Journal of theoretical biology 20181030
Oscillations are crucial to the normal function of living organisms, across a wide variety of biological processes. In eukaryotes, oscillatory dynamics are thought to arise from interactions at the protein and RNA levels; however, the role of non-coding RNA in regulating these dynamics remains understudied. In this work, we show how non-coding RNA acting as microRNA (miRNA) sponges in a conserved miRNA - transcription factor feedback motif, can give rise to oscillatory behaviour, and how to test ...[more]

Abstract:
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are an integral part of gene regulation
at the post-transcriptional level. Recently, it has been shown
that pairs of miRNAs can repress the translation of a target
mRNA in a cooperative manner, which leads to an enhanced
effectiveness and specificity in target repression. However, it
remains unclear which miRNA pairs can synergize and which genes
are target of cooperative miRNA regulation. In this paper, we
present a computational workflow for the prediction and
analysis of cooperating miRNAs and their mutual target genes,
which we refer to as RNA triplexes. The workflow integrates
methods of miRNA target prediction; triplex structure analysis;
molecular dynamics simulations and mathematical modeling for a
reliable prediction of functional RNA triplexes and target
repression efficiency. In a case study we analyzed the human
genome and identified several thousand targets of cooperative
gene regulation. Our results suggest that miRNA cooperativity
is a frequent mechanism for an enhanced target repression by
pairs of miRNAs facilitating distinctive and fine-tuned target
gene expression patterns. Human RNA triplexes predicted and
characterized in this study are organized in a web resource at
www.sbi.uni-rostock.de/triplexrna/.

Project description:During microRNA-biogenesis, stem-loop structured precursors are processed in two endonucleolytic steps, giving rise to mature microRNAs (miRNAs). This process is not only regulated at the level of transcription but also posttranscriptionally by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Here we have used a proteomics-based pull-down approach to map and characterize the interactome of 72 pre-miRNAs in eleven cell lines. We identify over 150 RBPs that interact specifically with distinct pre-miRNAs. To demonstrate their functional relevance, we used RNAi knockdown and CRISPR/Cas-mediated knockout experiments and analyzed changes in miRNA levels. Indeed, a large number of the investigated candidates have effects on miRNA-processing under our experimental conditions, including several C3H-zinc-finger proteins. Ultimately, we show that TRIM71/Lin41 is a potent regulator of miR-29a processing and its inactivation directly affects miR-29a targets. In summary, we provide an extended database of RBPs that interact with pre-miRNAs in different cell types helping to elucidate posttranscriptional regulation of miRNA biogenesis on a global scale.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) sponges containing miRNA complementary binding sites constitute a potentially useful strategy for miRNA-inhibition therapeutics in cancer patients. Recently, naturally occurring circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been revealed to function as efficient microRNA sponges. We hypothesized that synthetic circRNA sponges targeting oncomiRs could be constructed and used to achieve potentially therapeutic microRNA loss of function. In this study, linear RNA molecules containing five miR-21 binding sites were transcribed in vitro. After dephosphorylation by calf intestinal phosphatase and phosphorylation by T4 polynucleotide kinase, circRNA sponges were circularized using 5’-3’ end ligation by T4 RNA ligase 1. Synthetic circular sponge stability was assayed in the presence of RNase R or fetal bovine serum. Luciferase reporter and cell proliferation assays were performed to assess competitive inhibition of miR-21 activity by circRNA sponges in NCI-N87 gastric cancer cells. Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) labeling proteomics analysis and Western blotting were performed to delineate effects of circRNA sponges on miR-21 downstream targeted proteins. Our experiments revealed that artificial circRNA sponges can be synthesized using enzymatic ligation. These synthetic circRNA sponges are more resistant than their linear RNA counterparts to nuclease degradation in vitro. They effectively suppress the activity of miR-21 on its downstream protein targets, including the important cancer protein DAXX. Finally, they also inhibit gastric cancer cell proliferation. Our results suggest that synthetic circRNA sponges represent a rapid, effective, convenient strategy to achieve loss of miRNA function in vitro, with potential future therapeutic application in vivo.

Project description:LIN28 (also known as LIN28A), a highly conserved RNA-binding protein, has emerged as a central post-transcriptional regulator of cell fate through blockade of let-7 microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis and direct modulation of mRNA translation. To gain insight into how LIN28 is integrated with the pluripotency signaling network, we investigated the role of LIN28 phosphorylation. We employed a targeted phosphoproteomics strategy in mouse ESCs (mESCs) and were able to map four phosphosites, two of which, S184 and S200, were confidently assigned to specific serine residues.

Project description:RNA silencing is a conserved mechanism in eukaryotes and is involved in development, heterochromatin maintenance and defense against viruses. In plants, ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) protein plays a central role in both microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA)-directed silencing and its expression is regulated at multiple levels. Here, we report that the F-box protein FBW2 targets proteolysis of AGO1 by a CDC48-mediated mechanism. We found that FBW2 assembles an SCF complex that recognizes the MID-PIWI domain of AGO1 and requires its C-terminal domain containing a GW motif for AGO1 turnover. We showed that FBW2 has a preference for the unloaded and for some mutated forms of AGO1 protein. While FBW2 loss of function does not lead to strong growth or developmental defects, it significantly increases RNA silencing activity. Interestingly, under conditions in which small RNA production or accumulation is affected, the failure to degrade AGO1 in fbw2 mutants becomes more deleterious for the plant. Hence, we showed that the non-degradable AGO1 protein assembles high molecular complexes and binds illegitimate small RNA leading to the cleavage of new target genes that belong to stress responses and cellular metabolic processes. Therefore, the control of AGO1 homeostasis by ubiquitin ligases, plays an important quality control to avoid off-target cleavage.

Project description:<p>The biomarker development study consisted of two parts: discovery and validation. The first part was the discovery and verification phase of biomarkers using two different platforms: transcriptomic and miRNA. The salivary transcriptomes of 63 GC samples and 31 non-GC controls were profiled using Affymetrix HG U133+2.0 microarrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). The identified exRNA candidates were verified by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) using all 94 of the original samples. In the discovery phase for the miRNA biomarkers, 10 early-stage GC samples and 10 non-GC controls were selected. The salivary miRNAs of these samples (n=20) were profiled using the TaqMan MicroRNA Array (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). MicroRNA candidates were verified using TaqMan miRNA Assay (Thermo Scientific, Grand Island, NY). The second part of the study was to validate these verified exRNA biomarker candidates with exRNA samples extracted from an independent cohort of 100 GC and 100 non-GC saliva samples. The cohort was not balanced for demographics on gender and smoking history but more accurately reflected the diagnostic setting where our proposed final model could be implemented.</p> <p>Reprinted from "Li F, Yoshizawa MJ, Kim K, Kanjanapangka J, Grogan T, Wang X, Elashoff D, Ishikawa S, Chia D, Liao W, Akin D, Yan X, Lee M, Choi R, Kim S, Kang S, Bae J, Sohn T, Lee J, Choi M, Min B, Lee J, Kim J, Kim Y, Kim S, Wong D.

Project description:ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) binds directly to small regulatory RNA and is a key effector protein of post-transcriptional gene silencing mediated by microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). The formation of an RNA induced silencing complex (RISC) of AGO1 and small RNA requires the function of the Heat Shock Protein 70/90 chaperone system. Some functions of AGO1 occur in association with endomembranes, in particular the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER), but proteins interacting with AGO1 in membrane fractions remain unidentified. In this study, we show that the farnesylated Heat Shock Protein 40 homologs, J2 and J3, associate with AGO1 in membrane fractions in a manner that involves protein farnesylation. We also show that three changes in AGO1 function are detectable in mutants in protein farnesylation and J2/J3. First, perturbations of the HSP40/70/90 pathway by mutation of j3, hsp90 and farnesyl transferase affect the amounts of AGO1 associated with membranes. Second, miRNA association with membrane-bound AGO1, and with membrane-bound polysomes is increased in farnesyl transferase and farnesylationdeficient J2/J3 mutants. Third, silencing by non-cell autonomously acting short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) is impaired. These observations highlight the involvement of farnesylated J2/J3 in small RNA-mediated gene regulation, and suggest that the importance of chaperone-AGO1 interaction is not limited to the RISC assembly process.

Project description:Maturation of canonical microRNA (miRNA) is initiated by DROSHA that cleaves the primary transcript (pri-miRNA). Over 1,800 miRNA loci are annotated in humans, but it remains largely unknown if and at which sites the pri-miRNAs are cleaved by DROSHA. Here we performed in vitro processing on a full set of human pri-miRNAs (miRBase v21) followed by sequencing. This comprehensive profiling enabled us to classify miRNAs based on DROSHA-dependence and map their cleavage sites with respective processing efficiency measures. Only 758 pri-miRNAs are confidently processed by DROSHA, while the majority may be non-canonical or false entries. Analyses of the DROSHA-dependent pri-miRNAs show key cis-elements for processing. We observe widespread alternative processing as well as unproductive cleavage events such as “nick” or “inverse” processing. SRSF3 is a broad-acting auxiliary factor modulating alternative processing and suppressing unproductive processing. The profiling data and methods developed in this study will allow systematic analyses of miRNA regulation.

Project description:Despite clear evidence that exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) are able to modulate the cellular microenvironment and that exosomal RNA cargo selection is often deregulated in pathological conditions, the mechanisms controlling specific RNA sorting into extracellular vescicles are still poorly understood. We identified here the RNA binding protein SYNCRIP (Synaptotagmin-binding Cytoplasmic RNA-Interacting Protein, also known as hnRNP-Q or NSAP1) as a component of the hepatocyte exosomal miRNA sorting machinery. SYNCRIP was found to bind directly a subset of miRNAs enriched in exosomes, sharing a common extra-seed sequence that we named hEXO motif. In vivo knock-down of SYNCRIP impaired microRNA sorting in exosomes and the hEXO motif was proven to play a role in the regulation of miRNA localization, as its embedment into a poorly exported miRNA enhanced its loading into exosomes. These results provide a new insight in the mechanisms of miRNA exosomal sorting process, that ca be exploited to further understand the role of these extracellular vescicles in cell-to-cell communications and the control of tissue micoenvironments.
