DDX3X and DDX3Y are redundant in protein synthesis.

ABSTRACT: DDX3 is a DEAD-box RNA helicase that regulates translation and is encoded by the X- and Y-linked paralogs DDX3X and DDX3Y While DDX3X is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues and essential for viability, DDX3Y is male-specific and shows lower and more variable expression than DDX3X in somatic tissues. Heterozygous genetic lesions in DDX3X mediate a class of developmental disorders called DDX3X syndrome, while loss of DDX3Y is implicated in male infertility. One possible explanation for female-bias in DDX3X syndrome is that DDX3Y encodes a polypeptide with different biochemical activity. In this study, we use ribosome profiling and in vitro translation to demonstrate that the X- and Y-linked paralogs of DDX3 play functionally redundant roles in translation. We find that transcripts that are sensitive to DDX3X depletion or mutation are rescued by complementation with DDX3Y. Our data indicate that DDX3X and DDX3Y proteins can functionally complement each other in the context of mRNA translation in human cells. DDX3Y is not expressed in a large fraction of the central nervous system. These findings suggest that expression differences, not differences in paralog-dependent protein synthesis, underlie the sex-bias of DDX3X-associated diseases.

APEX-seq Captures the Protein-RNA Interaction Patterns of DDX3X and DDX3Y

Project description:Although stress granules (SGs) are composed of a stable core structure, they are surrounded by a dynamic shell with assembly, disassembly, and transitions of proteins and RNA between the core and shell. Different SGs have distinct proteins and RNA constituents, which raises the possibility that different SGs might perform different biological functions. The RNA compositions of DDX3X- or DDX3Y-positive SGs are not known, nor is it known what differential effects DDX3X or DDX3Y may exert on these RNA components. To understand the biological function and the compositional differences between DDX3X- or DDX3Y-positive SGs, we first determined the RNA constituents in these SGs using an adapted Ascorbate-peroxidase (APEX)-based proximity labeling method. APEX converts exogenously supplied biotin-phenol (BP) to biotin-phenoxyl radicals, which in turn covalently labels protein and RNA in nanometers. APEX-mediated biotinylation has been widely used in studies of protein-protein interactions and recently in studying protein-RNA interactions. Here, we applied the APEX-mediated biotinylation in DDX3X and DDX3Y SGs to dissect their different RNA composition.

Sexually dimorphic RNA helicases DDX3X and DDX3Y differentially regulate RNA metabolism through phase separation.

Project description:Sex differences are pervasive in human health and disease. One major key to sex-biased differences lies in the sex chromosomes. Although the functions of the X chromosome proteins are well appreciated, how they compare with their Y chromosome homologs remains elusive. Herein, using ensemble and single-molecule techniques, we report that the sex chromosome-encoded RNA helicases DDX3X and DDX3Y are distinct in their propensities for liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), dissolution, and translation repression. We demonstrate that the N-terminal intrinsically disordered region of DDX3Y more strongly promotes LLPS than the corresponding region of DDX3X and that the weaker ATPase activity of DDX3Y, compared with DDX3X, contributes to the slower disassembly dynamics of DDX3Y-positive condensates. Interestingly, DDX3Y-dependent LLPS represses mRNA translation and enhances aggregation of FUS more strongly than DDX3X-dependent LLPS. Our study provides a platform for future comparisons of sex chromosome-encoded protein homologs, providing insights into sex differences in RNA metabolism and human disease.

Transcriptome profiling of DDX3X/DDX3Y dependency after DDX3X gRNA targeting in KNS-42 parental cell lines, and rescue experiments with DDX3X or DDX3Y overexpressing cells (PACT).

Project description:Paralog dependency analysis of the DDX3X/DDX3Y genes through RNA-seq. Three types of KNS-42 cell lines are used in this experiment: one parental, one with a DDX3X over-expression (codon optimized) and one with DDX3Y over-expression (codon optimized). Targeting of the DDX3X gene is performed with guide RNAs 395 (TGGTACATGCGTATCCTTCA). The negative control is targeting AAVS1/PPP1R12C (AAVS1, GGGGCCACTAGGGACAGGAT). Samples were processed at 7 days after transduction. 3 independent repeats of the experiment were performed.

An azoospermic factor gene, Ddx3y and its paralog, Ddx3x are dispensable in germ cells for male fertility.

Project description:About 10% of male infertile patients show abnormalities in spermatogenesis. The microdeletion of azoospermia factor a (AZFa) region of the Y chromosome is thought to be a cause of spermatogenic failure. However, candidate gene responsible for the spermatogenic failure in AZFa deleted patients has not been elucidated yet. Using mice, we explored the function of Ddx3y, a strong candidate gene in the Azfa region, and Ddx3x, a Ddx3y paralog on the X chromosome, in spermatogenesis. We first generated Ddx3y KO male mice using CRISPR/Cas9 and found that the Ddx3y KO male mice show normal spermatogenesis, produce morphologically normal spermatozoa, and sire healthy offspring. Because Ddx3x KO males were embryonic lethal, we next generated chimeric mice, which contain Ddx3x and Ddx3y double KO (dKO) germ cells, and found that the dKO germ cells can differentiate into spermatozoa and transmit their mutant alleles to offspring by normal mating. We conclude that Ddx3x and Ddx3y are dispensable for spermatogenesis at least in mice. Unlike human, mice have an additional Ddx3y paralog D1pas1, that has been reported to be essential for spermatogenesis. These findings suggest that human and mouse DDX3 related proteins have distinct differences in their functions.

APEX-seq performed for DDX3X and DDX3Y without arsenite treatment

Project description:Sex differences are pervasive in human health and disease. One of the major keys to sex-biased differences lies in the sex chromosomes, which encode a group of sex-specific protein homologs. Although the functions of the X chromosome proteins are well appreciated, how they compare with their Y chromosome homologs remains elusive. One pair of sex chromosome-encoded proteins are the RNA helicases DDX3X and DDX3Y. DDX3X and DDX3Y can both form stress granules (SGs) under different types of stress. SGs are composed of a stable core structure, they are surrounded by a dynamic shell with assembly, disassembly, and transitions of proteins and RNA between the core and shell. Different SGs have distinct proteins and RNA constituents, which raises the possibility that different SGs might perform different biological functions. Previously, we performed APEX-seq to explore the RNA compositions in DDX3X and DDX3Y SGs, however, the difference between the mRNA partner of DDX3X and DDX3Y without stress treatment is still uncharted. Therefore, we applied the APEX-seq to cytosome diffused DDX3X and DDX3Y.

Male-specific lymphomagenesis by serial inverse dysregulation of the RNA helicases DDX3X and DDX3Y.

Project description:DDX3X is a ubiquitously expressed RNA helicase involved in multiple stages of RNA biogenesis. DDX3X is frequently mutated in Burkitt lymphoma but the functional basis for this is unknown. Here, we show that loss-of-function DDX3X mutations are also commonly found in MYC-translocated diffuse large B cell lymphoma and reveal functional co-operation between mutant DDX3X and MYC. We show that DDX3X promotes translation of mRNAs encoding components of the core translational machinery, thereby driving global protein synthesis. Loss-of-function DDX3X mutations moderate MYC-driven global protein synthesis, thereby buffering MYC-induced proteotoxic stress during early lymphomagenesis. Established lymphoma cells subsequently restore full protein synthetic capacity by ectopic expression of DDX3Y, a Y-chromosome homologue that is normally expressed exclusively in testis. These findings highlight the vulnerability of MYC-driven lymphoma to proteotoxic stress and identify an unexpected male-specific mechanism of carcinogenesis, namely the commandeering of a testis-specific Y-chromosome gene to drive full malignant transformation.
