Project description:The stability, localization and translation of mammalian mRNAs are largely determined by sequences in the 3' untranslated region (UTR). Here, we describe a conserved program of increased upstream polyadenylation site usage following activation of primary murine CD4+ T lymphocytes. This program, resulting in shorter 3' UTRs, is a characteristic of immune cell activation and strongly correlates with proliferation across diverse cell types and tissues. Enforced expression of full-length 3' UTRs confers differences in protein expression that can in some cases be eliminated by deletion of predicted microRNA target sites in the variably included region. Together, our data indicate that polyadenylation site usage is coordinately regulated such that states of increased proliferation are associated with widespread reduction of 3' UTR-based regulation.

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation is an important cellular mechanism that enables generation of mRNA isoforms that differ in their 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) and consequently in their susceptibility to miRNA and RNA binding protein mediated regulation. A dramatic change in polyadenylation site usage, leading to the systematic expression of short 3’ UTR isoforms is known to occur upon induction of proliferation in resting cells. To understand the functional consequences of short 3’ UTR isoform expression we used 3' end sequencing and quantitative mass spectroscopy to determine polyadenylation site use, mRNA and protein levels in murine and human naive and activated T cells. We found that while the process and its impact on the susceptibility to miRNA and RNA binding protein mediated regulation are evolutionarily conserved, the conservation is poor at the level of individual orthologous genes. Contrary to the common belief, we did not find that transcriptome-wide 3' UTR shortening leads to a matched increase in mRNA and protein levels of genes with tandem polyadenylation sites. 3' ends of transcripts were profiled by high-throughput sequencing in murine and human naive and activated T cells.

Project description:In eukaryotes, the 3' ends of RNA polymerase II-generated transcripts are made in the majority of cases by site-specific endonucleolytic cleavage, followed by the addition of a poly(A) tail. By alternative polyadenylation, a gene can give rise to multiple mRNA isoforms that differ in the length of their 3' UTRs and hence in their susceptibility to post-transcriptional regulatory factors such as microRNAs. A series of recently conducted high-throughput studies of poly(A) site usage revealed an extensive tissue-specific control of 3’ UTR length and drastic changes in 3’ UTR length of mRNAs upon induction of proliferation in resting cells. To understand the dynamics of polyadenylation site usage, we recently identified binding sites of the major pre-mRNA 3’ end processing factors - cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor (CPSF), cleavage stimulation factor (CstF), and cleavage factor Im (CF Im) - and mapped cleaved polyadenylation sites in HEK293 cells. Our present study extends previous findings on the role of CF Im in alternative polyadenylation and reveals that subunits of the CF Im complex generally control 3’ UTR length. More specifically, we demonstrate that the loss-of-function of CF Im68 and CF Im25 but not of CF Im59 leads to a transcriptome-wide increase of the use of proximal polyadenylation sites. 3' ends of transcripts were profiled by high-throughput sequencing in HEK 293 cells under normal conditions, and in HEK 293 cells depleted of 3' end processing factors CF Im25, CF Im59, and CF Im68.

Project description:About 70% of human genes carry multiple polyadenylation signals, and mRNA 3’end formation is dynamically regulated under different physiological conditions. Global 3’end shortening through alternative polyadenylation (APA) correlates with enhanced cellular proliferation, and 3’ untranslated region (UTR) shortening is a widespread phenomenon in tumour cells, where it appears to enhance tumorigenic properties. However, the mechanisms responsible for this dynamic APA regulation remain incompletely understood. Here we show that transcription factor Sp1 binds directly to RNA in vivo and is a common repressor of distal poly (A) site usage. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis identified 2344 genes (36% of total mapped mRNA transcripts) with lengthened 3’UTRs upon Sp1 depletion. Sp1 preferentially binds in vivo within the 3’UTRs of many of these lengthened transcripts and inhibits cleavage at distal sites by interacting physically with subunits of the core cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) machinery. The 3’UTR lengths of Sp1 target genes in breast cancer patient RNA-seq data correlate with Sp1 expression levels, implicating Sp1-mediated APA regulation in modulating tumorigenic properties. Taken together, our findings reveal an important mechanism for dynamic APA regulation by unraveling a novel function of Sp1.

Project description:The 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) of mRNAs contain cis-acting elements for posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Here, we report that mouse genes tend to express mRNAs with longer 3' UTRs as embryonic development progresses. This global regulation is controlled by alternative polyadenylation and coordinates with initiation of organogenesis and aspects of embryonic development, including morphogenesis, differentiation, and proliferation. Using myogenesis of C2C12 myoblast cells as a model, we recapitulated this process in vitro and found that 3' UTR lengthening is likely caused by weakening of mRNA polyadenylation activity. Because alternative 3' UTR sequences are typically longer and have higher AU content than constitutive ones, our results suggest that lengthening of 3' UTR can significantly augment posttranscriptional control of gene expression during embryonic development, such as microRNA-mediated regulation.

Project description:Messenger RNA stability, localization, and translation are largely determined by sequences in their 3′ untranslated regions (3’UTRs), which recruit regulatory proteins and RNAs. More than half of the mammalian genes generate multiple mRNA isoforms differing in their 3′UTRs and therefore in their regulatory elements. The Cytoplasmic Polyadenylation Element Binding protein 1 (CPEB1) binds to cognate sites in 3’ UTRs and regulates translation. CPEB1 can shuttle to the nucleus and we report its co-localization with splicing factors. CPEB1 knock down leads to changes in alternative splicing, and we show that alternative 3’ splice site linked to alternative polyadenylation of the bub-3 pre-mRNA, important for cell proliferation, is regulated by CPEB1 at least in part by preventing 3’ splice site recognition by U2AF. RNA-Seq experiments reveal that CPEB1 mediates 3’ UTR shortening of hundreds of mRNAs, leading to changes in their translation efficiency.
