Alternative 3' UTRs play a widespread role in translation-independent mRNA association with the endoplasmic reticulum.

ABSTRACT: Transcripts encoding membrane and secreted proteins are known to associate with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through translation. Here, using cell fractionation, polysome profiling, and 3' end sequencing, we show that transcripts differ substantially in translation-independent ER association (TiERA). Genes in certain functional groups, such as cell signaling, tend to have significantly higher TiERA potentials than others, suggesting the importance of ER association for their mRNA metabolism, such as localized translation. The TiERA potential of a transcript is determined largely by size, sequence content, and RNA structures. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) isoforms can have distinct TiERA potentials because of changes in transcript features. The widespread 3' UTR lengthening in cell differentiation leads to greater transcript association with the ER, especially for genes that are capable of expressing very long 3' UTRs. Our data also indicate that TiERA is in dynamic competition with translation-dependent ER association, suggesting limited space on the ER for mRNA association.

Alternative 3’UTRs play a widespread role in translation-independent mRNA association with endoplasmic reticulum

Project description:Transcripts encoding membrane and secreted proteins are known to undergo translation on endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Translation-independent ER association (TiERA) has been reported for certain mRNAs, but the phenomenon is poorly understood. Here, using cell fractionation, polysome profiling, and 3’ end sequencing, we examine TiERA of poly(A)+ RNAs in mouse C2C12 myoblast cells. We identify transcript features that facilitate TiERA, including transcript size and GG and GC content. Consistent with the feature analysis, alternative polyadenylation (APA) isoforms differ substantially in TiERA, with long 3’UTR isoforms generally having a higher TiERA potential than short 3’UTR isoforms. Importantly, the widespread 3’UTR lengthening taking place in cell differentiation leads to greater transcript association with ER in differentiated myotubes, despite that the TiERA potential being generally maintained. In addition, we show that TiERA correlates negatively with mRNA stability, highlighting 3’UTR-mediated mRNA decay on ER. Together, our data indicate that sequence and size features impact ER association independent of translation, leading to distinct mRNA metabolism for different transcript groups, and APA can alter transcript stability and translation through isoform-specific ER association.

Alternative 3’UTRs play a widespread role in mRNA association with the endomembrane system

Project description:Transcripts encoding membrane and secreted proteins are known to have translation on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through the signal recognition particle (SRP)-mediated mechanism. Translation-independent association of mRNAs with ER has also been reported, but poorly understood. Here, using 3’ end sequencing, we examine transcripts associated with polysomes on ER in mouse C2C12 cells. We identify transcript features that facilitate translation-independent ER association, including CDS size, 3’UTR size, and GC content. Interestingly, transcripts encoding nuclear proteins tend to have a higher ER association potential than other transcripts, suggesting localized translation to facilitate nuclear import. We show long 3’UTR isoforms are generally more likely to be associated with ER than short isoforms. Consistently, global shortening of 3’UTRs by knocking down CFI-25 expression leads to substantial alternation of mRNA association with ER. While ER association potentials of transcripts undifferentiated myoblasts are similar to those in differentiated myotubes, 3’UTR lengthening in differentiation leads to more transcripts associated with ER in myotubes. Moreover, translation-independent ER association correlates with low mRNA stability, which is exacerbated in cells with oxidative stress. Together, our data indicate that sequence and structure features of mRNAs facilitate ER association and translation, potentially impacting localization dynamics of protein products, and cellular stress remodels membrane-associated transcripts through mRNA stability regulation.

Translation- and SRP-independent mRNA targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:mRNAs encoding secreted/membrane proteins (mSMPs) are believed to reach the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a translation-dependent manner to confer protein translocation. Evidence exists, however, for translation- and signal recognition particle (SRP)-independent mRNA localization to the ER, suggesting that there are alternate paths for RNA delivery. We localized endogenously expressed mSMPs in yeast using an aptamer-based RNA-tagging procedure and fluorescence microscopy. Unlike mRNAs encoding polarity and secretion factors that colocalize with cortical ER at the bud tip, mSMPs and mRNAs encoding soluble, nonsecreted, nonpolarized proteins localized mainly to ER peripheral to the nucleus (nER). Synthetic nontranslatable uracil-rich mRNAs were also demonstrated to colocalize with nER in yeast. This mRNA-ER association was verified by subcellular fractionation and reverse transcription-PCR, single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization, and was not inhibited upon SRP inactivation. To better understand mSMP targeting, we examined aptamer-tagged USE1, which encodes a tail-anchored membrane protein, and SUC2, which encodes a soluble secreted enzyme. USE1 and SUC2 mRNA targeting was not abolished by the inhibition of translation or removal of elements involved in translational control. Overall we show that mSMP targeting to the ER is both translation- and SRP-independent, and regulated by cis elements contained within the message and trans-acting RNA-binding proteins (e.g., She2, Puf2).

Stable ribosome binding to the endoplasmic reticulum enables compartment-specific regulation of mRNA translation.

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, protein synthesis is compartmentalized; mRNAs encoding secretory/membrane proteins are translated on endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound ribosomes, whereas mRNAs encoding cytosolic proteins are translated on free ribosomes. mRNA partitioning between the two compartments occurs via positive selection: free ribosomes engaged in the translation of signal sequence-encoding mRNAs are trafficked from the cytosol to the ER. After translation termination, ER-bound ribosomes are thought to dissociate, thereby completing a cycle of mRNA partitioning. At present, the physiological basis for termination-coupled ribosome release is unknown. To gain insight into this process, we examined ribosome and mRNA partitioning during the unfolded protein response, key elements of which include suppression of the initiation stage of protein synthesis and polyribosome breakdown. We report that unfolded protein response (UPR)-elicited polyribosome breakdown resulted in the continued association, rather than release, of ER-bound ribosomes. Under these conditions, mRNA translation in the cytosol was suppressed, whereas mRNA translation on the ER was sustained. Furthermore, mRNAs encoding key soluble stress proteins (XBP-1 and ATF-4) were translated primarily on ER-bound ribosomes. These studies demonstrate that ribosome release from the ER is termination independent and identify new and unexpected roles for the ER compartment in the translational response to induction of the unfolded protein response.

The Perlman syndrome DIS3L2 exoribonuclease safeguards endoplasmic reticulum-targeted mRNA translation and calcium ion homeostasis.

Project description:DIS3L2-mediated decay (DMD) is a surveillance pathway for certain non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) including ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), transfer RNAs (tRNAs), small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), and RMRP. While mutations in DIS3L2 are associated with Perlman syndrome, the biological significance of impaired DMD is obscure and pathological RNAs have not been identified. Here, by ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq) we find specific dysregulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeted mRNA translation in DIS3L2-deficient cells. Mechanistically, DMD functions in the quality control of the 7SL ncRNA component of the signal recognition particle (SRP) required for ER-targeted translation. Upon DIS3L2 loss, sustained 3'-end uridylation of aberrant 7SL RNA impacts ER-targeted translation and causes ER calcium leakage. Consequently, elevated intracellular calcium in DIS3L2-deficient cells activates calcium signaling response genes and perturbs ESC differentiation. Thus, DMD is required to safeguard ER-targeted mRNA translation, intracellular calcium homeostasis, and stem cell differentiation.

Regulation of mRNA localization during the oocyte-to-embryo transition by regulated mRNA-endoplasmic reticulum association and remodeling of the endoplasmic reticulum

Project description:As an important post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism, asymmetric localization of mRNAs is essential for cell polarity and cell fate determination during early development. In an effort to understand localization of mRNAs encoding proteasome components during Xenopus oocyte-to-embryo transition, we discovered that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which is thought to mainly serve “house-keeping” roles in the cell, plays a multifaceted role in controlling localization of maternal RNAs. Our RNA-seq analysis of fractionated transcripts reveals that more than 40% of RNAs, including proteasome mRNAs, are present on the ER in Xenopus oocytes. After meiotic maturation, a large fraction of ER-associated RNA is released into the cytosol. The release of proteasome RNAs from the ER into the cytosol is conserved during mouse oocyte maturation. Our comparative proteomic analysis and ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitation demonstrate that the majority of ER-associated RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) remain associated with the ER after oocyte maturation. However, all ER-associated RBPs analyzed exhibit reduced binding to some of their target RNAs after oocyte maturation, providing a mechanistic explanation for the dynamic regulation of RNA-ER association. We further show that the ER is remodeled massively during Xenopus oocyte maturation, leading to the formation of a widespread tubular ER network in the animal hemisphere that is required for the asymmetric localization of proteasome mRNAs in mature eggs. To our knowledge, our findings demonstrate for the first time that dynamic regulation of RNA-ER association and remodeling of the ER are fundamentally important for asymmetric localization of RNAs during development.

Widespread generation of alternative UTRs contributes to sex-specific RNA binding by UNR.

Project description:Upstream of N-ras (UNR) is a conserved RNA-binding protein that regulates mRNA translation and stability by binding to sites generally located in untranslated regions (UTRs). In Drosophila, sex-specific binding of UNR to msl2 mRNA and the noncoding RNA roX is believed to play key roles in the control of X-chromosome dosage compensation in both sexes. To investigate broader sex-specific functions of UNR, we have identified its RNA targets in adult male and female flies by high-throughput RNA binding and transcriptome analysis. Here we show that UNR binds to a large set of protein-coding transcripts and to a smaller set of noncoding RNAs in a sex-specific fashion. The analyses also reveal a strong correlation between sex-specific binding of UNR and sex-specific differential expression of UTRs in target genes. Validation experiments indicate that UNR indeed recognizes sex-specifically processed transcripts. These results suggest that UNR exploits the transcript diversity generated by alternative processing and alternative promoter usage to bind and regulate target genes in a sex-specific manner.

p180 promotes the ribosome-independent localization of a subset of mRNA to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Project description:In metazoans, the majority of mRNAs coding for secreted and membrane-bound proteins are translated on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Although the targeting of these transcripts to the surface of the ER can be mediated by the translation of a signal sequence and their maintenance is mediated by interactions between the ribosome and the translocon, it is becoming increasingly clear that additional ER-localization pathways exist. Here we demonstrate that many of these mRNAs can be targeted to, and remain associated with, the ER independently of ribosomes and translation. Using a mass spectrometry analysis of proteins that associate with ER-bound polysomes, we identified putative mRNA receptors that may mediate this alternative mechanism, including p180, an abundant, positively charged membrane-bound protein. We demonstrate that p180 over-expression can enhance the association of generic mRNAs with the ER. We then show that p180 contains a lysine-rich region that can directly interact with RNA in vitro. Finally, we demonstrate that p180 is required for the efficient ER-anchoring of bulk poly(A) and of certain transcripts, such as placental alkaline phosphatase and calreticulin, to the ER. In summary, we provide, to our knowledge, the first mechanistic details for an alternative pathway to target and maintain mRNA at the ER. It is likely that this alternative pathway not only enhances the fidelity of protein sorting, but also localizes mRNAs to various subdomains of the ER and thus contributes to cellular organization.

Acute Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Independent Unconventional Splicing of XBP1 mRNA in the Nucleus of Mammalian Cells.

Project description:The regulation of expression of X-box-binding protein-1 (XBP1), a transcriptional factor, involves an unconventional mRNA splicing that removes the 26 nucleotides intron. In contrast to the conventional splicing that exclusively takes place in the nucleus, determining the location of unconventional splicing still remains controversial. This study was designed to examine whether the unconventional spicing of XBP1 mRNA could occur in the nucleus and its possible biological relevance. We use RT-PCR reverse transcription system and the expand high fidelity PCR system to detect spliced XBP1 mRNA, and fraction cells to determine the location of the unconventional splicing of XBP1 mRNA. We employ reporter constructs to show the presence of unconventional splicing machinery in mammal cells independently of acute endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Our results reveal the presence of basal unconventional splicing of XBP1 mRNA in the nucleus that also requires inositol-requiring transmembrane kinase and endonuclease 1? (IRE1?) and can occur independently of acute ER stress. Furthermore, we confirm that acute ER stress induces the splicing of XBP1 mRNA predominantly occurring in the cytoplasm, but it also promotes the splicing in the nucleus. The deletion of 5'-nucleotides in XBP1 mRNA significantly increases its basal unconventional splicing, suggesting that the secondary structure of XBP1 mRNA may determine the location of unconventional splicing. These results suggest that the unconventional splicing of XBP1 mRNA can take place in the nucleus and/or cytoplasm, which possibly depends on the elaborate regulation. The acute ER stress-independent unconventional splicing in the nucleus is most likely required for the maintaining of day-to-day folding protein homeostasis.
