Project description:Dicer is a deeply conserved endoribonuclease with key functions in small RNA biogenesis. Here we employed PAR-CLIP/iPAR-CLIP to identify direct Dicer binding sites in the transcriptomes of human cells and human. We found hundreds of novel miRNAs and non-canonical Dicer substrates with high sensitivity. Small RNA production depended on structure of the binding site and is globally biased towards the 5' arm of hairpins. Unexpectedly, in both species Dicer bound numerous hairpins inside mRNAs without observable small RNA production. Our data revealed ~100 mRNAs of protein coding genes to be targeted in both human and worm. These mRNAs significantly overlapped with the RNAi pathway. We also, unexpectedly, found that mitochondrial transcripts are Dicer targets in both species. We demonstrate functional consequences of Dicer binding by perturbation analysis. Taken together,we provide the first genome-wide catalog of direct Dicer targets. Our results suggest widespread function outside of miRNA biogenesis. PAR-CLIP basically as described previously (Hafner et al. 2010).

Project description:The endoribonuclease Dicer is known for its central role in the biogenesis of eukaryotic small RNAs/microRNAs. Despite its importance, Dicer target transcripts have not been directly mapped. Here, we apply biochemical methods to human cells and C. elegans and identify thousands of Dicer binding sites. We find known and hundreds of novel miRNAs with high sensitivity and specificity. We also report structural RNAs, promoter RNAs, and mitochondrial transcripts as Dicer targets. Interestingly, most Dicer binding sites reside on mRNAs/lncRNAs and are not significantly processed into small RNAs. These passive sites typically harbor small, Dicer-bound hairpins within intact transcripts and generally stabilize target expression. We show that passive sites can sequester Dicer and reduce microRNA expression. mRNAs with passive sites were in human and worm significantly associated with processing-body/granule function. Together, we provide the first transcriptome-wide map of Dicer targets and suggest conserved binding modes and functions outside the miRNA pathway. PAR-CLIP basically as described previously (Hafner et al. 2010).

Project description:We developed a method for measuring non-specific background in PAR-CLIP data demonstrating that covalently crosslinked background binding is common, reproducible and apparently universal. Furthermore, we show that quantitative determination of background is essential for identifying targets of weakly binding RNA-binding proteins and can substantially improve motif analysis. To define background binding events in PAR-CLIP data we performed the standard PAR-CLIP protocol (Hafner et al., Cell 2010.) on lysates expressing a commonly used non-RBP control, FLAG-GFP. After FLAG-tag immunopurification of UV 365nm irradiated lysates prepared from cells supplemented with 4-thiouridine (4SU), RNA was partially digested with RNase T1, radiolabeled and separated by SDS-PAGE. Reads were sequenced by Illumina HiSeq. PAR-CLIP was also performed for HuR. Included as well is a total from lysates treated like PAR-CLIP, but without immunoprecipitation (see sample description for more detail).

Project description:To exert regulatory function, miRNAs guide Argonaute (AGO) proteins to partially complementary sites on target RNAs. Crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (“re state-of-the-art to map AGO binding sites, but assigning the targeting miRNA to these sites relies on bioinformatics predictions and is therefore indirect. To directly and unambiguously identify miRNA:target site interactions, we modified our CLIP methodology in C. elegans to experimentally ligate miRNAs to their target sites. Unexpectedly, ligation reactions also occurred in absence of the exogenous ligase. Our in vivo dataset and re-analysis of published mammalian AGO-CLIP data for miRNA-chimeras yielded >17,000 miRNA:target site interactions. Analysis of interactions and extensive experimental validation of chimera-discovered targets of viral miRNAs suggest that our strategy identifies canonical, non-canonical, and non-conserved miRNA interactions. Our data suggest that ~80% of miRNA:targets have perfect or partial seed complementarity. In summary, analysis of miRNA:target chimeras enables the systematic, context-specific, in vivo discovery of miRNA interactions. In vivo PAR-CLIP basically as described previously (Jungkamp et al. 2011) using GFP-tagged ALG-1 expressing worms in L3 stage. Worm lysate was treated with RNase T1. Following immunoprecipitation and a second RNase T1 digest, it was proceeded as described in Hafner et al. 2010. For the modified iPAR-CLIP ligation samples and its control samples immuno-purified complexes were treated with PNK phospathase minus, subjected to ligation with T4 RNA ligase/no ligase added and subsequently phosphorylated with PNK. Protein purification and RNA library preparation essentially as described in Hafner et al., but with the selection of longer RNA products.

Project description:Background: In recent years, a variety of small RNAs derived from other RNAs with well-known functions such as tRNAs and snoRNAs, have been identified. The functional relevance of these RNAs is largely unknown. To gain insight into the complexity of snoRNA processing and the functional relevance of snoRNA-derived small RNAs, we sequenced long and short RNAs, small RNAs that co-precipitate with the Argonaute 2 protein and RNA fragments obtained in photoreactive nucleotide-enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) of core snoRNA-associated proteins. Results: Analysis of these data sets revealed that many loci in the human genome reproducibly give rise to C/D box-like snoRNAs, whose expression and evolutionary conservation are typically less pronounced relative to the snoRNAs that are currently catalogued. We further found that virtually all C/D box snoRNAs are specifically processed inside the regions of terminal complementarity, retaining in the mature form only 4-5 nucleotides upstream of the C box and 2-5 nucleotides downstream of the D box. Sequencing of the total and Argonaute 2-associated populations of small RNAs revealed that despite their cellular abundance, C/D box-derived small RNAs are not efficiently incorporated into the Ago2 protein. Conclusions: We conclude that the human genome encodes a large number of snoRNAs that are processed along the canonical pathway and expressed at relatively low levels. Generation of snoRNA-derived processing products with alternative, particularly miRNA-like, functions appears to be uncommon.

Project description:We employed PAR-CLIP, a recently developed method based on RNA-protein crosslinking, to identify Cirbp and Rbm3 binding sites at transcriptome-level. Genome-wide RNA-seq analysis indicated that cold temperature leads to extensive 3M-bM-^@M-^YUTR lengthening whereas the loss of Cirbp or Rbm3 resulted in 3M-bM-^@M-^YUTR shortening. Combining with PAR-CLIP results, we found that these two RBPs repress the polyadenylation adjacent to their binding sites. Examination of the binding sites of Cirbp and Rbm3 by PAR-CLIP and their influence on the transcriptome by RNA-seq. PARCLIP was performed as in Hafner et al. 2010 Cell 141, 129M-bM-^@M-^S141, with MEFs cell lines stably expressing FLAG-tagged Cirbp and Rbm3. We used 4-thiouridine (4SU) to enhance the crosslink. For RNA-seq, polyadenylated RNA from the mock-transfected cells at 37M-BM-0C or 32M-BM-0C with two replicates, siCirbp-1, siCirbp-2, siRbm3-1 and siRbm3-2 MEFs at 37M-BM-0C were sequenced on Solexa GAII using 76bp single-end kits according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions.

Project description:Protein-RNA interactions are fundamental to core biological processes, such as mRNA splicing, localization, degradation and translation. We developed a photoreactive nucleotide-enhanced UV crosslinking and oligo(dT) purification approach to identify the mRNA-bound proteome using quantitative proteomics and to display the protein occupancy on mRNA transcripts by next-generation sequencing. Application to a human embryonic kidney cell line identified close to 800 proteins. Close to one third of these proteins, were neither previously annotated nor could be functionally predicted to bind RNA. Protein occupancy profiling provides a transcriptome-wide catalog of potential cis-regulatory regions on mammalian mRNAs and showed that large stretches in 3' UTRs can be contacted by the mRNA-bound proteome, with numerous putative binding sites in regions harboring disease-associated nucleotide polymorphisms. Our observations indicate the presence of a large number of unexpected mRNA-binders with novel molecular functions participating in combinatorial post-transcriptional gene-expression networks. PARCLIP was performed as in Hafner et al. 2010 Cell 141, 129M-bM-^@M-^S141, with HEK293 cell lines stably expressing HIS/FLAG/HA-tagged ALKBH5, C17orf85, C22orf28, CAPRIN1, and ZC3H7B. We used 4-thiouridine (4SU) to enhance the crosslink and generated two PAR-CLIP cDNA libraries per protein.

Project description:We performed next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) using brain tissue from 23 months old non-transgenic (NTG), non-treated and CP2 (mitochondrial complex I inhibitor)-treated APP/PS1 (mouse model of Alzheimer`s disease). By comparing transcriptomic data of NTG and vehicle-treated APP/PS1 mice, we found processes affected by the disease in APP/PS1 such as impaired ATP metabolism, ion transport, nervous system development, synaptic transmission, and inflammation. CP2-treatment in APP/PS1 positively affected genes related to immune system, axonogenesis, dendritic spine morphology, synaptic function, among the others. These data demonstrate that pathways improved by CP2 treatment in APP/PS1 mice comprise major pathways essential for therapeutic efficacy in Alzheimer`s disease.
