NMD-degradome sequencing reveals ribosome-bound intermediates with 3'-end non-templated nucleotides.

ABSTRACT: Nonsense-mediated messenger RNA decay (NMD) controls mRNA quality and degrades physiologic mRNAs to fine-tune gene expression in changing developmental or environmental milieus. NMD requires that its targets are removed from the translating pool of mRNAs. Since the decay steps of mammalian NMD remain unknown, we developed assays to isolate and sequence direct NMD decay intermediates transcriptome-wide based on their co-immunoprecipitation with phosphorylated UPF1, which is the active form of this essential NMD factor. We show that, unlike steady-state UPF1, phosphorylated UPF1 binds predominantly deadenylated mRNA decay intermediates and activates NMD cooperatively from 5'- and 3'-ends. We leverage method modifications to characterize the 3'-ends of NMD decay intermediates, show that they are ribosome-bound, and reveal that some are subject to the addition of non-templated nucleotide. Uridines are added by TUT4 and TUT7 terminal uridylyl transferases and removed by the Perlman syndrome-associated exonuclease DIS3L2. The addition of other non-templated nucleotides appears to inhibit decay.

NMD-degradome sequencing reveals ribosome-bound intermediates with 3'-end nontemplated nucleotides

Project description:Transcriptome-wide methodology is developed to capture and sequence decay intermediates deriving from direct NMD targets. Results demonstrate that mammalian-cell NMD generates decay intermediates in a process that involves the covalent addition of nontemplated U, C, G and A nucleotides to 3'-ends. Variations of this methodology demonstrate that these decay intermediates arise co-translationally.

EnD-Seq and AppEnD: Sequencing 3' ends to identify non-templated tails and degradation intermediates

Project description:Existing methods for detecting RNA intermediates resulting from exonuclease degradation are low-throughput and laborious. In addition, mapping the 3’ ends of RNA molecules to the genome after high-throughput sequencing is challenging, particularly if the 3’ ends contain posttranscriptional modifications. To address these problems, we developed EnD-Seq, a high-throughput sequencing protocol that preserves the 3’ end of RNA molecules, and AppEnD, a computational method for analyzing high-throughput sequencing data. Together these allow determination of the 3’ ends of RNA molecules, including nontemplated additions. Applying EnD-Seq and AppEnD to histone mRNAs revealed that a significant fraction of cytoplasmic histone mRNAs end in one or two uridines, which have replaced the 1-2 nts at the 3’ end of mature histone mRNA maintaining the length of the histone transcripts. Histone genes in fly embryos and ovaries show the same pattern, but with different tail nucleotide compositions. We increase the sensitivity of EnD-Seq by using cDNA priming to specifically enrich low-abundance tails of known sequence composition allowing identification of degradation intermediates. In addition, we show the broad applicability of our computational approach by using AppEnD to gain insight into 3’ additions from diverse types of sequencing data, including data from small capped RNA sequencing and some alternative polyadenylation protocols.

Nanopore sequencing reveals endogenous NMD-targeted isoforms in human cells.

Project description:BackgroundNonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a eukaryotic, translation-dependent degradation pathway that targets mRNAs with premature termination codons and also regulates the expression of some mRNAs that encode full-length proteins. Although many genes express NMD-sensitive transcripts, identifying them based on short-read sequencing data remains a challenge.ResultsTo identify and analyze endogenous targets of NMD, we apply cDNA Nanopore sequencing and short-read sequencing to human cells with varying expression levels of NMD factors. Our approach detects full-length NMD substrates that are highly unstable and increase in levels or even only appear when NMD is inhibited. Among the many new NMD-targeted isoforms that our analysis identifies, most derive from alternative exon usage. The isoform-aware analysis reveals many genes with significant changes in splicing but no significant changes in overall expression levels upon NMD knockdown. NMD-sensitive mRNAs have more exons in the 3΄UTR and, for those mRNAs with a termination codon in the last exon, the length of the 3΄UTR per se does not correlate with NMD sensitivity. Analysis of splicing signals reveals isoforms where NMD has been co-opted in the regulation of gene expression, though the main function of NMD seems to be ridding the transcriptome of isoforms resulting from spurious splicing events.ConclusionsLong-read sequencing enables the identification of many novel NMD-sensitive mRNAs and reveals both known and unexpected features concerning their biogenesis and their biological role. Our data provide a highly valuable resource of human NMD transcript targets for future genomic and transcriptomic applications.

Human NMD ensues independently of stable ribosome stalling.

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a translation-dependent RNA degradation pathway that is important for the elimination of faulty, and the regulation of normal, mRNAs. The molecular details of the early steps in NMD are not fully understood but previous work suggests that NMD activation occurs as a consequence of ribosome stalling at the termination codon (TC). To test this hypothesis, we established an in vitro translation-coupled toeprinting assay based on lysates from human cells that allows monitoring of ribosome occupancy at the TC of reporter mRNAs. In contrast to the prevailing NMD model, our in vitro system reveals similar ribosomal occupancy at the stop codons of NMD-sensitive and NMD-insensitive reporter mRNAs. Moreover, ribosome profiling reveals a similar density of ribosomes at the TC of endogenous NMD-sensitive and NMD-insensitive mRNAs in vivo. Together, these data show that NMD activation is not accompanied by stable stalling of ribosomes at TCs.

Combined small RNA and degradome sequencing reveals complex microRNA regulation of catechin biosynthesis in tea (Camellia sinensis).

Project description:MicroRNAs are endogenous non-coding small RNAs playing crucial regulatory roles in plants. Tea, a globally popular non-alcoholic drink, is rich in health-enhancing catechins. In this study, 69 conserved and 47 novel miRNAs targeting 644 genes were identified by high-throughout sequencing. Predicted target genes of miRNAs were mainly involved in plant growth, signal transduction, morphogenesis and defense. To further identify targets of tea miRNAs, degradome sequencing and RNA ligase-mediated rapid amplification of 5'cDNA ends (RLM-RACE) were applied. Using degradome sequencing, 26 genes mainly involved in transcription factor, resistance protein and signal transduction protein synthesis were identified as potential miRNA targets, with 5 genes subsequently verified. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) revealed that the expression patterns of novel-miR1, novel-miR2, csn-miR160a, csn-miR162a, csn-miR394 and csn-miR396a were negatively correlated with catechin content. The expression of six miRNAs (csn-miRNA167a, csn-miR2593e, csn-miR4380a, csn-miR3444b, csn-miR5251 and csn-miR7777-5p.1) and their target genes involved in catechin biosynthesis were also analyzed by qRT-PCR. Negative and positive correlations were found between these miRNAs and catechin contents, while positive correlations were found between their target genes and catechin content. This result suggests that these miRNAs may negatively regulate catechin biosynthesis by down-regulating their biosynthesis-related target genes. Taken together, our results indicate that miRNAs are crucial regulators in tea, with the results of 5'-RLM-RACE and expression analyses revealing the important role of miRNAs in catechin anabolism. Our findings should facilitate future research to elucidate the function of miRNAs in catechin biosynthesis.

SrmB Rescues Trapped Ribosome Assembly Intermediates.

Project description:RNA helicases play various roles in ribosome biogenesis depending on the ribosome assembly pathway and stress state of the cell. However, it is unclear how most RNA helicases interact with ribosome assembly intermediates or participate in other cell processes to regulate ribosome assembly. SrmB is a DEAD-box helicase that acts early in the ribosome assembly process, although very little is known about its mechanism of action. Here, we use a combined quantitative mass spectrometry/cryo-electron microscopy approach to detail the protein inventory, rRNA modification state, and structures of 40S ribosomal intermediates that form upon SrmB deletion. We show that the binding site of SrmB is unperturbed by SrmB deletion, but the peptidyl transferase center, the uL7/12 stalk, and 30S contact sites all show severe assembly defects. Taking into account existing data on SrmB function and the experiments presented here, we propose several mechanisms by which SrmB could guide assembling particles from kinetic traps to competent subunits during the 50S ribosome assembly process.
