Nuclear Ccr4-Not mediates the degradation of telomeric and transposon transcripts at chromatin in the Drosophila germline

ABSTRACT: Ccr4-Not is a highly conserved complex involved in cotranscriptional RNA surveillance pathways in yeast. In Drosophila, Ccr4-Not is linked to the translational repression of miRNA targets and the posttranscriptional control of maternal mRNAs during oogenesis and embryonic development. Here, we describe a new role for the Ccr4-Not complex in nuclear RNA metabolism in the Drosophila germline. Ccr4 depletion results in the accumulation of transposable and telomeric repeat transcripts in the fraction of chromatin-associated RNA; however, it does not affect small RNA levels or the heterochromatin state of the target loci. Nuclear targets of Ccr4 mainly comprise active full-length transposable elements (TEs) and telomeric and subtelomeric repeats. Moreover, Ccr4-Not foci localize at telomeres in a Piwi-dependent manner, suggesting a functional relationship between these pathways. Indeed, we detected interactions between the components of the Ccr4-Not complex and piRNA machinery, which indicates that these pathways cooperate in the nucleus to recognize and degrade TE transcripts at transcription sites. These data reveal a new layer of transposon control in the germline, which is critical for the maintenance of genome integrity.

Regulation of the Drosophila transcriptome by Pumilio and CCR4-NOT deadenylase

Project description:The sequence-specific RNA-binding protein Pumilio controls development of Drosophila; however, the network of mRNAs that it regulates remains incompletely characterized. In this study, we utilize knockdown and knockout approaches coupled with RNA-Seq to measure the impact of Pumilio on the transcriptome of Drosophila cells. We also used an improved RNA co-immunoprecipitation method to identify Pumilio bound mRNAs in Drosophila embryos. Integration of these datasets with the content of Pumilio binding motifs across the transcriptome revealed novel direct Pumilio target genes involved in neural, muscle, wing, and germ cell development, and cellular proliferation. These genes include components of Wnt, TGF-beta, MAPK/ERK, and Notch signaling pathways, DNA replication, and lipid metabolism. Additionally, we identified the mRNAs regulated by the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex, a key factor in Pumilio-mediated repression, and observed concordant regulation of Pumilio:CCR4-NOT target mRNAs. Computational modeling revealed that Pumilio binding site location, number, density, and context are important determinants of regulation. Moreover, the content of optimal synonymous codons exhibits a striking functional relationship to Pumilio and CCR4-NOT regulation, indicating that the inherent translation efficiency and stability of the mRNA modulates their response to these trans-acting regulatory factors. Together, the results of this work provide new insights into the Pumilio regulatory network and mechanisms, and the parameters that influence the efficacy of Pumilio-mediated regulation.

The CCR4-Not complex is a tumor suppressor in Drosophila melanogaster eye cancer models

Project description:The CNOT3 protein is a subunit of the CCR4-Not complex, a cytoplasmic protein complex mediating mRNA deadenylation as the first step in mRNA degradation. We recently identified CNOT3 loss-of-function mutations in patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). However, it is not clear yet how loss of this gene is involved in cancer development. Here we use different Drosophila melanogaster eye cancer models to study the potential tumor suppressor function of Not3, the CNOT3 orthologue, as well as other members of the CCR4-NOT complex. We show that not only Not3 but also the structural components Not1 and Not2, as well as the deadenylases Twin and Pop2 all behave as tumor suppressor genes. Moreover, RNA-sequencing analyses revealed that Not3 loss leads to increased expression levels of genes involved in DNA replication and ribosome biogenesis pathways, and that CycB is a Not3 target gene in our cancer models. Furthermore, we were able to confirm those results on human T-ALL cell lines, pointing out the conserved function of Not3 in both model systems and in tumor development. Together, our data establish a critical role for Not3 and the entire CCR4-NOT complex as a tumor suppressor.

The Ccr4-Not complex regulates TORC1 signaling and mitochondrial metabolism by promoting vacuole V-ATPase activity

Project description:The Ccr4-Not complex is an effector of multiple signaling pathways controlling gene transcription and mRNA turnover. Herein, we provide evidence that Ccr4-Not also activates nutrient signaling through the essential target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) pathway. Mechanistically, Ccr4-Not loss decreases TORC1 signaling due to reduced stability of the vacuole V-ATPase that is required to activate TORC1 when associated with the Gtr1 GTPase containing EGO complex. Expressing a constitutively active Gtr1 in Ccr4-Not deficient cells bypasses the requirement for the V-ATPase and restores TORC1 signaling. Transcriptome analysis reveals that Ccr4-Not loss activates TORC1 repressed retrograde signaling to remodel metabolism and enhance mitochondrial function. Blocking retrograde signaling in a Ccr4-Not mutant further reduces TORC1 signaling, thus suggesting the enhanced mitochondrial metabolism due to Ccr4-Not loss is a metabolic adaptive response required to sustain TORC1 activity. Therefore, Ccr4-Not is a critical activator of TORC1 signaling that regulates cellular metabolism.

RNA quality control by CCR4 safeguards chromatin integrity and centromere function in Arabidopsis [EM-seq]

Project description:The centromere is a pivotal chromatin domain that ensures accurate chromosome segregation during cell division. However, the epigenome regulation of the centromere and its impact on centromere function remain largely elusive. Here in the model plant Arabidopsis, we show that CCR4, the catalytic subunit of the RNA deadenylation complex CCR4-NOT, is essential for maintenance of the centromere epigenome and chromosome integrity. We demonstrate that CCR4 is involved in shortening of the poly(A) tails of transcripts originated from centromeric transposons and repeats, thereby promoting the production of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). The CCR4-dependent siRNAs guide non-CG DNA methylation at centromere repeats, and CCR4 cooperates with canonical DNA methylation pathways to enhance centromeric H3K9 methylation and ensure mitotic chromosome stability. Our study illustrates the crucial role of RNA quality control in RNA interference and reveals the elaborate mechanism that safeguards plant centromeres through epigenomic regulation.

Genome-wide mapping of decay factor-mRNA interactions in yeast identifies nutrient responsive transcripts as targets of the deadenylase Ccr4

Project description:The Ccr4-Not complex is a major regulator of stress responses that controls gene expression at multiple levels, from transcription to mRNA decay. Ccr4, a core subunit of the complex, is the main cytoplasmic deadenylase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, however its mRNA targets have not been mapped on a genome-wide scale. Here we describe a genome-wide approach, RNA immunoprecipitation-high throughput sequencing (RIP-seq), to identify the RNAs bound to Ccr4, and two proteins that associate with it, Dhh1 and Puf5. All three proteins were preferentially bound to lowly abundant mRNAs, most often at the 3’ end of the transcript. Furthermore, Ccr4, Dhh1 and Puf5 are recruited to mRNAs that are targeted by other RNA-binding proteins that promote decay, mRNA transport and inhibit translation. Although Ccr4-Not regulates mRNA transcription and decay, Ccr4 recruitment to mRNAs correlates better with decay rates, suggesting it imparts greater control over transcript abundance through decay. Ccr4-enriched mRNAs are refractory to control by the other deadenylase complex in yeast, Pan2/3, suggesting a division of labor between these deadenylation complexes. Finally, Ccr4 and Dhh1 associate with mRNAs whose abundance increases during nutrient starvation and those that fluctuate during metabolic and oxygen consumption cycles, which explains the known genetic connections between these factors and nutrient utilization and stress pathways.
