Biallelic RNU12 noncoding variants cause CDAGS syndrome

ABSTRACT: CDAGS Syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by Craniosynostosis, Delayed closure of the fontanelles, cranial defects, clavicular hypoplasia, Anal and Genitourinary malformations, and Skin manifestations. We performed exome sequencing to identify the underlying molecular cause in five patients with CDAGS syndrome from four distinct families. Whole exome sequencing revealed rare variants that disrupt highly conserved nucleotides within the RNU12 gene. RNU12 encodes a small nuclear RNA that is a component of the minor spliceosome and is essential for minor intron splicing. Targeted sequencing confirmed allele segregation within the four families. All five patients in this cohort have a rare variant on one allele that either disrupts the secondary structure or the Sm binding site of the RNU12 snRNA. The variant on the other allele, shared among all five cases, alters a highly conserved nucleotide within the precursor U12 snRNA 3’ extension that is absent in 1440 unrelated healthy controls. All of the variants are either rare or absent from all searched public databases. Whole transcriptome sequencing analysis identified gene dysregulation and specific defects in intron retention in a subset of minor intron splicing. These findings provide evidence of the involvement of RNU12 in craniosynostosis, anal and genitourinary patterning and cutaneous disease.

Chromosomal instability by mutations in the novel minor spliceosome component CENATAC

Project description:Aneuploidy is the leading cause of miscarriage and congenital birth defects, and a hallmark of cancer. Despite this strong association with human disease, the genetic causes of aneuploidy remain largely unknown. Through exome sequencing of patients with constitutional mosaic aneuploidy, we identified biallelic truncating mutations in CENATAC (CCDC84). We show that CENATAC is a novel component of the minor (U12-dependent) spliceosome that promotes splicing of a specific, rare minor intron subtype. This subtype is characterized by AT-AN splice sites and relatively high basal levels of intron retention. CENATAC depletion or expression of disease mutants resulted in excessive retention of AT-AN minor introns in ~100 genes enriched for nucleocytoplasmic transport and cell cycle regulators, and caused chromosome segregation errors. Our findings reveal selectivity in minor intron splicing and suggest a link between minor spliceosome defects and constitutional aneuploidy in humans.

Minor intron retention drives clonal hematopoietic disorders and diverse cancer predisposition

Project description:Most eukaryotes harbor two distinct pre-mRNA splicing machineries: the major spliceosome, which removes >99% of introns, and the minor spliceosome, which removes rare, evolutionarily conserved introns. Although hypothesized to serve important regulatory functions, physiologic roles for the minor spliceosome are not well understood. For example, the minor spliceosome component ZRSR2 is subject to recurrent, leukemia-associated mutations, yet functional connections between minor introns, hematopoiesis, and cancers are unclear. Here, we identify that impaired minor intron excision via ZRSR2 loss enhances hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal. CRISPR screens mimicking nonsense-mediated decay of minor intron-containing mRNAs converged on LZTR1, a regulator of Ras-related GTPases. LZTR1 minor intron retention was also discovered in the RASopathy Noonan syndrome, due to intronic mutations disrupting splicing, and diverse solid tumors. These data uncover minor intron recognition as a regulator of hematopoiesis, noncoding mutations within minor introns as cancer drivers, and links between ZRSR2 mutations, LZTR1 regulation, and leukemias.

Taxonomy of introns, their evolution, and the role of minor introns in stress response

Project description:Despite the high conservation of minor introns across eukaryotic supergroups, specific lineages have completely lost minor intron splicing, which has raised questions about their evolution and purpose. Addressing these questions requires identification of the introns that are affected by minor spliceosome inhibition. To this end, we applied principles of Linnaean taxonomy combined with position-weight matrices to produce five intron classes: minor, minor-like, hybrid, major-like and major. We classified introns across the genomes of 263 species of six eukaryotic supergroups, which can be viewed at the Minor Intron Database (MIDB). Transcriptomic analysis revealed that ~40% of the minor introns are responsive to minor spliceosome inhibition, while an additional 5% of the minor-like and hybrid introns are also affected. We propose that minor-like introns represent an intermediate in the conversion of minor to major introns and uncover the importance of a guanine at the -1 position of the 5’ splice site in facilitating this shift in spliceosome dependence. Finally, we find that minor introns are aberrantly spliced in fish and plants upon cold stress, thereby providing a potential explanation for their high degree of conservation in these lineages.

p53 ablation fails to completely rescue microcephaly caused by impaired minor intron splicing

Project description:Mutations in the minor spliceosome components such as RNU4atac, a small nuclear RNA (snRNA), are linked to primary microcephaly. We have reported that in the conditional knockout (cKO) mice for Rnu11, a minor spliceosome snRNA, minor intron splicing defect in minor intron-containing genes (MIGs) regulating cell cycle resulted in cell cycle defect with a concomitant increase in yH2aX+ cells and P53-mediated apoptosis. Trp53 ablation in the Rnu11 cKO mice did not prevent microcephaly. Although RNAseq analysis of the double knockout (dKO) pallium reflected transcriptomic shift towards the control from the cKO. We found elevated minor intron retention and alternative splicing across minor introns in the dKO. Disruption of these minor intron-containing genes (MIGs) resulted in cell cycle defect that was detected earlier and was more severe in the dKO, but with delayed detection of yH2aX+ DNA damage. Thus, P53 might also play a role in causing DNA damage in the developing pallium. In all, our findings further refine our understanding of the role of the minor spliceosome in cortical development and identify MIGs underpinning microcephaly in minor spliceosome-related disease.

Minor intron retention drives clonal hematopoietic disorders and diverse cancer predisposition.

Project description:Most metazoans contain two distinct pre-mRNA splicing machineries: the major spliceosome, which removes >99% of introns, and the minor spliceosome, which recognizes <1% of introns. Despite their rarity, minor introns are exquisitely conserved amongst species, suggesting important regulatory functions. However, physiologic roles for the minor spliceosome and the relevance of recurrent, leukemia-associated mutations affecting minor spliceosome components are not well understood. Here, we identify that mutational loss of the minor spliceosomal factor ZRSR2 enhances hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal via impaired minor intron splicing that converges on LZTR1, a regulator of Ras-related GTPases. LZTR1 minor intron retention is additionally observed in Noonan syndrome and diverse cancers. These data uncover minor intron recognition as a regulator of hematopoiesis and mechanistic links between ZRSR2 mutations, LZTR1, and leukemia.

Minor spliceosome inactivation in the developing mouse cortex causes self-amplifying radial glial cell death and microcephaly.

Project description:Inactivation of the minor spliceosome has been linked to microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type 1 (MOPD1). To interrogate how minor intron splicing regulates cortical development, we employed Emx1-Cre to ablate Rnu11, which encodes the minor spliceosome-specific U11 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), in the developing cortex (pallium). Rnu11 cKO mice were born with microcephaly, caused by death of self-amplifying radial glial cells (RGCs). However, both intermediate progenitor cells (IPCs) and neurons were produced in the U11-null pallium. RNAseq of the pallium revealed elevated minor intron retention in the mutant, particularly in genes regulating cell cycle. Moreover, the only downregulated minor intron-containing gene (MIG) was Spc24, which regulates kinetochore assembly. These findings were consistent with the observation of fewer RGCs entering cytokinesis prior to RGC loss, underscoring the requirement of minor splicing for cell cycle progression in RGCs. Overall, we provide a potential explanation of how disruption of minor splicing might cause microcephaly in MOPD1.

Recurrent TCF12 mutations in anaplastic oligodendroglioma

Project description:A Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net: Anaplastic oligodendrogliomas (AOs) are rare primary brain tumors which are generally incurable with few treatment targets identified. Most oligodendrogliomas have chromosome 1p/19q co-deletion and IDH mutation. We analyzed 51 AOs by whole-exome and/or transcriptome sequencing identifying previously reported frequent somatic mutations in CIC and FUBP1 genes. We also identified recurrent mutations in TCF12 (11% of IDHmut-codel) which encodes basic helix-loop-helix (bHLFH) transcription factor 12 which is an oligodendrocyte-related transcription factor in IDHmut-codel tumors. Strikingly, the somatic mutations (encoding E548R and R602M substitutions) have not been reported previously in cancer but are identical to germline mutations causing craniosynostosis. Incorporating TCGA data on 43 AO tumors also implicates functional mutation of SMARCA4, NOTCH1, NOTCH2, SETD2, RBPJ and ARID1A/1B. These data are compatible with the combined deregulation of metabolism, chromatin organization/remodeling and Notch-pathway genes in AO oncogenesis. Our analysis provides further insights into the unique and shared pathways driving AO and new targets for therapeutic intervention.
