Identification of FUS RNA targets in HeLa cells

ABSTRACT: We identified a landscape of FUS-binding RNA targets in HeLa cells. The majority of the FUS binding sites are in introns of pre-mRNAs and less are in exons and untranslated regions. Significant FUS binding in introns flanking cassette exons, long intron (>100kb) containing transcripts and noncoding RNAs were detected in our study. We specifically determined the function of FUS in regulating the alternative splicing of cassette exons. The top FUS-associated cassette exon is exon 7 of the pre-mRNA of FUS itself. We demonstrated that FUS is a repressor of its own exon 7 splicing. FUS autoregulates its own protein levels by exon 7 alternative splicing and nonsense mediated decay. Moreover, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) linked FUS mutants are deficient in FUS autoregulation. CLIP-seq of FUS in HeLa cells

ALS-associated FUS mutations result in compromised FUS alternative splicing and autoregulation.

Zhou Yueqin Y Liu Songyan S Liu Guodong G Oztürk Arzu A Hicks Geoffrey G GG

PLoS genetics 20131031 10

The gene encoding a DNA/RNA binding protein FUS/TLS is frequently mutated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Mutations commonly affect its carboxy-terminal nuclear localization signal, resulting in varying deficiencies of FUS nuclear localization and abnormal cytoplasmic accumulation. Increasing evidence suggests deficiencies in FUS nuclear function may contribute to neuron degeneration. Here we report a novel FUS autoregulatory mechanism and its deficiency in ALS-associated mutants. Using ...[more]

HITS-CLIP analysis of FUS in lineage-committed cells.

Project description:In the present study, we performed HITS-CLIP analysis for FUS using mouse brain to extensively characterize tits RNA-binding sites and functional roles in RNA metabolisms. We identified preferential binding of FUS to stem-and-loop structures but without any discernible consensus motifs. FUS was preferentially bound to introns and 3' untranslated regions, but the exon/intron boundaries were mostly devoid of FUS-tags. Analysis of position-dependence of FUS-binding sites in regulating inclusion and skipping of exons disclosed that FUS is bound broadly around the alternatively spliced exons. Among them, however, noticeable CLIP-tags were observed in the downstream introns. We also noticed that FUS occasionally binds to the antisense strands in the promoter regions. Global analysis of CLIP-tags and expression profiles revealed that binding of FUS to the promoter antisense regions downgregulates transcription of the sense strand.

Project description:To clarify the functional properties of FUS, we established the differentially expressed alternative exons in FUS-silenced primary cortical neurons by using exon-sensitive microarray technology. We analyzed total RNA of primary cortical neuron infected with lentivirus expressing shRNA against mouse Fus or control. RNA was harvested 11 days after transfection.

The RNA-binding profile of Acinus, a peripheral component of the Exon junction complex, reveals its role in splicing regulation

Project description:Acinus (Apoptotic Chromatin Condensation Inducer in the Nucleus) is an RNA-binding protein (RBP) originally identified for its role in apoptosis. It was later found to be an auxiliary component of the Exon Junction Complex (EJC), which is deposited at exon junctions as a consequence of pre-mRNA splicing. To uncover the cellular functions of Acinus and investigate its role in splicing, we mapped its endogenous RNA targets using individual-nucleotide resolution UV-crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (iCLIP). We observed that Acinus binds to pre-mRNAs, associating specifically to a subset of suboptimal introns, but also to spliced mRNAs. We also confirmed the presence of Acinus as a peripheral factor of the EJC. RNA-seq was used to investigate changes in gene expression and alternative splicing following siRNA-mediated depletion of Acinus in HeLa cells. This analysis revealed that Acinus is preferentially required for the inclusion of specific alternative cassette exons and also controls the faithful splicing of a subset of introns. Moreover, a large number of splicing changes can be related to Acinus binding, suggesting a direct role of Acinus in exon and intron definition. In particular, Acinus regulates the splicing of DFFA/ICAD transcript, a major regulator of DNA fragmentation. Globally, the genome-wide identification of RNA targets of Acinus revealed its role in splicing regulation as well as its involvement in other cellular pathways, including cell cycle progression. Altogether, this study uncovers new cellular functions of an RBP transiently associated with the EJC

Regulation of alternative splicing by the core spliceosomal machinery

Project description:Abstract: Alternative splicing (AS) plays a major role in the generation of proteomic diversity and in gene regulation. However, the role of the basal splicing machinery in regulating AS remains poorly understood. Here we show that the core snRNP protein SmB/B’ self-regulates its expression by promoting the inclusion of a highly-conserved alternative exon in its own pre-mRNA that targets the spliced transcript for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Depletion of SmB/B’ in human cells results in reduced levels of snRNPs and in a striking reduction in the inclusion levels of hundreds of alternative exons, with comparatively few effects on constitutive exon splicing levels. The affected alternative exons are enriched in genes encoding RNA processing and other RNA binding factors, and a subset of these exons also regulate gene expression by activating NMD. Our results thus demonstrate a role for the core spliceosomal machinery in controlling an exon network that appears to modulate the levels of many RNA processing factors. HeLa cells were transfected with a control non-targeting siRNA pool (siNT), or with siRNA pools designed to knockdown SmB/B' or SRSF1 (also known as SF2/ASF/SFRS1). Sequence reads were aligned to exon-exon junction sequences in a database of EST/cDNA-mined cassette-type alternative splicing events. Processed data files (.bed and .txt) provided as supplementary files on the Series record. Processed data file build information: hg18.

Position-dependent alternative splicing activity revealed by global profiling of alternative splicing events regulated by PTB (HJAY)

Project description:To gain global insights into the role of the well-known repressive splicing regulator PTB we analyzed the consequences of PTB knockdown in HeLa cells using high-density oliogonucleotide splice-sensitive microarrays. The major class of identified PTB-regulated splicing event was PTB-repressed cassette exons, but there was also a substantial number of PTB-activated splicing events. PTB repressed and activated exons showed a distinct arrangement of motifs with pyrimidine-rich motif enrichment within and upstream of repressed exons, but downstream of activated exons. The N-terminal half of PTB was sufficient to activate splicing when recruited downstream of a PTB-activated exon. Moreover, insertion of an upstream pyrimidine tract was sufficient to convert a PTBactivated to a PTB-repressed exon. Our results demonstrate that PTB, an archetypal splicing repressor, has variable splicing activity that predictably depends upon its binding location with respect to target exons. Target was prepared from 3 biological replicates of PTB/nPTB knockdown and 3 control mock knockdowns from HeLa S3 cell line and hybridized to a custom Affymetrix array containing exon and exon-junction probes for more than 30,000 human genes

Two groups of three replicates each were collected at two different times.

Profiling lariat intermediates reveals genetic determinants of early and late co-transcriptional splicing

Project description:Long introns with short exons in vertebrate genes are thought to require spliceosome assembly across exons (exon definition), rather than introns, thereby requiring transcription of an exon to splice an upstream intron. Here, we developed CoLa-seq (co-transcriptional lariat sequencing) to investigate the timing and determinants of co-transcriptional splicing genome wide. Unexpectedly, 90% of all introns, including long introns, can splice before transcription of a downstream exon, indicating that exon definition is not obligatory for most human introns. Still, splicing timing varies dramatically across introns, and various genetic elements determine this variation. Strong U2AF2 binding to the polypyrimidine tract predicts early splicing, explaining exon definition-independent splicing. Together, our findings question the essentiality of exon definition and reveal features beyond intron and exon length that are determinative for splicing timing.
