Nucleo-cytoplasmic relationships of high-molecular-weight ribonucleic acid, including polyadenylated species, in the developing rat brain.

ABSTRACT: The metabolism of high-molecular-weight RNA in the nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions of newborn and adult rat brain was investigated after the intracranial administration of [32P]Pi. In young brain, a considerable proportion of the newly synthesized radioactive RNA is transferred to the cytoplasm, in contrast with the adult brain, where there appears to be a high intranuclear turnover. Electrophoretic analysis of the newly synthesized RNA showed that processing of the rRNA precursor to yield the 28S and 18S rRNA may be more rapid in the adult than in the young, although most of the adult rRNA in the nucleus is not transferred to the cytoplasm. In young brain, processing is probably tightly coupled to transport of rRNA into the cytoplasm, so that 28S and 18S rRNA are not subjected to possible degradation within the nucleus. Polyadenylated RNA turns over in concert with high-molecular-weight RNA in the nuclei of the adult rat brain. In the cytoplasm the polyadenylated RNA has a higher turnover rate relative to rRNA. In the young brain the polyadenylated RNA is transferred to the cytoplasm along with rRNA, although polyadenylated RNA is transported into the cytoplasm at a faster rate. The nuclear and cytoplasmic polyadenylated RNA species of young brain are larger than their corresponding adult counterparts. These results suggest that there are considerable changes in the regulation of the nucleo-cytoplasmic relationship of rRNA and polyadenylated RNA during the transition of the brain from a developing replicative phase to an adult differentiated and non-dividing state.

The metabolism of high-molecular-weight ribonucleic acid including polyadenylated species, in the developing rat brain.

Project description:High-molecular-weight RNA was isolated from rat brain at various times after the intracranial administration of [32P]Pi. The synthesis of 28S and 18S rRNA could be detected within 1h of the injection of the radioactive precursor and appeared to be more pronounced, relative to other high-molecular-weight RNA, in the brains of older rats compared with those of newborn rats. Polyadenylated RNA, representing most mRNA and their precursors, was isolated by chromatography on oligo(dT)-cellulose. The contribution of this polyadenylated RNA to total RNA synthesis was investigated in the cerebral cortex and the phylogenetically older brain stem at different stages in the development of the rats by using a 5h period of labelling as an arbitrary index of transcription. In the brain stem the proportion of labelled polyadenylated RNA comprised 27-30% of the total RNA. The corresponding values for the cortex decreased from 34% in newborn rats to 23% in 40-150-day-old rats. These data indicated that proportionately more polyadenylated RNA is synthesized in the cortex of the newborn than in the adult rat and that there is a progressive decrease in the synthesis of polyadenylated RNA relative to rRNA during development.

Regulation of AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR condensation and nucleo-cytoplasmic partitioning.

Project description:Auxin critically regulates plant growth and development. Auxin-driven transcriptional responses are mediated through the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) family of transcription factors. ARF protein condensation attenuates ARF activity, resulting in dramatic shifts in the auxin transcriptional landscape. Here, we perform a forward genetics screen for ARF hypercondensation, identifying an F-box protein, which we named AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR F-BOX1 (AFF1). Functional characterization of SCFAFF1 revealed that this E3 ubiquitin ligase directly interacts with ARF19 and ARF7 to regulate their accumulation, condensation, and nucleo-cytoplasmic partitioning. Mutants defective in AFF1 display attenuated auxin responsiveness, and developmental defects, suggesting that SCFAFF1 -mediated regulation of ARF protein drives aspects of auxin response and plant development.

Uncoupling of nucleo-cytoplasmic RNA export and localization during stress.

Project description:Eukaryotic cells contain sub-cellular compartments that are not membrane bound. Some structures are always present, such as nuclear speckles that contain RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and poly(A)+ RNAs. Others, like cytoplasmic stress granules (SGs) that harbor mRNAs and RBPs, are induced upon stress. When we examined the formation and composition of nuclear speckles during stress induction with tubercidin, an adenosine analogue previously shown to affect nuclear speckle composition, we unexpectedly found that it also led to the formation of SGs and to the inhibition of several crucial steps of RNA metabolism in cells, thereby serving as a potent inhibitor of the gene expression pathway. Although transcription and splicing persisted under this stress, RBPs and mRNAs were mislocalized in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Specifically, lncRNA and RBP localization to nuclear speckles was disrupted, exon junction complex (EJC) recruitment to mRNA was reduced, mRNA export was obstructed, and cytoplasmic poly(A)+ RNAs localized in SGs. Furthermore, nuclear proteins that participate in mRNA export, such as nucleoporins and mRNA export adaptors, were mislocalized to SGs. This study reveals structural aspects of granule assembly in cells, and describes how the flow of RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm is severed under stress.

Origin and evolution of eukaryotic large nucleo-cytoplasmic DNA viruses.

Project description:Background/aimsThe nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV) constitute an apparently monophyletic group that consists of 6 families of viruses infecting a broad variety of eukaryotes. A comprehensive genome comparison and maximum-likelihood reconstruction of NCLDV evolution reveal a set of approximately 50 conserved genes that can be tentatively mapped to the genome of the common ancestor of this class of eukaryotic viruses. We address the origins and evolution of NCLDV.ResultsPhylogenetic analysis indicates that some of the major clades of NCLDV infect diverse animals and protists, suggestive of early radiation of the NCLDV, possibly concomitant with eukaryogenesis. The core NCLDV genes seem to have originated from different sources including homologous genes of bacteriophages, bacteria and eukaryotes. These observations are compatible with a scenario of the origin of the NCLDV at an early stage of the evolution of eukaryotes through extensive mixing of genes from widely different genomes.ConclusionsThe common ancestor of the NCLDV probably evolved from a bacteriophage as a result of recruitment of numerous eukaryotic and some bacterial genes, and concomitant loss of the majority of phage genes except for a small core of genes coding for proteins essential for virus genome replication and virion formation.

Exploring nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses in Tara Oceans microbial metagenomes.

Project description:Nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) constitute a group of eukaryotic viruses that can have crucial ecological roles in the sea by accelerating the turnover of their unicellular hosts or by causing diseases in animals. To better characterize the diversity, abundance and biogeography of marine NCLDVs, we analyzed 17 metagenomes derived from microbial samples (0.2-1.6??m size range) collected during the Tara Oceans Expedition. The sample set includes ecosystems under-represented in previous studies, such as the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) and Indian Ocean lagoons. By combining computationally derived relative abundance and direct prokaryote cell counts, the abundance of NCLDVs was found to be in the order of 10(4)-10(5) genomes?ml(-1) for the samples from the photic zone and 10(2)-10(3) genomes?ml(-1) for the OMZ. The Megaviridae and Phycodnaviridae dominated the NCLDV populations in the metagenomes, although most of the reads classified in these families showed large divergence from known viral genomes. Our taxon co-occurrence analysis revealed a potential association between viruses of the Megaviridae family and eukaryotes related to oomycetes. In support of this predicted association, we identified six cases of lateral gene transfer between Megaviridae and oomycetes. Our results suggest that marine NCLDVs probably outnumber eukaryotic organisms in the photic layer (per given water mass) and that metagenomic sequence analyses promise to shed new light on the biodiversity of marine viruses and their interactions with potential hosts.

Calpain-dependent disruption of nucleo-cytoplasmic transport in ALS motor neurons.

Project description:Nuclear dysfunction in motor neurons has been hypothesized to be a principal cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathogenesis. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is disrupted in dying motor neurons in a mechanistic ALS mouse model (adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 2 (ADAR2) conditional knockout (AR2) mice) and in ALS patients. We showed that nucleoporins (Nups) that constituted the NPC were cleaved by activated calpain via a Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptor-mediated mechanism in dying motor neurons lacking ADAR2 expression in AR2 mice. In these neurons, nucleo-cytoplasmic transport was disrupted, and the level of the transcript elongation enzyme RNA polymerase II phosphorylated at Ser2 was significantly decreased. Analogous changes were observed in motor neurons lacking ADAR2 immunoreactivity in sporadic ALS patients. Therefore, calpain-dependent NPC disruption may participate in ALS pathogenesis, and inhibiting Ca2+-mediated cell death signals may be a therapeutic strategy for ALS.

Two distinct SSB protein families in nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses.

Project description:MotivationEukaryote-infecting nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) feature some of the largest genomes in the viral world. These viruses typically do not strongly depend on the host DNA replication systems. In line with this observation, a number of essential DNA replication proteins, such as DNA polymerases, primases, helicases and ligases, have been identified in the NCLDVs. One other ubiquitous component of DNA replisomes is the single-stranded DNA-binding (SSB) protein. Intriguingly, no NCLDV homologs of canonical OB-fold-containing SSB proteins had previously been detected. Only in poxviruses, one of seven NCLDV families, I3 was identified as the SSB protein. However, whether I3 is related to any known protein structure has not yet been established.ResultsHere, we addressed the case of 'missing' canonical SSB proteins in the NCLDVs and also probed evolutionary origins of the I3 family. Using advanced computational methods, in four NCLDV families, we detected homologs of the bacteriophage T7 SSB protein (gp2.5). We found the properties of these homologs to be consistent with the SSB function. Moreover, we implicated specific residues in single-stranded DNA binding. At the same time, we found no evolutionary link between the T7 gp2.5-like NCLDV SSB homologs and the poxviral SSB protein (I3). Instead, we identified a distant relationship between I3 and small protein B (SmpB), a bacterial RNA-binding protein. Thus, apparently, the NCLDVs have the two major distinct sets of SSB proteins having bacteriophage and bacterial origins, respectively.

Hidden evolutionary complexity of Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA viruses of eukaryotes.

Project description:BackgroundThe Nucleo-Cytoplasmic Large DNA Viruses (NCLDV) constitute an apparently monophyletic group that consists of at least 6 families of viruses infecting a broad variety of eukaryotic hosts. A comprehensive genome comparison and maximum-likelihood reconstruction of the NCLDV evolution revealed a set of approximately 50 conserved, core genes that could be mapped to the genome of the common ancestor of this class of eukaryotic viruses.ResultsWe performed a detailed phylogenetic analysis of these core NCLDV genes and applied the constrained tree approach to show that the majority of the core genes are unlikely to be monophyletic. Several of the core genes have been independently acquired from different sources by different NCLDV lineages whereas for the majority of these genes displacement by homologs from cellular organisms in one or more groups of the NCLDV was demonstrated.ConclusionsA detailed study of the evolution of the genomic core of the NCLDV reveals substantial complexity and diversity of evolutionary scenarios that was largely unsuspected previously. The phylogenetic coherence between the core genes is sufficient to validate the hypothesis on the evolution of all NCLDV from a common ancestral virus although the set of ancestral genes might be smaller than previously inferred from patterns of gene presence-absence.

Chromosome conformation elucidates regulatory relationships in developing human brain.

Project description:Three-dimensional physical interactions within chromosomes dynamically regulate gene expression in a tissue-specific manner. However, the 3D organization of chromosomes during human brain development and its role in regulating gene networks dysregulated in neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism or schizophrenia, are unknown. Here we generate high-resolution 3D maps of chromatin contacts during human corticogenesis, permitting large-scale annotation of previously uncharacterized regulatory relationships relevant to the evolution of human cognition and disease. Our analyses identify hundreds of genes that physically interact with enhancers gained on the human lineage, many of which are under purifying selection and associated with human cognitive function. We integrate chromatin contacts with non-coding variants identified in schizophrenia genome-wide association studies (GWAS), highlighting multiple candidate schizophrenia risk genes and pathways, including transcription factors involved in neurogenesis, and cholinergic signalling molecules, several of which are supported by independent expression quantitative trait loci and gene expression analyses. Genome editing in human neural progenitors suggests that one of these distal schizophrenia GWAS loci regulates FOXG1 expression, supporting its potential role as a schizophrenia risk gene. This work provides a framework for understanding the effect of non-coding regulatory elements on human brain development and the evolution of cognition, and highlights novel mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric disorders.
