Puf3 participates in ribosomal biogenesis in malaria parasites

ABSTRACT: Recent studies of the Puf family of RNA-binding proteins revealed that besides their traditional roles in translational regulation of mRNAs, some Puf proteins are also involved in ribosome biogenesis by binding rRNA. In this study, we report the role of a Puf-like protein in Plasmodium falciparum (name as PfPuf3) and its ortholog PyPuf3 in Plasmodium yoelii in ribosome biogenesis. Secondary structure prediction suggested that the RNA-binding domain of Puf3 consists of 11 pumilio repeats, similar to human Puf-A/yeast Puf6, which involved in ribosome biogenesis. Neither pfpuf3 nor pypuf3 could be genetically disrupted, suggesting they may be essential for the intraerythrocytic developmental cycle (IDC). A time-course study of PfPuf3 protein indicated that PfPuf3 was expressed during the entire IDC, with peak expression in early trophozoites. Cellular fractionation of PfPuf3 revealed that it is preferentially partitioned to the nuclear than the cytoplasmic fractions, which is consistent with a nuclear localization of PfPuf3::GFP and PyPuf3::GFP as seen by immunofluorescence. Further, we found PfPuf3 co-localized with a well-known nucleolus maker, PfNop1, demonstrating that PfPuf3 is a nucleolar protein. This localization is in contrast to the cytoplasmic localization of PfPuf1 and PfPuf2, but matches the localization of human Puf-A and yeast Puf6. Affinity purification of an N-terminal PTP-tagged variant of PfPuf3 revealed an association with 32 proteins associated with the 60S ribosome, and an enrichment of 28S rRNA and ITS2. Taken together, these results demonstrate a nucleolar localization of PfPuf3 and suggest an essential function of PfPuf3 in ribosomal biogenesis.

Isolation of PfPuf3 protein complex and mass spectrometry (MS) analysis

Project description:Recent studies of the Puf family of RNA-binding proteins revealed that besides their traditional roles in translational regulation of mRNAs, some Puf proteins are also involved in ribosome biogenesis by binding rRNA.

This localization is in contrast to the cytoplasmic localization of PfPuf1 and PfPuf2, but matches the localization of human Puf-A and yeast Puf6. Affinity purification of a C-terminal PTP-tagged variant of PfPuf3 revealed an association with 32 proteins associated with the 60S ribosome, and an enrichment of 28S rRNA and internal transcribed spacer 2. Taken together, these results demonstrate a nucleolar localization of PfPuf3 and suggest an essential function of PfPuf3 in ribosomal biogenesis.

URB1 ensures 3' end processing of pre-rRNAs to prevent exosome-dependent degradation and is required for development

Project description:The nucleolus composes hundreds of proteins that play distinct roles in ribosomal RNA (rRNA) processing within Fibrillar Center/Dense Fibrillar Component (FC/DFC) units and ribosome assembly in Granular Component (GC). The sub-nucleolar localization of most proteins and how their unique localization facilitates rRNA processing have remained elusive. By screening 200 nucleolar candidate proteins with high-resolution, live-cell microscopy, we identified a previously undescribed sub-nucleolar compartment, named the periphery of DFC (PDFC). Among the 12 proteins identified in PDFC, URB1 (unhealthy ribosome biogenesis 1) is required for PDFC organization and proper 3' end processing of 47S pre-rRNA. URB1 binds between the 28S rRNA and the 3' external transcribed spacer (3' ETS) to ensure 3' ETS removal, which occurs at the DFC/PDFC boundary. Loss of URB1 leads to accumulation of aberrant 3' ETS-retained 32S pre-rRNA variants, which activates exosome-dependent nucleolar surveillance. This causes decreased 28S rRNA production, reduced cell proliferation and retarded mouse embryonic pre-implementation development. Furthermore, urb1 depletion results in developmental craniofacial disorder in zebrafish, which can be at least partially rescued by further depleting exosome components. Together, this study provides new insights into functional sub-nucleolar organizations, identifies a physiologically essential step in rRNA maturation and emphasizes the exosome-dependent pre-rRNA surveillance pathway.

SOD1 Regulates Ribosome Biogenesis in KRAS Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Project description:SOD1 is known as the major cytoplasmic superoxide dismutase and an anticancer target. However, the role of SOD1 in cancer is not fully understood. Herein we describe the generation of an inducible Sod1 knockout in KRAS-driven NSCLC mouse model. Sod1 knockout markedly reduces tumor burden in vivo and blocks growth of KRAS mutant NSCLC cells in vitro. Intriguingly, SOD1 is enriched in the nucleus and notably in the nucleolus of NSCLC cells. The nuclear and nucleolar, not cytoplasmic, form of SOD1 is essential for lung cancer cell proliferation. Moreover, SOD1 interacts with PeBoW complex and controls its assembly necessary for pre-60S ribosomal subunit maturation. Mechanistically, SOD1 regulates co-localization of PeBoW with and processing of pre-rRNA, and maturation of cytoplasmic 60S ribosomal subunits in KRAS mutant lung cancer cells. Collectively, our study unravels a nuclear SOD1 function essential for ribosome biogenesis and proliferation in KRAS-driven lung cancer.

Functional analysis of HD2C in Arabidopsis

Project description:Ribosome biogenesis is a fundamental process required for all cellular activities. Histone deacetylases play critical roles in many biological processes including transcriptional repression and rDNA silencing. However, their function in pre-rRNA processing remains poorly understood. Here, we discovered a previously uncharacterized role of Arabidopsis histone deacetylase HD2C in pre-rRNA processing via both canonical and non-canonical manners. HD2C interacts with HD2B and forms homo- and/or hetero-oligomers in the nucleolus. Depletion of HD2C and HD2B induces a ribosome biogenesis deficiency morphological phenotype and aberrant accumulation of 18S pre-rRNA intermediates. Our genome-wide analysis revealed that HD2C binds and represses the expression of key genes involved in ribosome biogenesis. Using RNA immunoprecipitation and sequencing, we further uncovered a non-canonical mechanism of HD2C directly associating with pre-rRNA and small nucleolar RNAs to regulate rRNA methylation. Together, this study reveals a multifaceted role of HD2C in ribosome biogenesis and provides mechanistic insights into how histone deacetylases modulate rRNA maturation at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels.

Circular non-coding RNA ANRIL modulates ribosomal RNA maturation and atherosclerosis in humans.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are broadly expressed in eukaryotic cells, but their role in human health and disease remains obscure. Here, we show that circular antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (circANRIL), which is transcribed at a locus of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease on chromosome 9p21, confers athero-protection by controlling ribosomal RNA (rRNA) maturation and modulating pathways of atherogenesis. At the molecular level, circANRIL competes with precursor rRNA (pre-rRNA) for binding to pescadillo homolog 1 (PES1), an essential 60S-preribosomal assembly factor, thereby impairing exonuclease-mediated pre-rRNA processing and ribosome biogenesis. As a consequence, circANRIL induces nucleolar stress and p53 activation, resulting in the induction of apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation, which are key athero-protective cell functions within the arterial wall. Collectively, these findings identify circANRIL as a prototype of a circRNA regulating ribosome biogenesis and conferring athero-protection, thereby unveiling a therapeutic potential of certain circRNAs in human disease. Analysis of transcriptome-wide expression level in HEK293 cells with stable overexpression of circular ANRIL (n=3) compared to a vector control (n=3).

rRNA Biogenesis Regulates Mouse 2C-like State by 3D Structure Reorganization of Peri-Nucleolar Heterochromatin [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Nucleolus is the organelle for ribosome biogenesis and sensing various types of stress. Its role in regulating stem cell fate is unclear. Here, we present multiple lines of evidence that nucleolar stress induced by interfering rRNA biogenesis can drive two-cell stage embryo-like (2C-like) transcriptional program and induce an expanded 2C-like cell population in mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells. Mechanistically, the liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) mediated by rRNA and nucleolar proteins maintains the formation of peri-nucleolar heterochromatin (PNH). When mES cells undergo rRNA biogenesis defect, the normal LLPS of nucleolus is disrupted, causing deconjugation of NCL/TRIM28 complex on PNH and changes of epigenetic state and 3D structure of PNH, which leads to Dux, a conserved multicopy retrogene defining the cleavage-specific transcriptional program in placental mammals, to be released from the PNH region, activation of 2C-like program and transition of mES cells to 2C-like cells. Embryos with rRNA biogenesis defect are incompatible to develop from 2-cell (2C) to blastocyte (BC) and appear to skew from the blastocyst to earlier cleavage embryo signatures. Our results highlight that nucleolar LLPS-mediated 3D chromatin structure reshaping of PNH compartment regulates the fate transition of mES cells to 2C-like cells. Our findings for the first time elucidate the novel roles of rRNA biogenesis in regulating the 2C-like and ES state homeostasis in cultured cells and suggest that rRNA biogenesis is a new molecular switch from nucleolus-unmatured 2C stage to nucleolus-matured BC stage during murine pre-implantation embryo development.
