Simultaneous Measurement of Transcriptional and Post-transcriptional Parameters by 3' end RNA-seq

ABSTRACT: Cellular RNA levels are determined by transcription and decay rates, which are fundamental in understanding gene expression regulation. Measurement of these two parameters is usually performed independently, complicating analysis and introducing methodological biases that hamper direct comparison. Here, we present a simple approach of concurrent sequencing of S. cerevisiae polyA+ and polyA- RNA 3' ends to simultaneously estimate total RNA levels, transcription and decay rates from the same RNA sample. The transcription data generated correlate well with reported estimates and also reveal local RNA polymerase stalling and termination sites with high precision. Although the method by design uses brief metabolic labeling of newly synthesized RNA with 4-thiouridine, the results demonstrate that transcription estimates can also be gained from unlabeled RNA samples. These findings underscore the potential of the approach, which should be generally applicable to study a range of biological questions in diverse organisms.

Simultaneous estimation of gene regulatory network structure and RNA kinetics from single cell gene expression

Project description:Cells respond to environmental and developmental stimuli by changing their transcriptomes through both regulation of transcription rate and regulated mRNA decay. These biophysical properties determine the transcriptional state of a cell, but measuring them requires metabolic RNA labeling (e.g. 4-thiouracil pulse-chase) to separate RNA decay from synthesis rates. We approach this problem by sequencing individual Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell transcriptomes by continuously sampling from a population without metabolic labeling. Using this continuous-sampling system, we measure expression in 180,000 individual cells both prior to and in response to rapamycin treatment. The rates of change for each transcript can be calculated on a per-cell basis to give smooth, biologically relevant, estimates of RNA velocity. We then train deep learning models to use this transcriptomic and velocity information to make time-dependent predictions about RNA biophysics, and to infer causal regulatory relationships between transcription factors and their genes.

RNA half-life regulation reveals countercyclical regulation of buffered RNAs and RNAs undergoing changes in abundance

Project description:mRNA abundances are regulated by the opposing forces of transcription and decay, and yet how decay contributes to mRNA abundance regulation is largely unexplored. We addressed this question using genome-wide data on mRNA rates of abundance change, half-lives, and transcription rates of leaf cells responding to a transdifferentiation stimulusulus. Half-life regulation was common (22% of mRNAs underwent changes in half-life), but RNA abundance regulation by decay alone or by decay that supported transcriptional regulation was rare. Instead, most altered RNA half-lives opposed changes in transcription. Oppositionally regulated mRNAs were characterized by large changes in transcription and decay rates yet changes in mRNA abundances were either modest or undetectable, suggestive of RNA buffering. Oppositionally-regulated and buffered RNAs showed very similar dynamics, suggesting use of a common mechanism. The strongest contributions of RNA decay to RNA abundance regulation was in synergistically regulated transcripts, where rate changes in decay and transcription rates worked together to change RNA abundances.

SLAM-Drop-seq reveals mRNA kinetic rates throughout the cell cycle

Project description:We combined RNA metabolic labeling and alkylation with droplet-based sequencing to detect newly synthesized mRNAs in single cells. With the classification of labeled and unlabeled precursor and mature mRNAs, we modeled and analyzed the time-dependent RNA kinetic rates associated with the cell cycle. We found both transcription and degradation rates are highly dynamic over the cell cycle and different kinetic regulation types were observed for cycling genes.

Improving the study of RNA dynamics through advances in RNA-seq with metabolic labeling and nucleotide-recoding chemistry

Project description:RNA metabolic labeling using 4-thiouridine (s4U) can be used to capture the dynamics of RNA synthesis and decay. The power of this approach is dependent on appropriate quantification of labeled and unlabeled sequencing reads, which can be compromised by the apparent loss of s4U-labeled reads in a process we refer to as dropout. Here we show that s4U-containing transcripts can be selectively lost when RNA samples are handled under sub-optimal conditions, but that this loss can be minimized using an optimized protocol. We demonstrate a second cause of dropout in nucleotiderecoding and RNA sequencing (NR-seq) experiments that is computational and downstream of library preparation. NR-seq experiments involve chemically converting s4U from a uridine analog to a cytidine analog and the apparent T-to-C mutations are then used to identify the populations of newly synthesized RNA. We show that high levels of T-to-C mutations can prevent read alignment with some computational pipelines, but that this bias can be overcome using improved alignment pipelines. Importantly, kinetic parameter estimates are affected by dropout independent of the NR chemistry employed, and all chemistries are practically indistinguishable in bulk, short-read RNA-seq experiments. Dropout is an avoidable problem that can be identified by including unlabeled controls, and mitigated through improved sample handing and read alignment that together improve the robustness and reproducibiltiy of NR-seq experiments.

Determination of transcript's polyA tail length in Wild-Type and Mov10 KO mouse ESCs.

Project description:The RNA helicase MOV10 targets mRNAs to promote their decay. MOV10 can directly bind to N6-methyladenosine (m6A) nucleotides, the most prevalent type of mRNA internal modification in mammals. Here we investigate the mechanism by which MOV10 promotes decay by looking at changes in the polyA tail of its targets. PolyA tail length shortening is usually associated with transcript decay. However, we did not observe changes in the polyA profile for MOV10 targets in MOV10-depleted and Wild-Type controls. The observation was true for targeted transcripts containing the m6A modification and for targeted transcripts without the modification. We conclude that MOV10-mediated decay does not perturb the polyA tail dynamics of its targets in ESCs.

Dynamically regulated transcription factors are encoded by highly unstable mRNAs in the Drosophila larval brain

Project description:The level of each RNA species depends on the balance between its rates of production and decay. Although previous studies have measured RNA decay across the genome in tissue culture and single-celled organisms, few experiments have been performed in intact complex tissues and organs. It is therefore unclear whether the determinants of RNA decay found in cultured cells are preserved in an intact tissue, and whether they differ between neighboring cell types and are regulated during development. To address these questions, we measured RNA synthesis and decay rates genome wide via metabolic labelling of whole cultured Drosophila larval brains using 4-thiouridine. Our analysis revealed that decay rates span a range of more than 100-fold, and that RNA stability is linked to gene function, with mRNAs encoding transcription factors being much less stable than mRNAs involved in core metabolic functions. Surprisingly, among transcription factor mRNAs there was a clear demarcation between more widely used transcription factors and those that are expressed only transiently during development. mRNAs encoding transient transcription factors are among the least stable in the brain. These mRNAs are characterized by epigenetic silencing in most cell types, as shown by their enrichment with the histone modification H3K27me3. Our data suggests the presence of an mRNA destabilizing mechanism targeted to these transiently expressed transcription factors, which would allow their levels to be regulated rapidly with high precision. Our study establishes a general method for measuring mRNA transcription and decay rates in intact organs or tissues, offering insights into the role of mRNA stability in the regulation of complex developmental programs.

The contribution of RNA decay quantitative trait loci to inter-individual variation in steady-state gene expression levels

Project description:Analysis of the extent to which inter-individual variation in mRNA decay contributes to inter-individual variation in gene expression levels in humans. The study examines properties of genome-wide decay rates and the relationship between mRNA decay and gene expression across genes, across individuals, and finally across genotype classes. 70 human lymphoblastoid cell lines were treated with Actinomycin D to arrest transcription. Transcript abundance was measured at 5 timepoints: before transcription (0 hours) and after transcription (0.5 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours). Data was then used to estimate gene-specific decay rates genome-wide.

Comprehensive Analysis of Nucleocytoplasmic Dynamics of mRNA in Drosophila cells

Project description:Eukaryotic mRNAs undergo a cycle of transcription, nuclear export, and degradation. A major challenge is to obtain a global, quantitative view of these processes. Here we measured the genome-wide nucleocytoplasmic dynamics of mRNA in Drosophila cells by metabolic labeling in combination with cellular fractionation. By mathematical modeling of these data we determined rates of transcription, export and cytoplasmic decay for >5,000 genes. We characterized these kinetic rates and investigated links with mRNA features, RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and chromatin states. We found prominent correlations between mRNA decay rate and transcript size, while nuclear export rates are linked to the size of the 3'UTR. Transcription, export and decay rates are each associated with distinct spectra of RBPs. Specific classes of genes, such as those encoding cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins, exhibit characteristic combinations of rate constants, suggesting modular control. Overall, transcription and decay rates have a major impact on transcript abundance, while nuclear export is of minor importance. Finally, correlations between rate constants suggest global coordination between the three processes. Our approach should be generally applicable to other cell systems and provides insights into the genome-wide nucleocytoplasmic kinetics of mRNA.
