Alternative Polyadenylation by Sequential Activation of Distal and Proximal PolyA Sites

ABSTRACT: Analogous to alternative splicing, alternative polyadenylation (APA) has long been thought to result from competition between proximal and distal polyA sites. By Fractionation-seq, we unexpectedly identified several hundred APA genes where their distal polyA isoforms are retained in chromatin/nuclear matrix and proximal polyA isoforms released into the cytoplasm. Global metabolic PAS-seq and Nanopore long-read RNA-seq provided further evidence that the strong distal polyA sites are first processed and the resulting transcripts are anchored in chromatin/nuclear matrix for further processing at proximal polyA sites and removal of certain slowly spliced introns. By engineering an autocleavable ribozyme between the proximal and distal polyA sites, we demonstrated that the distal polyA isoform is indeed the precursor to the proximal polyA isoform. Therefore, unlike alternative splicing, APA sites are recognized independently, rather than competitively, and in many cases, in a sequential manner. This provides a versatile strategy to regulate gene expression in mammalian cells.

m6A level and isoform characterization sequencing (m6A-LAIC-seq) reveal the census and complexity of the m6A epitranscriptome

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a widespread reversible chemical modification of RNAs, implicated in many aspects of RNA metabolism. Little quantitative information exists as to either how many transcript copies of particular genes are m6A modified (âm6A levelsâ), or the relationship of m6A modification(s) to alternative RNA isoforms. To deconvolute the m6A epitranscriptome, we developed m6A level and isoform-characterization sequencing (m6A-LAIC-seq). We found that cells exhibit a broad range of non-stoichiometric m6A levels with cell type specificity. At the level of isoform characterization, we discovered widespread differences in use of tandem alternative polyadenylation (APA) sites by methylated and nonmethylated transcript isoforms of individual genes. Strikingly, there is a strong bias for methylated transcripts to be coupled with proximal APA sites, resulting in shortened 3â untranslated regions (3â-UTRs), while nonmethylated transcript isoforms tend to use distal APA sites. m6A-LAIC-seq yields a new perspective on transcriptome complexity and links APA usage to m6A modifications. m6A-LAIC-seq of H1-ESC and GM12878 cell lines, each cell line has two replicates

Regulation of alternative cleavage and polyadenylation by 3’ end processing and splicing factors

Project description:Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) results in mRNA isoforms containing different 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs) and/or coding sequences. How core cleavage and polyadenylation (C/P) factors regulate APA is not well understood. Using siRNA knockdown coupled with deep sequencing, we found that several C/P factors can play significant roles in 3’UTR-APA. Whereas Pcf11 and Fip1 enhance usage of proximal poly(A) sites (pAs), CFI-25/68, PABPN1, and PABPC1 promote usage of distal pAs. Strong cis element biases were found for pAs regulated by CFI or Fip1, and the distance between pAs plays an important role in APA regulation. In addition, intronic pAs are substantially regulated by splicing factors, with U1 mostly influencing C/P events in 5’ introns and U2 impacting those in efficiently spliced introns. Furthermore, PABPN1 regulates expression of transcripts with pAs near the transcription start site, a property possibly related to its role in RNA degradation. Finally, we found that groups of APA events regulated by C/P factors are also modulated in cell differentiation and development with distinct trends. Together, our results indicate that the abundance of different C/P factors and splicing factors plays diverse roles in APA, and is relevant to APA regulation in biological conditions. knockdown experiments of 23 C/P factors, 3 splicing factors and U1D in mouse C2C12 myoblast cells

Alternative Isoform Regulation in Human Tissue Transcriptomes

Project description:Through alternative processing of pre-mRNAs, individual mammalian genes often produce multiple mRNA and protein isoforms that may have related, distinct or even opposing functions. Here we report an in-depth analysis of 15 diverse human tissue and cell line transcriptomes based on deep sequencing of cDNA fragments, yielding a digital inventory of gene and mRNA isoform expression. Analysis of mappings of sequence reads to exon-exon junctions indicated that ~94% of human genes undergo alternative splicing (AS), ~86% with a minor isoform frequency of 15% or more. Differences in isoform-specific read densities indicated that a majority of AS and alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) events exhibit variation between tissues. Variations in alternative mRNA isoform expression between 6 individuals were also detected in cerebellar cortex, with ~2- to 3-fold less isoform variation observed between individuals than between tissues. Extreme or 'switch-like' regulation of splicing between tissues was associated with increased sequence conservation and with generation of full-length open reading frames. Patterns of AS and APA were strongly correlated across tissues, suggesting coordinated regulation, and sequence conservation of known regulatory motifs in both regulated introns and 3' UTRs suggested common involvement of the same factors in regulation of tissue-specific splicing and polyadenylation.

Downregulation of CFIm25 amplifies dermal fibrosis through Alternative Polyadenylation

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc - scleroderma) is a multi-system, fibrotic disease affecting skin and internal organs. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) involves the differential usage of polyadenylation signals, which gives rise to transcripts with variable 3'UTR length. The mammalian Cleavage factor I 25kDa subunit (CFIm25, encoded by NUDT21) is a key regulator of alternative polyadenylation APA and its depletion causes predominantly 3'UTR shortening through loss of stimulation of distal polyA sites resulting in increased used of proximal polyA sites. A shortened 3'UTR will often lack microRNA target sites, resulting in increased mRNA translation due to evasion of microRNA-mediated gene repression. Herein, we report that CFlm25 is downregulated in SSc skin, and primary dermal fibroblasts, andas well as in two murine models of dermal fibrosis.The purpose of this experiment is to identify the APA targets of CFIm25 in human skin fibroblasts. Following the knockdown of CFIm25 in normal human skin fibroblasts, we identified 971 genes with shortened 3’UTRs, including those involved in the transforming growth factor-beta signaling pathway.

To investigate the decay constants (half-lives) of transcript isoforms generated by alternative polyadenylation in proliferating and quiescent cells

Project description:Purpose: Alternative polyadenylation (APA) can result in the generation of transcripts that terminate at different locations within the gene, which can result in different 3' UTRs. 3´ UTRs are known to contain RNA stabilizing and destabilizing motifs that provide a platform for binding of RNA binding proteins. Changes in 3´ UTRs for the different APA-generated isoforms of a gene could allow for inclusion or exclusion of these RNA stability elements. The goal of this study is determine the stability (half-lives based on transcript decay) of APA isoforms in proliferating and quiescent cells. Methods: The proliferating and quiescent (7-day contact inhibited) cells were treated with actinomycin D to stop transcription and the cells were harvested at different time points (0. 2, 4, 8 hours) for RNA isolation and global sequencing of 3´ ends. The adaptors and polyA sequenced were trimmed from each read. The reads were aligned to the human genome (hg19) using TopHat (v2.0.14). The aligned read files were used to determine the counts of APA isoforms of each gene using the code provided by Gruber et al. (PMID: 27382025). The counts of the APA isoforms were fit to an exponential decay model to obtain half-lives. The entire workflow was performed for two biological replicates: 12-1 and 12-3 strains of human dermal fibroblasts. Results: In two different fibroblast strains (12-1 and 12-3), we found that isoforms terminating at distal polyadenylation sites were more stable than isoforms terminating at proximal polyadenylation sites in quiescent, but not proliferating, fibroblasts. Conclusions: The transition from shorter to longer isoforms in quiescent cells is associated with stabilization of the transcripts.

Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation analysis in an isoform-resolved way by Second- and Third-Generation Sequencing technologies

Project description:Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) is emerging as an important mechanism of gene regulation in eukaryotes and plays important regulatory roles in human development and diseases. Despite the widespread application of Second Generation Sequencing (SGS) technology for polyadenylation site identification, matching each identified polyadenylation site within a gene to its derived isoform remains a major challenge. To achieve the isoform-resolved APA analysis, we developed a tool termed “IDP-APA” that constructs truly expressed isoforms and identifies polyadenylation sites by integrating the respective strengths of Third Generation Sequencing (TGS) long reads and SGS short reads. Compared to existing tools, IDP-APA demonstrated superior performance in both isoform reconstruction and polyadenylation site identification. Applications to human embryonic stem cells, breast cancer cells and brain tissue from a patient with Alzheimer’s disease revealed prevalent APA events and cell-/tissue-specific APA patterns, especially in an isoform-resolved way.
