A hexamer tandem repeat RNA embedded within an SVA retrotransposon drives R-loop formation and neurodegeneration

Project description:Retroelement activation is emerging as a significant factor in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. SINE-VNTR-Alu (SVAs) are hominid-specific retroelements that create genetic variation through insertion polymorphisms and variable short tandem repeat (STR) lengths. We investigate how the SVA (CCCTCT)n STR contributes to the striatal neurodegenerative disorder X-linked Dystonia Parkinsonism (XDP), where the repeat expansion length within the pathogenic SVA is inversely correlated with disease onset age. Phenotypic and transcriptomic analysis of XDP and isogenic SVA-deleted striatal organoids revealed that the SVA insertion drives hallmarks of neurodegeneration, including transcriptional dysregulation, decreased neuronal activity, and apoptosis, which are ameliorated by SVA deletion. We identify a (AGAGGG)n hexamer-containing RNA in the SVA that increases expression during organoid maturation and drives R-loop formation in organoids and XDP brain tissue. Knockdown of the (AGAGGG)n hexamer-containing RNA by antisense oligonucleotides rescues apoptosis in the XDP organoids. We demonstrate that a retrotransposon-derived tandem repeat RNA could cause neurodegeneration.

G-quadruplexes within the SVA retrotransposon modulate TAF1 gene expression in X-linked Dystonia Parkinsonism [RNA-Seq]

Project description:X-linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease characterized by the antisense insertion of an SVA retrotransposon into the TAF1 gene, encoding for the largest subunit of the basal transcription factor TFIID, which is essential for RNA polymerase II activity. This SVA insertion has been associated with altered TAF1 expression levels, but the cause of this outcome and its link to the development of XDP remain unknown. Unique to the XDP SVA compared to other SVA retrotransposons in the human genome is the amplification of the (GGGAGA)n repeat domain, creating a unique G4-prone region, whose length correlates with age at onset and disease severity. By ChIP-seq and ChIP-qPCR with the anti-G4 antibody BG4, we assessed that G4s are present in the folded state in the XDP SVA of these cells. Using available G4 ligands, we demonstrated that stabilization of the XDP SVA G4s reduces TAF1 transcripts in the exons around and downstream of the SVA, while increasing the transcription of the upstream exons, possibly through a positive feedback loop.

Exon-trapping mediated by the human retrotransposon SVA.

Project description:Although most human retrotransposons are inactive, both inactive and active retrotransposons drive genome evolution and may influence transcription through various mechanisms. In humans, three retrotransposon families are still active, but one of these, SVA, remains mysterious. Here we report the identification of a new subfamily of SVA, which apparently formed after an alternative splicing event where the first exon of the MAST2 gene spliced into an intronic SVA and subsequently retrotransposed. Additional examples of SVA retrotransposing upstream exons due to splicing into SVA were also identified in other primate genomes. After molecular and computational experiments, we found a number of functional 3' splice sites within many different transcribed SVAs across the human and chimpanzee genomes. Using a minigene splicing construct containing an SVA, we observed splicing in cell culture, along with SVA exonization events that introduced premature termination codons (PTCs). These data imply that an SVA residing within an intron in the same orientation as the gene may alter normal gene transcription either by gene-trapping or by introducing PTCs through exonization, possibly creating differences within and across species.
