Project description:Inverted Alu repeats (IRAlus) are abundantly found in the transcriptome, especially in introns and 3′ UTRs. Yet, the biological significance of IRAlus embedded in 3′ UTRs remains largely unknown. Here, we find that 3′ UTR IRAlus silence genes involved in essential signaling pathways. We utilize J2 antibody to directly capture and map the double-stranded RNA structure of 3′ UTR IRAlus in the transcriptome. Bioinformatic analysis reveals alternative polyadenylation as a major axis of IRAlus-mediated gene regulation. Notably, the expression of mouse double minute 2 (MDM2), an inhibitor of p53, is upregulated by the exclusion of IRAlus during UTR shortening, which is exploited to silence p53 during tumorigenesis. Moreover, the transcriptome-wide UTR lengthening in neural progenitor cells results in the global downregulation of genes associated with neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, via IRAlus inclusion. Our study establishes the functional landscape of 3′ UTR IRAlus and its role in human pathophysiology.

Project description:Biogenesis of circular RNA usually involves a backsplicing reaction where the downstream donor site is ligated to the upstream acceptor site by the spliceosome. For this reaction to occur, it is hypothesized that these two sites must be in proximity. Inverted repeat sequences, such as Alu elements, in the upstream and downstream introns are predicted to base-pair and represent one mechanism for inducing proximity. Here, we investigate the pre-mRNA structure of the human HIPK3 gene, specifically exon 2, which forms a circular RNA via backsplicing. We leverage multiple chemical probing techniques, including the recently developed SHAPE-JuMP strategy, to characterize both secondary and tertiary interactions in the pre-mRNA that govern backsplicing. Our data confirm that the antisense Alu elements, AluSz(-) and AluSq2(+) in the upstream and downstream introns, form a highly-paired interaction. Circularization requires formation of long-range Alu-mediated base pairs but does not require the full-length AluSq2(+). In addition to confirming long-range base pairs, our SHAPE-JuMP data also identified multiple long-range interactions between non-pairing nucleotides. Genome wide analysis of inverted repeats flanking circular RNAs confirm that their presence favors circularization, but the overall effect is modest. Together these results suggest that secondary structure considerations alone cannot fully explain backsplicing and that additional interactions are key components of the mechanism.

Project description:Weaker CEBPA binding in the human than in the mouse genome is a general trait of the human genome across multiple biological conditions. Alu repeats carry strong CEBPA binding motifs, which compete with regulatory regions for CEBPA binding. To directly test this hypothesis, we attempted to overcome Alu competition by using, first, a CRISPR-dCas9 system in BLaER1 cells (Rapino et al. 2013). By promoting the recruitment of the inactive Cas9 to Alu regions with specific gRNAs targeting Alu repeats containing strong CEBPA motifs we protected them, hampering CEBPA binding to these regions. We tested the effect of two different paired gRNA constructs in two replicates and one control paired gRNA in two replicates. Second, we also further overexpressed CEBPA in human BLaER1 cells to overcome Alu competition. We tested two doses of CEBPA overexpression in two replicates and one control experiment in two replicates.

Project description:DNA replication errors are a major driver of evolutionâ??from single nucleotide polymorphisms to large-scale copy number variations (CNVs). Here we test a specific replication-based model to explain the generation of interstitial, inverted triplications. While no genetic information is lost, the novel inversion junctions and increased copy number of the included sequences create the potential for adaptive phenotypes. The modelâ??Origin-Dependent Inverted-Repeat Amplification (ODIRA)â??proposes that a replication error at pre-existing short, interrupted, inverted repeats in genomic sequences generates an extrachromosomal, inverted dimeric, autonomously replicating intermediate; subsequent genomic integration of the dimer yields this class of CNV without loss of distal chromosomal sequences. We used a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches to test the feasibility of the proposed replication error and its downstream consequences on chromosome structure in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We show that the proposed replication errorâ??the ligation of leading and lagging nascent strands to create a "closed" forkâ??can occur in vitro at short, interrupted inverted repeats. The removal of molecules with closed forks results in a hairpin-capped linear duplex that we show replicates in vivo to create an inverted, dimeric plasmid that subsequently integrates into the genome by homologous recombination, creating an inverted triplication. While other models have been proposed to explain inverted triplications and their derivatives, our model can also explain the generation of human, de novo, inverted amplicons that have a 2:1 mixture of sequences from both homologues of a single parentâ??a feature readily explained by a plasmid intermediate that arises from one homologue and integrates into the other homolog prior to meiosis. Our tests of key features of ODIRA lend support to this mechanism and suggest further avenues of enquiry to unravel the origins of interstitial, inverted CNVs pivotal in human health and evolution These are all CGH arrays comparing DNA copy number between evolved yeast strains and a euploid wt strain.
