U2AF2 controls alternative splicing in speckles proximal regions in an RS domain-dependent manner

ABSTRACT: Splicing factor U2AF2 is known to play a pivotal role for 3' splice site recognition at an early step of spliceosome assembly. Here using proximity labeling and biochemical confirmations, we extend the repertoire of putative functional partners of U2AF2 mainly for splicing, chromatin modification, transcription, 3' end processing and RNA methylation. Removal of its RS domain alters numerous of these interactions, reduces its localisation in speckles and impacts splicing genome wide in a manner that depends both on splicing signals and on introns length. Indeed cassette exon flanked by short introns in genes or transcripts located closed to speckles are the most affected by U2AF2 knockdown or RS domain removal. Interestingly, our bioinformatic analyses further reveal that alternative splicing in general mainly occurs near speckles. Finally, we show that multiple phosphorylation sites within the U2AF2 RS domain are required for normal splicing, suggesting that its RS domain mediates U2AF2 regulations. Altogether our data indicate that U2AF2 is in limiting amount to ensure cassette exon inclusion near speckles and give a novel insight on the mechanism of alternative splicing.

Profiling lariat intermediates reveals genetic determinants of early and late co-transcriptional splicing

Project description:Long introns with short exons in vertebrate genes are thought to require spliceosome assembly across exons (exon definition), rather than introns, thereby requiring transcription of an exon to splice an upstream intron. Here, we developed CoLa-seq (co-transcriptional lariat sequencing) to investigate the timing and determinants of co-transcriptional splicing genome wide. Unexpectedly, 90% of all introns, including long introns, can splice before transcription of a downstream exon, indicating that exon definition is not obligatory for most human introns. Still, splicing timing varies dramatically across introns, and various genetic elements determine this variation. Strong U2AF2 binding to the polypyrimidine tract predicts early splicing, explaining exon definition-independent splicing. Together, our findings question the essentiality of exon definition and reveal features beyond intron and exon length that are determinative for splicing timing.

Systematic mapping of nuclear domain-associated transcripts reveals speckles and lamina as hubs of functionally distinct retained introns

Project description:The nucleus is highly compartmentalized through the formation of distinct classes of membraneless domains, yet the composition and function of many of these structures is not well understood. Using APEX2-mediated proximity labelling and RNA sequencing, we surveyed transcripts associated with nuclear speckles, several additional domains, and the lamina. Remarkably, speckles and lamina are associated with distinct classes of retained introns enriched in genes that function in RNA processing, translation, and the cell cycle. In contrast to the lamina-proximal introns, retained introns associated with speckles are relatively short, GC-rich, and enriched for functional sites of RNA binding proteins that are concentrated in these domains. They are also highly differentially regulated across diverse cellular contexts, including the cell cycle. Our study thus provides a resource of nuclear domain-associated transcripts and further reveals speckles and lamina as hubs of distinct populations of retained introns linked to gene regulation and cell cycle progression.

Dynamics of RNA localization to nuclear speckles are connected to splicing efficiency [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Nuclear speckles, a type of membraneless nuclear organelle in higher eukaryotic cells, play a vital role in gene expression regulation. Using the reverse transcription-based RBP binding sites sequencing (ARTR-seq) method, we study human transcripts associated with nuclear speckles. We identify three gene groups whose transcripts demonstrate different speckle localization properties and dynamics – stably enriched in nuclear speckle post-transcriptionally, transiently enriched in speckles at the pre-mRNA stage co-transcriptionally, and not enriched in speckles. We show that nuclear speckles specifically facilitate splicing of speckle-enriched transcripts. We further reveal RNA sequence features contributing to transcript speckle localization, underscoring a tight interplay between genome organization, RNA cis-elements, and transcript speckle enrichment, and connecting transcript speckle localization with splicing logic. Finally, we show that speckles can act as hubs for the regulated retention of introns during cellular stress. Collectively, our data highlight a role of nuclear speckles in both co- and post-transcriptional splicing regulation.

Regulation of alternative cleavage and polyadenylation by 3’ end processing and splicing factors

Project description:Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) results in mRNA isoforms containing different 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs) and/or coding sequences. How core cleavage and polyadenylation (C/P) factors regulate APA is not well understood. Using siRNA knockdown coupled with deep sequencing, we found that several C/P factors can play significant roles in 3’UTR-APA. Whereas Pcf11 and Fip1 enhance usage of proximal poly(A) sites (pAs), CFI-25/68, PABPN1, and PABPC1 promote usage of distal pAs. Strong cis element biases were found for pAs regulated by CFI or Fip1, and the distance between pAs plays an important role in APA regulation. In addition, intronic pAs are substantially regulated by splicing factors, with U1 mostly influencing C/P events in 5’ introns and U2 impacting those in efficiently spliced introns. Furthermore, PABPN1 regulates expression of transcripts with pAs near the transcription start site, a property possibly related to its role in RNA degradation. Finally, we found that groups of APA events regulated by C/P factors are also modulated in cell differentiation and development with distinct trends. Together, our results indicate that the abundance of different C/P factors and splicing factors plays diverse roles in APA, and is relevant to APA regulation in biological conditions. knockdown experiments of 23 C/P factors, 3 splicing factors and U1D in mouse C2C12 myoblast cells

Nuclear Speckles enable processing of RNA from GC-rich Isochores [Pore-C]

Project description:Nuclear Speckles are large, multi-component condensates in the mammalian nuclei that are thought to be involved in various stages of gene expression, including transcription, splicing, and export. Investigating the direct role of Speckles in these processes have been intractable due to their heterogeneous, multi-component nature. Here we show that Speckles are necessary for the splicing of GC-rich genes with short introns clustered within GC-rich isochores (levelled intron/exon architecture). Acute removal of Speckles leads to a drastic downregulation of this class of genes, whereas genes outside these domains are physically away from Speckles and are not affected from loss of Speckles. Animal genomes that do not have GC-rich isochores, do not have GC-rich levelled intron/exon architecture and do not have Speckles. Our results suggest that the expansion of Speckles core proteins’ intrinsically disordered domains during vertebrate evolution facilitated GC-content elevation in Amniotes by creating a condensate necessary to splice the by-products of this process: GC-rich, levelled intron/exon architecture.

Co-transcriptional splicing efficiencies differ within genes and between cell types

Project description:Pre-mRNA splicing is carried out by the spliceosome and involves splice site recognition, removal of introns, and ligation of exons. Components of the spliceosome have been shown to interact with the elongating RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), which is thought to allow splicing to occur concurrently with transcription. However, little is known about the regulation and efficiency of cotranscriptional splicing in human cells. In this study, we used Bru-seq and BruChase-seq to determine the cotranscriptional splicing efficiencies of 17,000 introns expressed across six human cell lines. We found that less than half of all introns across these six cell lines were cotranscriptionally spliced. Splicing efficiencies for individual introns showed variations across cell lines, suggesting that splicing may be regulated in a cell type–specific manner. Moreover, the splicing efficiency of introns varied within genes. The efficiency of cotranscriptional splicing did not correlate with gene length, intron position, splice site strengths, or the intron/neighboring exons GC content. However, we identified binding signals from multiple RNA binding proteins (RBPs) that correlated with splicing efficiency, including core spliceosomal machinery components—such as SF3B4, U2AF1, and U2AF2 showing higher binding signals in poorly spliced introns. In addition, multiple RBPs, such as BUD13, PUM1, and SND1, showed preferential binding in exons that flank introns with high splicing efficiencies. The nascent RNA splicing patterns presented here across multiple cell types add to our understanding of the complexity in RNA splicing, wherein RNA-binding proteins may play important roles in determining splicing outcomes in a cell type– and intron-specific manner.

Nuclear speckles enable processing of RNA from GC-rich isochores

Project description:Nuclear speckles are conserved, membrane-less organelles linked to various post-transcriptional processes. Here, we examined their roles in human cells by engineered, acute removal of SON and SRRM2, two conserved speckle core components characterized by intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs). Their removal results in a significant downregulation of GC-rich genes with short introns clustered within GC-rich isochores, caused by inefficient and chaotic splicing; in contrast, expression or splicing of genes outside these isochores remains unaffected. Comparative analysis across eukaryotes, from fungi to mammals, reveals that both GC-rich isochores and speckles are found exclusively in amniotes; moreover, the IDRs of SON have undergone notable expansion in the latter. Together, these findings suggest that the expansion of IDRs in vertebrates facilitated an increase in GC content by creating a condensate essential for splicing the by-products of this process: GC-rich, levelled exon-intron architectures.

FUBP1 is a core splicing factor that facilitates 3' splice site recognition and splicing of long introns [In vitro iCLIP]

Project description:Splicing is a central process in metazoans and greatly expands their proteome by alternative splicing of pre-mRNA transcripts. An essential regulatory step during early spliceosome assembly is the recognition of cis-regulatory RNA motifs in pre-mRNAs. Here, we identified the RNA binding protein FUBP1 as a novel core splicing factor with a ubiquitous footprint on pre-mRNAs. FUBP1 binds to a previously unknown cis-regulatory motif upstream of the branch point of human introns. We show that FUBP1 binds and stabilises known 3' splice site components such as the essential splicing factor U2AF2. FUBP1 mutant cell lines and patient data indicate that FUBP1 is particularly relevant for efficient splicing of exons flanked by long introns. In addition to its role at the 3’ splice site, FUBP1 shows multiple interactions with U1 snRNP- associated proteins. This demonstrates an important role for FUBP1 in splice site bridging in the context of long introns.
