Project description:Poly(A) tails are important elements in mRNA translation and stability. However, recent genome-wide studies concluded that poly(A) tail length was generally not associated with translational efficiency in non-embryonic cells. To investigate if poly(A) tail size might be coupled to gene expression in an intact organism, we used an adapted TAIL-seq protocol to measure poly(A) tails in Caenorhabditis elegans. Surprisingly, we found that well-expressed transcripts contain relatively short, well-defined tails. This attribute appears dependent on translational efficiency, as transcripts enriched for optimal codons and ribosome association had the shortest tail sizes, while non-coding RNAs retained long tails.

Project description:To obtain global data on polyadenylation of mRNAs, we fractionated the mRNAs according to their poly(A) tail length using a poly-U sepharose column followed by differential elution at five temperatures. Five mRNA fractions with distinct ranges of poly(A) tail length were then hybridized to microarrays using total eluate as a reference.

Project description:We applied Tail-end-displacement sequencing (TED-seq) for high-throughput profiling of poly(A) tail length dynamics induced by LPS stimulation in macrophage cells. We generate a time-course poly(A) tail length profiles in PMA-differentated THP-1 cells upon LPS stimulation (unstimulated, and post-stimulation 1, 2, and 4 h). This approach enabled us to profile induced poly(A) tail length dynamics with high accuracy and with 3´isoform resolution, generating a comprehensive view of poly(A) tail length dynamics induced upon an environmental signal in post-embryonic systems, and its biological implications.

Project description:During oocyte maturation and early embryonic development, poly(A)-tail lengths strongly influence mRNA translation. However, how tail lengths are controlled at different developmental stages has been unclear. Here, we performed tail-length and translational profiling of mRNA reporter libraries (each with > 10 million 3ʹ-UTR sequence variants) in frog oocytes and embryos, and fish embryos. These analyses revealed that the UUUUA motif specifies cytoplasmic polyadenylation and identified diverse context features that modulate the activity of this 5-mer. Additional sequence motifs drive stage-specific deadenylation in embryos, and UUUUA and C-rich motifs drive tail-length-independent translational repression in oocytes. A neural network model accurately predicts tail-length change during oocyte maturation in frogs, mice, and humans. Analyses of human sequence variants showed that those predicted to disrupt tail-length control have been under negative selection, implying that our insights into control of poly(A)-tail length and translation have implications for human health and fertility.

Project description:Poly(A) tail length is regulated in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. One factor that controls polyadenylation in the cytoplasm is CPEB1, an RNA binding protein that associates with specific mRNA 3’UTR sequences to tether enzymes that add and remove poly(A). Two of these enzymes, the noncanonical poly(A) polymerases Gld2 (TENT2, PAPD4, Wispy) and Gld4 (TENT4B, PAPD5, TRF4, TUT3), interact with CPEB1 to extend poly(A). To identify additional RNA binding proteins that might anchor Gld4 to RNA, we expressed double tagged Gld4 in U87MG cells, which was used for sequential immunoprecipitation and elution followed by mass spectrometry. We identified several RNA binding proteins that co-precipitated with Gld4, among which was FMRP. To assess whether FMRP regulates polyadenylation, we performed TAIL-seq from WT and FMRP-deficient HEK293 cells. Surprisingly, loss of FMRP resulted in an overall increase in poly(A), which was also observed for several specific mRNAs. Conversely, loss of CPEB1 elicited an expected decrease in poly(A), which was examined in cultured neurons. We also examined polyadenylation in wild type (WT) and FMRP-deficient mouse brain cortex by direct RNA Nanopore™ sequencing, which identified RNAs with both increased and decreased poly(A). Our data show that FMRP has a role in mediating poly(A) tail length, which adds to its repertoire of RNA regulation.

Project description:In animal oocytes and early embryos, mRNA poly(A)-tail length strongly influences translational efficiency (TE), but later in development this coupling between tail length and TE disappears. Here, we elucidate how this coupling is first established and why it disappears. Overexpressing cytoplasmic poly(A)-binding protein (PABPC) in frog oocytes specifically improved translation of short-tailed mRNAs, thereby diminishing coupling between tail length and TE. Thus, coupling requires limiting PABPC, implying that in coupled systems longer-tail mRNAs better compete for limiting PABPC. In addition to expressing excess PABPC, post-embryonic cells had two other properties that prevented strong coupling: terminal-uridylation-dependent destabilization of mRNAs lacking bound PABPC, and a regulatory regime wherein PABPC contributes minimally to TE. Thus, these results revealed three fundamental mechanistic requirements for coupling and defined the context-dependent functions for PABPC, in which this protein promotes TE but not mRNA stability in coupled systems and mRNA stability but not TE in uncoupled systems.

Project description:We report systematical profiling of translation efficiency and mRNA stability dependent on the dynamics of poly(A)-tail length in stress conditions of human cells. In this study, we developed a new feasible method measuring poly(A)-tail length called TED-seq and applied it to investigate the change of mRNA's poly(A)-tail lengths in ER stress pharmacologically induced by thapsigargin (THAP). Combined with other global RNA analyses such as RNA-seq, Ribo-seq and PRO-seq, we observed that ER stress induced lenthening poly(A)-tail length, in particular of ER-stress-regulators, upon ER stress. More specifically, these mRNAs are translationally de-repressed and more stabilized based on increase in poly(A)-tail length. We also identified that insoluble fractions which include stress-induced RNA-granules have overall shorter length of poly(A) tail. Taken together, our data suggest that poly(A)-tail lengths are dynamically regulated and influence both translation efficiency and mRNA stability in ER stress.

Project description:Nascent mRNA is endowed with a poly(A) tail, which is subject to gradual deadenylation in the cytoplasm, followed by mRNA degradation. Deadenylation and degradation rates are typically correlated, rendering it difficult to dissect the individual determinants governing each of these processes. In addition, the mechanistic basis for the coupling between deadenylation and degradation and the extent to which the two can be decoupled are largely unknown. Here we developed an approach allowing systematic, robust and multiplexed quantification of poly(A) tails. Our results suggest that in yeast, exclusively during meiosis, mRNA deadenylation and degradation rates are decoupled. The decoupled regime in meiosis allowed us to discover transcript length as a major determinant of deadenylation rates and as a key contributor to the reshaping of poly(A) tail lengths in meiosis. The meiosis-specific decoupling also led to unique positive associations between poly(A) tail length and gene expression. The decoupling of degradation from deadenylation is also strongly associated with a focal localization pattern of the RNA degradation factor Xrn1 and can be phenocopied by deletion of Xrn1 under non-meiotic conditions. Importantly, the association of transcript length with deadenylation rates is conserved across eukaryotes. This study uncovers a new factor that shapes deadenylation rate and discovers a unique context in which degradation is decoupled from deadenylation.
