Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 interrogation of splicing networks reveals a mechanism for recognition of autism-misregulated neuronal microexons [CLIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Alternative splicing has critical roles in diverse cellular, developmental and pathological processes. However, the full repertoires of factors that control individual splicing events are not known. We describe a CRISPR-based screening strategy for the systematic identification of genes that control 3-27 nt microexons with functions in nervous system development and that are commonly disrupted in autism. Besides known regulators including nSR100/Srrm4, Rbfox and Ptbp1, approximately 200 additional genes impact microexon splicing. These genes are enriched in genetic links to autism. Two of the screen hits, Srsf11 and Rnps1, preferentially regulate Srrm4-dependent microexons relative to other exons. These factors form mutually stabilizing interactions with Srrm4 that bridge upstream intronic enhancer elements and exonic sequences to activate microexon splicing. Our study thus presents a system for the genome-wide definition of splicing regulatory networks and further reveals a mechanism for the recognition of microexons with critical roles in nervous system development and disorders.

Essential roles for the splicing regulator nSR100/SRRM4 during nervous system development

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) generates vast transcriptomic complexity in the vertebrate nervous system. However, the extent to which trans-acting splicing regulators and their target AS regulatory networks contribute to nervous system development is not completely understood. To address these questions, we have generated mice lacking the vertebrate- and neural-specific Ser/Arg-repeat related protein of 100 kDa (nSR100/SRRM4). Loss of nSR100 impairs development of the central and peripheral nervous systems, in part by disrupting neurite outgrowth, cortical layering in the forebrain, and axon guidance in the corpus callosum. Accompanying these developmental defects are widespread changes in AS that primarily result in shifts to non-neural patterns for different classes of splicing events. The main component of the altered AS program comprises 3-27 nucleotide neural microexons, an emerging class of highly conserved alternative splicing event associated with the regulation of protein interaction networks in developing neurons and neurological disorders. Remarkably, inclusion of a 6-nucleotide nSR100-activated microexon in Unc13b transcripts is sufficient to rescue a neuritogenesis defect in nSR100 mutant primary neurons. These results thus reveal critical in vivo neurodevelopmental functions of nSR100, and they further link these functions to a conserved program of neural microexon splicing. mRNA profiles of mouse control or nSR100/Srrm4 KO cortex or hippocampus using high-throughput sequencing data.

RNA-seq of autistic and control cortex

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to assess the status of splicing changes in microexons in the cortex of individuals with autism. Methods: We performed RiboZero Gold (rRNA depleted) 50bp PE RNA-seq in a larger set of case and control samples to define 12 autism and 12 control samples showing the greatest global differential gene expression change. These samples, which show differential expression of the splicing regulator SRRM4, were used to evaluate global splicing changes. Results: Within these samples, 126 of 504 (30%) detected alternative microexons display a mean ?PSI > 10 between ASD and control subjects of which 113 (90%) also display neural-differential regulation. By contrast, only 825 of 15,405 (5.4%) longer (i.e. >27 nt) exons show such misregulation, of which 285 (35%) correspond to neural-regulated exons. Notably, we also observe significantly higher correlations between microexon inclusion and nSR100 mRNA expression levels across the stratified ASD samples and controls, for those microexons regulated by nSR100 relative to those microexons that are not regulated by this factor (p=1.4×10-7, Wilcoxon Sum Rank test). Conclusions: These data suggest microexon regulation is a potentially important mechanism underlying ASD and likely other neurodevelopmental disorders 12 case samples representing a more extreme autism gene expression signature and 12 representative controls; raw data have been submitted to dbGaP

Origin and evolution of neural microexons

Project description:The mechanisms by which entire programs of gene regulation emerged during evolution are poorly understood. Neuronal microexons represent the most conserved class of alternative splicing in vertebrates and are critical for proper brain development and function. Here, we discover neural microexon programs in non-vertebrate species and trace their origin to bilaterian ancestors through the emergence of a previously uncharacterized ‘enhancer of microexons' (eMIC) protein domain. The eMIC domain originated as an alternative, neural-enriched splice isoform of the pan-eukaryotic Srrm2/SRm300 splicing factor gene, and subsequently became fixed in the vertebrate and neuronal-specific splicing regulator Srrm4/nSR100 and its paralog Srrm3. Remarkably, the eMIC domain is necessary and sufficient for microexon splicing, and functions by interacting with the earliest components required for exon recognition. The emergence of a novel domain with restricted expression in the nervous system thus resulted in the evolution of splicing programs that contributed to qualitatively expand neuronal molecular complexity in bilaterians.

Misregulation of an activity-dependent splicing network as a common mechanism underlying autism spectrum disorders

Project description:A key challenge in understanding and ultimately treating autism is to identify common molecular mechanisms underlying this genetically heterogeneous disorder. Transcriptomic profiling of autistic brains has revealed correlated misregulation of the neuronal splicing regulator nSR100/SRRM4 and its target microexon splicing program in more than one-third of analyzed individuals. To investigate whether nSR100 misregulation is causally linked to autism, we generated mutant mice with reduced levels of this protein and its target splicing program. Remarkably, these mice display multiple hallmark features of autism, including altered social behaviors, synaptic density and signaling. Moreover, increased neuronal activity, which is often associated with autism, results in a rapid decrease in nSR100 and splicing of microexons that significantly overlap those misregulated in autistic brains. Collectively, our results provide evidence that misregulation of an nSR100-dependent splicing network controlled by changes in neuronal activity is causally linked to a substantial fraction of autism cases.

Conserved role for spliceosomal component PRPF40A in microexon splicing

Project description:Microexons (exons ≤30 nts) are important features of neuronal transcriptomes, but pose mechanistic challenges to the splicing machinery. We previously showed that PRP-40, a component of the U1 spliceosome, is globally required for microexon splicing in C. elegans. Here we show that the homologous PRPF40A is also globally required for microexon splicing in mouse neuroblastoma cells. We find that PRPF40A co-regulates microexons along with SRRM4, a neuron-specific regulator of microexon splicing. The relationship between exon size and dependence on PRPF40A/SRRM4 is distinct, with SRRM4-dependence exhibiting a size threshold (~30 nts) and PRPF40A-dependence exhibiting a graded decrease as exon size increases. Finally, we show that PRPF40A knockdown causes an increase in productive splicing of its spliceosomal binding partner Luc7l by skipping of a small “poison exon.” Similar homeostatic cross-regulation is often observed across paralogous RNA binding proteins. Here we find this concept likewise applies across evolutionarily unrelated but functionally and physically coupled spliceosomal components.
