Project description:Pumilio proteins are RNA-binding proteins that control mRNA translation and stability by binding to the 3' UTR of target mRNAs. Mammals have two canonical Pumilio proteins, PUM1 and PUM2, which are known to act in many biological processes, including embryonic development, neurogenesis, cell cycle regulation and genomic stability. Here, we characterized a new role of both PUM1 and PUM2 in regulating cell morphology, migration, and adhesion in T-REx-293 cells, in addition to previously known defects in growth rate. Gene ontology analysis of differentially expressed genes in PUM double knockout (PDKO) cells for both cellular component and biological process showed enrichment in categories related to adhesion and migration. PDKO cells had a collective cell migration rate significantly lower than that of WT cells and displayed changes in actin morphology. In addition, during growth, PDKO cells aggregated into clusters (clumps) due to an inability to escape cell-cell contacts. Addition of extracellular matrix (Matrigel) alleviated the clumping phenotype. Collagen IV (ColIV), a major component of Matrigel, was shown to be the driving force in allowing PDKO cells to monolayer appropriately, however, ColIV protein levels remained unperturbed in PDKO cells. This study characterizes a novel cellular phenotype associated with cellular morphology, migration, and adhesion which can aid in developing better models for PUM function in both developmental processes and disease.

Project description:Folding of the mammalian cerebral cortex into sulcal fissures and gyral peaks is the result of complex processes that are incompletely understood. Previously we showed that genetic deletion of Flrt1/3 adhesion molecules causes folding of the smooth mouse cortex into sulci resulting from increased lateral dispersion and faster neuron migration, without progenitor expansion. Here, we find that combining the Flrt1/3 double knockout with an additional genetic deletion that causes progenitor expansion, greatly enhances cortex folding. Expansion of intermediate progenitors by deletion of Cep83 results in enhanced formation of sulci. Expansion of apical progenitors by deletion of Fgf10 results in enhanced formation of gyri. Single cell transcriptomics and simulations suggest that changes in adhesive properties of cortical neurons, their proportions and densities in the cortical plate, combined with lateral dispersion during their radial migration are important folding parameters. These results identify key developmental mechanisms that cooperate to promote cortical gyrification

Project description:The regulation of flocculation, surface adhesion and invasive growth in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has focused primarily at the transcriptional level, but little is known with regards to posttranscriptional control. Here, we identified the Pumilio protein Pfr1 as a novel posttranscriptional regulator of these processes. Deletion of pfr1+ prevented flocculation, surface adhesion and invasive growth under inducing conditions, while overexpression of pfr1+ was sufficient to trigger flocculation. The flocculent phenotype of pfr1+ overexpression was dependent on the presence of the Gsf2 flocculin, but not on the Mbx2, Cbf12 and Adn3 transcription factors. In addition, we used RNA immunoprecipitation and expression microarrays to identify pvg1+ and SPBPB7E8.01, which encode a galactose pyruvyltransferase and glycophosphatidylinositol membrane protein, respectively, as putative mRNA targets potentially degraded by Pfr1. The mRNAs of these genes were upregulated and downregulated in the pfr1 deletion and overexpression strains, respectively, and contained putative binding sites in the 3â-untranslated region. We also discovered that ccr4+ and ste13+, which encode components of the mRNA decay machinery, were required for these processes, but did not suppress the pfr1+ overexpression flocculent phenotype when deleted. This data suggest that these processes in S. pombe involve multiple posttranscriptional-regulatory pathways of which one requires Pfr1. We generated 2 overexpression microarrays with dye swap that were biological replicates, 2 deletion microarrys with dye swap. Mutants samples were compared to empty vector control or wild type. 1 RIP-chip array was generated with IP rna compared to total RNA from the sample.

Project description:Purpose: PUMILIO proteins are known to repress target genes by specifically binding to PUMILIO response elements (PREs) in target mRNAs. NORAD is a noncoding RNA that negatively regulates PUMILIO activity. The goal of this study was to determine the gene expression changes that result from knockout of NORAD or overexpression of PUMILIO and to test whether NORAD knockout causes PUMILIO hyperactivity. Methods: RNA-seq libraries were prepared using the TruSeq Stranded Total RNA with Ribo-Zero Human/Mouse/Rat Sample Preparation kit (Illumina) and sequenced using the 100 bp paired-end protocol on an Illumina HiSeq 2000. For comparing NORAD+/+ and NORAD-/- HCT116 cells, 3 biological replicates per genotype were sequenced. For PUM overexpression experiments, 3 replicates of GFP-expressing HCT116 cells (negative control) and 2 independent PUM1- or PUM2-overexpressing clones (2 replicates each) were sequenced. Results: Gene expression profiles show that PUMILIO target genes are downregulated in both NORAD knockout cells and PUMILIO overexpressing cells. Conclusions: These data indicate that NORAD sequesters PUMILIO, preventing excessive repression of PUMILIO target genes that are important for maintaining genomic stability.
