Argonaute Binding within 3’-Untranslated Regions Does Not Predict Gene Repression

ABSTRACT: Despite two decades of study, the full scope of RNAi in mammalian cells has remained obscure. Here we combine: 1) Knockout of argonaute (AGO) variants; 2) RNA sequencing analysis of gene expression changes; and 3) Enhanced Crosslinking Immunoprecipitation Sequencing (eCLIP-seq) using anti-AGO2 antibody to identify potential microRNA (miRNA) binding sites. We find that knocking out AGO1, AGO2, and AGO3 are necessary to achieve full impact on gene expression. eCLIP-seq reveals several hundred significant AGO2 associations within 3’-untranslated regions. The standard mechanism of miRNA action would suggest that these associations repress gene expression. Contrary to this expectation, associations between AGO and RNA are poorly correlated with gene repression in wild-type versus knockout cells. Many clusters are associated with increased gene expression in wild-type versus knock out cells, including the strongest cluster within the MYC 3’-UTR. Our results suggest that assumptions about miRNA action should be re-examined.

Functional characterization of Arabidopsis ARGONAUTE 3 in reproductive tissue

Project description:Arabidopsis encodes ten ARGONAUTE (AGO) effectors of RNA silencing, canonically loaded with either 21-22nt small RNAs (sRNA) to mediate post-transcriptional-gene-silencing (PTGS) or 24nt sRNAs to promote RNA-directed-DNA-methylation. Using full-locus constructs, we characterized the expression, biochemical properties, and possible modes of action of AGO3. Although AGO3 arose from a recent duplication at the AGO2 locus, their expression differs drastically, with AGO3 prevailing in aerial vascular terminations and specifically in chalazal seed integuments; accordingly, AGO3 down-regulation alters gene expression in siliques. Similar to AGO2, AGO3 binds sRNAs with a strong 5’-adenosine bias, but unlike most Arabidopsis AGOs - AGO2 included - it binds efficiently both 24nt and 21nt sRNAs. AGO3 immuno precipitation experiments in siliques revealed that these sRNAs mostly associate to genes and intergenic regions and not to canonical AGO targets, such as transposable elements. AGO3 localizes to the cytoplasm and co-fractionates with polysomes to possibly mediate PTGS via translation inhibition.

Argonaute3-SF3B3 complex controls pre-mRNA splicing to restrain Type-2 immunity [RNA-seq: cultured cells]

Project description:Argonaute (AGO) proteins execute Micro-RNA (miRNA) mediated gene silencing. However it is currently debated whether all 4 mammalian AGO proteins (AGO1, AGO2, AGO3 and AGO4) are required for miRNA activity. To address this, we generated a mouse with deleted Ago1, Ago3 and Ago4 genes (Ago134), and found that these Argonaute proteins are completely redundant for miRNA biogenesis, miRNA homeostasis or miRNA function, a role that is carried out exclusively by AGO2. Instead, AGO1/3/4 are required to curtail the expansion of Type-2 adaptive immunity in mice via regulation of precursor-mRNA (pre-mRNA) splicing in CD4+ TH lymphocytes. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments demonstrate that nuclear AGO3 interacts directly with SF3B3, a component of the U2 spliceosome complex, to aid global mRNA splicing. Our work uncouples AGO1, AGO3 and AGO4 from miRNA-mediated RNAi, discovers a new AGO3:SF3B3 complex in the cellular nucleus, and reveals an underappreciated mechanism by which AGO proteins prevent hyper-inflammatory disease.

Sites for Argonaute Binding within Human Nuclear RNA and their Impact on Alternative Splicing

Project description:Mammalian RNA interference (RNAi) is often linked to regulation in the cytoplasm. While synthetic RNAs regulate transcription and splicing, endogenous functions for nuclear RNAi have been obscure. Using enhanced crosslinking immunoprecipitation (eCLIP), we mapped AGO2 binding sites within nuclear RNA. The strongest AGO binding sites mapped to miRNAs. The prevalence of individual miRNAs was similar in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Most statistically-significant AGO2 binding was within intron boundaries. RNAseq comparing AGO1, AGO2, AGO1/2, and AGO1/2/3 knockout to wild-type cells revealed that binding was associated with both up- and down-regulation of gene expression. We observed changes of splicing at genes with significant AGO binding at exon/intron junctions or within introns. Splicing changes were confirmed by RT-PCR and could be recapitulated by synthetic duplex RNAs that target the sites of AGO binding. Inhibition of miRNA action by addition of an anti-miR reversed miRNA-mediated control of splicing. We conclude: 1) That AGO binding sites occur throughout nuclear RNA but are often within introns; 2) The distribution of miRNAs is similar in the nucleus and cytoplasm; and 3) miRNAs can control gene splicing. Nuclear RNAi has the potential to be a natural regulatory mechanism but careful study will be necessary to identify critical RNA drivers of normal physiology and disease.

Arabidopsis AGO1 N-terminal extension acts as an essential hub for PRMT5 interaction and post-translational modifications

Project description:Plant ARGONAUTE (AGO) proteins play pivotal roles in gene expression regulation through small (s)RNA-guided mechanisms. Among the ten AGO proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana, AGO1 stands out as the main effector of post-transcriptional gene silencing. Intriguingly, a specific region of AGO1, its N-terminal extension (NTE), has gained prominence in recent studies linked to diverse regulatory functions, including subcellular localization, sRNA loading, and interactions with regulatory factors. In the realm of post-translational modifications (PTMs), little is known about arginine methylation in Arabidopsis AGOs. This study reveals a novel and intricate landscape of AGO1 methylation. Here, we have elucidated that NTEAGO1 undergoes symmetric arginine dimethylation on specific residues, and interacts with the methyltransferase PRMT5, which catalyzes its methylation. Notably, we observed that the lack of symmetric dimethylarginine has no discernible impact on AGO1's subcellular localization or miRNA loading capabilities. However, the absence of PRMT5 significantly alters the loading of a subgroup of sRNAs into AGO1 and reshapes the NTEAGO1 interactome. Importantly, our research extends beyond AGO1, illustrating that symmetric arginine dimethylation of NTEs is a common process across Arabidopsis AGOs, taking place in AGO1, AGO2, AGO3, and AGO5, deepening our understanding of PTMs in the intricate landscape of RNA-associated gene regulation.

Integrative transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of the effects of cell confluency on gene expression

Project description:In this study we examine the impact of cell confluency on gene expression. We focused on Argonaute (AGO) protein dynamics and associated gene and protein expression in HEK293, A375, and SHSY5Y cell lines. As a consequence of cell confluency, AGO2 protein translocates into the nucleus. Therefore, we generated transcriptomic data using RNA sequencing to compare gene expression in subconfluent versus confluent cells, which highlighted significant alterations in gene regulation patterns directly corresponding to changes in cell density. Our study also encompasses miRNA profiling data obtained through small RNA sequencing, revealing miRNA expressional changes dependent on cellular confluency, as well as cellular localization. Finally, we derived proteomic data from mass spectrometry analyses following AGO1-4 immunoprecipitation, providing a comprehensive view of AGO interactome in both nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments under varying confluency. These datasets offer a detailed exploration of the cellular and molecular dynamics, influenced by cell confluency, presenting a valuable resource for further research in cellular biology, particularly in understanding the basic mechanisms of cell density in cancer cells.

miRNAs associated with the different human Argonaute proteins

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function in literally all cellular processes. miRNAs interact with Argonaute (Ago) proteins and guide them to specific target sites located in the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of target mRNAs leading to translational repression and deadenylation-induced mRNA degradation. Most miRNAs are processed from hairpin-structured precursors by the consecutive action of the RNase III enzymes Drosha and Dicer. However, processing of miR-451 is Dicer-independent and cleavage is mediated by the endonuclease Ago2. Here we have characterized miR-451 sequence and structure requirements for processing as well as sorting of miRNAs into different Ago proteins. Pre-miR-451 appears to be optimized for Ago2 cleavage and changes result in reduced processing. In addition, we show that the mature miR-451 only associates with Ago2 suggesting that mature miRNAs are not exchanged between different members of the Ago protein family. Based on cloning and deep sequencing of endogenous miRNAs associated with Ago1-3, we do not find evidence for miRNA sorting in human cells. However, Ago identity appears to influence the length of some miRNAs, while others remain unaffected. Examination of miRNAs associated with endogenous human Ago1-4 in HeLa cells

Genome-wide maps of Argonaute 2-chromosome interactions in miR-204-3p-overexpressed macrophages [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Ago2, an essential effector for miRNA function, has been reported to be found in the nucleus together with miRNA. The miRNA-Ago complexes in the nucleus play an important role in regulating gene transcription. We previously have demonstrated the nuclear presence of miR-204-3p in macrophages. Here, we investigated and compared the Ago2 occupancy on the chromosomes upon miR-204-3p overexpression.

Arabidopsis AGO3 predominantly recruits 24-nucleotide small RNAs to regulate epigenetic silencing [miRNA-seq]

Project description:AGO3 predominantly bound 24-nt sRNAs with 5â?? terminal adenine. The spectrum of AGO3-associated sRNAs was different from those bound to AGO2. By contrast, approximately 30% of AGO3-bound 24-nt sRNAs overlapped with those bound to AGO4 and over 60% of AGO3-associated 24-nt sRNA enriched loci were identical to those of AGO4. In addition, expression of AGO3 driven by AGO4 native promoter partially complemented AGO4 function and rescued DNA methylation defect in ago4-1 background. Examination of AGO3 and AGO2 bound small RNAs with/without salt stress.
