Project description:RNA subcellular localization often correlates with its function and regulation. For many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and some isoforms of coding genes, their transcripts are preferentially retained on the chromatin. However, the mechanisms controlling the chromatin retention of lncRNAs and mRNA transcripts remain largely unknown. We hypothesize that embedded RNA sequences and interacting proteins may be the cis and trans regulators governing RNA subcellular localization, respectively. To comprehensively identify the cis-regulatory elements of RNA transcript, here we have developed a high-throughput sequencing-based method named RNA elements for subcellular localization by sequencing (REL-seq). Using this method, we identified RNA sequences contribute to the chromatin retention of several transcripts. By combining REL-seq with random mutagenesis (mutREL-seq), we further narrowed down the key RNA motifs and residues in regulating their subcellular localization at base resolution. Finally, based on the RNA element we identified, we revealed and confirmed U1 snRNA targeting site contributes to RNA chromatin retention.

Project description:Pervasive transcription in the mammalian genome produces thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and promoter- or enhancer-associated unstable transcripts. They preferentially locate to chromatin, at which some regulate chromatin structure, transcription and RNA processing. While several RNA sequences responsible for nuclear localization have been identified, such as repeats in the lncRNA Xist and Alu-like elements for long RNAs, how lncRNAs as a class are enriched on chromatin remains elusive. To screen for cis-elements that contribute to RNA-chromatin localization, we developed a high-throughput method named RNA elements for subcellular localization by sequencing (REL-seq), and discovered a U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP)-recognition motif being critical for chromatin localization of reporter RNAs. Across the genome, chromatin-bound lncRNAs, which are enriched with 5’ splice sites and depleted of 3’ splice sites, exhibit high levels of U1 snRNA binding compared to cytoplasm-localized protein-coding mRNAs. Acute depletion of U1 snRNA, or U1 snRNP protein component SNRNP70, drastically reduces the chromatin association of hundreds of lncRNAs and unstable transcripts without altering the overall transcription rate in cells. In addition, rapid degradation of SNRNP70 reduces the localization of both nascent and polyadenylated lncRNA transcripts to chromatin, and disrupts the nuclear-speckles and genome-wide localization of Malat1, a highly conserved and abundant lncRNA. Moreover, chromatin-bound U1 snRNP interacts with transcriptionally engaged RNA polymerase (Pol) II. Together, these results demonstrate that U1 snRNP acts widely to tether and mobilize lncRNAs to chromatin in a Pol II transcription-dependent manner. Our findings uncover a novel role of U1 snRNP beyond pre-mRNA processing and provide molecular insights into how lncRNAs are recruited to Pol II-transcribed genes and have a propensity for chromatin-associated functions.

Project description:In this study, we have integrated RNA-seq data from subcellular fractionated RNA (i.e., cytoplasm, nucleoplasm, and chromatin-associated) with GRO-seq data using a novel bioinformatics pipeline. This has yielded a comprehensive catalog of polyadenylated lncRNAs in MCF-7 cells, about half of which have not been annotated previously and about a quarter of which are estrogen-regulated. Knockdown of selected lncRNAs, such as lncRNA152 and lncRNA67 followed by RNA-seq suggest that these lncRNAs regulate the expression of cell cycle genes. characterization of long noncoding RNAs

Project description:Myc is a well known transcription factor with important roles in cell cycle, apoptosis and cellular transformation. Long non-coding (lnc)RNAs have recently emerged as a important class of regulatory RNAs. Here, we show that lncRNAs are an extensive component of the Myc-regulated transcriptional program. Using the P493-6 inducible Myc model we demonstrate that both Myc-induced mRNAs and lncRNAs were significant enriched for Myc binding sites. In contrast to Myc-repressed mRNAs, Myc-repressed lncRNAs were significantly enriched for Myc binding sites. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that Myc-repressed lncRNAs and mRNAs are enriched in the nucleus while Myc-induced lncRNAs and mRNAs are enriched both in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Parallel analysis of differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs identified 105 lncRNA-mRNA pairs that were in close vicinity, indicative for regulation in cis. To support the potential relevance of the Myc-regulated lncRNAs in cellular transformation, we analyzed their expression in primary Myc-high and Myc-low B-cell lymphomas. In total, 54% of the lncRNAs differentially expressed between the lymphoma subsets were identified as Myc-regulated in P493-6 cells. This study is the first to show that lncRNAs are an important factor within the Myc-regulated transcriptional program and indicates a marked difference between Myc-repressed lncRNAs and mRNAs. Expression of all known mRNAs and >10 000 lncRNAs was assessed in primary lymphoma tissue with high c-myc levels (Burkitt lymphoma; BL) and low c-myc levels (chronic lymphocytic leukemia; CLL)

Project description:LncRNAs are developmentally regulated and highly cell type-specific non-coding RNAs that have emerged as important regulators of cell fate commitment and maintenance. In this study, we dissected the role of lncRNAs in human pancreas development by classifying lncRNAs based on their dynamic regulation, subcellular localization, and engagement with ribosomes during the stepwise differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) towards pancreatic fate. We then deleted 10 candidate lncRNAs in hESCs and characterized the knockout phenotypes of pancreatic developmental intermediates, prioritizing dynamically regulated lncRNAs with validated translation potential and proximity to developmental TFs. This small-scale loss-of-function screen revealed that most lncRNAs are dispensable for pancreatic development and the regulation of nearby genes. We identify LINC00261 as the first translated lncRNA involved in human endocrine cell development, and show that it regulates gene expression in pancreatic progenitor cells in trans rather than cis. Through systematic dissection of LINC00261's coding and noncoding functions, we can exclude a role for the produced micropeptides in this process. Instead, we posit that, over the course of pancreatic differentiation, the biological activity of multiple lncRNAs is controlled by a regulatory, translation machinery dependent mechanism that employs ribosome engagement and short open reading frame translation to dose lncRNA activity in the nucleus. It is conceivable that inadequate nuclear LINC00261 dosage during human pancreas development could predispose individuals to developing diabetes.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate diverse biological pathways. Unlike protein coding genes, where methods to comprehensibly study their functional roles in cellular systems are available, techniques to systematically investigate lncRNAs have largely remained unexplored. Here, we report a technology for combined Knockdown and Localization Analysis of Non-coding RNAs (c-KLAN) that merges phenotypic characterization and localization approaches to study lncRNAs. Using a library of endoribonuclease prepared short interfering RNAs (esiRNAs) coupled with a pipeline for synthesizing labeled riboprobes for RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), we demonstrate the utility of c-KLAN by identifying a novel transcript Panct1 (Pluripotency associated non-coding transcript 1) that regulates embryonic stem cell identity. We postulate that c-KLAN should be generally useful in the discovery of lncRNAs implicated in various biological processes. In this experiment, the levels of Panct1(AK156552) have been depleted by RNAi and the expression levels of all genes have been monitored 72 hours post transfection with esiRNAs against Panct1. An esiRNA against non-targeting Luciferase was used as a negative control.

Project description:To identify potential lncRNAs that associate with CENP-C, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) using the CENP-C and control IgG antibody was performed in the whole-cell lysates of HeLa cells, followed by Illumina short-read sequencing (RIP-seq). We found three CENP-C-binding lncRNAs that meet the enrichment criteria (fold change > 2, p < 0.01), including AGAP2-AS1, GS1-124K5.4, and AC124789.1 (lnc-CCTT) . Consistent with the results of RIP-seq, RIP-qPCR assay in whole-cell lysates showed that all three lncRNAs could bind to CENP-C, while lnc-CCTT showing the most robust association of CENP-C. ). It is well-established that the localization of lncRNAs within the cell is the primary determinant of their molecular functions. RT-qPCR (quantitative PCR with reverse transcription) assay of subcellular fractionation and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (RNA-FISH) revealed that AGAP2-AS1 and GS1-124K5.4 dominantly distributed in the cytoplasm, whereas lnc-CCTT, specifically and almost exclusively, localized to the nucleus. Thus, lnc-CCTT appears to be a prime interacting RNA of CENP-C at centromere.
