Project description:In C. elegans nematodes, components of liquid-like germ granules were shown to be required for transgenerational small RNA inheritance. Surprisingly, we show here that mutants with defective germ granules can nevertheless inherit potent small RNA-based silencing responses, but some of the mutants lose this ability after many generations of homozygosity. Animals mutated in pptr-1, which is required for stabilization of P granules in the early embryo, display extraordinarily strong heritable RNAi responses, lasting for tens of generations. Intriguingly, the RNAi capacity of descendants derived from mutants defective in the core germ granules proteins MEG-3 and MEG-4 is determined by the genotype of the ancestors, and changes transgenerationally. Further, whether the meg-3/4 mutant alleles were present in the paternal or maternal lineages lead to different transgenerational consequences. Small RNA inheritance, rather than maternal contribution of the germ granules themselves, mediates the transgenerational defects in RNAi of meg-3/4 mutants and their progeny. Accordingly, germ granule defects lead to heritable genome-wide mis-expression of endogenous small RNAs. Upon disruption of germ granules, hrde-1 mutants can inherit RNAi although HRDE-1 was previously thought to be absolutely required for RNAi inheritance. We propose that germ granules sort and shape the RNA pool, and that small RNA inheritance maintains this activity for multiple generations.

Project description:Cell division ensures that both genetic information and non-genetic contents are inherited by daughter cells. Whereas considerable detail has been learned about the processing of intact or damaged DNA during the cell cycle (Branzei & Foiani, 2008; Klaasen et al., 2022),(Bakhoum & Cantley, 2018),(Hustedt & Durocher, 2016), how daughter cells deal with other forms of inherited damage is unknown. Here we identified a special kind of cytoplasmic granules responsible for the compartmentalisation of parental RNA damage. We found that ultraviolet (UV)-induced RNA, but not DNA, damage triggered assembly of this unique type of granules characterized by the presence of RNA helicase DHX9. By developing a novel methodology, FANCI, we discovered that DHX9 granules are enriched in damaged intron RNA and pre-mRNA-binding proteins, which is in contrast to other classical stress granules (SGs) that are composed of mature mRNA. Intron damage impeded proper splicing and intron decay, and induced generation of circRNA and dsRNA in the granules. Moreover, we showed that intron damage induced DHX9 granules assembled specifically in postmitotic daughter cells and triggered a cellular dsRNA immune response. Condensation with dsRNA is crucial for DHX9 localization to the granules and the modulation of dsRNA in these granules by DHX9 was crucial for daughter cell survival. Our observations revealed that DHX9 granules constitute a dedicated non-membrane-bound cytoplasmic compartment that protects daughter cells from parental damaged RNA.

Project description:P granules in C. elegans are required for fertility and function to maintain germ cell identity and pluripotency. Sterility in the absence of P granules is often accompanied by the mis-expression of soma-specific proteins and the initiation of somatic differentiation in germ cells. To investigate whether this is caused by the accumulation of somatic transcripts, we performed mRNA-seq on dissected germlines with and without P granules. Strikingly, we found that somatic transcripts do not increase in the young adult germline when P granules are impaired. Instead, we found that impairing P granules causes sperm-specific mRNAs to become highly overexpressed. This includes the accumulation of major sperm protein (MSP) transcripts in germ cells, a phenotype that is suppressed by feminization of the germline. A core component of P granules, the endo-siRNA-binding Argonaute protein CSR-1, has recently been ascribed with the ability to license transcripts for germline expression. However, impairing CSR-1 has very little effect on the accumulation of its mRNA targets. Instead, we found that CSR-1 functions with P granules to prevent MSP and sperm-specific mRNAs from being transcribed in the hermaphrodite germline. These findings suggest that P granules protect germline integrity through two different mechanisms, by 1) preventing the inappropriate expression of somatic proteins at the level of translational regulation, and by 2) functioning with CSR-1 to limit the domain of sperm-specific expression at the level of transcription. Four biological replicates of each condition (empty vector control, P granule RNAi, and CSR-1 RNAi germlines) were collected for total RNA.

Project description:Germ granules are membrane-less organelles essential for small RNA biogenesis and germline development. Among the conserved properties of germ granules is their association with the nuclear membrane. Recent studies demonstrated that LOTUS domain proteins, EGGD-1 and EGGD-2 (also known as MIP-1 and MIP-2 respectively), promote the formation of perinuclear germ granules in C. elegans. This finding presents a unique opportunity to evaluate the significance of perinuclear localization of germ granules. Here we show that loss of eggd-1 causes the coalescence of germ granules and formation of abnormal cytoplasmic aggregates. Impairment of perinuclear granules affects certain germline classes of small RNAs including Piwi-interacting RNAs. Transcriptome profiling reveals overexpression of spermatogenic and cuticle-related genes in eggd-1 hermaphrodites. We further demonstrate that disruption of germ granules activates HLH-30-mediated transcriptional program in somatic tissues. Collectively, our findings underscore the essential role of EGGD-1 in germ granule organization and reveal an unexpected germ granule-to-soma communication.

Project description:Stress granules are small RNA-protein granules that modify the translational landscape during cellular stress to promote survival. The RhoGTPase RhoA is implicated in the formation of RNA stress granules. Our data demonstrate that the cytokinetic proteins ECT2 and AurkB are localized to stress granules in human astrocytoma cells. AurkB and its downstream target histone-3 are phosphorylated during arsenite-induced stress. Chemical (AZD1152-HQPA) and siRNA inhibition of AurkB results in fewer and smaller stress granules when analyzed utilizing high throughput fluorescent based cellomics assays. RNA immunoprecipitation with the known stress granule aggregates TIAR and G3BP1 was performed on astrocytoma cells and subsequent analysis revealed that astrocytoma stress granules harbour unique mRNAs for various cellular pathways including cellular migration, metabolism, translation and transcriptional regulation. Human astrocytoma cell stress granules contain mRNA that are known to be involved in glioma signaling and the mTOR pathway. These data provide evidence that RNA stress granules are a novel form of epigenetic regulation in astrocytoma cells, which may be targetable by chemical inhibitors and enhance astrocytoma susceptiblity to conventional therapy such as radiation and chemotherapy. Astrocytoma cells were either untreated or treated with arsenite to induce stress granule formation and RNA immunoprecipitates were analyzed by exon array analysis. RNA species that were enriched in TIAR RIPs and G3BP1 RIPS, respectively were compared to compared to TIAR and G3BP1 RIPs from untreated cells and input controls. Ingenuity pathway analysis was performed on the stress granule enriched mRNAs from the TIAR and G3BP1 RIPs to identify significant functional biology networks.

Project description:Germ granules are biomolecular condensates that promote germ cell totipotency in most, if not all, animals. In C. elegans, MEG-3 and MEG-4 are two intrinsically disordered proteins that are redundantly required for the phase separations that drive germ granule assembly in germline blastomeres. Here, we show that animals lacking MEG-3/4 exhibit defects in dsRNA-mediated gene silencing (RNAi) that are due, at least in part, to defects in systemic RNAi. Interestingly, these RNAi defects are transgenerationally disconnected from meg-3/4 genotype: RNAi defects do not arise until 5-9 generations after animals become mutant for meg-3/4, and RNAi defects persist for 9-11 generations after meg-3/4 genotype is restored to wild type. Similar non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance are associated with other mutations that disrupt germ granule formation, indicating that germ granule disruption is the likely cause of genotype/phenotype disconnects. Loss of germ granules is associated with the production of aberrant populations of endogenous siRNAs, which, remarkably, are propagated for ≅10 generations in wild-type descendants of animals that lacked germ granules. sid-1, which encodes a factor required for systemic RNAi in C. elegans, is inappropriately and heritably silenced by aberrantly expressed sid-1 endogenous siRNAs, suggesting that transgenerational silencing of sid-1 likely underlies the heritable defect in RNAi. We conclude that one function of germ granules is to organize RNA-based epigenetic inheritance pathways and that failure to assemble germ granules has consequences that persist across many generations.
