Project description:Plant microRNAs (miRNAs) associate with ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) to direct post-transcriptional gene silencing and regulate numerous biological processes. Although AGO1 predominantly binds miRNAs in vivo, AGO1 also associates with endogenous small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). It is unclear whether the miRNA/siRNA balance affects miRNA activities. Here we report that FIERY1 (FRY1), which is involved in 5’-3’ RNA degradation, regulates miRNA abundance and function by suppressing the biogenesis of ribosomal RNA-derived siRNAs (risiRNAs). In mutants of FRY1 and the nuclear 5’-3’ exonuclease genes XRN2 and XRN3, we found that a large number of 21-nt risiRNAs were generated through an endogenous siRNA biogenesis pathway. The production of risiRNAs correlated with pre-rRNA processing defects in these mutants. We also show that these risiRNAs were loaded into AGO1, causing reduced loading of miRNAs. This study reveals a previously unknown link between rRNA processing and miRNA accumulation.

Project description:In Arabidopsis thaliana, ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1) plays a central role in microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated silencing. Nuclear AGO1 is loaded with miRNAs and exported to the cytosol where it associates to the rough ER to conduct miRNA-mediated translational repression, mRNA cleavage and biogenesis of phased siRNAs. These latter, as well as other cytosolic siRNAs, are loaded into cytosolic AGO1, but in which compartment this happens is not known. Moreover, the effect of stress on AGO1 localization is still unclear. Here, we show that heat stress (HS) promotes AGO1 protein accumulation, which co-localize with components of the siRNA bodies and of stress granules (SGs). AGO1 does not need SGS3, a key component of siRNA bodies, to efficiently form condensates during HS. Instead, we found that the still poorly characterized N-terminal Poly-Q domain of AGO1, which contains a prion-like domain, is sufficient to undergo phase separation. Moreover, an exposure of 1 hour to HS only moderately affected AGO1 loading by miRNAs and target cleavage, suggesting that its localization in condensates protects AGO1 rather than promote its activity in reprograming gene expressing during stress. Collectively, our work shed new light on the impact of high temperature on a main effector of RNA silencing in plants.

Project description:The biogenesis of rRNA drives cell growth and proliferation, but mechanisms that modulate rRNA production remain poorly understood. We have conducted a genetic screen to look for factors that negatively regulate endo-siRNA generation in C. elegans, and identified the suppressor of siRNA (susi)-1and a new class of triphosphorylated antisense ribosomal siRNAs (risiRNAs). In susi-1 mutant, we observed an accumulation of siRNA sequences complementary to 18S and 26S rRNAs. risiRNAs are similar to 22G-RNA, as they are 22 nt in length and have a triphosphorylated guanidine at their 5'-end. The generation of risiRNAs depends on RNA-dependent RNA polymerases, but not the ERI/Dicer complex. risiRNAs act through the nuclear RNAi pathway and guide the Argonaute protein NRDE-3 to the nucleoli, which leads to a downregulation of pre-rRNA expression. Interestingly, low temperature and ultraviolet irradiation also induces the accumulation of risiRNA, suggesting potential regulatory functions. Cloned SUSI-1 shows homology to Dis3-like exonuclease 2 (Dis3L2) in other organisms, a gene identified as a key exonuclease involved in the 3' to 5' degradation of oligouridylated RNAs. We observed an accumulation of 3'-tail oligouridylated 26S rRNA in susi-1 mutant and in low temperature-treated animals. Consistently, the injection of 3'-tail oligouridylated 26S rRNA elicited a nuclear accumulation of NRDE-3. Our findings thus establish SUSI-1(ceDis3L2) as a suppressor of endo-siRNA generation, identify a novel class of risiRNAs that suppress pre-rRNA expression, and suggest a potential disease mechanism.

Project description:Ribosome biogenesis is a multi-step process, during which mistakes could take place at any step of pre-rRNA processing, modification, and assembly of ribosomes. Misprocessed rRNAs are usually detected and degraded by surveillance machineries. Recently, we identified a class of antisense ribosomal siRNAs (risiRNAs) that downregulate pre-rRNAs through the nuclear RNAi pathway. To further understand the biological roles of risiRNA, we conducted both forward and reverse genetic screenings to search for more susi mutants. We isolated a number of genes that are broadly conserved from yeast to humans and are involved in pre-rRNA modification and processing. Among them, SUSI-2(ceRRP8) is homologous to human RRP8 and engages in m1A methylation of 26S rRNA. C27F2.4(ceBUD23) is a m7G methyltransferase of 18S rRNA. E02H1.1(ceDIMT1L) is a predicted m6(2)Am6(2)A methyltransferase of 18S rRNA . Mutation of these genes led to modification deficiency of rRNAs and elicited accumulation of risiRNAs, which further triggered the cytoplasm to nuclear and nucleolar translocation of an Argonaute protein NRDE-3. The processing deficiency of rRNAs resulted in the accumulation of risiRNAs as well. We isolated SUSI-3(RIOK-1) which is similar to human RIOK1 that cleaves 20S to 18S rRNA. We further utilized RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9 technologies to perform candidate-based reverse genetic screening and identified additional pre-rRNA processing factors that suppressed risiRNA production. Therefore, we concluded that erroneous rRNAs can trigger risiRNA generation and subsequently turn on the nuclear RNAi-mediated gene silencing pathway to inhibit pre-rRNA expression, which may provide a quality control mechanism to maintain the homeostasis of rRNAs.

Project description:Ribosome biogenesis is essential for protein synthesis in gene expression. Yeast eIF5B has been shown biochemically to facilitate 18S rRNA 3’ end maturation during late-40S ribosomal subunit assembly and gate the transition from translation initiation to elongation. But the effects of eIF5B have not been studied at the genome-wide level in any organism, and 18S rRNA 3’ end maturation is poorly understood in plants. Arabidopsis HOT3/eIF5B1 was found to promote development and heat-stress acclimation by translational regulation, but its molecular function remained unknown. Here, we show that HOT3 is a late-stage ribosome biogenesis factor that facilitates 18S rRNA 3’ end processing and is a translation initiation factor that globally impacts the transition from initiation to elongation. By developing and implementing 18S-ENDseq, we revealed previously unknown events in 18S rRNA 3’ end maturation or metabolism. We quantitatively defined new processing hotspots and identified adenylation as the prevalent non-templated RNA modification at the 3’ ends of pre-18S rRNAs. Aberrant 18S rRNA maturation in hot3 further activated RNAi to generate RDR1- and DCL2/4-dependent risiRNAs mainly from a 3’ portion of 18S rRNA. We further showed that risiRNAs in hot3 were predominantly localized in ribosome-free fractions not responsible for the 18S rRNA maturation or translation initiation defects in hot3. Our study uncovered the molecular function of HOT3/eIF5B1 in 18S rRNA maturation at the late-40S assembly stage and revealed the regulatory crosstalk among ribosome biogenesis, mRNA translation initiation, and siRNA biogenesis in plants.
