Srsf10 and the minor spliceosome control tissue-specific and dynamic SR protein expression.

ABSTRACT: Minor and major spliceosomes control splicing of distinct intron types and are thought to act largely independent of one another. SR proteins are essential splicing regulators mostly connected to the major spliceosome. Here, we show that Srsf10 expression is controlled through an autoregulated minor intron, tightly correlating Srsf10 with minor spliceosome abundance across different tissues and differentiation stages in mammals. Surprisingly, all other SR proteins also correlate with the minor spliceosome and Srsf10, and abolishing Srsf10 autoregulation by Crispr/Cas9-mediated deletion of the autoregulatory exon induces expression of all SR proteins in a human cell line. Our data thus reveal extensive crosstalk and a global impact of the minor spliceosome on major intron splicing.

Tissue-specific expression and dynamic organization of SR splicing factors in Arabidopsis.

Project description:The organization of the pre-mRNA splicing machinery has been extensively studied in mammalian and yeast cells and far less is known in living plant cells and different cell types of an intact organism. Here, we report on the expression, organization, and dynamics of pre-mRNA splicing factors (SR33, SR1/atSRp34, and atSRp30) under control of their endogenous promoters in Arabidopsis. Distinct tissue-specific expression patterns were observed, and differences in the distribution of these proteins within nuclei of different cell types were identified. These factors localized in a cell type-dependent speckled pattern as well as being diffusely distributed throughout the nucleoplasm. Electron microscopic analysis has revealed that these speckles correspond to interchromatin granule clusters. Time-lapse microscopy revealed that speckles move within a constrained nuclear space, and their organization is altered during the cell cycle. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching analysis revealed a rapid exchange rate of splicing factors in nuclear speckles. The dynamic organization of plant speckles is closely related to the transcriptional activity of the cells. The organization and dynamic behavior of speckles in Arabidopsis cell nuclei provides significant insight into understanding the functional compartmentalization of the nucleus and its relationship to chromatin organization within various cell types of a single organism.

Minor spliceosome components are predominantly localized in the nucleus.

Project description:Recently, it has been reported that there is a differential subcellular distribution of components of the minor U12-dependent and major U2-dependent spliceosome, and further that the minor spliceosome functions in the cytoplasm. To study the subcellular localization of the snRNA components of both the major and minor spliceosomes, we performed in situ hybridizations with mouse tissues and human cells. In both cases, all spliceosomal snRNAs were nearly exclusively detected in the nucleus, and the minor U11 and U12 snRNAs were further shown to colocalize with U4 and U2, respectively, in human cells. Additionally, we examined the distribution of several spliceosomal snRNAs and proteins in nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions isolated from human cells. These studies revealed an identical subcellular distribution of components of both the U12- and U2-dependent spliceosomes. Thus, our data, combined with several earlier publications, establish that, like the major spliceosome, components of the U12-dependent spliceosome are localized predominantly in the nucleus.

USP15 regulates dynamic protein-protein interactions of the spliceosome through deubiquitination of PRP31.

Project description:Post-translational modifications contribute to the spliceosome dynamics by facilitating the physical rearrangements of the spliceosome. Here, we report USP15, a deubiquitinating enzyme, as a regulator of protein-protein interactions for the spliceosome dynamics. We show that PRP31, a component of U4 snRNP, is modified with K63-linked ubiquitin chains by the PRP19 complex and deubiquitinated by USP15 and its substrate targeting factor SART3. USP15SART3 makes a complex with USP4 and this ternary complex serves as a platform to deubiquitinate PRP31 and PRP3. The ubiquitination and deubiquitination status of PRP31 regulates its interaction with the U5 snRNP component PRP8, which is required for the efficient splicing of chromosome segregation related genes, probably by stabilizing the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP complex. Collectively, our data suggest that USP15 plays a key role in the regulation of dynamic protein-protein interactions of the spliceosome.

RNA components of the spliceosome regulate tissue- and cancer-specific alternative splicing.

Project description:Alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs plays a pivotal role during the establishment and maintenance of human cell types. Characterizing the trans-acting regulatory proteins that control alternative splicing has therefore been the focus of much research. Recent work has established that even core protein components of the spliceosome, which are required for splicing to proceed, can nonetheless contribute to splicing regulation by modulating splice site choice. We here show that the RNA components of the spliceosome likewise influence alternative splicing decisions. Although these small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), termed U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6 snRNA, are present in equal stoichiometry within the spliceosome, we found that their relative levels vary by an order of magnitude during development, across tissues, and across cancer samples. Physiologically relevant perturbation of individual snRNAs drove widespread gene-specific differences in alternative splicing but not transcriptome-wide splicing failure. Genes that were particularly sensitive to variations in snRNA abundance in a breast cancer cell line model were likewise preferentially misspliced within a clinically diverse cohort of invasive breast ductal carcinomas. As aberrant mRNA splicing is prevalent in many cancers, we propose that a full understanding of such dysregulated pre-mRNA processing requires study of snRNAs, as well as protein splicing factors. Together, our data show that the RNA components of the spliceosome are not merely basal factors, as has long been assumed. Instead, these noncoding RNAs constitute a previously uncharacterized layer of regulation of alternative splicing, and contribute to the establishment of global splicing programs in both healthy and malignant cells.

Chromosomal instability by mutations in the novel minor spliceosome component CENATAC.

Project description:Aneuploidy is the leading cause of miscarriage and congenital birth defects, and a hallmark of cancer. Despite this strong association with human disease, the genetic causes of aneuploidy remain largely unknown. Through exome sequencing of patients with constitutional mosaic aneuploidy, we identified biallelic truncating mutations in CENATAC (CCDC84). We show that CENATAC is a novel component of the minor (U12-dependent) spliceosome that promotes splicing of a specific, rare minor intron subtype. This subtype is characterized by AT-AN splice sites and relatively high basal levels of intron retention. CENATAC depletion or expression of disease mutants resulted in excessive retention of AT-AN minor introns in ˜ 100 genes enriched for nucleocytoplasmic transport and cell cycle regulators, and caused chromosome segregation errors. Our findings reveal selectivity in minor intron splicing and suggest a link between minor spliceosome defects and constitutional aneuploidy in humans.

Defective minor spliceosome mRNA processing results in isolated familial growth hormone deficiency.

Project description:The molecular basis of a significant number of cases of isolated growth hormone deficiency remains unknown. We describe three sisters affected with severe isolated growth hormone deficiency and pituitary hypoplasia caused by biallelic mutations in the RNPC3 gene, which codes for a minor spliceosome protein required for U11/U12 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) formation and splicing of U12-type introns. We found anomalies in U11/U12 di-snRNP formation and in splicing of multiple U12-type introns in patient cells. Defective transcripts include preprohormone convertases SPCS2 and SPCS3 and actin-related ARPC5L genes, which are candidates for the somatotroph-restricted dysfunction. The reported novel mechanism for familial growth hormone deficiency demonstrates that general mRNA processing defects of the minor spliceosome can lead to very narrow tissue-specific consequences.

Tissue-specific dynamic codon redefinition in Drosophila.

Project description:Translational stop codon readthrough occurs in organisms ranging from viruses to mammals and is especially prevalent in decoding Drosophila and viral mRNAs. Recoding of UGA, UAG, or UAA to specify an amino acid allows a proportion of the protein encoded by a single gene to be C-terminally extended. The extended product from Drosophila kelch mRNA is 160 kDa, whereas unextended Kelch protein, a subunit of a Cullin3-RING ubiquitin ligase, is 76 kDa. Previously we reported tissue-specific regulation of readthrough of the first kelch stop codon. Here, we characterize major efficiency differences in a variety of cell types. Immunoblotting revealed low levels of readthrough in malpighian tubules, ovary, and testis but abundant readthrough product in lysates of larval and adult central nervous system (CNS) tissue. Reporters of readthrough demonstrated greater than 30% readthrough in adult brains, and imaging in larval and adult brains showed that readthrough occurred in neurons but not glia. The extent of readthrough stimulatory sequences flanking the readthrough stop codon was assessed in transgenic Drosophila and in human tissue culture cells where inefficient readthrough occurs. A 99-nucleotide sequence with potential to form an mRNA stem-loop 3' of the readthrough stop codon stimulated readthrough efficiency. However, even with just six nucleotides of kelch mRNA sequence 3' of the stop codon, readthrough efficiency only dropped to 6% in adult neurons. Finally, we show that high-efficiency readthrough in the Drosophila CNS is common; for many neuronal proteins, C-terminal extended forms of individual proteins are likely relatively abundant.

Dynamic control of enhancer activity drives stage-specific gene expression during flower morphogenesis.

Project description:Enhancers are critical for developmental stage-specific gene expression, but their dynamic regulation in plants remains poorly understood. Here we compare genome-wide localization of H3K27ac, chromatin accessibility and transcriptomic changes during flower development in Arabidopsis. H3K27ac prevalently marks promoter-proximal regions, suggesting that H3K27ac is not a hallmark for enhancers in Arabidopsis. We provide computational and experimental evidence to confirm that distal DNase І hypersensitive sites are predictive of enhancers. The predicted enhancers are highly stage-specific across flower development, significantly associated with SNPs for flowering-related phenotypes, and conserved across crucifer species. Through the integration of genome-wide transcription factor (TF) binding datasets, we find that floral master regulators and stage-specific TFs are largely enriched at developmentally dynamic enhancers. Finally, we show that enhancer clusters and intronic enhancers significantly associate with stage-specific gene regulation by floral master TFs. Our study provides insights into the functional flexibility of enhancers during plant development, as well as hints to annotate plant enhancers.

A comparative approach to understanding tissue-specific expression of uncoupling protein 1 expression in adipose tissue.

Project description:The thermoregulatory function of brown adipose tissue (BAT) is due to the tissue-specific expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) which is thought to have evolved in early mammals. We report that a CpG island close to the UCP1 transcription start site is highly conserved in all 29 vertebrates examined apart from the mouse and xenopus. Using methylation sensitive restriction digest and bisulfite mapping we show that the CpG island in both the bovine and human is largely un-methylated and is not related to differences in UCP1 expression between white and BAT. Tissue-specific expression of UCP1 has been proposed to be regulated by a conserved 5' distal enhancer which has been reported to be absent in marsupials. We demonstrate that the enhancer, is also absent in five eutherians as well as marsupials, monotremes, amphibians, and fish, is present in pigs despite UCP1 having become a pseudogene, and that absence of the enhancer element does not relate to BAT-specific UCP1 expression. We identify an additional putative 5' regulatory unit which is conserved in 14 eutherian species but absent in other eutherians and vertebrates, but again unrelated to UCP1 expression. We conclude that despite clear evidence of conservation of regulatory elements in the UCP1 5' untranslated region, this does not appear to be related to species or tissues-specific expression of UCP1.

Specific SR protein-dependent splicing substrates identified through genomic SELEX.

Project description:The Drosophila pre-mRNA splicing factor B52 (SRp55) is essential for fly development, but splicing of RNAs of specific genes tested previously is normal in B52-null animals, presumably due to partial functional redundancy with other SR proteins. To identify B52-dependent splicing substrates in vivo, we selected genomic sequence fragments whose transcripts bind B52. Almost all of the corresponding genes having a known function encode either transcription factors or components of signal transduction pathways, with the B52- binding fragments located to not only exonic but also intronic regions. Some pre-mRNAs from these genes showed splicing defects in the B52-null mutant. These results indicate that B52 has unique functions in the removal of some introns during development, and plays a critical role in cellular regulatory networks.
