Project description:We examined the role of PTBP1 in regulation of co-transcriptional splicing process by depleting this RNA-binding protein from embryonic stem cells using the auxin-inducible degron technology and analysing the total and chromatin-associated RNA fractions by RNA-seq. We also performed mNET-seq and ChIP-seq analyses using RNA polymerase II- and PTBP1-specific antibodies, respectively. Our data suggest that PTBP1 activates co-transcriptional splicing of hundreds of introns, a surprising effect given that PTBP1 is better known as a splicing repressor. Importantly, some co-transcriptionally activated introns fail to be spliced post-transcriptionally without PTBP1. In a striking example of this regulation, lasting retention of a PTBP1-dependent intron triggers nonsense-mediated decay of mRNAs encoding DNA methyltransferase DNMT3B, explaining their natural expression dynamics in development. Our further analyses suggest that this mechanism may protect differentiation-specific genes from aberrant methylation. We conclude that PTBP1-activated co-transcriptional splicing underlies biologically important decisions.

Project description:Ribosomopathies constitute a range of disabling conditions associated with defective protein synthesis mainly affecting hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and erythroid development. Here we demonstrate that deletion of Polypyrimidine Tract Binding Protein 1 (PTBP1) in the hematopoietic compartment led to the development of a ribosomopathy-like condition. Specifically, loss of PTBP1 was associated with a decrease in HSC self-renewal, erythroid differentiation and protein synthesis. Consistent with its function as a splicing regulator, PTBP1 deficiency led to splicing defects in hundreds of genes and we demonstrate that the up-regulation of a specific isoform of CDC42 could partly mimic the protein synthesis defect associated with loss of PTBP1. Furthermore, PTBP1 deficiency was associated with a marked defect in ribosome biogenesis and a selective reduction in the translation of mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins. Collectively, this work identifies PTBP1 as a key integrator of ribosomal functions and highlights the broad functional repertoire of RNA binding proteins.

Project description:IMR90 ER:RAS cells were stably transduced with either an empty vector or 2 deconvoluted shRNAs targeting PTBP1. Following selection with puromycin, the cells were treated with 4OHT to induce senescence. 6 days later the cells were collected for total mRNA analysis. PTBP1 is a regulator of alternative splicing. Our previous experiments had shown that PTBP1 depletion inhibits the expression of pro-inflammatory genes without affecting other senescence-associated phenotypes. By performing RNA-seq we confirmed those observations at a global level and analysed how PTBP1 knockdown alters alternative splicing as a potential mechanism of action.

Project description:RNA binding proteins play an important role in regulating alternative pre-mRNA splicing and in turn cellular gene expression. Polypyrimidine tract binding proteins, PTBP1 and PTBP2, are paralogous RNA binding proteins that play a critical role in the process of neuronal differentiation and maturation; changes in the concentration of PTBP proteins during neuronal development direct splicing changes in many transcripts that code for proteins critical for neuronal differentiation. How the two related proteins regulate different sets of neuronal exons is unclear. The distinct splicing activities of PTBP1 and PTBP2 can be recapitulated in an in vitro splicing system with the differentially regulated N1 exon of the c-src pre-mRNA. Here, we conducted experiments under these in vitro splicing conditions to identify PTBP1 and PTBP2 interacting partner proteins.

Project description:Fabry disease is a rare X-linked disorder affecting ?-galactosidase A, a rate-limiting enzyme in lysosomal catabolism of glycosphingolipids. Current treatments present important limitations, such as low half-life and limited distribution, which gene therapy can overcome. The aim of this work was to test a novel adeno-associated viral vector, serotype 9 (AAV9), ubiquitously expressing human ?-galactosidase A to treat Fabry disease (scAAV9-PGK-GLA). The vector was preliminary tested in newborns of a Fabry disease mouse model. 5 months after treatment, ?-galactosidase A activity was detectable in the analyzed tissues, including the central nervous system. Moreover, we tested the vector in adult animals of both sexes at two doses and disease stages (presymptomatic and symptomatic) by single intravenous injection. We found that the exogenous ?-galactosidase A was active in peripheral tissues as well as the central nervous system and prevented glycosphingolipid accumulation in treated animals up to 5 months following injection. Antibodies against ?-galactosidase A were produced in 9 out of 32 treated animals, although enzyme activity in tissues was not significantly affected. These results demonstrate that scAAV9-PGK-GLA can drive widespread and sustained expression of ?-galactosidase A, cross the blood brain barrier after systemic delivery, and reduce pathological signs of the Fabry disease mouse model.

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) bind at different positions of pre-mRNA molecules to promote or reduce the usage of a particular exon. Seeking to understand the working principle of these positional effects, we develop a capture RIC-seq (CRIC-seq) method to enrich specific RBP-associated in situ proximal RNA-RNA fragments for deep sequencing. We determine hnRNPA1-, SRSF1-, and PTBP1-associated proximal RNA-RNA contacts and regulatory mechanisms in HeLa cells. Unexpectedly, the 3D RNA map analysis shows that PTBP1-associated loops in individual introns preferentially promote cassette exon splicing by accelerating asymmetric intron removal, whereas the loops spanning across cassette exon primarily repress splicing. These “positional rules” can faithfully predict PTBP1-regulated splicing outcomes. We further demonstrate that cancer-related splicing quantitative trait loci can disrupt RNA loops by reducing PTBP1 binding on pre-mRNAs to cause aberrant splicing in tumors. Our study presents a powerful method for exploring the functions of RBP-associated RNA-RNA proximal contacts in gene regulation and disease.
