head size, smaller brain and cerebellum caused by an increased number of apoptotic cells during development. Downregulation of EXOSC9 in human cells leads to p53 protein stabilisation and G2/M cell cycle arrest. The work provides explanation for the pathogenesis of exosome-related disorders and highlights the link between exosome function, ribosome biogenesis and p53-dependent signalling.

The nuclear RNA exosome is co-opted to enhance host:viral RNA hybrids that propel influenza virus ribogenesis and infectivity

Project description:The nuclear RNA exosome is an essential multi-subunit complex that controls RNA homeostasis. Congenital mutations in exosome genes are associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we show that transient depletion of nuclear RNA exosome subunits in epithelial cells inhibits influenza virus replication. Similarly, viral biogenesis was suppressed in cells derived from mice with conditional ablation of the RNA exosome subunit Exosc3. Furthermore, patient-derived cells with a congenital EXOSC3 mutation were less susceptible to influenza virus infection. Using proteomics and next generation sequencing during infection, we show that the viral polymerase complex (PA, PB2, PB1) co-opts the nuclear RNA exosome complex and cellular RNAs en route to 3’ end degradation. Mechanistically, the nuclear RNA exosome coordinates the initial steps of viral transcription with RNAPII at host promoters. Exosome deficiency uncouples chromatin targeting of the viral polymerase complex and the formation of cellular:viral RNA hybrids, which are essential RNA intermediates that license transcription of antisense genomic viral RNAs. Overall, we discovered a critical nexus between an essential component of the influenza virus (polymerase) and an essential component of the cell (exosome), alteration of which leads to breakage of host-pathogen symmetry and a lose-lose scenario (viral impairment and neurodegeneration).

A Budding Yeast Model for Human Disease Mutations in the EXOSC2 Cap Subunit of the RNA Exosome

Project description:RNA exosomopathies, a growing family of tissue-specific diseases, are linked to missense mutations in genes encoding the structural subunits of the conserved 10-subunit exoribonuclease complex, the RNA exosome. Such mutations in the cap subunit gene EXOSC2 cause the novel syndrome SHRF (Short stature, Hearing loss, Retinitis pigmentosa and distinctive Facies). In contrast, exosomopathy mutations in the cap subunit gene EXOSC3 cause pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1b (PCH1b). Though having strikingly different disease pathologies, EXOSC2 and EXOSC3 exosomopathy mutations result in amino acid substitutions in similar, conserved domains of the cap subunits, suggesting that these exosomopathy mutations have distinct consequences for RNA exosome function. We generated the first in vivo model of the SHRF pathogenic amino acid substitutions using budding yeast by introducing the EXOSC2 mutations in the orthologous S. cerevisiae gene RRP4. The resulting rrp4 mutant cells have defects in cell growth and RNA exosome function. We detect significant transcriptomic changes in both coding and non-coding RNAs in the rrp4 variant, rrp4-G226D, which models EXOSC2 p.Gly198Asp. Comparing this rrp4-G226D mutant to the previously studied S. cerevisiae model of EXOSC3 PCH1b mutation, rrp40-W195R, reveals that these mutants have disparate effects on certain RNA targets, providing the first evidence for different mechanistic consequences of these exosomopathy mutations. Congruently, we detect specific negative genetic interactions between RNA exosome cofactor mutants and rrp4-G226D but not rrp40-W195R. These data provide insight into how SHRF mutations could alter the function of the RNA exosome and allow the first direct comparison of exosomopathy mutations that cause distinct pathologies.

Comparative analyses of disease-linked missense mutations in the RNA exosome modeled in budding yeast reveal distinct functional consequences in translation

Project description:The RNA exosome is an evolutionarily conserved exoribonuclease complex that consists of a 3-subunit cap, a 6-subunit barrel-shaped core, and a catalytic base subunit. Missense mutations in genes encoding structural subunits of the RNA exosome cause a growing family of diseases with diverse pathologies, collectively termed RNA exosomopathies. The disease symptoms vary and can manifest as neurological defects or developmental disorders. The diversity of the RNA exosomopathy pathologies suggests that the different missense mutations in structural genes result in distinct in vivo consequences. To investigate these functional consequences and distinguish whether they are unique to each RNA exosomopathy mutation, we generated a collection of in vivo models using budding yeast by introducing pathogenic missense mutations in orthologous S. cerevisiae genes. We then performed a comparative RNA-seq analysis to assess broad transcriptomic changes in each mutant model. Three of the mutant models rrp4-G226D, rrp40-W195R and rrp46-L191H, which model mutations in the genes encoding structural subunits of the RNA exosome, EXOSC2, EXOSC3 and EXOSC5 showed the largest transcriptomic differences. Further analyses revealed shared increased transcripts enriched in translation or ribosomal RNA modification/processing pathways across the three mutant models. Studies of the impact of the mutations on translation revealed shared defects in ribosome biogenesis but distinct impacts on translation. Collectively, our results provide the first comparative analysis of several RNA exosomopathy mutant models and suggest that different RNA exosomopathy mutations result in in vivo consequences that are both unique and shared across each variant, providing more insight into the biology underlying each distinct pathology.

The RNA helicase DDX1 associates with the nuclear RNA exosome and modulates R-loops [RNA-seq]

Project description:The RNA exosome is a ten-subunit complex that mediates both RNA processing and degradation. This complex is evolutionarily conserved, ubiquitously expressed, and required for fundamental cellular functions, including rRNA processing. The RNA exosome plays many roles in regulating gene expression and protecting the genome, including modulating the accumulation of R-loops at sites of transcription. The RNA exosome interacts with specific target RNAs for decay or processing by interacting proteins termed cofactors. Attributing to the essential function of the RNA exosome for processes critical in all cells, such as production of mature rRNA, missense mutations in structural subunit genes of this complex cause neurological diseases. One possibility for why point mutations cause neurological diseases is that the RNA exosome partners with cell- or tissue-specific protein cofactors. Here, we employed a murine neuronal cell line (N2A) and performed immunoprecipitation of the RNA exosome subunit, EXOSC3, followed by mass spectrometry to obtain a snapshot of the RNA exosome interactome. We validated an interaction with DDX1, a putative RNA helicase. DDX1 plays roles in double-strand break repair, rRNA processing, and RNA metabolism. To explore shared functions of EXOSC3 and DDX1, we investigated the interaction after inducing DNA damage, and performed DNA/RNA immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (DRIP-Seq) and RNA-seq on N2A cells depleted of either EXOSC3 or DDX1. These findings suggest that EXOSC3 and DDX1 function together in the absence of severe DNA damage to modulate spontaneous events such as RNA-DNA hybrid (R-loop) formation.

System-wide analyses of the fission yeast poly(A)+ RNA interactome reveal insights into organisation and function of RNA-protein complexes

Project description:Production, function, and turnover of mRNA are orchestrated by multi-subunit machineries that play a central role in gene expression. Within these molecular machines, interactions with the target mRNA are mediated by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), and the accuracy and dynamics of these RNA-protein interactions are essential for their function. Here, we show that fission yeast whole cell poly(A)+ RNA-protein crosslinking data provides system-wide information on the organisation and function of the RNA-protein complexes. We evaluate relative enrichment of cellular RBPs on poly(A)+ RNA to identify interactors with high RNA9 binding activity and provide key information about the RNA-binding properties of large multi10 protein complexes, such as the mRNA 3’ end processing machinery (cleavage and polyadenylation factor, CPF) and the RNA exosome. We demonstrate that different functional modules within CPF differ in their ability to interact with RNA. Importantly, we reveal that CPF forms additional contacts with RNA via the Fip1 subunit of the polyadenylation module and two subunits of the nuclease module. In addition, our data highlights the central role of the RNA helicase Mtl1 in RNA degradation by the exosome as mutations in Mtl1 lead to 16 disengagement of the exosome from RNA. We examine how routes of substrate access to the complex are affected upon mutation of exosome subunits. Our results provide important insights into how different components of the exosome contribute to engagement of the complex with substrate RNA. Overall, our data uncover how multi-subunit cellular machineries interact with RNA, on a proteome-wide scale.

RNA-seq of Schizosaccharomyces pombe nuclear RNA exosome mutants

Project description:Nuclear 3’ to 5’ nuclease RNA exosome plays a key role in quality control and processing of multiple protein-coding and non-coding transcripts made by RNA polymerase II. A mechanistic understanding of exosome function remains a challenge given the large number of RNA species and intervening RNA processing factors. Here we analysed changes in the poly(A)+ RNA proteins interactome provoked by mutations in three distinct subunits of the nuclear RNA exosome. Our data demonstrate a functional connection between Rrp6 and Mtl1 in controlling processing and levels of multiple protein-coding and non-coding transcripts. Furthermore, we show that exosome mutants accumulate components of U1 and U2 snRNPs and show depletion of NTC components from RNA suggesting that the stage prior to the activation of the spliceosome represents a critical quality control step. We have also identified potential new RNA binding factors involved in exosome regulation, including a zinc-finger protein called Mub1 that controls levels of selected transcripts encoding for proteins implicated in stress response. Collectively, our data have provided a global view of RNA metabolism alterations in exosome deficient cells and revealed RNA binding proteins that may act as novel exosome cofactors.
