Project description:The DEAD-box RNA helicase Dbp2p is highly conserved in eukaryotes and has been implicated in transcription, ribosome biogenesis, mRNP assembly, nuclear export, and lncRNA function. How Dbp2p functions in these seemingly unrelated biological roles is not known. An important step towards addressing this question is the determination of cellular RNA binding sites of Dbp2p. Here, we identify transcriptome-wide RNA binding sites of Dbp2p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae using denaturing tandem affinity purification followed by UV-crosslinking. We find that Dbp2p crosslinks to mRNAs and ribosomal RNAs, and most markedly to non-coding RNAs, including snoRNA, snRNAs, and tRNAs. In snoRNAs, Dbp2p preferentially interacts with sites near the 3’ ends. These sites closely correspond to regions where RNA-DNA hybrids (R-loop) form, and to binding sites of the RNA helicase Sen1p, a component of the Nrd1-Nab3-Sen1 (NNS) complex, which functions in transcription termination and 3' processing of non-coding RNAs in yeast. We also show that Dbp2p interacts in an RNA-independent manner with Sen1p in vivo. We further observe Dbp2p crosslinks to tRNAs and other RNAs also at sites where RNA-loops form. Collectively, our data link Dbp2p to diverse non-coding RNAs, to Sen1p, and to R-loops. The transcriptome-wide connection to R-loops provides a unifying theme for seemingly unrelated cellular roles of Dbp2p.

Project description:Tripartite motif protein 25 (TRIM25) is an E3 ligase that ubiquitinates multiple substrates within the RLR signalling cascade and plays both RING (really interesting new gene)-dependent and RING-independent roles in RIG-I-mediated IFN induction. We report that the PRY-SPRY domain of TRIM25 interacts with the N-terminal extension (NTE) of DEAD-box helicase 3X (DDX3X), a host protein with multiple roles in RLR signalling. Gene reporter assays and knockdown studies reveal DDX3X and TRIM25 cooperate to activate the IFN- promoter following RIG-I activation independent of DDX3X’s catalytic activity. We also show that TRIM25 ubiquitinates DDX3X at several lysine residues in vitro and in cells.

Project description:Although DEAD-box helicase 41 (DDX41) is implicated in oncogenic and innate immune mechanisms, there are many unanswered questions about how the ever-increasing spectrum of genetic variants impacts DDX41 activity. Here, we describe a facile genetic rescue assay that discriminates activities of DDX41 from those of human myeloid malignancy-linked germline and somatic DDX41 mutants. Our analyses revealed that the variants were impaired in their intrinsic RNA-regulatory activities and to induce monocytic differentiation markers. It will be instructive to extend these analyses to more broadly conduct structure/function assessments for clinical genetic curation and leverage the quantitative assay to elucidate mechanisms and interventions that promote and/or oppose DDX41 function, thereby influencing DDX41-linked pathogenicity.

Project description:Organ-differential Regulation of Vascular Development by DEAD-box Helicase 24

Project description:How cells regulate gene expression in a precise spatiotemporal manner during organismal development is a fundamental question in biology. Although the role of transcriptional condensates in gene regulation has been established, little is known about the function and regulation of these molecular assemblies in the context of animal development and physiology. Here we show that the evolutionarily conserved DEAD-box helicase DDX-23 controls cell fate in Caenorhabditis elegans by binding to and facilitating the condensation of MAB-10, the Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of mammalian NGFI-A-binding (NAB) protein. MAB-10 is a transcriptional cofactor that functions with the early growth response (EGR) protein LIN-29 to regulate the transcription of genes required for exiting the cell cycle, terminal differentiation, and the larval-to-adult transition. We suggest that DEAD-box helicase proteins function more generally during animal development to control the condensation of NAB proteins important in cell identity and that this mechanism is evolutionarily conserved. In mammals, such a mechanism might underlie terminal cell differentiation and when misregulated might promote cancerous growth.

Project description:Ribonucleases (RNases) are central actors in post-transcriptional regulation, a major level of regulation of gene expression in all cells. This control plays an important role in the bacterial pathogen Helicobacter pylori, although only the function of RNase J was characterized so far. Here, we studied the RNase R enzyme from H. pylori, a 3’-5’ exoribonuclease whose ortholog in Escherichia coli was reported to display, in addition, helicase activity and to be able to hydrolyze RNA substrates with double stranded structures. We observed that HpRNase R protein does not carry the domains responsible for helicase activity in E. coli and accordingly that the purified protein is unable to degrade in vitro RNA molecules with secondary structures. The RNase R helicase domain loss is widespread among the Campylobacterota and occurred gradually during their evolution. Furthermore, an in vivo interaction between HpRNase R and RhpA, the sole DEAD-box RNA helicase of H. pylori, was discovered. Phylogenomics suggests that this interaction might occur in other bacteria of the phylum Campylobacterota. Purified RhpA facilitates the degradation of double stranded RNA substrates by HpRNase R, showing that this complex is functional. HpRNase R has a minor role of in 5S rRNA maturation and, as shown by RNA-Seq, few targets in H. pylori all of them being included in the RhpA regulon. In conclusion, we describe a new type of RNase R that lacks some of the features that were considered as hallmarks of RNase R proteins, but that has co-opted another RNA helicase, which we hypothesize helps it accomplish some of its functions in vivo.

Project description:Accurate gene expression requires the coordination of RNA processing with assembly of messenger RNA-protein (mRNP) complex. RNA helicases are a class of enzymes that unwind RNA duplexes in vitro and have been are proposed to remodel RNA structure in vivo. Herein, we provide evidence that the DEAD-box protein Dbp2 remodels RNA structure to facilitate efficient pre-mRNA processing in S. cerevisiae. First, we find that Dbp2 associates with the 3’ ends and 3’ splice-sites of mRNAs genome-wide. Using structure-seq to map RNA secondary structure, we find altered secondary structures in dbp2∆ cells that overlap polyadenylation elements and correlate with inefficient termination. We also identify a role for Dbp2 in pre-mRNA splicing and show that both splicing and termination require Dbp2 helicase activity. This reveals that DEAD-box RNA helicases unwind structure in vivo and that structural alteration of pre-mRNA is essential for proper gene expression.
