RNA at 92 M-BM-0C: the non-coding transcriptome of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus abyssi.

ABSTRACT: The non-coding transcriptome of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus abyssi is investigated using the RNA-seq technology. A dedicated computational pipeline analyzes RNA-seq reads and prior genome annotation to identify small RNAs, untranslated regions of mRNAs, and cis-encoded antisense transcripts. Unlike other archaea, such as Sulfolobus and Halobacteriales, P. abyssi produces few leaderless mRNA transcripts. Antisense transcription is widespread (215 transcripts) and targets protein-coding genes that are less conserved than average genes. We identify at least three novel H/ACA-like guide RNAs among the newly characterized non-coding RNAs. Long 5' UTRs in mRNAs of ribosomal proteins and amino-acid biosynthesis genes strongly suggest the presence of cis-regulatory leaders in these mRNAs. We selected a high-interest subset of non-coding RNAs based on their strong promoters, high GC-content, phylogenetic conservation, or abundance. Some of the novel small RNAs and long 5' UTRs display high GC contents, suggesting unknown structural RNA functions. However, we were surprised to observe that most of the high-interest RNAs are AU-rich, which suggests an absence of stable secondary structure in the high-temperature environment of P. abyssi. Yet, these transcripts display other hallmarks of functionality, such as high expression or high conservation, which leads us to consider possible RNA functions that do not require extensive secondary structure. directional RNA-seq, Illumina GA-IIx

Project description:LlorénsRico2016 - Effects of cis-Encoded antisense RNAs (asRNAs) - Case1 Three putative effects of the asRNAs were considered in this study: in case 1 (this model) , the binding of the asRNA to the corresponding mRNA induces degradation of the duplex. In case 2, the binding of the asRNA to the mRNA induces degradation of the mRNA, but not of the asRNA. In case 3, the mRNA and the asRNA bind reversibly to form a stable duplex, preventing translation of the mRNA. In all the three cases, binding to the ribosome protects the mRNA from the effect of the asRNA. This model is described in the article: Bacterial antisense RNAs are mainly the product of transcriptional noise. Lloréns-Rico V, Cano J, Kamminga T, Gil R, Latorre A, Chen WH, Bork P, Glass JI, Serrano L, Lluch-Senar M. Sci Adv 2016 Mar; 2(3): e1501363 Abstract: cis-Encoded antisense RNAs (asRNAs) are widespread along bacterial transcriptomes. However, the role of most of these RNAs remains unknown, and there is an ongoing discussion as to what extent these transcripts are the result of transcriptional noise. We show, by comparative transcriptomics of 20 bacterial species and one chloroplast, that the number of asRNAs is exponentially dependent on the genomic AT content and that expression of asRNA at low levels exerts little impact in terms of energy consumption. A transcription model simulating mRNA and asRNA production indicates that the asRNA regulatory effect is only observed above certain expression thresholds, substantially higher than physiological transcript levels. These predictions were verified experimentally by overexpressing nine different asRNAs in Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Our results suggest that most of the antisense transcripts found in bacteria are the consequence of transcriptional noise, arising at spurious promoters throughout the genome.
