Global Profiling of hnRNP A2/B1-RNA Interactions on Chromatin Suggests Additional Roles Outside of Splicing

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) often carry out their functions through associations with adaptor proteins. We recently identified heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A2/B1 as an adaptor of the human HOTAIR lncRNA. hnRNP A2 and B1 are splice isoforms of the same gene. Spliced HOTAIR preferentially associates with the B1 isoform, which may contribute to a mechanism matching lncRNAs with RNA transcripts of target genes. In this study we used enhanced cross-linking immunoprecipitation (eCLIP) to map the complete set of direct interactions between A2/B1 and RNA in breast cancer cells. We identified multiple additional sites of isoform specificity that correlate with differences in binding motif enrichment. Surprisingly, a strong A2/B1 binding site occurs in the third intron of HOTAIR, which interrupts a known RNA-RNA interaction hotspot and is retained at a higher frequency than other HOTAIR introns. In vitro eCLIP experiments suggest that A2/B1 may redistribute to exonic binding sites once this intron is spliced. A2/B1 associates with multiple lncRNAs at regions that may contribute to downstream regulation and function of the lncRNA. Finally, we performed cellular fractionation experiments to characterize the pattern of RNA association of A2/B1 in chromatin, nucleoplasm, and cytoplasm and find that a majority of interactions occur on chromatin, even those that do not contribute to co-transcriptional splicing. Our data characterize the multiple functions of a repurposed splicing factor, including isoform-biased interactions, and highlight that the vast majority of these functions occur on chromatin-associated RNA.

An RNA matchmaker protein regulates the activity of the long noncoding RNA HOTAIR

Project description:The human long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) HOTAIR acts in trans to recruit the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) to the HOXD gene cluster and promote gene silencing during development. In breast cancers, overexpression of HOTAIR increases metastatic potential via the repression of many additional genes. It has remained unclear what factors determine HOTAIR-dependent PRC2 activity at specific genomic loci, particularly when high levels of HOTAIR result in aberrant gene silencing. To identify additional proteins that contribute to the specific action of HOTAIR, we performed a quantitative proteomic analysis of the HOTAIR interactome. We found that the most specific interaction was between HOTAIR and the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A2/B1, a member of a family of proteins involved in nascent mRNA processing and RNA matchmaking. Our data suggest that A2/B1 are key contributors to HOTAIR-mediated chromatin regulation in breast cancer cells: A2/B1 knockdown reduces HOTAIR-dependent breast cancer cell invasion and decreases PRC2 activity at the majority of HOTAIR-dependent loci. We found that the B1 isoform, which differs from A2 by 12 additional amino acids, binds with highest specificity to HOTAIR. B1 also binds chromatin and associates preferentially with RNA transcripts of HOTAIR gene targets. We furthermore demonstrate a direct RNA-RNA interaction between HOTAIR and a target transcript that is enhanced by B1 binding. Together, these results suggest a model in which B1 matches HOTAIR with transcripts of target genes on chromatin, leading to repression by PRC2.

HNRNPA2B1 regulates alternative RNA processing in the nervous system and accumulates in granules in ALS IPSC-derived motor neurons [hnRNPA2B1_small_rnaseq]

Project description:HnRNPA2B1 encodes an RNA binding protein associated with neurodegenerative disorders. However, its function in the nervous system is unclear. Transcriptome-wide cross-linking and immunoprecipitation in mouse spinal cord discover UAGG motifs enriched within ~2,500 hnRNP A2/B1 binding sites and an unexpected role for hnRNP A2/B1 in alternative polyadenylation. Loss of hnRNP A2/B1 results in alternative splicing, including skipping of an exon in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) that reduces D-serine metabolism. Inclusion of the DAO exon is also reduced in transgenic ALS mice models. ALS-associated hnRNP A2/B1 D290V mutant patient fibroblasts and motor neurons differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells demonstrate gain-of-mutant-dependent splicing differences. Mutant motor neurons also exhibit increased hnRNP A2/B1 localization to cytoplasmic granules during stress, which are abrogated by a small molecule CA43. Our findings and cellular resource identify RNA networks affected in loss of normal and mutated hnRNP A2/B1 with broad relevance to neurodegeneration.
