A distant cis acting intronic element induces site-selective RNA editing.

ABSTRACT: Transcripts have been found to be site selectively edited from adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) in the mammalian brain, mostly in genes involved in neurotransmission. While A-to-I editing occurs at double-stranded structures, other structural requirements are largely unknown. We have investigated the requirements for editing at the I/M site in the Gabra-3 transcript of the GABA(A) receptor. We identify an evolutionarily conserved intronic duplex, 150 nt downstream of the exonic hairpin where the I/M site resides, which is required for its editing. This is the first time a distant RNA structure has been shown to be important for A-to-I editing. We demonstrate that the element also can induce editing in related but normally not edited RNA sequences. In human, thousands of genes are edited in duplexes formed by inverted repeats in non-coding regions. It is likely that numerous such duplexes can induce editing of coding regions throughout the transcriptome.

Identification of an intronic cis-acting element in the human dopamine transporter gene.

Project description:The human dopamine transporter gene (hDAT) encodes the dopamine transporter in dopamine (DA) neurons to regulate DA transmission. hDAT expression varies significantly from neuron to neuron, and from individual to individual so that dysregulation of hDAT is related to many neuropsychiatric disorders. It is critical to identify hDAT-specific cis-acting elements that regulate the hDAT expression. Previous studies showed that hDAT Intron 1 displayed inhibitory activity for reporter gene expression. Here we report that the hDAT Intron 1 contains a 121-bp fragment that down-regulated both SV40 and hDAT promoter activities by 80% in vitro. Subfragments of 121-bp still down-regulated the SV40 promoter but not the hDAT promoter, as supported by nuclear protein-binding activities. Collectively, 121-bp is a silencer in vitro that might coordinate with transcriptional activities both inside and outside 121-bp in regulation of hDAT.

A cis-acting element in retroviral genomic RNA links Gag-Pol ribosomal frameshifting to selective viral RNA encapsidation.

Project description:During retroviral RNA encapsidation, two full-length genomic (g) RNAs are selectively incorporated into assembling virions. Packaging involves a cis-acting packaging element (?) within the 5' untranslated region of unspliced HIV-1 RNA genome. However, the mechanism(s) that selects and limits gRNAs for packaging remains uncertain. Using a dual complementation system involving bipartite HIV-1 gRNA, we observed that gRNA packaging is additionally dependent on a cis-acting RNA element, the genomic RNA packaging enhancer (GRPE), found within the gag p1-p6 domain and overlapping the Gag-Pol ribosomal frameshift signal. Deleting or disrupting the two conserved GRPE stem loops diminished gRNA packaging and infectivity >50-fold, while deleting gag sequences between ? and GRPE had no effect. Downregulating the translation termination factor eRF1 produces defective virus particles containing 20 times more gRNA. Thus, only the HIV-1 RNAs employed for Gag-Pol translation may be specifically selected for encapsidation, possibly explaining the limitation of two gRNAs per virion.

CRM1-dependent function of a cis-acting RNA export element.

Project description:Viruses often contain cis-acting RNA elements, which facilitate the posttranscriptional processing and export of their messages. These elements fall into two classes distinguished by the presence of either viral or cellular RNA binding proteins. To date, studies have indicated that the viral proteins utilize the CRM1-dependent export pathway, while the cellular factors generally function in a CRM1-independent manner. The cis-acting element found in the woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) (the WHV posttranscriptional regulatory element [WPRE]) has the ability to posttranscriptionally stimulate transgene expression and requires no viral proteins to function. Conventional wisdom suggests that the WPRE would function in a CRM1-independent manner. However, our studies on this element reveal that its efficient function is sensitive to the overexpression of the C terminus of CAN/Nup214 and treatment with the antimicrobial agent leptomycin B. Furthermore, the overexpression of CRM1 stimulates WPRE activity. These results suggest a direct role for CRM1 in the export function of the WPRE. This observation suggests that the WPRE is directing messages into a CRM1-dependent mRNA export pathway in somatic mammalian cells.

Q/R site editing in kainate receptor GluR5 and GluR6 pre-mRNAs requires distant intronic sequences.

Project description:RNA editing by adenosine deamination in brain-expressed pre-mRNAs for glutamate receptor (GluR) subunits alters gene-specified codons for functionally critical positions, such as the channel's Q/R site. We show by transcript analysis of minigenes transiently expressed in PC-12 cells that, in contrast to GluR-B pre-mRNA, where the two editing sites (Q/R and R/G) require base pairing with nearby intronic editing site complementary sequences (ECSs), editing in GluR5 and GluR6 pre-mRNAs recruits an ECS located as far as 1900 nucleotides distal to the Q/R site. The exon-intron duplex structure of the GluR5 and GluR6 pre-mRNAs appears to be a substrate of double-stranded RNA-specific adenosine deaminase. This enzyme when coexpressed in HEK 293 cells preferentially targets the adenosine of the Q/R site and of an unpaired position in the ECS which is highly edited in brain.

High-resolution structure of a picornaviral internal cis-acting RNA replication element (cre).

Project description:Picornaviruses constitute a medically important family of RNA viruses in which genome replication critically depends on a small RNA element, the cis-acting replication element (cre), that templates 3D(pol) polymerase-catalyzed uridylylation of the protein primer for RNA synthesis, VPg. We report the solution structure of the 33-nt cre of human rhinovirus 14 under solution conditions optimal for uridylylation in vitro. The cre adopts a stem-loop conformation with an extended duplex stem supporting a novel 14-nt loop that derives stability from base-stacking interactions. Base-pair interactions are absent within the loop, and base substitutions within the loop that favor such interactions are detrimental to viral RNA replication. Conserved adenosines in the 5' loop sequence that participate in a slide-back mechanism of VPg-pUpU synthesis are oriented to the inside of the loop but are available for base templating during uridylation. The structure explains why substitutions of the 3' loop nucleotides have little impact on conformation of the critical 5' loop bases and accounts for wide variation in the sequences of cres from different enteroviruses and rhinoviruses.

A pentatricopeptide repeat protein acts as a site-specificity factor at multiple RNA editing sites with unrelated cis-acting elements in plastids.

Project description:In plant organelles, RNA editing alters specific cytidine residues to uridine in transcripts. All of the site-specificity factors of RNA editing identified so far are pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins. A defect in a specific PPR protein often impairs RNA editing at multiple sites, at which the cis-acting elements are not highly conserved. The molecular mechanism for sharing a single PPR protein over multiple sites is still unclear. We focused here on the PPR proteins OTP82 and CRR22, the putative target elements of which are, respectively, partially and barely conserved. Recombinant OTP82 specifically bound to the -15 to 0 regions of its target sites. Recombinant CRR22 specifically bound to the -20 to 0 regions of the ndhB-7 and ndhD-5 sites and to the -17 to 0 region of the rpoB-3 site. Taking this information together with the genetic data, we conclude that OTP82 and CRR22 act as site-specificity factors at multiple sites in plastids. In addition, the high-affinity binding of CRR22 to unrelated cis-acting elements suggests that only certain specific nucleotides in a cis-acting element are sufficient for high-affinity binding of a PPR protein. The cis-acting elements can therefore be rather divergent and still be recognized by a single PPR protein.

Genome-scale <i>cis-</i>acting catabolite-responsive element editing confers <i>Bacillus pumilus</i> LG3145 plant-beneficial functions.

Project description:Rhizosphere dwelling microorganism such as Bacillus spp. are helpful for crop growth. However, these functions are adversely affected by long-term synthetic fertilizer application. We developed a modified CRISPR/Cas9 system using non-specific single-guide RNAs to disrupt the genome-wide cis-acting catabolite-responsive elements (cres) in a wild-type Bacillus pumilus strain, which conferred dual plant-benefit properties. Most of the mutations occurred around imperfectly matched cis-acting elements (cre-like sites) in genes that are mainly involved in carbon and secondary metabolism pathways. The comparative metabolomics and transcriptome results revealed that carbon is likely transferred to some pigments, such as riboflavin, carotenoid, and lycopene, or non-ribosomal peptides, such as siderophore, surfactin, myxochelin, and bacilysin, through the pentose phosphate and amino acid metabolism pathways. Collectively, these findings suggested that the mutation of global cre-like sequences in the genome might alter carbon flow, thereby allowing beneficial biological interactions between the rhizobacteria and plants.

A hepatitis C virus cis-acting replication element forms a long-range RNA-RNA interaction with upstream RNA sequences in NS5B.

Project description:The genome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) contains cis-acting replication elements (CREs) comprised of RNA stem-loop structures located in both the 5' and 3' noncoding regions (5' and 3' NCRs) and in the NS5B coding sequence. Through the application of several algorithmically independent bioinformatic methods to detect phylogenetically conserved, thermodynamically favored RNA secondary structures, we demonstrate a long-range interaction between sequences in the previously described CRE (5BSL3.2, now SL9266) with a previously predicted unpaired sequence located 3' to SL9033, approximately 200 nucleotides upstream. Extensive reverse genetic analysis both supports this prediction and demonstrates a functional requirement in genome replication. By mutagenesis of the Con-1 replicon, we show that disruption of this alternative pairing inhibited replication, a phenotype that could be restored to wild-type levels through the introduction of compensating mutations in the upstream region. Substitution of the CRE with the analogous region of different genotypes of HCV produced replicons with phenotypes consistent with the hypothesis that both local and long-range interactions are critical for a fundamental aspect of genome replication. This report further extends the known interactions of the SL9266 CRE, which has also been shown to form a "kissing loop" interaction with the 3' NCR (P. Friebe, J. Boudet, J. P. Simorre, and R. Bartenschlager, J. Virol. 79:380-392, 2005), and suggests that cooperative long-range binding with both 5' and 3' sequences stabilizes the CRE at the core of a complex pseudoknot. Alternatively, if the long-range interactions were mutually exclusive, the SL9266 CRE may function as a molecular switch controlling a critical aspect of HCV genome replication.
