Project description:We report that 2’-O-methylation levels at subset of positions in human ribosomal RNA are variable between cell types and conditions, and that the degree of methylation at distinct sites is responsive to key cellular pathways. MYC overexpression results in increased methylation at a particular rRNA site (18S:C174). We find that this methylation is important for modulating translation of distinct mRNAs, leading to phenotypic changes including modulation of cell proliferation rate. Thus, differential rRNA 2’-O-methylation can give rise to ribosomes with specialized function.

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:Purpose: Pre-ribosomal RNA is cleaved at defined sites, but many endonucleases involved in 18S rRNA release are not known. We apply an in vivo cross-linking technique coupled with deep sequencing (CRAC) that captures transcriptome-wide interactions between a yeast candidate pre-rRNA endonuclease (Utp24) and its targets in a living cell. Methods: We apply CRAC to an HTP-tagged Utp24 protein (HTP: His6 - TEV cleavage site - two copies of the z-domain of Protein A). At least two independent experiments were performed and analyzed separately. Results: We found that yeast Utp24 UV-crosslinked in vivo to the U3 snoRNA and all (pre-)rRNA elements that form the central pseudoknot in the 18S rRNA. The pseudoknot is an evolutionarily highly conserved structure that is required to ensure pre-rRNA processing at three cleavage sites (A0, A1 and A2) and still present in the mature rRNA. According to our crosslinking data, the endonuclease Utp24 is placed in close proximity to site A1 at the 5'-end of the 18S rRNA. Conclusion: Our study strongly supports the hypothesis that Utp24 cleaves pre-rRNA at sites A1 and A2. Examination of targets for pre-rRNA endonucleases in yeast cells.

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.

Project description:Non-coding RNAs including small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) play important roles in leukemogenesis but the relevant mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We performed snoRNA focused CRISPR-Cas9 knockout library screenings which targeted the entire snoRNAnome and corresponding host genes. The C/D box containing SNORD42A was identified as an essential modulator for AML cell survival and proliferation in multiple human leukemia cell lines. In line, SNORD42A was consistently expressed at high levels in primary AML patient samples. Functionally, knockout of SNORD42A reduced colony formation capability and inhibited proliferation. The SNORD42A acts as a C/D box snoRNA and directs 2´-O-methylation at Uridine 116 of 18S rRNA. Deletion of SNORD42A decreased 18S-U116 2´-O-methylation which was associated with a specific decrease in the translation of ribosomal proteins. In line, the cell size of SNORD42A deletion carrying leukemia cells was decreased. Taken together, these findings establish that high level expression of SNORD42A with concomitant U116 18S rRNA 2´-O-methylation is essential for leukemia cell growth and survival.

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.

Project description:Ribosome biosynthesis plays a crucial role in regulating protein translation and is essential for cell growth and development in physiological progress. The progression and recurrence of Pterygia mainly occur due to the abnormal proliferation and migration of stromal Pterygia fibroblasts. Small nucleolar RNA U3 (U3 snoRNA), harboring the atypical C/D boxes, is involved in 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA) synthesis; however, the mechanism of U3 snoRNA in Pterygia remains unclear. Methods: Primary HCFs and HPFs were separated and cultured from fresh conjunctival grafts and Pterygia tissues. The PLKO.1 lentiviral system and CRISPR/Cas9 recombinant construct were, respectively, used to overexpress and silence U3 snoRNA in HPF and HCF cells for further specific phenotypes analysis. RNA-seq and TMT-labeled quantitative protein mass spectrometry were utilized to evaluate the effect of U3 snoRNA on mRNA transcripts and protein synthesis. Results: Reduced U3 snoRNA in Pterygia promotes HCF or HPF cells' proliferation, migration, and cell cycle but has no significant effect on apoptosis. U3 snoRNA modulates 18S rRNA synthesis through shearing precursor ribosomal RNA 47S rRNA at the 5′ external transcribed spacer (5′ ETS). Moreover, the altered U3 snoRNA causes mRNA and protein differential expression in HCF or HPF cells. Conclusion: The atypical U3 snoRNA regulates the translation of specific proteins to exert a suppressive function in Pterygia through modulating the 18S RNA synthesis. Here, we uncover a novel insight into U3 snoRNA biology in the development of Pterygia.
