Effect of ribosomal protein intron deletion on gene expression

ABSTRACT: Ribosomal proteins are essential to life. While the functions of ribosomal protein-encoding genes (RPGs) are highly conserved, the evolution of their regulatory mechanisms is remarkably dynamic. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, RPGs are unusual in that they are commonly present as two highly similar gene copies and that they are over-represented among intron-containing genes. To investigate the role of introns in the regulation of RPG expression, we constructed 16 S. cerevisiae strains with precise deletions of RPG introns. We found that several yeast introns function to repress rather than to increase steady-state mRNA levels. Among these, the RPS9A and RPS9B introns were required for cross-regulation of the two paralogous gene copies, which is consistent with the duplication of an autoregulatory circuit. Splicing specific microarrays were used to assess the genome-wide defects in gene expression and pre-mRNA splicing that result from a deletion of a single ribosomal protein gene intron.

Transcriptome analysis of budding yeast strains manipulated in RPL22A and RPL22B genes

Project description:Most Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribosomal protein genes (RPGs) are present as two paralogous copies that emerged during a whole genome duplication. The preservation of two copies of the same gene during the past ~100 million years enabled diversification of the regulation of their expression, and also partially of their functional properties. One example of such paralogous genes are RPL22A and RPL22B that are asymmetrically expressed and their protein sequences represent one of the most divergent pairs among budding yeast RPG paralogs. It was shown that introns in the RPL22A and RPL22B genes are important for regulation of their expression levels. To investigate functional differences between RPL22A and RPL22B we performed RNA-seq analysis of strains with complete deletions of either RPL22A or RPL22B, and also of strains with intron deletions in the RPL22 genes, in comparison with a wild-type strain. Cells were grown to mid-exponential phase in the rich YPAD medium. Total RNA was isolated by combining phenol-chlorophorm extraction with MasterPure Yeast RNA Purification Kit (Epicentre). Ribodepletion, library preparation and sequencing were performed by BGI Genomics.

Competition between pre-mRNAs for a limiting splicing machinery drives global changes in splicing

Project description:During meiosis in yeast, global splicing efficiency increases. The mechanism for this is relief of competition for the splicing machinery by repression of intron-containing ribosomal protein genes (RPGs). Repression of RPGs with rapamycin also increases splicing efficiency in vegetative cells. Reducing levels of an RPG-dedicated transcription factor globally improves splicing and suppresses the temperature-sensitive growth defect of a spliceosome mutation. These results indicate that the spliceosome is limiting and pre-mRNAs compete with each other. Under these conditions, splicing efficiency of a given pre-mRNA therefore depends on both its concentration and affinity for the limiting splicing factor(s) as well as those of the competing pre-mRNAs. We propose that trans-competition control of splicing helps repress meiotic gene expression in vegetative cells, and promotes efficient meiosis. Competition between RNAs for a limiting factor may be a general condition important for function of a variety of post-transcriptional control mechanisms. Splicing and gene expression profiles of 1) wild type yeast cells treated with rapamycin (2 biological replicates) relative to untreated cells and 2) prp4-1 pGAL-IFH1 (down-regulated expression of IFH1 transcription factor(specific for ribosomal protein genes)) relative to prp4-1 yeast.

Diverse Environmental Stresses Elicit Distinct Responses at the Level of Pre-mRNA Processing in Yeast.

Project description:Gene expression in Eukaryotic cells is profoundly shaped by the post-transcriptional processing of mRNAs, including the splicing of introns in the nucleus and both nuclear and cytoplasmic degradation pathways. Here we report the use of a splicing isoform specific microarray platform to investigate the effects of a host of diverse stress conditions on both splicing pre-mRNA fate. Interestingly, We find that diverse stresses cause distinct patterns of changes at the level of pre- mRNA processing. The responses we observed are most dramatic for the RPGs and can be categorized into three major classes. The first is characterized by accumulation of RPG pre-mRNA and is seen in multiple types of amino acid starvation regimes; the magnitude of splicing inhibition correlates with the severity of the stress. The second class is characterized by a rapid decrease in both pre- and mature RPG mRNA and is seen in many stresses that inactivate the TORC1 kinase complex. These decreases depend on nuclear turn-over of the intron-containing pre-RNAs. The third class is characterized by a decrease in RPG pre-mRNA with only a modest reduction in the mature species; this response is observed in hyperosmotic and cation-toxic stresses. We show that casein kinase 2 (CK2) makes important contributions to the changes in pre-mRNA processing, particularly for the first two classes of stress responses. In total, our data suggest that complex post-transcriptional programs cooperate to fine-tune expression of intron-containing transcripts in budding yeast. Splicing-specific microarrays were used to assay the changes to splicing caused by a wide variety of environmental stresses and nutrient conditions.

Rapid, transcript-specific changes in splicing in response to environmental stress

Project description:While the core splicing machinery is highly conserved between budding yeast and mammals, the absence of alternative splicing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae raises the fundamental question of why introns have been retained in ~5% of the 6,000 genes. Because Ribosomal Protein-encoding Genes (RPGs) are highly over-represented in the set of intron-containing genes, we tested the hypothesis that splicing of these transcripts would be regulated under conditions where translation is impaired. Using a microarraybased strategy, we find that within minutes after the induction of amino acid starvation the splicing of the majority of RPGs is specifically inhibited. In response to an unrelated stress, exposure to toxic levels of ethanol, splicing of a different group of transcripts is inhibited, while the splicing of a third set is actually improved. We propose that regulation of splicing, like transcription, can afford rapid and specific changes in gene expression in response to the environment. Keywords: stress, environmental stress, time course, splicing, splicing-specific microarray

The regulation of ribosomal protein genes expression by the protein kinase DYRK1A contributes to the maintenance of ribosome mass and protein translation

Project description:Ribosomal protein genes (RPGs) coding sequences are highly conserved along evolution; however, promoter features and the machinery involved in their transcriptional regulation are not. In eukaryotes, the main genomic elements and players involved in RPG transcriptional regulation have been mostly characterized in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, given the lack of evolutionary conservation of the yeast factors, studies in higher eukaryotes have focused on searching for differential enrichment of transcription factor-binding motifs within the RPG promoters. Among them, the palindromic motif TCTCGCGAGA, which is currently acknowledged as a ZBTB33/KAISO motif, also matches the genomic sequence bound by the protein kinase DYRK1A. DYRK1A, a member of the human family of DYRK kinases, fulfills many diverse functions by phosphorylating a broad set of proteins involved in different cellular processes. One of such functions is to be a chromatin-associated kinase capable of regulating gene expression. Here, we analyze in-depth the presence of DYRK1A at the promoters of human and mouse RPGs and explore its functional consequences. Our results indicate that DYRK1A is a positive regulator of RPGs’ expression at the transcriptional level, and that this effect could, at least in part, contribute to the global reduction in ribosome amounts and protein synthesis observed when DYRK1A is silenced. Therefore, our results further expand the functional spectrum of the kinase as a contributor to the regulation of cell growth in mammalian cells.
