Ctcf Haploinsufficiency Mediates Intron Retention in A Tissue-specific Manner

ABSTRACT: CCCTC binding-factor (CTCF) is a master regulator of gene transcription and chromatin organization with occupancy at tens of thousands of DNA target sites genome-wide. CTCF is essential for embryonic development and somatic cell viability and has been well-characterized as a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor. Increasing evidence demonstrates CTCF as a key player in several alternative splicing (AS) regulatory mechanisms, including transcription elongation, transcriptional regulation of splicing factors, DNA methylation, histone modification and chromatin architecture. However, the genome-wide impact of Ctcf haploinsufficiency on AS has not been investigated. We performed a transcriptomic analysis on multiple tissues from a Ctcf hemizygous (Ctcf+/-) mouse model to examine the effect of Ctcf haploinsufficiency on gene expression and AS. Distinct tissue-specific differences in gene expression were observed in Ctcf+/- mice compared to wildtype mice. While exon skipping was the most abundant form of AS in all tissues, we observed a surprisingly large number of increased intron retention (IR) events in Ctcf+/- liver and kidney. Increased IR in liver affected genes involved in cytoskeletal organization, splicing- and metabolic-related processes. This study provides further evidence for Ctcf dose-dependent and tissue-specific regulation of gene expression and AS. Our data provide a strong foundation for elucidating the mechanistic role of CTCF in AS regulation and its biological consequences.

DNA methylation regulates intron retention via altered MeCP2-mediated splicing factor recruitment

Project description:While intron retention (IR) is now recognized as a widespread and conserved mechanism of gene expression control, its regulation is poorly understood. Here, we identify significantly reduced DNA methylation levels near splice junctions flanking retained introns compared to non-retained introns in diverse primary cells and cell lines. Further, we identify increased IR following inhibition of DNA methylation indicating that reduced DNA methylation promotes IR. We demonstrate reduced occupancy of MeCP2 near the splice junctions of retained introns, mirroring the reduced DNA methylation at these sites. Accordingly, MeCP2 depletion in tissues/cells enhances IR. By analyzing the MeCP2 interactome, we demonstrate that decreased MeCP2 binding near splice junctions facilitates IR via reduced recruitment of the splicing factor, Tra2b, and increased RNA polymerase II stalling. Our study identifies a dynamic interplay between DNA methylation, MeCP2 and splicing factors including Tra2b in IR regulation and provides novel insights into the mechanisms governing splicing.

Light regulates nuclear detainment of intron-retained transcripts through COP1-spliceosome to modulate photomorphogenesis

Project description:Intron retention (IR) is the most common alternative splicing (AS) event in Arabidopsis. Increasing studies have demonstrated a major role of IR in gene expression regulation. The impacts of IR on plant growth and development, and response to environments remains under explored. Here, we found that IR functions directly in gene expression regulation on a genome-wide scale through detainment of the intron-retained transcripts (IRTs) in the nucleus. Through this mechanism, nuclear-retained IRTs can be kept away from translation. COP1-dependent light modulation of IRTs of light signaling genes, such as PIF4, RVE1, and ABA3, contribute to seedling morphological development in responding to changing light conditions. Further, light-induced IR changes are under the control of the spliceosome, and in part through COP1-dependent ubiquitination and degradation of DCS1, a plant-specific spliceosomal component. Our data suggests that light regulates the activity of the spliceosome and the consequent IRTs nucleus detainment to modulate photomorphogenesis through COP1.

De novo mutations in the genome organizer CTCF cause Intellectual Disability (RNA-Seq)

Project description:An increasing number of genes involved in chromatin structure and epigenetic regulation has been implicated in a variety of developmental disorders, often including intellectual disability. By trio exome sequencing and subsequent mutational screening we now identified two de novo frameshift mutations and one de novo missense mutation in the CTCF gene in individuals with intellectual disability, microcephaly and growth retardation. Furthermore, a patient with a larger deletion including CTCF was identified. CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor) is one of the most important chromatin organizers in vertebrates and is involved in various chromatin regulation processes such as higher order of chromatin organization, enhancer function, and maintenance of three-dimensional chromatin structure. Transcriptome analyses in all three patients with point mutations revealed deregulation of genes involved in signal transduction and emphasized the role of CTCF in enhancer-driven expression of genes. Our findings indicate that haploinsufficiency of CTCF affects genomic interaction of enhancers and their regulated gene promoters that drive developmental processes and cognition. Comparison of lymphocyte gene expression between 3 de novo CTCF mutation patients and 8 controls (4 technical replicates each, no biological replicates).

Bud13 Promotes a Type I Interferon Response by Countering Intron Retention in Irf7

Project description:Intron retention (IR) has emerged as an important mechanism of gene expression control. Despite this, the factors that control IR events remain poorly understood. We observed consistent IR in one intron of the Irf7 gene and identified Bud13 as an RNA-binding protein that acts at this intron to increase the amount of successful splicing. Deficiency in Bud13 led to increased IR, decreased mature Irf7 transcript and protein levels, and consequently to a dampened type I interferon response. This impairment of Irf7 production in Bud13 deficient cells compromised their ability to withstand VSV infection. Global analysis of Bud13 knockdown and BUD13 cross-linking to RNA revealed a subset of introns that share many characteristics with the one found in Irf7 and are spliced in a Bud13-dependent manner. Deficiency of Bud13 led to decreased mature transcript from genes containing such introns. Thus, by acting as an antagonist to IR, Bud13 facilitates the expression of genes at which IR occurs.

Reactive astrocytes in ALS display dysregulated intron retention

Project description:Reactive astrocytes are implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), although the mechanisms controlling reactive transformation are unknown. We show that decreased intron retention (IR) is common to human iPSC-derived astrocytes carrying VCP, C9orf72 and SOD1 ALS-causing mutations as well as astrocytes stimulated to undergo reactive transformation. Notably, transcripts with decreased IR and increased expression are overrepresented in reactivity processes including cell-adhesion, stress-response, and immune-activation. We examined translatome sequencing (TRAP-seq) of astrocytes from a SOD1 mouse model, which revealed that transcripts upregulated in translation significantly overlap with transcripts with decreased IR. Using nucleo-cytoplasmic fractionation of VCP astrocytes coupled with mRNA sequencing and proteomics, we identify that decreased IR in nuclear-detained transcripts is associated with increased cytoplasmic expression of genes and proteins encoding regulators of reactivity - indicating nuclear-to-cytoplasmic translocation and translation of spliced reactivity-related transcripts. Our study provides important insights into the molecular regulation of reactive transformation of ALS astrocytes.

Effect of CLK2 expression in the regulation of intron retention during heat shock [RNA-seq]

Project description:Intron retention (IR) constitutes a less explored form of alternative splicing, wherein introns are retained within mature mRNA transcripts. Our investigation demonstrates that the CDC-like kinase 2 (CLK2) undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) within nuclear speckles in response to heat shock (HS). The formation of CLK2 condensates depends on the intrinsically disordered region (IDR) located within the N-terminal amino acids 1-148. Phosphorylation at residue T343 sustains CLK2 kinase activity and facilitates autophosphorylation, thus inhibiting the LLPS activity of the IDR. These CLK2 condensates initiate the reorganization of nuclear speckles, transforming them into larger, rounded structures. Moreover, these condensates facilitate the recruitment of splicing factors into these compartments, potentially restricting their access to mRNA for intron splicing. Consequently, the formation of CLK2 condensates promotes the IR.

Exploring the interaction between the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex and the zinc finger factor CTCF

Project description:The transcription factor CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) modulates pleiotropic functions mostly related to gene expression regulation. The role of CTCF in large scale genome organization is also well established. A unifying model to explain relationships between many CTCF-mediated activities involve direct or indirect interactions with numerous protein cofactors recruited to specific binding sites. The co-association of CTCF with other architectural proteins such as cohesin, chromodomain helicases and BRG1 further support the interplay between master regulators of mammalian genome folding. Here we report a comprehensive LC-MS/MS mapping of the components of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex co-associated with CTCF including subunits belonging to the core, signature and ATPase modules. We further show that the localization patterns of representative SWI/SNF members significantly overlap with CTCF sites on transcriptionally active chromatin regions. Moreover, we provide evidence of a direct binding of the BRK-BRG1 domain to the zinc finger motifs 4-8 of CTCF, thus suggesting that these domains mediate the interaction of CTCF with the SWI/SNF complex. These findings provide an updated view of the cooperative nature between CTCF and the SWI/SNF ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes, an important step for understanding how these architectural proteins collaborate to shape the genome.

Identification of ischemia-reperfusion induced protein changes in human intestine using quantitative (phospho)proteomics and MALDI mass spectrometry imaging

Project description:Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IR) is a severe clinical condition, and unraveling its pathophysiology is crucial in order to improve therapeutic strategies and reduce the high morbidity and mortality rates. Here, we studied the dynamic proteome and phosphoproteome in human intestine during ischemia and reperfusion, using LC-MS analysis to gain quantitative information of thousands of proteins and phosphosites, as well as MS imaging to obtain spatial information. We identified a significant decrease in abundance of proteins related to intestinal absorption, microvillus and cell junction, whereas proteins involved in innate immunity, in particular the complement cascade, and extracellular matrix organization increased in abundance after IR. Differentially phosphorylated proteins were involved in RNA splicing events and cytoskeletal and cell junction organization. In addition, our analysis points to MAPK and CDK families to be active kinases during IR. Finally, MALDI-TOF MS imaging presented peptide alterations in abundance and distribution, which resulted, in combination with FTICR-MS imaging and LC-MS, in the identification of additional proteins related to RNA splicing, the complement cascade and extracellular matrix organization. This study expanded our understanding of the molecular changes that occur during IR in human intestine, and highlights the value of the complementary use of different MS-based methodologies.
