Project description:How many RNA transcripts can induce degradation of microRNAs (miRNA) via the mechanism known as target-directed miRNA degradation (TDMD) is currently unknown. We developed TDMDfinder, a bioinformatics pipeline and webtool, which is based on combined sequence alignment and feature selection approaches to identify ‘high confidence’ TDMD interactions either in Human or Mouse transcriptomes. Predictions suggest that TDMD is widespread, and every miRNA is possibly under the control of endogenous targets. Experimental validations support the validity of TDMDfinder predictions with 49% accuracy, revealing novel endogenous TDMDs for miR-17, miR-19, miR-30, miR-221, miR-26 and miR-23 families. TDMD can selectively target specific miRNA family/cluster members. Features like complementarity to the miRNA 3’ region, bulge size and hybridization energy can explain the different sensitivity. A set of computational analyses performed using the multiomic TCGA platform support the involvement of TDMD in human cancer. Many TDMD transcripts showed significant anti-correlations with both miRNA levels and miRNA activity in multiple tumors and 36 highly significant Pan-cancer interactions were highlighted. A proof-of-principle TDMD-pair was experimentally dissected in breast cancer, showing that fully-functioning TDMD could impact on cancer phenotypes, such as mammosphere growth and resistance to drug treatment. Our tool unveils TDMD as a widespread mechanism and pinpoints it as new potential oncogenic mechanism.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) associate with Argonaute (AGO) proteins to direct widespread post-transcriptional gene repression. Although association with AGO typically protects miRNAs from nucleases, extensive pairing to some unusual target RNAs can trigger miRNA degradation. Here we found that this target-directed miRNA degradation (TDMD) required the ZSWIM8 Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase. This and other findings suggested and supported a mechanistic model of TDMD in which target-directed proteolysis of AGO by the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway exposes the miRNA for degradation. Moreover, loss-of-function studies indicated that the ZSWIM8 Cullin-RING ligase accelerates degradation of numerous miRNAs in cells of mammals, flies, and nematodes, thereby specifying the half-lives of most short-lived miRNAs. These results elucidate the mechanism of TDMD and expand the inferred role of TDMD in shaping miRNA levels in bilaterian animals.

Project description:We used HSUR1 – a small non-coding RNA from Herpesvirus saimiri that induces degradation of host miR-27 – to validate structural insights into target-directed miRNA degradation (TDMD). While performing systematic mutagenesis of HSUR1 we noticed that HSUR1 mutants exhibiting complementarity to the extreme 3' end of miR-27, lead to generation of extended miR-27 isoforms (isomiRs). These isomiRs likely represent failed products of TDMD and could mean that features of the pairing between the TDMD target and miRNA dictate which enzymes are recruited to modify the miRNA 3′ end. Small RNA sequencing revealed that a mixture of adenylates and uridylates is added to the 3′ end of miR-27 during TDMD.
