Interrogation of RNA-protein interaction dynamics in bacterial growth

ABSTRACT: Characterising RNA-protein interaction dynamics is fundamental to understand how bacteria respond to their environment. In this study, we have analysed the dynamics of 91% of the Escherichia coli expressed proteome and the RNA-interaction properties of 271 RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) at different growth phases. We find that 68% of RBPs differentially bind RNA across growth phases and characterise 17 previously unannotated proteins as bacterial RBPs including YfiF, a ncRNA-binding protein. While these new RBPs are mostly present in Proteobacteria, two of them have human orthologs in the form of mitochondrial proteins associated with rare metabolic disorders. Moreover, we reveal novel RBP functions for proteins such as the chaperone HtpG, a new stationary phase tRNA-binding protein. Altogether, we provide the first dynamic RBPome of a bacterium, showcasing how this approach can reveal the function of uncharacterised proteins, and identify critical RNA-protein interactions for cell growth which could inform new antimicrobial therapies.

Interrogation of RNA-protein interaction dynamics in bacterial growth

Project description:RNA-protein interactions are fundamental for bacterial homeostasis. However, we lack a system-wide understanding of their dynamics upon environmental perturbation. In this study, we have characterised the dynamics of 91% of the Escherichia coli proteome and the RNA-interaction properties of 271 RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) at different growth phases. We find that 68% of RBPs differentially bind RNA across growth phases and reveal novel RBP functions for proteins like the chaperone HtpG, a new tRNA-binding protein.

Association of OLE RNA with bacterial membranes via an RNA-protein interaction.

Project description:Ornate, large, extremophilic (OLE) RNAs are large, non-coding transcripts characterized by their ornate secondary structure and presence predominantly in Gram-positive, extremophilic bacteria. A gene for an OLE-associated protein (OAP) is almost always located immediately downstream of the OLE gene. OAP has no extensive homology to other proteins and is predicted to form multiple transmembrane domains. We show that this protein forms a ribonucleoprotein complex with OLE RNA using at least 2:1 protein : RNA stoichiometry. A series of truncated OLE RNA constructs was used to establish that most of the RNA can be deleted without eliminating protein binding. Two primary binding sites are present within the RNA, although additional binding determinants exist and extensive structural stabilization is induced by OAP. RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used in Escherichia coli to demonstrate that ribonucleoprotein complex formation localizes the RNA near cell membranes of this heterologous system. Therefore, the majority of the complex structure formed by OLE RNA may perform a biochemical function that requires membrane localization.

Signal-noise metrics for RNA binding protein identification reveal broad spectrum protein-RNA interaction frequencies and dynamics.

Project description:Recent efforts towards the comprehensive identification of RNA-bound proteomes have revealed a large, surprisingly diverse family of candidate RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Quantitative metrics for characterization and validation of protein-RNA interactions and their dynamic interactions have, however, proven analytically challenging and prone to error. Here we report a method termed LEAP-RBP (Liquid-Emulsion-Assisted-Purification of RNA-Bound Protein) for the selective, quantitative recovery of UV-crosslinked RNA-protein complexes. By virtue of its high specificity and yield, LEAP-RBP distinguishes RNA-bound and RNA-free protein levels and reveals common sources of experimental noise in RNA-centric RBP enrichment methods. We introduce strategies for accurate RBP identification and signal-based metrics for quantifying protein-RNA complex enrichment, relative RNA occupancy, and method specificity. In this work, the utility of our approach is validated by comprehensive identification of RBPs whose association with mRNA is modulated in response to global mRNA translation state changes and through in-depth benchmark comparisons with current methodologies.

Discovery and functional interrogation of SARS-CoV-2 RNA-host protein interactions.

Project description:SARS-CoV-2 is the cause of a pandemic with growing global mortality. Using comprehensive identification of RNA-binding proteins by mass spectrometry (ChIRP-MS), we identified 309 host proteins that bind the SARS-CoV-2 RNA during active infection. Integration of this data with ChIRP-MS data from three other RNA viruses defined viral specificity of RNA-host protein interactions. Targeted CRISPR screens revealed that the majority of functional RNA-binding proteins protect the host from virus-induced cell death, and comparative CRISPR screens across seven RNA viruses revealed shared and SARS-specific antiviral factors. Finally, by combining the RNA-centric approach and functional CRISPR screens, we demonstrated a physical and functional connection between SARS-CoV-2 and mitochondria, highlighting this organelle as a general platform for antiviral activity. Altogether, these data provide a comprehensive catalog of functional SARS-CoV-2 RNA-host protein interactions, which may inform studies to understand the host-virus interface and nominate host pathways that could be targeted for therapeutic benefit.

Bacterial ribonuclease P holoenzyme crosslinking analysis reveals protein interaction sites on the RNA subunit.

Project description:The structure of the Escherichia coli ribonuclease P (RNase P) holoenzyme was investigated by site-directed attachment of an aryl azide crosslink reagent to specific sites in the protein subunit of the enzyme. The sites of crosslinking to the RNase P RNA subunit were mapped by primer extension to several conserved residues and structural features throughout the RNA. The results suggest rearrangement of current tertiary models of the RNA subunit, particularly in regions poorly constrained by earlier data. Crosslinks to the substrate precursor-tRNA were also detected, consistent with previous crosslinking results in the Bacillus subtilis RNase P holoenzyme.

RNA protein interaction in neurons.

Project description:Neurons have their own systems for regulating RNA. Several multigene families encode RNA binding proteins (RNABPs) that are uniquely expressed in neurons, including the well-known neuron-specific markers ELAV and NeuN and the disease antigen NOVA. New technologies have emerged in recent years to assess the function of these proteins in vivo, and the answers are yielding insights into how and why neurons may regulate RNA in special ways-to increase cellular complexity, to localize messenger RNA (mRNA) spatially, and to regulate their expression in response to synaptic stimuli. The functions of such restricted neuronal proteins are likely to be complemented by more widely expressed RNABPs that may themselves have developed specialized functions in neurons, including Argonaute/microRNAs (miRNAs). Here we review what is known about such RNABPs and explore the potential biologic and neurologic significance of neuronal RNA regulatory systems.

Individuality and slow dynamics in bacterial growth homeostasis.

Project description:Microbial growth and division are fundamental processes relevant to many areas of life science. Of particular interest are homeostasis mechanisms, which buffer growth and division from accumulating fluctuations over multiple cycles. These mechanisms operate within single cells, possibly extending over several division cycles. However, all experimental studies to date have relied on measurements pooled from many distinct cells. Here, we disentangle long-term measured traces of individual cells from one another, revealing subtle differences between temporal and pooled statistics. By analyzing correlations along up to hundreds of generations, we find that the parameter describing effective cell size homeostasis strength varies significantly among cells. At the same time, we find an invariant cell size, which acts as an attractor to all individual traces, albeit with different effective attractive forces. Despite the common attractor, each cell maintains a distinct average size over its finite lifetime with suppressed temporal fluctuations around it, and equilibration to the global average size is surprisingly slow ([Formula: see text] cell cycles). To show a possible source of variable homeostasis strength, we construct a mathematical model relying on intracellular interactions, which integrates measured properties of cell size with those of highly expressed proteins. Effective homeostasis strength is then influenced by interactions and by noise levels and generally varies among cells. A predictable and measurable consequence of variable homeostasis strength appears as distinct oscillatory patterns in cell size and protein content over many generations. We discuss implications of our results to understanding mechanisms controlling division in single cells and their characteristic timescales.

Optical multi-channel interrogation instrument for bacterial colony characterization.

Project description:A single instrument that includes multiple optical channels was developed to simultaneously measure various optical and associated biophysical characteristics of a bacterial colony. The multi-channel device can provide five distinct optical features without the need to transfer the sample to multiple locations or instruments. The available measurement channels are bright-field light microscopy, 3-D colony-morphology map, 2-D spatial optical-density distribution, spectral forward-scattering pattern, and spectral optical density. The series of multiple morphological interrogations is beneficial in understanding the bio-optical features of a bacterial colony and the correlations among them, resulting in an enhanced power of phenotypic bacterial discrimination. To enable a one-shot interrogation, a confocal laser scanning module was built as an add-on to an upright microscope. Three different-wavelength diode lasers were used for the spectral analysis, and high-speed pin photodiodes and CMOS sensors were utilized as detectors to measure the spectral OD and light-scatter pattern. The proposed instrument and algorithms were evaluated with four bacterial genera, Escherichia coli, Listeria innocua, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus; their resulting data provided a more complete picture of the optical characterization of bacterial colonies.
