Project description:The transcriptome of eukaryotic cells is constantly monitored for errors to avoid the production of undesired protein variants. The evolutionarily conserved nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway degrades aberrant mRNAs, but also functions in the regulation of transcript abundance in response to changed physiological states. As a result of its essential functions, only few animal models of impaired NMD activity have been developed. Here, we describe a zebrafish mutant of upf1, encoding the central component of the NMD machinery. Fish homozygous for the upf1t20450 allele (Y163X) survive until day 10 after fertilization, presenting with impaired T cell development as one of the most conspicuous features of the mutant phenotype. Analysis of differentially expressed genes identified dysregulation of the pre-mRNA splicing pathway, accompanied by perturbed auto-regulation of canonical splicing activators (SRSF) and repressors (HNRNP). In upf1-deficient mutants, NMD-susceptible transcripts of ribosomal proteins that are known for their role as non-canonical splicing regulators were greatly increased, most notably, rpl10a. When the levels of NMD-susceptible rpl10a transcripts were artifically increased in zebrafish morphants, T cell development was significantly impaired, suggesting that perturbed autoregulation of rpl10a splicing contributes to failing T cell development in upf1 deficiency. Our results identify an extra-ribosomal tissue-specific function to rpl10a in the immune system, and thus exemplify the advantages of the zebrafish model to study the effects of upf1-deficiency in the context of a vertebrate organism.

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne virus that can have dramatic neurodevelopmental consequences when infection occurs in utero. Previous studies demonstrated that ZIKV downregulates the master regulator of nonsense mediated decay, UPF1. To examine whether this process contributes to disruption of neural development, we investigated the effect of ZIKV infection on UPF1 interaction with host RNA in neural progenitor cells. Here, we show that ZIKV-mediated disruption of UPF1 function in neural progenitor cells causes retention of mRNA in the nucleus, resulting in decreased protein levels of specific transcripts involved in neural differentiation.

Project description:To identify high-confidence NMD targets in mouse N2A neuroblastoma cells, we used our established transcriptome-wide RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) methodologies. Through parallel analyses of RNA-seq upon UPF1-knockdown (KD) and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP-seq) footprinting of p-UPF1-bound RNAs, we identified 1027 high-confidence neuronal NMD targets.

Project description:UPF1 is an ATP-driven RNA helicase required for efficient nonsense mediated mRNA decay in eukaryotes. Although it is currently understood that UPF1 primarily acts on the 3’UTR of translating mRNAs in the cytoplasm, our data indicates that this is a highly dynamic protein that is rapidly shuttling between nucleus and cytoplasm in Drosophila. Additionally, ChIP-seq analysis in different cell types demonstrates genome-wide association of UPF1 with nascent RNAs at most of the active Pol II transcription sites, and at some specific Pol III genes. Notably, intron recognition appears to interfere with association and translocation of UPF1 on nascent transcripts. Cells depleted of UPF1 show defects in nuclear processes such as mRNA export and transcription site retention. These data, thus redefine UPF1 as a global player in mRNA based processes in the nucleus as well as the cytoplasm.

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) controls the quality of eukaryotic gene expression and also degrades physiologic mRNAs. How NMD targets are identified is incompletely understood. A central NMD factor is the ATP-dependent RNA helicase UPF1. Neither the distance in space between the termination codon and the poly(A) tail nor the binding of steady-state, largely hypophosphorylated UPF1 is a discriminating marker of cellular NMD targets, unlike for PTC-containing reporter mRNAs when compared to their PTC-free counterparts. Here, we map phosphorylated UPF1 (p-UPF1) binding sites using transcriptome-wide footprinting or DNA oligonucleotide-directed mRNA cleavage to report that p-UPF1 provides the first reliable cellular NMD-target marker. p-UPF1 is enriched on NMD target 3'UTRs along with SMG5 and SMG7 but not SMG1 or SMG6. Immunoprecipitations of UPF1 variants deficient in various aspects of the NMD process in parallel with FRET experiments reveal that ATPase/helicase-deficient UPF1 manifests high levels of RNA binding and disregulated hyperphosphorylation, whereas wild-type UPF1 releases from nonspecific RNA interactions in an ATP hydrolysis-dependent mechanism until an NMD target is identified. 3'UTR-associated UPF1 undergoes regulated phosphorylation on NMD targets, providing a binding platform for mRNA degradative activities. p-UPF1 binding to NMD target 3'UTRs is stabilized by SMG5 and SMG7. Our results help to explain why steady-state UPF1 binding is not a marker for cellular NMD substrates and how this binding is transformed to induce mRNA decay. RIP-seq experiments for p-UPF1, control IPs using rabbit IgG and additional control sample without IP were performed in duplicates

Project description:DNA/RNA helicase Upf1 seems to interact with axonal transcripts in response to nerve growth factor (NGF, A. Ludanyi, M. Gaspari and A. Riccio, unpublished data). In order to shed light on Upf1 mechanism of action and to identify potential associations with molecules having cleavage activity, we performed an AP-MS experiment comprising Upf1 immunoprecipitation, on-beads digestion, isotopic labelling (18O) and quantitative LC-MS/MS analysis.

Project description:Two RNA binding proteins, UPF1 and LIN28A, have well-known functions in posttranscriptional regulations and stem cell differentiation. Most studies on UPF1 and LIN28A have focused on the molecular mechanism in differentiated cells and stem cell differentiation, respectively. We revealed that LIN28A directly interacts with UPF1, which happens before UPF1 forms a complex with UPF2, thereby resulting in the reduction of UPF1 phosphorylation and inhibition of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Our studies reveal that cell fate is determined by transcriptome regulation through UPF1-LIN28A interaction in hPSCs.
