RNA degradation triggered by decapping is largely independent of initial deadenylation

ABSTRACT: RNA stability, important for eukaryotic gene expression, is thought to depend on deadenylation rates, with shortened poly(A) tails triggering decapping and 5' to 3' degradation. In contrast to this view, recent large-scale studies indicate that the most unstable mRNAs have, on average, long poly(A) tails. To clarify the role of deadenylation in mRNA decay, we first modelled mRNA poly(A) tail kinetics and mRNA stability in yeast. Independent of deadenylation rates, differences in mRNA decapping rates alone were sufficient to explain current large-scale results. To test the hypothesis that deadenylation and decapping are uncoupled, we used rapid depletion of decapping and deadenylation enzymes and measured changes in mRNA levels, poly(A) length and stability, both transcriptome-wide and with individual reporters. These experiments revealed that perturbations in poly(A) tail length did not correlate with variations in mRNA stability. Thus, while deadenylation may be critical for specific regulatory mechanisms, our results suggest that for most yeast mRNAs, it is not critical for mRNA decapping and degradation.

The yeast EDC1 mRNA undergoes deadenylation-independent decapping stimulated by Not2p, Not4p, and Not5p.

Project description:A major mechanism of eukaryotic mRNA degradation initiates with deadenylation followed by decapping and 5' to 3' degradation. We demonstrate that the yeast EDC1 mRNA, which encodes a protein that enhances decapping, has unique properties and is both protected from deadenylation and undergoes deadenylation-independent decapping. The 3' UTR of the EDC1 mRNA is sufficient for both protection from deadenylation and deadenylation-independent decapping and an extended poly(U) tract within the 3' UTR is required. These observations highlight the diverse forms of decapping regulation and identify a feedback loop that can compensate for decreases in activity of the decapping enzyme. Surprisingly, the decapping of the EDC1 mRNA is slowed by the loss of Not2p, Not4p, and Not5p, which interact with the Ccr4p/Pop2p deadenylase complex. This indicates that the Not proteins can affect decapping, which suggests a possible link between the mRNA deadenylation and decapping machinery.

Deadenylation-independent stage-specific mRNA degradation in Leishmania.

Project description:The life cycle of Leishmania alternates between developmental forms residing within the insect vector (e.g. promastigotes) and the mammalian host (amastigotes). In Leishmania nearly all control of gene expression is post-transcriptional and involves sequences in the 3'-untranslated regions (3'UTRs) of mRNAs. Very little is known as to how these cis-elements regulate RNA turnover and translation rates in trypanosomatids and nothing is known about mRNA degradation mechanisms in Leishmania in particular. Here, we use the amastin mRNA-an amastigote-specific transcript-as a model and show that a approximately 100 nt U-rich element (URE) within its 3'UTR significantly accounts for developmental regulation. RNase-H-RNA blot analysis revealed that a major part of the rapid promastigote-specific degradation of the amastin mRNA is not initiated by deadenylation. This is in contrast to the amastin mRNA in amastigotes and to reporter RNAs lacking the URE, which, in common with most eukaryotic mRNAs studied to-date, are deadenylated before being degraded. Moreover, our analysis did not reveal a role for decapping in the stage-specific degradation of the amastin mRNA. Overall, these results suggest that degradation of the amastin mRNA of Leishmania is likely to be bi-phasic, the first phase being stage-specific and dependent on an unusual URE-mediated pathway of mRNA degradation.

Host deadenylation-dependent mRNA decapping factors are required for a key step in brome mosaic virus RNA replication.

Project description:The genomes of positive-strand RNA [+RNA] viruses perform two mutually exclusive functions: they act as mRNAs for the translation of viral proteins and as templates for viral replication. A universal key step in the replication of +RNA viruses is the coordinated transition of the RNA genome from the cellular translation machinery to the viral replication complex. While host factors are involved in this step, their nature is largely unknown. By using the ability of the higher eukaryotic +RNA virus brome mosaic virus (BMV) to replicate in yeast, we previously showed that the host Lsm1p protein is required for efficient recruitment of BMV RNA from translation to replication. Here we show that in addition to Lsm1p, all tested components of the Lsm1p-7p/Pat1p/Dhh1p decapping activator complex, which functions in deadenylation-dependent decapping of cellular mRNAs, are required for BMV RNA recruitment for RNA replication. In contrast, other proteins of the decapping machinery, such as Edc1p and Edc2p from the deadenylation-dependent decapping pathway and Upf1p, Upf2p, and Upf3p from the deadenylation-independent decapping pathway, had no significant effects. The dependence of BMV RNA recruitment on the Lsm1p-7p/Pat1p/Dhh1p complex was linked exclusively to the 3' noncoding region of the BMV RNA. Collectively, our results suggest that the Lsm1p-7p/Pat1p/Dhh1p complex that transfers cellular mRNAs from translation to degradation might act as a key regulator in the switch from BMV RNA translation to replication.

A low-complexity region in human XRN1 directly recruits deadenylation and decapping factors in 5'-3' messenger RNA decay.

Project description:XRN1 is the major cytoplasmic exoribonuclease in eukaryotes, which degrades deadenylated and decapped mRNAs in the last step of the 5'-3' mRNA decay pathway. Metazoan XRN1 interacts with decapping factors coupling the final stages of decay. Here, we reveal a direct interaction between XRN1 and the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex mediated by a low-complexity region in XRN1, which we term the 'C-terminal interacting region' or CIR. The CIR represses reporter mRNA deadenylation in human cells when overexpressed and inhibits CCR4-NOT and isolated CAF1 deadenylase activity in vitro. Through complementation studies in an XRN1-null cell line, we dissect the specific contributions of XRN1 domains and regions toward decay of an mRNA reporter. We observe that XRN1 binding to the decapping activator EDC4 counteracts the dominant negative effect of CIR overexpression on decay. Another decapping activator PatL1 directly interacts with CIR and alleviates the CIR-mediated inhibition of CCR4-NOT activity in vitro. Ribosome profiling revealed that XRN1 loss impacts not only on mRNA levels but also on the translational efficiency of many cellular transcripts likely as a consequence of incomplete decay. Our findings reveal an additional layer of direct interactions in a tightly integrated network of factors mediating deadenylation, decapping and 5'-3' exonucleolytic decay.

Nanopore RNA sequencing in S. cerevisiae strains defective for decapping and deadenylation

Project description:RNA turnover in eukaryotes is triggered by decapping, believed to be activated mostly after deadenylation. To investigate simultaneous changes in RNA levels and poly(A) tail size we performed Nanopore RNA sequencing on total RNA extracted from S. cerevisiae strains in which the decapping enzyme Dcp2, or the deadenylation factors Ccr4 and Pop2 were depleted through an inducible degron system. Two fully independent replicate experiments were performed for wild type and the two mutant conditions.

Human Pat1b connects deadenylation with mRNA decapping and controls the assembly of processing bodies.

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, degradation of many mRNAs is initiated by removal of the poly(A) tail followed by decapping and 5'-3' exonucleolytic decay. Although the order of these events is well established, we are still lacking a mechanistic understanding of how deadenylation and decapping are linked. In this report we identify human Pat1b as a protein that is tightly associated with the Ccr4-Caf1-Not deadenylation complex as well as with the Dcp1-Dcp2 decapping complex. In addition, the RNA helicase Rck and Lsm1 proteins interact with human Pat1b. These interactions are mediated via at least three independent domains within Pat1b, suggesting that Pat1b serves as a scaffold protein. By tethering Pat1b to a reporter mRNA, we further provide evidence that Pat1b is also functionally linked to both deadenylation and decapping. Finally, we report that Pat1b strongly induces the formation of processing (P) bodies, cytoplasmic foci that contain most enzymes of the RNA decay machinery. An amino-terminal region within Pat1b serves as an aggregation-prone domain that nucleates P bodies, whereas an acidic domain controls the size of P bodies. Taken together, these findings provide evidence that human Pat1b is a central component of the RNA decay machinery by physically connecting deadenylation with decapping.

Unique repression domains of Pumilio utilize deadenylation and decapping factors to accelerate destruction of target mRNAs.

Project description:Pumilio is an RNA-binding protein that represses a network of mRNAs to control embryogenesis, stem cell fate, fertility and neurological functions in Drosophila. We sought to identify the mechanism of Pumilio-mediated repression and find that it accelerates degradation of target mRNAs, mediated by three N-terminal Repression Domains (RDs), which are unique to Pumilio orthologs. We show that the repressive activities of the Pumilio RDs depend on specific subunits of the Ccr4-Not (CNOT) deadenylase complex. Depletion of Pop2, Not1, Not2, or Not3 subunits alleviates Pumilio RD-mediated repression of protein expression and mRNA decay, whereas depletion of other CNOT components had little or no effect. Moreover, the catalytic activity of Pop2 deadenylase is important for Pumilio RD activity. Further, we show that the Pumilio RDs directly bind to the CNOT complex. We also report that the decapping enzyme, Dcp2, participates in repression by the N-terminus of Pumilio. These results support a model wherein Pumilio utilizes CNOT deadenylase and decapping complexes to accelerate destruction of target mRNAs. Because the N-terminal RDs are conserved in mammalian Pumilio orthologs, the results of this work broadly enhance our understanding of Pumilio function and roles in diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration and epilepsy.

Competition between Decapping Complex Formation and Ubiquitin-Mediated Proteasomal Degradation Controls Human Dcp2 Decapping Activity.

Project description:mRNA decapping is a central step in eukaryotic mRNA decay that simultaneously shuts down translation initiation and activates mRNA degradation. A major complex responsible for decapping consists of the decapping enzyme Dcp2 in association with decapping enhancers. An important question is how the activity and accumulation of Dcp2 are regulated at the cellular level to ensure the specificity and fidelity of the Dcp2 decapping complex. Here, we show that human Dcp2 levels and activity are controlled by a competition between decapping complex assembly and Dcp2 degradation. This is mediated by a regulatory domain in the Dcp2 C terminus, which, on the one hand, promotes Dcp2 activation via decapping complex formation mediated by the decapping enhancer Hedls and, on the other hand, targets Dcp2 for ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation in the absence of Hedls association. This competition between Dcp2 activation and degradation restricts the accumulation and activity of uncomplexed Dcp2, which may be important for preventing uncontrolled decapping or for regulating Dcp2 levels and activity according to cellular needs.

Rapid nuclear deadenylation of mammalian messenger RNA.

Project description:Poly(A) tails protect RNAs from degradation and their deadenylation rates determine RNA stability. Although poly(A) tails are generated in the nucleus, deadenylation of tails has mostly been investigated within the cytoplasm. Here, we combined long-read sequencing with metabolic labeling, splicing inhibition and cell fractionation experiments to quantify, separately, the genesis and trimming of nuclear and cytoplasmic tails in vitro and in vivo. We present evidence for genome-wide, nuclear synthesis of tails longer than 200 nt, which are rapidly shortened after transcription. Our data suggests that rapid deadenylation is a nuclear process, and that different classes of transcripts and even transcript isoforms have distinct nuclear tail lengths. For example, many long-noncoding RNAs retain long poly(A) tails. Modeling deadenylation dynamics predicts nuclear deadenylation about 10 times faster than cytoplasmic deadenylation. In summary, our data suggests that nuclear deadenylation might be a key mechanism for regulating mRNA stability, abundance, and subcellular localization.

The NBDY Microprotein Regulates Cellular RNA Decapping.

Project description:Proteogenomic identification of translated small open reading frames in humans has revealed thousands of microproteins, or polypeptides of fewer than 100 amino acids, that were previously invisible to geneticists. Hundreds of microproteins have been shown to be essential for cell growth and proliferation, and many regulate macromolecular complexes. One such regulatory microprotein is NBDY, a 68-amino acid component of the human cytoplasmic RNA decapping complex. Heterologously expressed NBDY was previously reported to regulate cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granules known as P-bodies and reporter gene stability, but the global effect of endogenous NBDY on the cellular transcriptome remained undefined. In this work, we demonstrate that endogenous NBDY directly interacts with the human RNA decapping complex through EDC4 and DCP1A and localizes to P-bodies. Global profiling of RNA stability changes in NBDY knockout (KO) cells reveals dysregulated stability of more than 1400 transcripts. DCP2 substrate transcript half-lives are both increased and decreased in NBDY KO cells, which correlates with 5' UTR length. NBDY deletion additionally alters the stability of non-DCP2 target transcripts, possibly as a result of downregulated expression of nonsense-mediated decay factors in NBDY KO cells. We present a comprehensive model of the regulation of RNA stability by NBDY.
