Project description:We used 2', 3'-cyclic phosphate cDNA synthesis and Illumina sequencing to identify and quantify metal-ion-independent endoribonuclease cleavage sites in host and viral RNAs. To make cDNA libraries, we exploited the 2’, 3’-cyclic phosphate at the end of RNA fragments produced by RNase L and other metal-ion-independent endoribonucleases. Using Arabidopsis thaliana tRNA ligase, RNA fragments with 2’, 3’-cyclic phosphates were covalently attached to defined RNA linkers containing an 8-base long unique molecular identifier (UMI) sequence. Libraries prepared in this manner contain cDNA derived exclusively from RNA fragments with 2', 3'-cyclic phosphates. The UMI sequence allows for detailed quantitation. We optimized and validated 2’, 3’-cyclic phosphate cDNA synthesis and Illumina sequencing methods using viral RNAs cleaved with purified RNase L, viral RNAs cleaved with purified RNase A, and RNA from uninfected and poliovirus-infected HeLa cells.

Project description:RNA ligation can regulate RNA function by altering RNA sequence, structure and coding potential. For example, the function of XBP1 in mediating the unfolded protein response requires RNA ligation, as does the maturation of some tRNAs. Here, we describe a novel in vivo model in C. elegans for the conserved RNA ligase RtcB, and show that RtcB ligates the xbp 1 mRNA during the IRE 1 branch of the unfolded protein response. Without RtcB, protein stress results in the accumulation of unligated xbp-1 mRNA fragments, defects in the unfolded protein response, and decreased lifespan. RtcB also ligates endogenous pre tRNA halves, and RtcB mutants have defects in growth and lifespan that can be bypassed by expression of pre-spliced tRNAs. In addition, animals that lack RtcB have defects that are independent of tRNA maturation and the unfolded protein response. Thus, RNA ligation by RtcB is required for the function of multiple endogenous target RNAs including both xbp-1 and tRNAs. RtcB is uniquely capable of performing these ligation functions, and RNA ligation by RtcB mediates multiple essential processes in vivo. 4 paired-end RNA-seq reads. Control worms have pre-spliced tRNAs, RtcB-null have mutated RtcB, +/- tunicamycin treatment

Project description:Apart from their primordial role in protein synthesis, tRNAs can be cleaved to produce tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs). The biological functions of tsRNAs in plants remain largely unknown. In this study, we developed RtcB-based RNA sequencing, a method that captures and distinguishes between 2’,3’-cyclic-phosphate (cP)-terminated RNAs and 3’-OH-terminated RNAs, and profiled 5’ tsRNAs and 5’ tRNA halves in Arabidopsis thaliana. We found that Arabidopsis 5’ tsRNAs and 5’ tRNA halves predominantly contain a cP at the 3’ end and require S-like RNase 1 (RNS1) and RNS3 for their production. One of the most abundant 5’ tsRNA, 5’ tsR-Ala, likely by associating with AGO1, negatively regulates Cytochrome P450 71A13 (CYP71A13) expression and camalexin biosynthesis to repress anti-fungal defense. 5’ tsR-Ala is downregulated upon fungal infection. Our study provides a global view of 5’ tsRNAs and 5’ tRNA halves in Arabidopsis and unravels an important role of a 5’ tsRNA in regulating anti-fungal defense.

Project description:Infection with the flavivirus Zika virus (ZIKV) can result in tissue tropism, disease outcome, and route of transmission distinct from those of other flaviviruses; therefore, we aimed to identify host machinery that exclusively promotes the ZIKV replication cycle, which can inform on differences at the organismal level. We previously reported that deletion of the host antiviral ribonuclease L (RNase L) protein decreases ZIKV production. Canonical RNase L catalytic activity typically restricts viral infection, including that of the flavivirus dengue virus (DENV), suggesting an unconventional, proviral RNase L function during ZIKV infection. In this study, we reveal that an inactive form of RNase L supports assembly of ZIKV replication factories (RFs) to enhance infectious virus production. Compared with the densely concentrated ZIKV RFs generated with RNase L present, deletion of RNase L induced broader subcellular distribution of ZIKV replication intermediate double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and NS3 protease, two constituents of ZIKV RFs. An inactive form of RNase L was sufficient to contain ZIKV genome and dsRNA within a smaller RF area, which subsequently increased infectious ZIKV release from the cell. Inactive RNase L can interact with cytoskeleton, and flaviviruses remodel cytoskeleton to construct RFs. Thus, we used the microtubule-stabilization drug paclitaxel to demonstrate that ZIKV repurposes RNase L to facilitate the cytoskeleton rearrangements required for proper generation of RFs. During infection with flaviviruses DENV or West Nile Kunjin virus, inactive RNase L did not improve virus production, suggesting that a proviral RNase L role is not a general feature of all flavivirus infections.

Project description:In response to foreign and endogenous double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), protein kinase R (PKR) and ribonuclease L (RNase L) reprogram translation in mammalian cells. PKR inhibits translation initiation through eIF2 phosphorylation, which triggers stress granule (SG) formation and promotes translation of stress responsive mRNAs. The mechanisms of RNase L-driven translation repression, its contribution to SG assembly, and its regulation of dsRNA stress-induced mRNAs are unknown. We demonstrate that RNase L drives translational shut-off in response to dsRNA by promoting widespread turnover of mRNAs. This alters stress granule assembly and reprograms translation by only allowing for the translation of mRNAs resistant to RNase L degradation, including numerous antiviral mRNAs such as IFN- . Individual cells differentially activate dsRNA responses revealing variation that can affect cellular outcomes. This identifies bulk mRNA degradation and the resistance of antiviral mRNAs as the mechanism by which RNaseL reprograms translation in response to dsRNA.

Project description:Bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems help bacteria to reduce their metabolism in various stressful conditions and also play a part in generating antibiotic tolerant bacterial subpopulation called persisters. Many toxins of the bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems are ribonucleases. Such toxins have been mostly viewed as degraders of mRNA, however recently it was demonstrated that they are also capable of cleaving non-coding RNA. Current libraries are a part of a project which aims to identify the major RNA cleavage sites (in mRNA, rRNA and regulatory non-coding RNA) of MazF and MqsR toxins in E. coli. We were also interested in the activity of promoters during toxin overexpression. We used a targeted RNA-sequencing approach that allowed us to map the distinct 5- and 3-ends of toxin-cleaved RNA and also the beginnings of transcripts. We extracted total RNA from cultures where the expression of MazF or MqsR was induced; RNA from log phase culture was used as the control. In addition, RNA extracted from stationary phase culture was used to test for the possible toxin cleavage in natural stress conditions. The cleaved RNA is rapidly recycled making it possible that we miss important cleavage sites due to RNA degradation during the prolonged stationary phase. Therefore, in addition to wt E. coli we also used stationary phase RNA from exoribonuclease deficient strain where RNA cleavage products accumulate. Identification of the 5 ends is based on ligation of RNA adapters to the cellular RNA molecules, which requires 5 -monophosphates. Mapping of the 3 -ends is based on poly(A) tailing of RNA, which requires 3 -OH groups. Transcription initiation, ordinary cellular RNases, and toxin endonucleases all produce different types of RNA ends. These can be enzymatically converted to 5 -phosphates and 3 -OHs, which allows one to separately quantify the RNA ends produced by each of these processes from a single biological sample. Briefly, (i) primary transcripts have 5 -triphosphate ends that can be converted to monophosphate by Tobacco Acid Pyrophosphatase (TAP), and 3 -hydroxyl ends that can be directly polyadenylated by poly(A) polymerase. (ii) Most cellular RNases (excluding RNase I and the toxins) produce 5 -monophosphates and 3 -hydroxyls, which are directly usable for ligation/polyadenylation. (iii) RNase I, MazF, and several other toxins produce 5 -hydroxyl ends that need to be phosphorylated by T4 Polynucleotide Kinase (PNK) prior to ligation, and 2,3 -cyclic phosphates that need to be dephosphorylated and converted to 3 -hydroxyls, also by T4 PNK. In short, for each of our RNA samples three 5 end and two 3 end libraries were made. The PNK treated libraries contain reads mapping specifically to 5- or 3-ends left by toxin (or RNaseI) cleavage and TAP treated libraries have extra reads mapping to beginnings of the transcripts.
