MicroRNAs direct rapid deadenylation of mRNA.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ubiquitous regulators of eukaryotic gene expression. In addition to repressing translation, miRNAs can down-regulate the concentration of mRNAs that contain elements to which they are imperfectly complementary. Using miR-125b and let-7 as representative miRNAs, we show that in mammalian cells this reduction in message abundance is a consequence of accelerated deadenylation, which leads to rapid mRNA decay. The ability of miRNAs to expedite poly(A) removal does not result from decreased translation; nor does translational repression by miRNAs require a poly(A) tail, a 3' histone stem-loop being an effective substitute. These findings suggest that miRNAs use two distinct posttranscriptional mechanisms to down-regulate gene expression.

Modeling of mRNA deadenylation rates reveal a complex relationship between mRNA deadenylation and decay

Project description:Complete cytoplasmic polyadenosine tail (polyA-tail) deadenylation is thought to be essential for initiating mRNA decapping and subsequent degradation. To investigate this prevalent model, we conducted direct RNA sequencing of S. cerevisiae mRNAs derived from chase experiments under steady-state and stress condition. Subsequently, we developed a numerical model based on a modified gamma distribution function, which estimated the transcriptomic deadenylation rate at 10 A/min. A simplified independent method, based on the delineation of quantile polyA-tail values, showed a correlation between the decay and deadenylation rates of individual mRNAs, which appeared consistent within functional transcript groups and associated with codon optimality. Notably, these rates varied during the stress response. Detailed analysis of ribosomal protein-coding mRNAs (RPG mRNAs), constituting 40 % of the transcriptome, singled out this transcript group. While deadenylation and decay of RPG mRNAs accelerated under heat stress, their degradation could proceed even when deadenylation was blocked, depending entirely on ongoing nuclear export. Our findings support the general primary function of deadenylation in dictating the onset of decapping, while also demonstrating complex relations between these processes.

Molecular Insights into mRNA Polyadenylation and Deadenylation.

Project description:Poly(A) tails are present on almost all eukaryotic mRNAs, and play critical roles in mRNA stability, nuclear export, and translation efficiency. The biosynthesis and shortening of a poly(A) tail are regulated by large multiprotein complexes. However, the molecular mechanisms of these protein machineries still remain unclear. Recent studies regarding the structural and biochemical characteristics of those protein complexes have shed light on the potential mechanisms of polyadenylation and deadenylation. This review summarizes the recent structural studies on pre-mRNA 3'-end processing complexes that initiate the polyadenylation and discusses the similarities and differences between yeast and human machineries. Specifically, we highlight recent biochemical efforts in the reconstitution of the active human canonical pre-mRNA 3'-end processing systems, as well as the roles of RBBP6/Mpe1 in activating the entire machinery. We also describe how poly(A) tails are removed by the PAN2-PAN3 and CCR4-NOT deadenylation complexes and discuss the emerging role of the cytoplasmic poly(A)-binding protein (PABPC) in promoting deadenylation. Together, these recent discoveries show that the dynamic features of these machineries play important roles in regulating polyadenylation and deadenylation.

Rapid nuclear deadenylation of mammalian messenger RNA.

Project description:Poly(A) tails protect RNAs from degradation and their deadenylation rates determine RNA stability. Although poly(A) tails are generated in the nucleus, deadenylation of tails has mostly been investigated within the cytoplasm. Here, we combined long-read sequencing with metabolic labeling, splicing inhibition and cell fractionation experiments to quantify, separately, the genesis and trimming of nuclear and cytoplasmic tails in vitro and in vivo. We present evidence for genome-wide, nuclear synthesis of tails longer than 200 nt, which are rapidly shortened after transcription. Our data suggests that rapid deadenylation is a nuclear process, and that different classes of transcripts and even transcript isoforms have distinct nuclear tail lengths. For example, many long-noncoding RNAs retain long poly(A) tails. Modeling deadenylation dynamics predicts nuclear deadenylation about 10 times faster than cytoplasmic deadenylation. In summary, our data suggests that nuclear deadenylation might be a key mechanism for regulating mRNA stability, abundance, and subcellular localization.

Mixed tailing by TUT3 and TUT5 shields mRNA from rapid deadenylation [TAIL-Seq]

Project description:RNA tails play integral roles in the control of mRNA translation and decay. Guanylation of poly(A) tail was discovered recently, yet the enzymology and function remain obscure. Here we identify TUT3 (PAPD5) and TUT5 (PAPD7) (TUT3/5) as the enzymes responsible for mRNA guanylation. Purified TUT3/5 predominantly incorporate GTPs to generate a mixed poly(A) tail with intermittent non-adenosine residues. A single guanosine is sufficient to impede the deadenylation complex (CCR4-NOT) which trims the tail and exposes guanosine at the 3′ end. Consistently, the depletion of TUT3/5 leads to a decrease in mRNA half-life and abundance in cells. Thus, TUT3/5 produce a mixed tail which shields the mRNA from rapid deadenylation. Our study unveils the role of mixed tailing, and expands the complexity of post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Deadenylation-independent stage-specific mRNA degradation in Leishmania.

Project description:The life cycle of Leishmania alternates between developmental forms residing within the insect vector (e.g. promastigotes) and the mammalian host (amastigotes). In Leishmania nearly all control of gene expression is post-transcriptional and involves sequences in the 3'-untranslated regions (3'UTRs) of mRNAs. Very little is known as to how these cis-elements regulate RNA turnover and translation rates in trypanosomatids and nothing is known about mRNA degradation mechanisms in Leishmania in particular. Here, we use the amastin mRNA-an amastigote-specific transcript-as a model and show that a approximately 100 nt U-rich element (URE) within its 3'UTR significantly accounts for developmental regulation. RNase-H-RNA blot analysis revealed that a major part of the rapid promastigote-specific degradation of the amastin mRNA is not initiated by deadenylation. This is in contrast to the amastin mRNA in amastigotes and to reporter RNAs lacking the URE, which, in common with most eukaryotic mRNAs studied to-date, are deadenylated before being degraded. Moreover, our analysis did not reveal a role for decapping in the stage-specific degradation of the amastin mRNA. Overall, these results suggest that degradation of the amastin mRNA of Leishmania is likely to be bi-phasic, the first phase being stage-specific and dependent on an unusual URE-mediated pathway of mRNA degradation.

CNOT3-Dependent mRNA Deadenylation Safeguards the Pluripotent State.

Project description:Poly(A) tail length and mRNA deadenylation play important roles in gene regulation. However, how they regulate embryonic development and pluripotent cell fate is not fully understood. Here we present evidence that CNOT3-dependent mRNA deadenylation governs the pluripotent state. We show that CNOT3, a component of the Ccr4-Not deadenylase complex, is required for mouse epiblast maintenance. It is highly expressed in blastocysts and its deletion leads to peri-implantation lethality. The epiblast cells in Cnot3 deletion embryos are quickly lost during diapause and fail to outgrow in culture. Mechanistically, CNOT3 C terminus is required for its interaction with the complex and its function in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Furthermore, Cnot3 deletion results in increases in the poly(A) tail lengths, half-lives, and steady-state levels of differentiation gene mRNAs. The half-lives of CNOT3 target mRNAs are shorter in ESCs and become longer during normal differentiation. Together, we propose that CNOT3 maintains the pluripotent state by promoting differentiation gene mRNA deadenylation and degradation, and we identify poly(A) tail-length regulation as a post-transcriptional mechanism that controls pluripotency.

Rapid nuclear deadenylation of mammalian messenger RNA

Project description:Poly(A) tails protect RNAs from degradation and deadenylation rates determine RNA stability. Deadenylation has mostly been investigated within the cytoplasm and the dynamics of poly(A) tail length after transcription are not well understood. Combining long-read sequencing with metabolic labeling and cell fractionations, we investigate deadenylation dynamics of newly synthesized poly(A) tails in vitro and in vivo. We report evidence for genome-wide synthesis of poly(A) tails longer than 200 nt which are enriched upon splicing inhibition. Metabolic labeling reveals rapid deadenylation of poly(A) tails within minutes after transcription. Fractionation experiments show that initial deadenylation is a nuclear process, and that different classes of transcripts, including long noncoding RNAs, have distinctive nuclear poly(A) tail lengths. Modelling deadenylation dynamics predicts that deadenylation in the nucleus is by an order of magnitude faster than in the cytoplasm. In summary, we suggest nuclear deadenylation as a novel regulatory layer which may determine stability and abundance before mRNAs reach the cytoplasm.

The BTG2 protein is a general activator of mRNA deadenylation.

Project description:BTG2 is a prototype member of the BTG/Tob family of antiproliferative proteins, originally identified as a primary response gene induced by growth factors and tumour promoters. Its expression has been linked to diverse cellular processes such as cell-cycle progression, differentiation or apoptosis. BTG2 has also been shown to interact with the Pop2/Caf1 deadenylase. Here, we demonstrate that BTG2 is a general activator of mRNA decay, thereby contributing to gene expression control. Detailed characterizations of BTG2 show that it enhances deadenylation of all transcripts tested. Our results demonstrate that Caf1 nuclease activity is required for efficient deadenylation in mammalian cells and that the deadenylase activities of both Caf1 and its Ccr4 partner are required for Btg2-induced poly(A) degradation. General activation of deadenylation may represent a new mode of global regulation of gene expression, which could be important to allow rapid resetting of protein production during development or after specific stresses. This may constitute a common function for BTG/Tob family members.
