Project description:Thermostable Group II intron reverse transcriptase single-stranded DNA-seq

Project description:The quality of RNA sequencing data relies on specific priming by the primer used for reverse transcription (RT-primer). Non-specific annealing of the RT-primer to the RNA template can generate reads with incorrect cDNA ends and can cause misinterpretation of data (RT mispriming). This kind of artifact in RNA-seq based technologies is underappreciated and currently no adequate tools exist to computationally remove them from published datasets. We show that mispriming can occur with as little as 2 bases of complementarity at the 3' end of the primer followed by intermittent regions of complementarity. We propose an experimental solution to avoid RT-mispriming by performing RNA-seq using thermostable group II intron derived reverse transcriptase (TGIRT-seq).

Project description:Here we present dimethyl sulfate mutational profiling with sequencing (DMS-MaPseq), which encodes DMS modifications as mismatches using a thermostable group II intron reverse transcriptase (TGIRT). DMS-MaPseq yields a high signal-to-noise ratio, can report multiple structural features for each molecule, and allows genome-wide studies as well as focused investigations of low abundance RNAs. We apply DMS-MaPseq to Drosophila melanogaster ovaries—the first experimental analysis of RNA structure in an animal tissue—and demonstrate its utility in the discovery of a functional RNA structure involved in the non-canonical GUG translation initiation of the human FXR2 mRNA. Additionally, we use DMS-MaPseq to compare the in vivo structure of messages in their pre-mRNA and mature forms. These applications illustrate DMS-MaPseq’s capacity to dramatically expand our ability to monitor RNA structure in vivo.

Project description:Template switching by a group II intron reverse transcriptase: biochemical analysis and implications for RNA-seq
| PRJNA575026 | ENA
Project description:A wide range of sequencing methods have been developed to assess nascent RNA transcription and resolve the single-nucleotide position of RNA polymerase genome-wide. These techniques are often burdened with high input material requirements and lengthy protocols. We leveraged the template-switching properties of thermostable group II intron reverse transcriptase (TGIRT) and developed BuTT-Seq (BUlk analysis of nascent Transcript Termini sequencing), which can produce libraries from purified nascent RNA in 6 hours and from as few as 10,000 cells – an improvement of at least 10-fold over existing techniques. BuTT-Seq shows that inhibition of the superelongation complex (SEC) causes promoter-proximal pausing to move upstream in a fashion correlated with subnucleosomal fragments. To address transcriptional regulation in a tissue, BuTT-Seq was used to measure the circadian regulation of transcription from fly heads. All the results indicate that BuTT-Seq is a simple and powerful technique to analyze transcription at a high level of resolution.

Project description:5’ ends are important for determining the fate of RNA molecules. BCDIN3D is an RNA phospho-methyltransferase that methylates the 5’ monophosphate of specific RNAs. In order to gain new insights into the molecular function of BCDIN3D, we performed an unbiased analysis of its interacting RNAs by Thermostable Group II Intron Reverse Transcriptase coupled to next generation sequencing (TGIRT-seq). Our analyses showed that BCDIN3D interacts with full-length phospho-methylated tRNAHis and miR-4454. Interestingly, we found that miR-4455 is not synthesized from the annotated genomic locus, which is a primer-binding site for an endogenous retrovirus, but rather by Dicer cleavage of mature tRNAHis. Sequence analysis revealed that miR-4454 is identical to the 3’ end of tRNAHis. Moreover, we were able to generate this “miRNA” in vitro through incubation of mature tRNAHis with Dicer. As found previously for several pre-miRNAs, a 5’P-tRNAHis appears to be a better substrate for Dicer cleavage than a phospho-methylated tRNAHis. Moreover, tRNAHis 3’-fragment/”miR-4454” levels increase in cells depleted for BCDIN3D. Altogether, our results show that in addition to microRNAs, BCDIN3D regulates tRNAHis 3’-fragment processing without negatively affecting tRNAHis’s canonical function of aminoacylation.

Project description:Thermostable reverse transcriptases are workhorse enzymes underlying nearly all modern techniques for RNA structure mapping and for transcriptome-wide discovery of RNA chemical modifications. Despite their wide use, these enzymes’ behaviors at chemical modified nucleotides remain poorly understood. Wellington-Oguri et al. recently reported an apparent loss of chemical modification within putatively unstructured polyadenosine stretches modified by dimethyl sulfate or 2’ hydroxyl acylation, as probed by reverse transcription. Here, re-analysis of these and other publicly available data, capillary electrophoresis experiments on chemically modified RNAs, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy on A 12 and variants show that this effect is unlikely to arise from an unusual structure of polyadenosine. Instead, tests of different reverse transcriptases on chemically modified RNAs and molecules synthesized with single 1-methyladenosines implicate a previously uncharacterized reverse transcriptase behavior: near-quantitative bypass through chemical modifications within polyadenosine stretches. All tested natural and engineered reverse transcriptases (MMLV; SuperScript II, III, and IV; TGIRT-III; and MarathonRT) exhibit this anomalous bypass behavior. Accurate DMS-guided structure modeling of the polyadenylated HIV-1 3´ untranslated region RNA requires taking into account this anomaly. Our results suggest that poly(rA-dT) hybrid duplexes can trigger unexpectedly effective reverse transcriptase bypass and that chemical modifications in poly(A) mRNA tails may be generally undercounted.

Project description:The reverse transcriptases (RTs) encoded by mobile group II intron and other non-LTR-retro-elements differ from retroviral RTs in being able to template switch from the 5' end of one template to the 3' end of another without pre-existing complementarity between the donor and acceptor nucleic acids. Here, we used the ability of a thermostable group II intron RT (TGIRT) to template switch directly from synthetic RNA template/DNA primer duplexes having either a blunt end or a 3'-DNA overhang end to establish a complete kinetic framework for the reaction and identify conditions that more efficiently capture acceptor RNAs or DNAs. The rate and amplitude of template switching are optimal from starter duplexes with a single nucleotide 3'-DNA overhang complementary to the 3' nucleotide of the acceptor RNA, suggesting a role for non-templated nucleotide addition of a complementary nucleotide to the 3’ end of cDNAs synthesized from natural templates. Longer 3'-DNA overhangs progressively decrease the rate of template switching, even when complementary to the 3' end of the acceptor template. Although dependent upon only a single base pair between the donor and acceptor, template switching discriminates against mismatches, which coupled with the high processivity of the enzyme, enables the synthesis of full-length DNA copies of acceptor nucleic acids beginning directly at their 3' end. We discuss possible biological functions of the template-switching activity of group II intron and other non-LTR-retroelements RTs, as well as the optimization of this activity for adapter addition in RNA-and DNA-seq.

Project description:Laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma was histopathologically confirmed on 35 samples obtained by incisional biopsy. Total RNAs from frozen specimens were isolated using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen Corporation, Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturer protocol. RNA quality was verified by electrophoresis through agarose gel upon visualization with ethidium bromide and only RNA samples with a ratio >1 for 28S/18S ribosomal RNA were further processed. A two-round RNA amplification procedure was carried out. Normal larynx and hypopharynx samples was used as reference for hybridizations, these samples were processed in the same manner as tumor samples. Amplified RNA were then used in a transcriptase reverse reaction into cDNA in the presence of Cy3- or Cy5-labeled dCTP Keywords: other
