Uridylation of mature miRNAs and siRNAs by the MUT68 nucleotidyltransferase promotes their degradation in Chlamydomonas

ABSTRACT: Regulation of gene expression by small RNAs (∼20–30 nucleotides in length) plays an essential role in developmental pathways and defense responses against genomic parasites in eukaryotes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) commonly direct the inactivation of cognate sequences through a variety of mechanisms, including RNA degradation, translation inhibition, and transcriptional repression. Recent studies have provided considerable insight into the biogenesis and the mode of action of miRNAs and siRNAs. However, relatively little is known about mechanisms of quality control and small RNA decay in RNA interference (RNAi) pathways. Here we show that deletion of MUT68, encoding a terminal nucleotidyltransferase in the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, results in elevated miRNA and siRNA levels. We found that MUT68 plays a role in the untemplated uridylation of the 3′ ends of small RNAs in vivo and stimulates their degradation by the RRP6 exosome subunit in vitro. Moreover, RRP6 depletion also leads to accumulation of small RNAs in vivo. We propose that MUT68 and RRP6 cooperate in the degradation of mature miRNAs and siRNAs, as a quality control mechanism to eliminate dysfunctional or damaged small RNA molecules. Keywords: small RNA

Substrate discrimination and quality control require each catalytic activity of TRAMP and the nuclear RNA exosome

Project description:Abstract: Quality control requires discrimination between functional and aberrant species to selectively target substrates for destruction. Nuclear RNA quality control in Saccharomyces cerevisiae includes the TRAMP complex that marks RNA for decay via polyadenylation and helicase-dependent 3′ to 5′ degradation by the RNA exosome. Using reconstitution biochemistry we show that polyadenylation and helicase activities of TRAMP cooperate with processive and distributive exoribonuclease activities of the nuclear RNA exosome to selectively target and degrade an unmodified tRNA while leaving native tRNA intact. Inactivation of the distributive exoribonuclease activity of Rrp6 results in loss of substrate discrimination, leading to degradation of all RNAs. These data suggest that the activities of the Mtr4 helicase and Rrp6 exoribonuclease endow the TRAMP-RNA exosome complex with the ability to protect stable RNA while degrading defective RNA species. Rrp6 and its 3′-5′ exonuclease activity have previously been shown to contribute to quality control and processing of various types of nuclear RNAs. Our sequencing analysis further confirms that Rrp6 contributes to this process.

RST1 and RIPR connect the cytosolic RNA exosome to the SKI complex in Arabidopsis

Project description:The RNA exosome is a key 3’-5’ exoribonuclease with evolutionary conserved structure and roles. Its cytosolic functions require the co-factors SKI7 and the Ski complex. Here we demonstrate by co-purification experiments that the ARM repeat protein RESURRECTION1 (RST1) and RST1 INTERACTING PROTEIN (RIPR) connect the cytosolic Arabidopsis RNA exosome to the Ski complex. rst1 and ripr mutants accumulate small RNAs many of which are quality control siRNAs (rqc-siRNAs) produced by the postranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS) machinery when mRNA degradation is compromised. Indeed, quasi identical small RNA populations are observed in mutants lacking the RRP45B/CER7 subunit of the core exosome. This biochemical and genetic evidence supports a physical and functional link between RST1, RIPR and the RNA exosome. Our data reveal the existence of additional cytosolic exosome co-factors besides the known SKI subunits. Interestingly, RST1 is not restricted to plants, as homologues with a similar domain architecture exist in animals, including humans.

AGO2 protects Drosophila siRNAs and microRNAs from target-directed degradation, even in the absence of 2′-O-methylation

Project description:Target-directed degradation (TDD) of microRNAs (miRNAs) plays an important role in shaping miRNA abundances across bilateria. Some endogenous small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) of Drosophila cells have target sites resembling those that trigger miRNA TDD, raising the question as to whether they too might undergo such regulation. Here, we find that at least seven of these siRNAs are indeed sensitive to TDD when loaded into AGO1, the Argonaute paralog that preferentially associates with miRNAs. Despite this sensitivity when loaded into AGO1, these siRNAs are not detectably regulated by TDD because most molecules are loaded into AGO2, the Argonaute paralog that preferentially associates with siRNAs, and we find that siRNAs and miRNAs loaded into AGO2 are insensitive to TDD. One explanation for the protection of these small RNAs loaded into AGO2 is that these small RNAs are 2′-O-methylated at their 3′ termini. However, contrary to previous proposals, 2′-O-methylation does not protect these RNAs from TDD, which indicates that their protection is instead conferred by features of the AGO2 protein itself. Together, these observations clarify the requirements for regulation by TDD and revise our understanding of the role of 2′-O-methylation in small-RNA biology.

Small RNA identification in Arabidopsis thaliana using 454 data

Project description:The Arabidopsis genome contains a highly complex and abundant population of small RNAs, and many of the endogenous siRNAs are dependent on RNA-DEPENDENT RNA POLYMERASE 2 (RDR2) for their biogenesis. By analyzing an rdr2 loss-of-function mutant using two different parallel sequencing technologies, MPSS and 454, we characterized the complement of miRNAs expressed in Arabidopsis inflorescence to considerable depth. Nearly all known miRNAs were enriched in this mutant and we identified 13 new miRNAs, all of which were relatively low abundance and constitute new families. Trans-acting siRNAs (ta-siRNAs) were even more highly enriched. Computational and gel blot analyses suggested that the minimal number of miRNAs in Arabidopsis is approximately 155. The size profile of small RNAs in rdr2 reflected enrichment of 21-nt miRNAs and other classes of siRNAs like ta-siRNAs, and a significant reduction in 24-nt heterochromatic siRNAs. Other classes of small RNAs were found to be RDR2-independent, particularly those derived from long inverted repeats and a subset of tandem repeats. The small RNA populations in other Arabidopsis small RNA biogenesis mutants were also examined; a dcl2/3/4 triple mutant showed a similar pattern to rdr2, whereas dcl1-7 and rdr6 showed reductions in miRNAs and ta-siRNAs consistent with their activities in the biogenesis of these types of small RNAs. Deep sequencing of mutants provides a genetic approach for the dissection and characterization of diverse small RNA populations and the identification of low abundance miRNAs.

In plants, decapping prevents RDR6-dependent production of small interfering RNAs from endogenous mRNAs

Project description:Background: Cytoplasmic degradation of endogenous RNAs is an integral part of RNA quality control (RQC) and often relies on the removal of the 5' cap structure and their subsequent 5M-bM-^@M-^Y to 3M-bM-^@M-^Y degradation. In parallel, many eukaryotes degrade exogenous and selected endogenous RNAs through post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS). In plants, PTGS depends on small interfering (si)RNAs produced after the conversion of single-stranded RNAs to double-stranded RNAs by the cellular RNA DEPENDENT RNA POLYMERASE 6 (RDR6). PTGS and RQC compete for transgene-derived RNAs, but it is unknown whether this competition also occurs for endogenous transcripts. Results: We show that that upon decapping impairment hundreds of endogenous mRNAs give rise to a new class of siRNAs, a subset of which depends on RDR6 for their production. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the decapping of aberrant endogenous RNA in P-bodies limits their entry into the PTGS pathway and prevents the subsequent deleterious consequences arising from this entry. We anticipate that the siRNAs identified in decapping mutants represent a subset of a larger ensemble of endogenous siRNAs that we coin rqc-siRNAs because they accumulate when RQC processes are impaired. Small RNA-seq experiments performed in duplicates for each condition.

Synergistic and independent actions of multiple terminal nucleotidyl transferases in 3’ tailing of small RNAs in Arabidopsis

Project description:Small silencing RNAs are key regulators of gene expression in both plants and animals. HEN1-mediated 3’ terminal 2’-O-methylation plays a crucial role in small RNA stability control. In the absence of HEN1, small RNAs are frequently uridylated (untemplated uridine addition) and trimmed, a phenomenon that is conserved across species. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is largely unknown. In this study, we have discovered UTP: RNA uridylyltransferase (URT1) acts redundantly with HESO1 in the uridylation of miRNAs, in addition to its role in oligo-adenylated mRNA uridylation. We show both common and distinctive features of URT1 and HESO1 in catalyzing miRNA uridylation. non coding RNA deep sequencing

High-throughput sequencing of Pol IV and RDR2 transcripts, and their DCL3-diced products, generated from an M13mp18 (+) strand DNA template

Project description:In plants, the biogenesis of 24 nt and 23 nt small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) requires NUCLEAR RNA POLYMERASE IV (Pol IV), RNA-DEPENDENT RNA POLYMERASE 2 (RDR2) and DICER-LIKE 3 (DCL3). We show that single-stranded M13 bacteriophage DNA can be used as a template for siRNA synthesis in vitro. Deep sequencing of RNAs produced from the in vitro reactions of Pol IV, RDR2 and DCL3 shows that Pol IV transcribes the DNA into first-strand RNAs which RDR2 then uses as templates to synthesize complementary second strands. These siRNA precursor transcripts made by Pol IV and RDR2 are mostly 30-50 nt. An untemplated 3' terminal nucleotide is a characteristic of RDR2 transcripts. DCL3 dicing of double-stranded precursor RNAs synthesized by Pol IV and RDR2 generates siRNAs that are mostly 24 nt, with a smaller population of 23 nt also produced.

Yeast exosome: immunoprecipitation 2

Project description:Nuclear RNA degradation pathways are highly conserved across eukaryotes and play important roles in RNA quality control. Key substrates for exosomal degradation include aberrant functional RNAs and cryptic unstable transcripts (CUTs). It has recently been reported that the nuclear exosome is inactivated during meiosis in budding yeast through degradation of the subunit Rrp6, leading to the stabilisation of a subset of meiotic unstable transcripts (MUTs) of unknown function. We have analysed the activity of the nuclear exosome during meiosis by deletion of TRF4, which encodes a key component of the exosome targeting complex TRAMP. We find that TRAMP mutants produce high levels of CUTs during meiosis which are undetectable in wild-type cells, suggesting that the nuclear exosome remains functional, and we further show that the meiotic exosome complex still contains Rrp6. Indeed Rrp6 over-expression is insufficient to suppress MUT transcripts, showing that the reduced amount of Rrp6 in meiotic cells does not directly cause MUT accumulation. Lack of TRAMP activity stabilises ~1600 CUTs in meiotic cells, which occupy 40% of the binding capacity of the nuclear cap binding complex (CBC). CBC mutants display defects in the formation of meiotic double strand breaks (DSBs), and we see similar defects in TRAMP mutants, suggesting that a key function of the nuclear exosome is to prevent saturation of the CBC complex by CUTs. Together, our results show that the nuclear exosome remains active in meiosis and has an important role in facilitating meiotic recombination.
