Global analyses of the dynamics of miRNA metabolism

ABSTRACT: Rates of production and degradation together specify microRNA (miRNA) abundance and dynamics. Here, we used approach-to-steady-state metabolic labeling to assess these rates for 176 miRNAs in contact-inhibited mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), 182 miRNAs in dividing MEFs, and 127 miRNAs in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). MicroRNA duplexes, each comprising a mature miRNA and its passenger strand, are produced at rates as fast as 110 ± 50 copies/cell per min, which exceeds rates reported for any mRNAs. These duplexes are rapidly loaded into Argonaute, with < 10 min typically required for duplex loading and silencing-complex maturation. Within Argonaute, guide strands have stabilities that vary by 100-fold. Half-lives also vary globally between cell lines, with median values ranging from 11 to 34 h in mESCs and contact-inhibited MEFs, respectively. Moreover, relative half-lives for individual miRNAs vary between cell types, implying the influence of cell-specific factors in dictating turnover rate. The apparent influence of miRNA regions most important for targeting, together with the effect of one target on miR-7 accumulation, suggest that targets fulfill this role. Analysis of the tailing and trimming of miRNA 3 termini showed that the flux was typically greatest through the isoform tailed with a single uridine, although changes in this flux did not correspond to changes in stability, which suggested that the processes of tailing and trimming might be independent from that of decay. Together these results establish a framework for describing the dynamics and regulation of miRNAs throughout their lifecycle.

Insights into function and regulation of microRNAs by decoding degradation dynamics [4SU]

Project description:The regulation of the miRNA pool is one of the critical events in the definition of cell identity and behavior both in steady-state condition as well during cell transitions. While mechanisms controlling biogenesis have received much attention, little is known about how miRNA are turned over, due to the lack of proper approaches to analyze miRNA decay without globally perturbing gene transcription or miRNA biogenesis. To overcome such limitations we developed a “pulse-chase” approach for the analysis of miRNA degradation dynamics at genome-wide scale in unperturbed mammalian cells. MiRNA half-lives appeared heterogeneous: while many species were very stable (T1/2 >24h, ‘slow’ miRNAs), some others are quickly turned over (T1/2 =4-14h ‘fast’ miRNAs). ‘Fast’ species comprises passenger miRNAs, as expected, and a consistent number (25/129) of guide miRNAs. These miRNAs are associated to high Target:miRNA stoichiometric ratios, particularly evident considering targets with extensive complementarity, and are enriched for 3’-end modifications (tailing and trimming), implying that target abundance and enzymatic activities are in place and mediates miRNA degradation. By integrating decay rates with biosynthetic parameters, we could model the abundance and regulation of miRNAs as a function of transcription and degradation rates and highlight how different decays could affect the magnitude and the kinetics of miRNA regulation. These findings were recapitulated in a specific biological process, namely the regulation of miRNAs by serum stimulation of quiescent fibroblast, pointing out how multiple regulatory mechanisms (synthesis, decay, target abundance and miRNA modification) concomitantly control miRNA functions.

A ubiquitin ligase mediates target-directed microRNA decay independently of tailing and trimming [TDMD]

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) act in concert with Argonaute (AGO) proteins to broadly repress mRNA targets. After AGO loading, miRNAs generally exhibit slow turnover. An important exception occurs when miRNAs encounter targets with extensive complementarity, which can trigger a process termed target-directed microRNA degradation (TDMD). Prevailing models of TDMD invoke miRNA tailing and trimming as an essential step in the decay mechanism. Here, a genome-wide screen revealed a novel cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase, which we named the DECAY complex, that mediates TDMD. The DECAY complex interacts with AGO proteins, mediates TDMD induced by multiple transcripts, and does not require tailing and trimming to elicit miRNA turnover. Based upon these findings, we propose a model in which the DECAY complex mediates TDMD by promoting proteasomal decay of miRNA-containing complexes.

Degradation of unmethylated miRNA/miRNA*s by a DEDDy-type 3’ to 5’ exoribonuclease ATRIMMER2 in Arabidopsis

Project description:3’ end methylation catalyzed by HUA ENHANCER1 (HEN1) is a crucial step of small RNA stabilization in plants, yet how unmethylated small RNAs undergo degradation remains largely unknown. Using a reverse genetic approach, we here show that ATRIMMER2 (ATRM2), a DEDDy-type 3’ to 5’ exoribonuclease, acts in the degradation of unmethylated miRNAs and miRNA*s in Arabidopsis. A loss-of-function mutations in ATRM2 partially suppress the morphological defects caused by HEN1 malfunction, with restored levels of a subset of miRNAs and receded expression of corresponding miRNA targets. Loss of ATRM2 has negligible effect on miRNA trimming, and further increase the fertility of hen1 heso1 urt1, a mutant with an almost complete abolishment of miRNA uridylation, indicating that ATRM2 may neither be involved in 3’ to 5’ trimming nor be the enzyme that specifically degrades uridylated miRNAs. Notably, the fold changes of miRNAs and their corresponding miRNA*s were significantly co-regulated in hen1 atrm2 as compared with those in hen1. Unexpectedly, we also observed a markedly increase of 3’ to 5’ trimming of several miRNA*s but not miRNAs in ATRM2 compromised backgrounds. These data suggest an action of ATRM2 on miRNA/miRNA* duplexes, and the existence of an unknown exoribonuclease for specific trimming of miRNA*. This asymmetric effect on miRNA/miRNA* is likely related to ARGONAUTE (AGO) proteins, which can distinguish miRNAs from miRNA*s. Finally, we show that ATRM2 colocalizes and physically interacts with ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1). Taken together, our results suggest that ATRM2 may be involved in the surveillance of unmethylated miRNA/miRNA* duplexes during the initiation step of RISC assembly.

AAV vector-mediated in vivo miRNA antagonism for studying miRNA function and treating dyslipidemia

Project description:Understanding the function of individual miRNA species in mice would require the production of hundreds of loss-of-function strains. To accelerate analysis of miRNA biology in mammals, we combined recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors with miRNA ‘Tough Decoys’ (TuDs) to inhibit specific miRNAs. Intravenous injection of rAAV9 expressing anti-miR-122 or anti-let-7 TuD depleted the corresponding miRNA and increased its mRNA targets. rAAV producing anti-miR-122—but not anti-let-7—TuD reduced serum cholesterol by 40% for 18 weeks in wild-type mice and reduced serum LDL by 50% in LDL receptor-deficient mice. High throughput sequencing of liver miRNAs from the treated mice confirmed that the targeted miRNA, but no other miRNAs, were depleted and revealed that TuD RNAs induce miRNA tailing and trimming in vivo. rAAV-mediated miRNA inhibition thus provides a simple way to study miRNA function in adult mammals and a potential therapy for dyslipidemia and other diseases caused by miRNA deregulation.

Screening by deep sequencing reveals mediators of microRNA tailing in C. elegans

Project description:microRNAs are frequently modified by addition of untemplated nucleotides to the 3' end, but the role of this tailing is often unclear. Here we characterize the prevalence and functional consequences of microRNA tailing in vivo, using Caenorhabditis elegans. MicroRNA tailing in C. elegans consists mostly of mono-uridylation of mature microRNA species, with rarer mono-adenylation which is likely added to microRNA precursors. Through a targeted RNAi screen, we discover that the TUT4/TUT7 gene family member CID-1/CDE-1/PUP-1 is required for uridylation, whereas the GLD2 gene family member F31C3.2-here named GLD-2-related 2 (GLDR-2)-is required for adenylation. Thus, the TUT4/TUT7 and GLD2 gene families have broadly conserved roles in miRNA modification. We specifically examine the role of tailing in microRNA turnover. We determine half-lives of microRNAs after acute inactivation of microRNA biogenesis, revealing that half-lives are generally long (median = 20.7 h), as observed in other systems. Although we observe that the proportion of tailed species increases over time after biogenesis, disrupting tailing does not alter microRNA decay. Thus, tailing is not a global regulator of decay in C. elegans. Nonetheless, by identifying the responsible enzymes, this study lays the groundwork to explore whether tailing plays more specialized context- or miRNA-specific regulatory roles.
