β-Actin mRNA interactome mapping by proximity biotinylation.

ABSTRACT: The molecular function and fate of mRNAs are controlled by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Identification of the interacting proteome of a specific mRNA in vivo remains very challenging, however. Based on the widely used technique of RNA tagging with MS2 aptamers for RNA visualization, we developed a RNA proximity biotinylation (RNA-BioID) technique by tethering biotin ligase (BirA*) via MS2 coat protein at the 3' UTR of endogenous MS2-tagged β-actin mRNA in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. We demonstrate the dynamics of the β-actin mRNA interactome by characterizing its changes on serum-induced localization of the mRNA. Apart from the previously known interactors, we identified more than 60 additional β-actin-associated RBPs by RNA-BioID. Among these, the KH domain-containing protein FUBP3/MARTA2 has been shown to be required for β-actin mRNA localization. We found that FUBP3 binds to the 3' UTR of β-actin mRNA and is essential for β-actin mRNA localization, but does not interact with the characterized β-actin zipcode element. RNA-BioID provides a tool for identifying new mRNA interactors and studying the dynamic view of the interacting proteome of endogenous mRNAs in space and time.

Project description:Mapping protein-protein interactions for chromatin-associated proteins remains challenging. Here we explore the use of BioID, a proximity biotinylation approach in which a mutated biotin ligase (BirA*) is fused to a bait of interest, allowing for the local activation of biotin and subsequent biotinylation of proteins in the bait vicinity. BioID allowed for successful interactome mapping of core histones and members of the mediator complex. We explored the background signal produced by the BioID approach and found that using distinct types of controls increased the stringency of our statistical analysis with SAINTexpress. A direct comparison of BioID with our AP-MS protocol optimized for chromatin-associated protein complexes revealed that the approaches identified few shared interaction partners and enriched for distinct biological processes; yet, both approaches permitted the recovery of biologically meaningful interactions. While no clear bias could be observed for either technique toward protein complexes of particular functions, BioID allowed for the purification of proteins of lower cellular abundance. Finally, we were able to identify a strong association of MED4 with the centrosome by BioID and validated this finding by immunofluorescence. In summary, BioID complements AP-MS for the study of chromatin-associated protein complexes.Biological significanceThis manuscript describes the application of BioID, a proximity biotinylation approach, to chromatin-associated proteins, namely core histones and members of the mediator complex. We observed that BioID was successful at identifying known interaction partners for the baits tested, but also allowed novel putative interaction partners to be identified. By performing a detailed comparison of BioID versus a standard method for interactome mapping (affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry, AP-MS), we show that the approaches were complementary, allowing for purification of different interaction partners. These interaction partners were different in the biological processes they are associated with, but also in their abundance. BioID represents a significant technical development in the field of chromatin research by expanding the search space for interactome mapping beyond what is possible with AP-MS.
