Dynamic and widespread control of poly(A) tail length during macrophage activation.

ABSTRACT: The poly(A) tail enhances translation and transcript stability, and tail length is under dynamic control during cell state transitions. Tail regulation plays essential roles in translational timing and fertilization in early development, but poly(A) tail dynamics have not been fully explored in post-embryonic systems. Here, we examined the landscape and impact of tail length control during macrophage activation. Upon activation, more than 1500 mRNAs, including proinflammatory genes, underwent distinctive changes in tail lengths. Increases in tail length correlated with mRNA levels regardless of transcriptional activity, and many mRNAs that underwent tail extension encode proteins necessary for immune function and post-transcriptional regulation. Strikingly, we found that ZFP36, whose protein product destabilizes target transcripts, undergoes tail extension. Our analyses indicate that many mRNAs undergoing tail lengthening are, in turn, degraded by elevated levels of ZFP36, constituting a post-transcriptional feedback loop that ensures transient regulation of transcripts integral to macrophage activation. Taken together, this study establishes the complexity, relevance, and widespread nature of poly(A) tail dynamics, and the resulting post-transcriptional regulation during macrophage activation.

Regulation of coronaviral poly(A) tail length during infection.

Project description:The positive-strand coronavirus genome of ~30 kilobase in length and subgenomic (sg) mRNAs of shorter lengths, are 5' and 3'-co-terminal by virtue of a common 5'-capped leader and a common 3'-polyadenylated untranslated region. Here, by ligating head-to-tail viral RNAs from bovine coronavirus-infected cells and sequencing across the ligated junctions, it was learned that at the time of peak viral RNA synthesis [6 hours postinfection (hpi)] the 3' poly(A) tail on genomic and sgmRNAs is ~65 nucleotides (nt) in length. Surprisingly, this length was found to vary throughout infection from ~45 nt immediately after virus entry (at 0 to 4 hpi) to ~65 nt later on (at 6 h to 9 hpi) and from ~65 nt (at 6 h to 9 hpi) to ~30 nt (at 120-144 hpi). With the same method, poly(U) sequences of the same lengths were simultaneously found on the ligated viral negative-strand RNAs. Functional analyses of poly(A) tail length on specific viral RNA species, furthermore, revealed that translation, in vivo, of RNAs with the longer poly(A) tail was enhanced over those with the shorter poly(A). Although the mechanisms by which the tail lengths vary is unknown, experimental results together suggest that the length of the poly(A) and poly(U) tails is regulated. One potential function of regulated poly(A) tail length might be that for the coronavirus genome a longer poly(A) favors translation. The regulation of coronavirus translation by poly(A) tail length resembles that during embryonal development suggesting there may be mechanistic parallels.

Nucleophosmin deposition during mRNA 3' end processing influences poly(A) tail length.

Project description:During polyadenylation, the multi-functional protein nucleophosmin (NPM1) is deposited onto all cellular mRNAs analysed to date. Premature termination of poly(A) tail synthesis in the presence of cordycepin abrogates deposition of the protein onto the mRNA, indicating natural termination of poly(A) addition is required for NPM1 binding. NPM1 appears to be a bona fide member of the complex involved in 3' end processing as it is associated with the AAUAAA-binding CPSF factor and can be co-immunoprecipitated with other polyadenylation factors. Furthermore, reduction in the levels of NPM1 results in hyperadenylation of mRNAs, consistent with alterations in poly(A) tail chain termination. Finally, knockdown of NPM1 results in retention of poly(A)(+) RNAs in the cell nucleus, indicating that NPM1 influences mRNA export. Collectively, these data suggest that NPM1 has an important role in poly(A) tail length determination and may help network 3' end processing with other aspects of nuclear mRNA maturation.

Genome-wide measurement of LPS-induced Poly(A) tail length changes in macrophage cells

Project description:We applied Tail-end-displacement sequencing (TED-seq) for high-throughput profiling of poly(A) tail length dynamics induced by LPS stimulation in macrophage cells. We generate a time-course poly(A) tail length profiles in PMA-differentated THP-1 cells upon LPS stimulation (unstimulated, and post-stimulation 1, 2, and 4 h). This approach enabled us to profile induced poly(A) tail length dynamics with high accuracy and with 3´isoform resolution, generating a comprehensive view of poly(A) tail length dynamics induced upon an environmental signal in post-embryonic systems, and its biological implications.

Poly(A) Tail Length of L4 C. elegans

Project description:Poly(A) tails are important elements in mRNA translation and stability. However, recent genome-wide studies concluded that poly(A) tail length was generally not associated with translational efficiency in non-embryonic cells. To investigate if poly(A) tail size might be coupled to gene expression in an intact organism, we used an adapted TAIL-seq protocol to measure poly(A) tails in Caenorhabditis elegans. Surprisingly, we found that well-expressed transcripts contain relatively short, well-defined tails. This attribute appears dependent on translational efficiency, as transcripts enriched for optimal codons and ribosome association had the shortest tail sizes, while non-coding RNAs retained long tails.

Cap homeostasis is independent of poly(A) tail length.

Project description:Cap homeostasis is a cyclical process of decapping and recapping that maintains the cap on a subset of the cytoplasmic transcriptome. Interfering with cytoplasmic capping results in the redistribution of target transcripts from polysomes to non-translating mRNPs, where they accumulate in an uncapped but nonetheless stable form. It is generally thought that decapping is preceded by shortening of the poly(A) tail to a length that can no longer support translation. Therefore recapped target transcripts would either have to undergo cytoplasmic polyadenylation or retain a reasonably long poly(A) tail if they are to return to the translating pool. In cells that are inhibited for cytoplasmic capping there is no change in the overall distribution of poly(A) lengths or in the elution profile of oligo(dT)-bound targets. Poly(A) tail lengths were similar for target mRNAs on polysomes or in non-translating mRNPs, and the presence of polyadenylated uncapped mRNA in mRNPs was confirmed by separation into capped and uncapped pools prior to assay. Finally, in silico analysis of cytoplasmic capping targets revealed significant correlations with genes encoding transcripts with uridylated or multiply modified 3' ends, and genes possessing multiple 3'-untranslated regions (UTRs) generated by alternative cleavage and polyadenylation.

Control of poly(A)-tail length and translation in vertebrate oocytes and early embryos

Project description:During oocyte maturation and early embryonic development, poly(A)-tail lengths strongly influence mRNA translation. However, how tail lengths are controlled at different developmental stages has been unclear. Here, we performed tail-length and translational profiling of mRNA reporter libraries (each with > 10 million 3ʹ-UTR sequence variants) in frog oocytes and embryos, and fish embryos. These analyses revealed that the UUUUA motif specifies cytoplasmic polyadenylation and identified diverse context features that modulate the activity of this 5-mer. Additional sequence motifs drive stage-specific deadenylation in embryos, and UUUUA and C-rich motifs drive tail-length-independent translational repression in oocytes. A neural network model accurately predicts tail-length change during oocyte maturation in frogs, mice, and humans. Analyses of human sequence variants showed that those predicted to disrupt tail-length control have been under negative selection, implying that our insights into control of poly(A)-tail length and translation have implications for human health and fertility.

Oppositional Poly(A) Tail Length Regulation by FMRP and CPEB1

Project description:Poly(A) tail length is regulated in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. One factor that controls polyadenylation in the cytoplasm is CPEB1, an RNA binding protein that associates with specific mRNA 3’UTR sequences to tether enzymes that add and remove poly(A). Two of these enzymes, the noncanonical poly(A) polymerases Gld2 (TENT2, PAPD4, Wispy) and Gld4 (TENT4B, PAPD5, TRF4, TUT3), interact with CPEB1 to extend poly(A). To identify additional RNA binding proteins that might anchor Gld4 to RNA, we expressed double tagged Gld4 in U87MG cells, which was used for sequential immunoprecipitation and elution followed by mass spectrometry. We identified several RNA binding proteins that co-precipitated with Gld4, among which was FMRP. To assess whether FMRP regulates polyadenylation, we performed TAIL-seq from WT and FMRP-deficient HEK293 cells. Surprisingly, loss of FMRP resulted in an overall increase in poly(A), which was also observed for several specific mRNAs. Conversely, loss of CPEB1 elicited an expected decrease in poly(A), which was examined in cultured neurons. We also examined polyadenylation in wild type (WT) and FMRP-deficient mouse brain cortex by direct RNA Nanopore™ sequencing, which identified RNAs with both increased and decreased poly(A). Our data show that FMRP has a role in mediating poly(A) tail length, which adds to its repertoire of RNA regulation.
