Protease-mediated processing of Argonaute proteins controls small RNA association [smallRNA-Seq]

Project description:Small RNA pathways defend the germlines of animals against selfish genetic elements and help to maintain genomic integrity. At the same time, their activity needs to be well-controlled to prevent silencing of ‘self’ genes. Here, we reveal a proteolytic mechanism that controls endogenous small interfering (22G) RNA activity in the Caenorhabditis elegans germline to protect genome integrity and maintain fertility. We find that WAGO-1 and WAGO-3 Argonaute proteins are produced as pro-proteins that are matured through proteolytic processing of their unusually proline-rich N-termini. In the absence of DPF-3, a P-granule-localized N-terminal dipeptidase orthologous to mammalian DPP8/9, processing fails, causing a change of identity of 22G RNAs bound to these WAGO proteins. Accumulation of repeat- and transposon-derived transcripts, DNA damage and sterility ensue. We propose that DPF-3 acts as a licensing factor for 22G RNA activity.
