Polycistronic trypanosome mRNAs are a target for the exosome.

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic cells have several mRNA quality control checkpoints to avoid the production of aberrant proteins. Intron-containing mRNAs are actively degraded by the nuclear exosome, prevented from nuclear exit and, if these systems fail, degraded by the cytoplasmic NMD machinery. Trypanosomes have only two introns. However, they process mRNAs from long polycistronic precursors by trans-splicing and polycistronic mRNA molecules frequently arise from any missed splice site. Here, we show that RNAi depletion of the trypanosome exosome, but not of the cytoplasmic 5'-3' exoribonuclease XRNA or the NMD helicase UPF1, causes accumulation of oligocistronic mRNAs. We have also revisited the localization of the trypanosome exosome by expressing eYFP-fusion proteins of the exosome subunits RRP44 and RRP6. Both proteins are significantly enriched in the nucleus. Together with published data, our data suggest a major nuclear function of the trypanosome exosome in rRNA, snoRNA and mRNA quality control.

Intrinsic and regulated properties of minimally edited trypanosome mRNAs.

Project description:Most mitochondrial mRNAs in kinetoplastids require extensive uridine insertion/deletion editing to generate translatable open reading frames. Editing is specified by trans-acting gRNAs and involves a complex machinery including basal and accessory factors. Here, we utilize high-throughput sequencing to analyze editing progression in two minimally edited mRNAs that provide a simplified system due their requiring only two gRNAs each for complete editing. We show that CYb and MURF2 mRNAs exhibit barriers to editing progression that differ from those previously identified for pan-edited mRNAs, primarily at initial gRNA usage and gRNA exchange. We demonstrate that mis-edited junctions arise through multiple pathways including mis-alignment of cognate gRNA, incorrect and sometimes promiscuous gRNA utilization and inefficient gRNA anchoring. We then examined the roles of accessory factors RBP16 and MRP1/2 in maintaining edited CYb and MURF2 populations. RBP16 is essential for initiation of CYb and MURF2 editing, as well as MURF2 editing progression. In contrast, MRP1/2 stabilizes both edited mRNA populations, while further promoting progression of MURF2 mRNA editing. We also analyzed the effects of RNA Editing Substrate Binding Complex components, TbRGG2 and GAP1, and show that both proteins modestly impact progression of editing on minimally edited mRNAs, suggesting a novel function for GAP1.

A specific endoribonuclease, RNase P, affects gene expression of polycistronic operon mRNAs.

Project description:The rnpA mutation, A49, in Escherichia coli reduces the level of RNase P at 43 degrees C because of a temperature-sensitive mutation in C5 protein, the protein subunit of the enzyme. Microarray analysis reveals the expression of several noncoding intergenic regions that are increased at 43 degrees C compared with 30 degrees C. These regions are substrates for RNase P, and they are cleaved less efficiently than, for example, tRNA precursors. An analysis of the tna, secG, rbs, and his operons, all of which contain RNase P cleavage sites, indicates that RNase P affects gene expression for regions downstream of its cleavage sites.

Maturation of polycistronic mRNAs by the endoribonuclease RNase Y and its associated Y-complex in Bacillus subtilis.

Project description:Endonucleolytic cleavage within polycistronic mRNAs can lead to differential stability, and thus discordant abundance, among cotranscribed genes. RNase Y, the major endonuclease for mRNA decay in Bacillus subtilis, was originally identified for its cleavage activity toward the cggR-gapA operon, an event that differentiates the synthesis of a glycolytic enzyme from its transcriptional regulator. A three-protein Y-complex (YlbF, YmcA, and YaaT) was recently identified as also being required for this cleavage in vivo, raising the possibility that it is an accessory factor acting to regulate RNase Y. However, whether the Y-complex is broadly required for RNase Y activity is unknown. Here, we used end-enrichment RNA sequencing (Rend-seq) to globally identify operon mRNAs that undergo maturation posttranscriptionally by RNase Y and the Y-complex. We found that the Y-complex is required for the majority of RNase Y-mediated mRNA maturation events and also affects riboswitch abundance in B. subtilis In contrast, noncoding RNA maturation by RNase Y often does not require the Y-complex. Furthermore, deletion of RNase Y has more pleiotropic effects on the transcriptome and cell growth than deletions of the Y-complex. We propose that the Y-complex is a specificity factor for RNase Y, with evidence that its role is conserved in Staphylococcus aureus.

Different nuclease requirements for exosome-mediated degradation of normal and nonstop mRNAs.

Project description:Two general pathways of mRNA decay have been characterized in yeast. In one pathway, the mRNA is degraded by the cytoplasmic form of the exosome. The exosome has both 3' to 5' exoribonuclease and endoribonuclease activity, and the available evidence suggests that the exonuclease activity is required for the degradation of mRNAs. We confirm here that this is true for normal mRNAs, but that aberrant mRNAs that lack a stop codon can be efficiently degraded in the absence of the exonuclease activity of the exosome. Specifically, we show that the endo- and exonuclease activities of the exosome are both capable of rapidly degrading nonstop mRNAs and ribozyme-cleaved mRNAs. Additionally, the endonuclease activity of the exosome is not required for endonucleolytic cleavage in no-go decay. In vitro, the endonuclease domain of the exosome is active only under nonphysiological conditions, but our findings show that the in vivo activity is sufficient for the rapid degradation of nonstop mRNAs. Thus, whereas normal mRNAs are degraded by two exonucleases (Xrn1p and Rrp44p), several endonucleases contribute to the decay of many aberrant mRNAs, including transcripts subject to nonstop and no-go decay. Our findings suggest that the nuclease requirements for general and nonstop mRNA decay are different, and describe a molecular function of the core exosome that is not disrupted by inactivating its exonuclease activity.

Plant polycistronic precursors containing non-homologous microRNAs target transcripts encoding functionally related proteins.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous single-stranded small RNAs that regulate the expression of specific mRNAs involved in diverse biological processes. In plants, miRNAs are generally encoded as a single species in independent transcriptional units, referred to as MIRNA genes, in contrast to animal miRNAs, which are frequently clustered.ResultsWe performed a comparative genomic analysis in three model plants (rice, poplar and Arabidopsis) and characterized miRNA clusters containing two to eight miRNA species. These clusters usually encode miRNAs of the same family and certain share a common evolutionary origin across monocot and dicot lineages. In addition, we identified miRNA clusters harboring miRNAs with unrelated sequences that are usually not evolutionarily conserved. Strikingly, non-homologous miRNAs from the same cluster were predicted to target transcripts encoding related proteins. At least four Arabidopsis non-homologous clusters were expressed as single transcriptional units. Overexpression of one of these polycistronic precursors, producing Ath-miR859 and Ath-miR774, led to the DCL1-dependent accumulation of both miRNAs and down-regulation of their different mRNA targets encoding F-box proteins.ConclusionsIn addition to polycistronic precursors carrying related miRNAs, plants also contain precursors allowing coordinated expression of non-homologous miRNAs to co-regulate functionally related target transcripts. This mechanism paves the way for using polycistronic MIRNA precursors as a new molecular tool for plant biologists to simultaneously control the expression of different genes.

Target-Specific Exosome Isolation through Aptamer-Based Microfluidics.

Project description:Exosomes (30-100 nm in diameter) are a group of cell-derived membrane vesicles, packaged as valuable cargo with lipid, proteins, and genetic materials from their parent cells. With the increasing interest in exosomes for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, the rapid isolation of pure exosome populations has become a hot topic. In this paper, we propose modified microchannels with aptamer in a microfluidics system for rapid and efficient isolation of exosomes by targeting exosome-carrying CD63 and PTK 7. The capture efficiency in surface-modified channels reaches around 107-108 particles/mL in 20 min, and purified exosomes with reliable size can be achieved.
