The RNA exosome adaptor protein ZFC3H1 functionally competes with nuclear export activity to retain target transcripts

ABSTRACT: Mammalian genomes are promiscuously transcribed, yielding protein-coding and non-coding products. Many transcripts are short-lived due to their nuclear degradation by the ribonucleolytic RNA exosome. Here, we show that abolished nuclear exosome function causes the formation of distinct nuclear foci, containing polyadenylated (pA+) RNA secluded from nucleocytoplasmic export. We asked whether exosome co-factors could serve such nuclear retention. Co-localization studies revealed the enrichment of pA+ RNA foci with ‘pA-tail exosome targeting (PAXT) connection’ components MTR4, ZFC3H1 and PABPN1, but no overlap with known nuclear structures, such as Cajal bodies, speckles, paraspeckles or nucleoli. Interestingly, ZFC3H1 is required for foci formation, and in its absence selected pA+ RNAs, including coding and non-coding transcripts, are exported to the cytoplasm in a process dependent on the mRNA export factor AlyREF. Our results establish ZFC3H1 as a central nuclear RNA retention factor, counteracting nuclear export activity.

The Human ZC3H3 and RBM26/27 Proteins Are Critical for PAXT-mediated Nuclear RNA Decay

Project description:Recruitment of the human ribonucleolytic RNA exosome to nuclear polyadenylated (pA+) RNA is facilitated by the Poly(A) Tail eXosome Targeting (PAXT) connection. Besides its core dimer, formed by the exosome co-factor MTR4 and the ZFC3H1 protein, the PAXT connection remains poorly defined. By characterizing nuclear pA+-RNA bound proteomes as well as MTR4-ZFC3H1 containing complexes in conditions favoring PAXT assembly, we here uncover three additional proteins required for PAXT function: ZC3H3, RBM26 and RBM27 along with the known PAXT-associated protein, PABPN1. The zinc-finger protein ZC3H3 interacts directly with MTR4-ZFC3H1 and loss of any of the newly identified PAXT components results in the accumulation of PAXT substrates. Collectively, our results establish new factors involved in the turnover of nuclear pA+ RNA and suggest that these are limiting for PAXT activity.

Frac-Seq Analysis of ZFC3H1 Knockdown U2OS Cells

Project description:We have found that depletion of the zinc finger protein ZFC3H1 inhibits the nuclear retention of these RNAs. ZFC3H1 forms a complex with MTR4 and PABPN1 (the PolyAdenylation EXosome Targeting complex (Meola et al 2016, Ogami et al 2017) and likely recruits the nuclear exosome for RNA degradation. Recently, we found that depletion of U1-70K, one protein component of the U1 snRNP spliceosomal complex, inhibits nuclear retention of 5’SS motif containing RNAs. The U1 snRNP complex recognizes and binds to the 5’SS motif and in vitro studies showed that U1-70K directly interact with a similar 5’SS motif through U1 snRNA binding (Gunderson et al 1999). Interestingly, we found that U1 snRNP is involved in targeting 5’SS motif containing mRNAs to nuclear speckles shortly following RNA transcription. In contrast, ZFC3H1 is involved in nuclear speckle localization post-transcriptionally and actively retain RNAs in these structures. Together, our results suggest a model where U1 snRNP interacts with the RNA via the 5’SS motif and targets mature mRNAs to nuclear speckles. Specifically, it suggests that misprocessed RNAs can be targeted to speckles (or other nucleoplasmic foci) and that these foci serve as a platform to recruit the nuclear exosome via ZFC3H1. Our results highlight a splicing independent role of U1 snRNP and how mRNA nuclear export function in nuclear surveillance to prevent the translation of aberrant proteins.

Dual agonistic and antagonistic roles of ZC3H18 provides for co-activation of distinct nuclear RNA decay pathways

Project description:The RNA exosome is a versatile ribonuclease. In the nucleoplasm of mammalian cells, it is assisted by its adaptors the Nuclear EXosome Targeting (NEXT) complex and the PolyA eXosome Targeting (PAXT) connection. Via its association with the ARS2 and ZC3H18 proteins, NEXT/exosome is recruited to capped and short unadenylated transcripts. Conversely, PAXT/exosome was considered to target longer and adenylated substrates via their poly(A) tails. Here, mutational analysis of the core PAXT component ZFC3H1 uncovers a separate branch of the PAXT pathway, which targets short adenylated RNAs and relies on a direct ARS2-ZFC3H1 interaction. We further demonstrate that similar acidic-rich short linear motifs of ZFC3H1 and ZC3H18 compete for a common ARS2 epitope. Consequently, while promoting NEXT function, ZC3H18 antagonizes PAXT activity. We suggest that this unprecedented organization of RNA decay complexes provides co-activation of NEXT and PAXT at loci with abundant production of short exosome substrates.

Distinct and redundant roles of nuclear RNA exosome targeting complexes

Project description:Degradation of transcripts in mammalian nuclei is primarily facilitated by the RNA exosome. To obtain substrate specificity, the exosome is aided by adaptors; in the nucleoplasm, the Nuclear EXosome Targeting (NEXT) complex and the PolyA (pA) eXsome Targeting (PAXT) connection. However, how exact targeting is achieved remains enigmatic. Employing high-resolution 3’end sequencing of both steady state and newly produced pA+ and pA- RNA, we demonstrate that NEXT substrates arise from heterogenous and predominantly pA- 3’ends often covering kb-wide genomic regions. In contrast, PAXT targets harbor well-defined pA+ 3’ends defined by canonical pA site usage. Irrespective this clear division, NEXT and PAXT act redundantly in two ways: i) Regional redundancy: The majority of exosome-targeted transcription units produce both NEXT- and PAXT-sensitive RNA isoforms; and ii) Isoform redundancy: The PAXT connection ensures the fail-safe decay of post-transcriptionally polyadenylated NEXT targets. In conjunction, this provides for the efficient nuclear removal of superfluous RNA.

PAP-gamma associates with PAXT nuclear exosome to control the abundance of PROMPT ncRNAs

Project description:Pervasive transcription of the human genome generates an abundance of RNAs that must be processed and degraded. The nuclear RNA exosome is the main RNA degradation machinery in the nucleus. However, nuclear exosome must be recruited to its substrates by targeting complexes, such as NEXT or PAXT. By proteomic analysis, we have identified additional subunits of PAXT, including many orthologs of MTREC found in S. pombe. In particular, we show that polyA polymerase gamma was associated with PAXT. Genome-wide mapping of the binding sites of ZFC3H1, RBM26 and PAPgamma, showed that PAXT is recruited to the TSS of hundreds of genes. Loss of ZFC3H1 abolished recruitment of PAXT subunits including PAPgamma to TSSs and concomitantly increased the abundance of PROMPTs at the same sites. Moreover, PAPgamma polyadenylated PROMPTs and modulated their stability. Our results thus provide key insights into the direct targeting and degradation of PROMPT ncRNAs by PAXT, at their genomic sites and depending on polyadenylation of RNAs.

Identification of a nuclear exosome decay pathway for processed transcripts

Project description:The RNA exosome is fundamental for the degradation of RNA in eukaryotic nuclei. Substrate targeting is facilitated by its co-factor Mtr4p/hMTR4, which links to RNA-binding protein adaptors. One such activity is the human Nuclear EXosome Targeting (NEXT) complex, composed of hMTR4, the Zn-finger protein ZCCHC8 and the RNA-binding factor RBM7. NEXT primarily targets early and unprocessed transcripts, demanding a rationale for how the nuclear exosome recognizes processed RNAs. Here, we describe the PolyA tail eXosome Targeting (PAXT) connection, comprising the hitherto uncharacterized ZFC3H1 Zn-knuckle protein as a central link between hMTR4 and the nuclear polyA binding protein PABPN1. Individual depletion of ZFC3H1 and PABPN1 results in the accumulation of common transcripts, that are generally both longer and more 3’polyadenylated than NEXT substrates. Importantly, ZFC3H1/PABPN1 and ZCCHC8/RBM7 contact hMTR4 in a mutually exclusive manner, revealing that the exosome targets nuclear transcripts of different maturation status by substituting its hMTR4-associating adaptors.

A functional link between nuclear RNA decay and transcritional control mediated by the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2

Project description:Pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells constitute an essential cellular niche in animal development. It is well documented that ES cells are sustained by epigenetic and transcriptional regulation, but the role of post-transcriptional processes remains less explored. Here, we identify a link between nuclear RNA levels, regulated by the ‘polyA RNA exosome targeting’ (PAXT) connection, and transcriptional control, regulated by the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2). Knockout of the PAXT component ZFC3H1 in mouse ES cells impairs their differentiation. In addition to the upregulation of bona fide PAXT substrates, Zfc3h1-/- cells abnormally express developmental genes usually subjected to PRC2-mediated repression. Such de-repression is paralleled by decreased PRC2 binding to chromatin at target genes, and low PRC2-directed H3K27 methylation. PRC2 complex stability is compromised in Zfc3h1-/- cells with elevated levels of unspecific RNA bound to PRC2 components. We propose that excess RNA hampers PRC2 function through its sequestration from DNA and complex destabilisation. Our results highlight the importance of balancing nuclear RNA levels and demonstrate the capacity of bulk RNA to regulate chromatin-associated proteins.
