Co-existence of compulsory and plastic rRNA 2'-O-Methylation sites in human breast tumours

ABSTRACT: Emerging evidence suggests that changes in ribosomal RNA 2’O-ribose methylation (rRNA 2’OMe) in the human ribosome play a key role in regulating translation thereby contributing in setting particular phenotypes such as hallmarks of cancer cells. Here, by analysing the rRNA 2’OMe in a large series of 195 human primary breast tumours using the RiboMETH-seq approach we have identified the positions within the rRNA molecules which can tolerate the absence of 2’OMe in humans. The frequency of rRNA 2’OMe at some positions is highly stable between individuals (termed “stable”) whereas it can vary substantially at other positions (termed “variant”). Differential association of rRNA 2’OMe with breast cancer features, evolution and structure/function characteristics suggest the stable positions showing a low inter-variability might be required to maintain the core structure and thus the function of the ribosome – representing compulsory rRNA 2’OMe positions. In contrast, the variant positions displaying high inter-variability might be the source of regulatory events – representing plastic rRNA 2’OMe positions. Therefore our data issued from rRNA 2’OMe profiling of a large-scale human sample series bring the first compelling evidence to resolve two divergent long lasting visions of the role of rRNA 2’O-Me and sustain the emerging role of the ribosome plasticity in regulating translation in cancer.

Stable nucleosome positions in HOX clusters; human K562 and HeLa cells

Project description:The distribution of nucleosomes along the genome is a significant aspect of chromatin structure and is thought to influence gene regulation through modulation of DNA accessibility. However, properties of nucleosome organization remain poorly understood, particularly in mammalian genomes where nucleosome positions have not been examined beyond isolated loci and promoter regions. Towards this goal we used tiled microarrays to identify stable nucleosome positions along the HOX gene clusters in human cell lines. We show that nucleosome positions exhibit sequence properties and long-range organization that are different from those characterized in other organisms. Despite overall variability of inter-nucleosome distances, specific loci contain regular nucleosomal arrays with 195bp periodicity. Moreover, such arrays tend to occur preferentially toward the 3’ ends of genes. Through comparison of different cell lines, we find that increased gene expression correlates with increased positioning of nucleosomes, suggesting an unexpected role for transcription in the establishment of well-positioned nucleosomes.

Alterations of ribosomal RNA pseudouridylation in human breast cancer

Project description:RNA modifications are key regulatory factors for several biological and pathological processes. They are abundantly represented on ribosomal RNA (rRNA), where they contribute to regulate ribosomal function in mRNA translation. Altered RNA modification pathways have been linked to tumorigenesis as well as to other human diseases. In this study we quantitatively evaluated the site-specific pseudouridylation pattern in rRNA in breast cancer samples exploiting the RBS-Seq technique involving RNA bisulfite treatment coupled with a new NGS approach. We found a wide variability among patients at different sites. The most dysregulated positions in tumors turned out to be hypermodified with respect to a reference RNA. As for 2’O-methylation level of rRNA modification, we detected variable and stable pseudouridine sites, with the most stable sites being the most evolutionary conserved. We also observed that pseudouridylation levels at specific sites are related to some clinical and bio-pathological tumor features and are able to distinguish different patient clusters. This study is the first example of the contribution that newly available high-throughput approaches for site specific pseudouridine detection can provide to the understanding of the intrinsic ribosomal changes occurring in human tumors.

Ribosome protein composition in wt and 23S+5S rRNA ribosomes

Project description:The 120-nt long 5S rRNA, is an indispensable component of cytoplasmic ribosomes in all living organisms. The functions of 5S rRNA and the reasons for its evolutionary preservation as an independent molecule remain unclear. Here we used ribosome engineering to investigate whether maintaining 5S rRNA as an independent molecule is critical for ribosome function and cell survival. By fusing circularly permutated 5S rRNA (cp5S) with 23S rRNA and deleting all wild type 5S rRNA genes, we generated an Escherichia coli strain completely devoid of free 5S rRNA. Viability of the engineered cells demonstrates that autonomous 5S rRNA is not required for cell growth at 37°C and is unlikely to have essential functions outside the ribosome. The fully-assembled ribosomes carrying 23S-cp5S hybrid rRNA and lacking free 5S rRNA are highly active in translation. However, the engineered cells accumulate aberrant 50S subunits that are unable to form stable 70S ribosomes. Cryo-EM analysis revealed a dramatically malformed peptidyl transferase center in the misassembled 50S subunits. The results of our experiments argue that the key evolutionary force preserving the autonomous nature of the smallest rRNA is its role in ribosome biogenesis.

Circular non-coding RNA ANRIL modulates ribosomal RNA maturation and atherosclerosis in humans.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are broadly expressed in eukaryotic cells, but their role in human health and disease remains obscure. Here, we show that circular antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (circANRIL), which is transcribed at a locus of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease on chromosome 9p21, confers athero-protection by controlling ribosomal RNA (rRNA) maturation and modulating pathways of atherogenesis. At the molecular level, circANRIL competes with precursor rRNA (pre-rRNA) for binding to pescadillo homolog 1 (PES1), an essential 60S-preribosomal assembly factor, thereby impairing exonuclease-mediated pre-rRNA processing and ribosome biogenesis. As a consequence, circANRIL induces nucleolar stress and p53 activation, resulting in the induction of apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation, which are key athero-protective cell functions within the arterial wall. Collectively, these findings identify circANRIL as a prototype of a circRNA regulating ribosome biogenesis and conferring athero-protection, thereby unveiling a therapeutic potential of certain circRNAs in human disease. Analysis of transcriptome-wide expression level in HEK293 cells with stable overexpression of circular ANRIL (n=3) compared to a vector control (n=3).

Growth-phase dependent control of rRNA synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [NET-seq]

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the most well-studied model organisms used in the scientific community. Its ease of manipulation, accessible growth conditions, short life cycle, and conserved eukaryotic metabolic pathways make it a useful model organism. Consequently, yeast has been used to investigate a myriad of phenomena, from microbial to human studies. Most of the research performed using this model organism utilizes yeast cell populations when they are growing exponentially, a growth phase aptly termed exponential or log phase. However, log phase encompasses several yeast generations and ranges several hours of yeast growth, meaning that there is a potential for variability during this “homogenous” growth phase. Cells in log phase require robust ribosome biogenesis to support their rapid growth and cell division. Interestingly, during log phase, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis (which is the first and rate limiting step in ribosome biosynthesis) has been shown to decrease prior to growth rate decline in stationary phase. In this study, we utilized several genomic and biochemical methods to elucidate the relationship between subphases of log phase and rRNA synthesis. Our results indicate that as yeast cells progress through subphases of log growth both of Pol I transcription and rRNA processing are repressed. Overall, this study establishes a growth phase dependent control of rRNA synthesis that unexpectedly begins prior to the switch to stationary phase (i.e. pre-diauxic shift) as a putative mechanism of anticipating nutrient starvation.

Reduction of ribosomal expansion segments in yeast species of the Magnusiomyces/Saprochaete clade

Project description:Ribosomes are ribonucleoprotein complexes highly conserved across all domains of life. The size differences of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) can be mainly attributed to variable regions termed expansion segments (ESs) protruding out from the ribosomal surface. Although the ESs were found to be involved in a range of processes including ribosome biogenesis and maturation, translation, and co-translational protein modification, their roles remain largely elusive. Here, we analyze the rRNAs of the yeasts from the Magnusiomyces/Saprochaete clade belonging to the basal lineages of the subphylum Saccharomycotina. We find that these yeasts lack more than 400 and 150 nt from the 25S and 18S rRNAs, respectively, when compared with “canonical” counterparts. With a few exceptions, the missing regions map to ESs thus representing a shift toward minimal rRNA structure raising a question about their roles. On the other hand, we show that the ribosomal protein inventories remained unaffected. We also show that the shortening of ESs is not limited to the species of the Magnusiomyces/Saprochaete clade as the rRNA reduction happened independently in several other lineages of the subphylum Saccharomycotina.

Genome-wide mapping and functional analysis of DNA methylation in clonal invasive crayfish [ATAC-seq]

Project description:The marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis) is a unique freshwater crayfish characterized by genetic uniformity, phenotypic variability, and substantial invasive potential. As invasion into different habitats occurs in the absence of genetic variation, epigenetic mechanisms have been suggested to mediate phenotypic adaptation. However, epigenetic regulation has not been analyzed in this organism yet. Here we show that the recently published P. virginalis draft genome sequence encodes a conserved DNA methylation system. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing of multiple replicates and different tissues revealed a methylation pattern that is characterized by gene body methylation of housekeeping genes. Interestingly, this pattern was largely tissue-invariant, suggesting a function that is unrelated to cell-fate specification. Indeed, integrative analysis of RNA-seq datasets showed that gene body methylation correlated with stable gene expression, while unmethylated genes often showed a high degree of inter-individual expression variation. Our findings thus establish the methylome of an emerging model organism and suggest that methylation-dependent regulation of gene expression variability may facilitate the phenotypic adaptation and invasive spread of this animal.
