Project description:Mutations in the poly(A) ribonuclease (PARN) gene cause telomere diseases including familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and dyskeratosis congenita (DC)1,2, but how PARN deficiency impacts telomere maintenance is unclear. Here, using somatic cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from DC patients with PARN mutations, we show that PARN is required for the 3′ end maturation of the telomerase RNA component (TERC). Patient cells as well as immortalized cells in which PARN is disrupted show decreased levels of TERC. Deep sequencing of TERC RNA 3′ termini reveals that PARN is required for removal of posttranscriptionally acquired oligo(A) tails that target nuclear RNAs for degradation. Diminished TERC levels and the increased oligo(A) forms of TERC are normalized by restoring PARN, which is limiting for TERC maturation in cells. Our results reveal a novel role for PARN in the biogenesis of TERC, and provide a mechanism linking PARN mutations to telomere diseases.

Project description:The 3' ends of metazoan microRNAs (miRNAs) are initially defined by the RNase III enzymes during maturation, but subsequently experience extensive modifications by several enzymatic activities. For example, terminal nucleotidyltransferases (TENTs) elongate miRNAs by adding one or a few nucleotides to their 3' ends, which occasionally leads to differential regulation of miRNA stability or function. However, the catalytic entities that shorten miRNAs and the molecular consequences of such shortening are less well understood, especially in vertebrates. Here, we report that poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) sculpts the 3' ends of miRNAs in human cells. By generating PARN knockout cells and characterizing their miRNAome, we demonstrate that PARN digests the 3' extensions of miRNAs that are derived from the genome or attached by TENTs, thereby effectively reducing the length of miRNAs. Surprisingly, PARN-mediated shortening has little impact on miRNA stability, suggesting that this process likely operates to finalize miRNA maturation, rather than to initiate miRNA decay. PARN-mediated shortening is pervasive across most miRNAs and appears to be a conserved mechanism contributing to the 3' end formation of vertebrate miRNAs. Our findings add miRNAs to the expanding list of noncoding RNAs whose 3' end formation depends on PARN.

Project description:The modification of histones by acetyl groups has a key role in the regulation of chromatin structure and transcription. The Arabidopsis thaliana histone acetyltransferase GCN5 regulates histone modifications as part of the Spt-Ada-Gcn5 Acetyltransferase (SAGA) transcriptional coactivator complex. GCN5 was previously shown to acetylate lysine 14 of histone 3 (H3K14ac) in the promoter regions of its target genes; however, its binding did not systematically correlate with gene activation and the mechanism by which GCN5 controls transcription thus remained unclear. To gain insight into GCN5 function, we fine-mapped its genome-wide binding sites and explored the effect of GCN5 loss-of-function on the expression of its target genes, finding that GCN5 has a dual role in the regulation of H3K14ac levels in their 5ʹ and 3ʹ ends. We found that the gcn5 mutation leads to a genome-wide reduction of H3K14ac in the 5ʹ end of some of the GCN5 targets, a phenomenon associated to their down-regulated in the gcn5 mutant. By contrast, an increase of H3K14ac in the 3ʹ end was observed in GCN5 targets that are up-regulated in the gcn5 mutant, indicating that this protein plays a dual role in the control of H3K14ac levels and in the regulation of transcription. Furthermore, changes in H3K14ac levels in the gcn5 mutant correlated with changes in H3K9ac in a genome-wide fashion at both 5ʹ and 3ʹ ends, providing evidence for a molecular link between the deposition of these two histone modifications. Finally, we show that GCN5 participates in responses to biotic stress by repressing salicylic acid (SA) accumulation and SA-mediated immunity, highlighting the role of this protein in the regulation of the crosstalk between diverse developmental and stress-responsive physiological programs.

Project description:We sought to determine the effect of TbPARN-1 overexpression on global mRNA steady-state levels in T. brucei. The mRNA expression profile of tet-induced TbPARN-1 OvEx procyclic cells was compared to the mRNA profile of control cells (expressing tet-induced TAP tag alone) by microarray analysis. Since overexpression of TbPARN-1 showed increased deadenylation activity in cytoplasmic extracts, overexpressing PARN-1 in vivo should result in more rapid deadenylation and decay of mRNAs targeted by PARN-1. Thus, mRNAs with lower steady state levels in PARN-1 OvEx cells can be considered likely targets for PARN-1-dependent deadenylation.

Thus, mRNAs with lower steady state levels in PARN-1 OvEx cells can be considered likely targets for PARN-1-dependent deadenylation. Three different clones of the PARN-1 OvEx and Control cell lines were used for analysis. Each experiment was run in duplicate, with the dye-labeling reversed between duplicates. The T. brucei version 3 microarray chip (PFGRC) was used for this experiment. Each gene on the microarray was represented in duplicate, so for each experiment, mRNA levels were obtained from both points and averaged. As a control between arrays, we used a control probe set obtained from PFGRC. "The probe set consists of Cy3 and Cy5 end labeled 40-mer probes that are complementary to a set of 500 Arabidopsis thaliana 70-mer targets on PFGRC DNA microarrays. The UMSS is supplied as a ready to use mix of the Cy3 and Cy5 labeled oligonucleotides. A small aliquot is spiked into Cy-dye labeled nucleic acid samples just prior to hybridization on PFGRC microarrays. The UMSS produces a set of reference fluorescent signal intensities and ratios that are generated independent of the user-specific experimental samples. Since PFGRC intentionally targeted a heavy representation of Cy3 and Cy5 signals in the mid-range of detection, the Cy3 and Cy5 signal intensities and ratios generated by the UMSS should be highly reproducible. These signals serve as a reference point to judge the success of microarray experiments, and troubleshoot potential problems."

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are typically generated as ~22-nucleotide double-stranded RNAs via the processing of precursor hairpins by the ribonuclease III enzyme Dicer, after which they are loaded into Argonaute (Ago) proteins to form an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). However, the biogenesis of miR-451, an erythropoietic miRNA conserved in vertebrates, occurs independently of Dicer and instead requires cleavage of the 3' arm of the pre-miR-451 precursor hairpin by Ago2. The 3' end of the Ago2-cleaved pre-miR-451 intermediate is then trimmed to the mature length by an unknown nuclease. Here, using a classical chromatographic approach, we identified poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) as the enzyme responsible for the 3'-5' exonucleolytic trimming of Ago2-cleaved pre-miR-451. Surprisingly, our data show that trimming of Ago2-cleaved precursor miRNAs is not essential for target silencing, indicating that RISC is functional with miRNAs longer than the mature length. Our findings define the maturation step in the miRNA biogenesis pathway that depends on Ago2-mediated cleavage.

Project description:An embryo starts its life with maternal mRNA clearance, which is crucial for embryonic development. The elimination of maternal transcripts occurs by the joint action of two pathways: the first is a maternally encoded mRNA decay pathway (M-decay), while the second is zygotic genome activation (ZGA)-dependent pathway (Z-decay). However, the zygotic factors triggering maternal mRNA decay in early mammalian embryos remain largely unknown. In this study, we identify the zygotically encoded nuclear poly(A) binding protein 1 (PABPN1) as a factor required for maternal mRNA turnover, with an unpredictable cytoplasmic function. Cytoplasmic PABPN1 docks on 3ʹ-uridylated transcripts, downstream of terminal uridylyl transferases TUT4 and TUT7, and recruits 3ʹ-5ʹ exoribonuclease DIS3L2 to its targets, facilitating the decay of maternal mRNA. Pabpn1-knockout in mice resulted in preimplantation-stage mortality, due to early developmental arrest at the morula stage. This study characterizes the presence of a zygotic destabilizer of maternal mRNA and helps in elucidating the Z-decay process mechanisms, which potentially contribute to human fertility.
