Project description:Glucose is an important cellular energy source, however, glucose’s function as a second messenger remains relatively unexplored. Here, we find that glucose binds directly to DDX21 to regulate its function during epidermal differentiation. Specifically, glucose binds to the ATP-binding domain of DDX21 to induce a conformational change and inhibit helicase activity. Glucose binding inhibits the dimerization of DDX21 leading to re-localization from the nucleolus to the nucleoplasm and reassembly of DDX21 into larger protein complexes, increasing its association with splicing factors. This occurs during keratinocyte differentiation, where glucose accumulation is necessary, and results in DDX21 binding to RNA processing proteins and mRNA introns. Consequently, DDX21 regulates the splicing of key differentiation factors and promotes epidermal differentiation in a glucose-dependent manner. These findings reveal a novel mechanism of glucose regulation of cell signaling.

Project description:DEAD-box RNA helicases are vital for the regulation of various aspects of the RNA life cycle, but the molecular underpinnings of their involvement, particularly in mammalian cells, remain poorly understood. Here we show that the DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX21 can sense transcriptional status of both RNA Pol I and Pol II to control transcriptional and post-transcriptional steps of ribosome biogenesis in human cells. We demonstrate that DDX21 widely associates with Pol I- and Pol II-transcribed genes and with diverse species of protein-coding and noncoding RNAs. Although broad, these molecular interactions, both at the chromatin and at the RNA level, exhibit a remarkable specificity for the ribosomal pathway. In the nucleolus, DDX21 occupies the transcribed rDNA locus, directly contacts both rRNA and snoRNAs and, as a functional component of the snoRNA ribonucleoprotein (snoRNP) complex, promotes modification of rRNA. In the nucleoplasm, DDX21 is incorporated into the 7SK snRNP complex, which facilitates DDX21 association with promoters of Pol II-transcribed genes encoding ribosomal proteins and snoRNAs. Promoter-bound DDX21 facilitates the release of P-TEFb from the 7SK snRNP, enhancing productive Pol II elongation. Altogether, we present a unifying mechanism for the coordinated regulation of ribosomal genes across nuclear compartments, and provide first evidence implicating a mammalian RNA helicase in RNA modification and Pol II elongation control.

Project description:Myriad of craniofacial disorders are caused by heterozygous mutations in general regulators of housekeeping cellular functions such as ribosome biogenesis. While it is understood that many of these highly tissue-specific malformations are a consequence of defects in cranial neural crest cells (cNCCs), an embryonic cell group that gives rise to most of the facial structures during embryogenesis, the mechanism underlying cell type-selectivity of these effects remains largely unknown. Here we show that DDX21, a DEAD-box RNA helicase involved in control of both RNA polymerase (Pol) I and Pol II dependent transcriptional arms of ribosome biogenesis, is a key mediator of the nucleolar stress response. Using an in vitro model of Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS), a craniofacial disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in components of the Pol I transcriptional machinery, we demonstrate that perturbations in ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcription induce DDX21-mediated surveillance mechanism in cNCCs, leading to DDX21 relocalization from the nucleolus to the nucleoplasm, its eviction from Pol I and Pol II chromatin targets and inhibition of rRNA processing. Importantly, these effects are cell type-selective, cell-autonomous and involve activation of the p53 pathway. We further show that cNCCs are characterized by the inherently high reservoir of p53 mRNA and sensitivity to p53-mediated apoptosis. Remarkably, preventing the loss of DDX21 from nucleolus and chromatin can rescue both the sensitivity to apoptosis and TCS-associated craniofacial phenotypes in vivo. This mechanism is not restricted to TCS, as gene function perturbations linked to other ribosomopathies with craniofacial manifestations also lead to the activation of DDX21 surveillance. Lastly, we provide evidence that inhibition of rRNA synthesis leads to rDNA damage, and furthermore, that rDNA damage is sufficient to activate DDX21 surveillance and elicits tissue-selective and dosage-dependent effects on craniofacial development in vivo.
