Project description:mRNAs transmit the genetic information that dictates protein production and are a nexus for numerous pathways that regulate gene expression. The prevailing view of canonical mRNA decay is that it is mediated by deadenylation and decapping followed by exonucleolysis from the 3' and 5' ends. By developing Akron-seq, a novel approach that captures the native 3' and 5' ends of capped and polyadenylated RNAs, respectively, we show that canonical human mRNAs are subject to repeated cotranslational and ribosome-phased endonucleolytic cuts at the exit site of the mRNA ribosome channel, in a process that we term ribothrypsis. We uncovered RNA G quadruplexes among likely ribothrypsis triggers and show that ribothrypsis is a conserved process. Strikingly, we found that mRNA fragments are abundant in living cells and thus have important implications for the interpretation of experiments, such as RNA-seq, that rely on the assumption that mRNAs exist largely as full-length molecules in vivo.

Project description:PIWI-clade Argonaute proteins repress transposable elements in animal gonads. Their sequence specificity is conferred via bound ~23-30nt long piRNAs, which are processed from single stranded precursor RNAs. How transcripts are specified as precursors and processed into stereotypical piRNA populations are central unresolved questions. Here we show that piRNA-guided RNA cleavage in Drosophila results not only in generation of a ping-pong partner piRNA but further triggers efficient 3′ directed and phased primary piRNA biogenesis. Phasing is a feature of primary piRNAs in somatic and germline cells and a consequence of consecutive endo-nucleolytic cleavage events catalyzed by Zucchini. Formation of 3′ and 5′ ends of flanking piRNAs is therefore tightly coupled. Zucchini also participates in 3′ end formation of secondary piRNAs but its function can be bypassed by additional downstream piRNA-guided cleavages and subsequent precursor trimming. Hallmarks of Zucchini-dependent phased piRNA biogenesis are also evident in mouse testes, pointing to an evolutionarily conserved mechanism of piRNA biogenesis. This study aims at understanding how piRNA biogenesis is intiated in the Drosophila germline and understanding the role of the nuclease Zucchini/MitoPLD in piRNA biogenesis in Drosophila/Mouse by analysing small RNA sequencing data of various genotypes and sensor constructs.

Project description:Accurate identification of NAD-capped RNAs is essential for understanding their biological function. Previous transcriptome-wide methods used to profile NAD-capped RNAs contain inherent limitations of having hindered the accurate identification of NAD caps from eukaryotic RNAs. Herein we introduced two novel orthogonal methods to precisely identify NAD-capped RNAs. One is D-SPAAC, a copper-free click-chemistry-based approach, and the second is an intramolecular ligation-based circNAD to resolve implicit limitations of the previous methods, which enabled us to unravel unforeseen features of NAD RNAs in budding yeast. Contrary to previous reports, we find that 1) cellular NAD RNAs can be full-length and polyadenylated transcripts, 2) transcription start sites for NAD-capped and canonical m7G-capped RNAs are different, and 3) NAD caps can be added post-transcriptionally. Moreover, we uncovered a dichotomy of NAD RNAs in translation where NAD RNAs are detected with mitochondrial ribosomes but not cytoplasmic ribosomes indicating their propensity to be translated in mitochondria.

Project description:Global high-throughput phosphoproteomic profiling is increasingly being applied to cancer specimens as a means to identify the oncogenic signaling cascades responsible for promoting disease initiation and disease progression; pathways that are often invisible to genomics analysis. Hence, phosphoproteomic profiling has enormous potential to inform and improve individualized anti-cancer treatment strategies. However, to achieve the adequate phosphoproteomic depth and coverage necessary to identify the activated, and hence, targetable kinases responsible for driving oncogenic signaling pathways; affinity phosphopeptide enrichment techniques are required and often coupled with offline high-pressure liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separation prior to nanoflow liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-MS/MS). These complex and time-consuming procedures, limit the utility of phosphoproteomics for the analysis of individual cancer patient specimens in real-time, and restrict phosphoproteomics to specialized laboratories often outside of the clinical setting. To address these limitations, here we have optimized a new protocol, phospho-Heavy-labeled-spiketide FAIMS Stepped-CV DDA (pHASED), that employs online phosphoproteome deconvolution using high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) and internal phosphopeptide standards to provide accurate label-free quantitation (LFQ) data in real-time. Compared with traditional LFQ using shotgun phosphoproteomics workflows, pHASED provided increased phosphoproteomic depth and coverage (phosphopeptides = 4,617 pHASED, 2,789 LFQ), whilst eliminating the variability associated with offline prefractionation. pHASED was optimized using tyrosine kinase inhibitor (sorafenib) resistant isogenic FLT3-mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell line models. Bioinformatic analysis identified differential activation of the Serine/threonine protein kinase ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) pathway, responsible for sensing and repairing DNA damage in sorafenib-resistant AML cell line models, thereby uncovering a potential therapeutic opportunity. Herein, we have optimized a rapid, reproducible, and flexible protocol for the characterization of complex cancer phosphoproteomes in real-time; a step towards the implementation of phosphoproteomics in the clinic to aid in the selection of anti-cancer therapies for patients.

Project description:Plants evolved an array of disease resistance genes (R genes) to fight pathogens. In the absence of pathogen infection, NBS-LRR genes, which comprise a major subfamily of R genes, are suppressed by a small RNA cascade involving microRNAs (miRNAs) that trigger the biogenesis of phased siRNAs (phasiRNAs) from R gene transcripts. However, whether or how R genes influence small RNA biogenesis is unknown. In this study, we isolated a mutant with global defects in the biogenesis of miRNAs and phasiRNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana and traced the defects to the over accumulation and nuclear localization of an R protein SNC1. We showed that nuclear SNC1 represses the transcription of miRNA and phasiRNA loci, probably through the transcriptional corepressor TPR1. Intriguingly, nuclear SNC1 reduces the accumulation of phasiRNAs from three source R genes and concomitantly, the expression of a majority of the ~170 R genes was up-regulated. Taken together, this study reveals a new R gene-miRNA-phasiRNA regulatory module that regulates plants' growth-defense trade-off.

Project description:As the most common mRNA cap, the m7G cap impacts the fate of an mRNA in eukaryotes. The metabolite and redox agent, nicotinamide adenine diphosphate (NAD+), can be used as an initiating nucleotide in RNA synthesis to result in NAD+-capped RNAs. Such RNAs have been identified in bacteria, yeast, and human cells, but it is not known whether they exist in plant transcriptomes. The functions of the NAD+ cap in RNA metabolism or translation are still poorly understood. Here, through NAD captureSeq, we show that NAD+- capped RNAs are widespread in Arabidopsis thaliana. NAD+-capped RNAs are predominantly messenger RNAs encoded by the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes but not the chloroplast genome. NAD-capped transcripts from the nuclear genome appear to be spliced and polyadenylated. Furthermore, although NAD+-capped transcripts constitute a small proportion of the total transcript pool from any gene, they are enriched in the polysomal fraction and associate with translating ribosomes. Our findings implicate the existence of as yet unknown mechanisms of translation initiation on NAD+-capped mRNAs. More importantly, our findings suggest that cellular metabolic and/or redox states may influence, and maybe regulated by, mRNA NAD capping.

Project description:Pluripotency is highly dynamic and progresses through a continuum of pluripotent stem cell states. The two states that bookend the pluripotency continuum, naïve and primed, are well characterized, but our understanding of the intermediate states and the transitions between them remain incomplete. To address this gap in knowledge, using a previously validated system to induce naive mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to post-implantation pre-grastrulating epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs), we generated comprehensive high-temporal-resolution maps of the proteome, phosphoproteome, transcriptome, and epigenome of ESCs transitioning from naïve to primed pluripotency. Our data provide a comprehensive molecular description of the phased progression of pluripotency and a foundation for investigating mechanisms that regulate pluripotent state transitions.
