TRNA Over-Expression in Breast Cancer

ABSTRACT: Increased proliferation and elevated levels of protein synthesis are characteristic of transformed and tumor cells. Though components of the translation machinery are often misregulated in cancers, how tRNA plays a role in cancer cells has not been explored. We compare genome-wide tRNA expression in tumorigenic versus non-tumorigenic breast cell lines, as well as tRNA expression in breast tumors versus normal breast tissues. In tumorigenic versus non-tumorigenic cell lines, nuclear-encoded tRNAs increase by up to 3-fold and mitochondrial-encoded tRNAs increase by up to 5-fold. In tumors versus normal breast tissues, both nuclear and mitochondrial-encoded tRNAs increase by up to 10-fold. This tRNA over-expression is selective and coordinates with the properties of cognate amino acids. Nuclear- and mitochondrial-encoded tRNAs exhibit distinct expression patterns, indicating that tRNAs can be used as biomarkers for breast cancer.

Nuclear- and mitochondrial-encoded tRNAs exhibit distinct expression patterns, indicating that tRNAs can be used as biomarkers for breast cancer. We analyzed tRNA expression levels in 2 non-tumorigenic breast cell lines, 6 tumorigenic breast cancer cell lines, 3 normal breast tissue samples, and 9 breast tumor samples. We used a non-tumorigenic breast cell line (MCF10A) as a reference sample in all hybridizations. All data is dye-swapped.

METTL8 is required for 3-methylcytosine modification in human mitochondrial tRNAs

Project description:A subset of eukaryotic tRNAs is methylated in the anticodon loop to form the 3-methylcytosine (m3C) modification. In mammals, the number of tRNAs containing m3C has expanded to include mitochondrial (mt) tRNA-Ser-UGA and mt-tRNA-Thr-UGU. Whereas the enzymes catalyzing m3C formation in nuclear-encoded cytoplasmic tRNAs have been identified, the proteins responsible for m3C modification in mt-tRNAs are unknown. Here, we show that m3C formation in human mt-tRNAs is dependent upon the Methyltransferase-Like 8 (METTL8) enzyme. We find that METTL8 is a mitochondria-associated protein that interacts with mitochondrial seryl-tRNA synthetase along with mt-tRNAs containing m3C. Human cells deficient in METTL8 exhibit loss of m3C modification in mt-tRNAs but not nuclear-encoded tRNAs. Consistent with the mitochondrial import of METTL8, the formation of m3C in METTL8-deficient cells can be rescued by re-expression of wildtype METTL8 but not by a METTL8 variant lacking the N-terminal mitochondrial localization signal. Notably, METTL8-deficiency in human cells causes alterations in the native migration pattern of mt-tRNA-Ser-UGA suggesting a role for m3C in tRNA folding. Altogether, these findings demonstrate that METTL8 is required for m3C formation in mitochondrial tRNAs and uncover a potential role for m3C modification in mitochondrial tRNA structure.

Effect of QTRT2 KO on mitochondrial translation

Project description:Mitochondria are organelles that generate most of the energy in eukaryotic cells in the form of ATP via oxidative phosphorylation in eukaryote. Twenty-two species of mitochondrial (mt-)tRNAs encoded in mtDNA are required to translate essential subunits of the respiratory chain complexes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. mt-tRNAs contain post-transcriptional modifications introduced by nuclear-encoded tRNA-modifying enzymes. These modifications are required for deciphering genetic code accurately, as well as stabilizing tRNA. Loss of tRNA modifications frequently results in severe pathological consequences. We performed a comprehensive analysis of post-transcriptional modifications of all human mt-tRNAs, including 14 previously-uncharacterized species, and revised the modification status of some of the previously studied species. In total, we found 17 kinds of RNA modifications at 137 positions (8.7% in 1,575 nucleobases) in 22 species of human mt-tRNAs. An up-to-date list of 34 genes responsible for human mt-tRNA modifications are provided. We here demonstrated that both QTRT1 and QTRT2 are required for biogenesis of queuosine (Q) at position 34 of four mt-tRNAs. Our results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the mitochondrial decoding system, and could help to elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of human mitochondrial diseases caused by aberrant tRNA modifications.

Concerted regulation of mitochondrial and nuclear non-coding RNAs by a dual-targeted RNase Z [TruSeq]

Project description:The molecular roles of the dually targeted ElaC domain protein 2 (ELAC2) during nuclear and mitochondrial RNA processing in vivo have not been distinguished. We generated conditional knockout mice of ELAC2 to identify that it is essential for life and its activity is non-redundant. Heart and skeletal muscle-specific loss of ELAC2 causes dilated cardiomyopathy and premature death at 4 weeks. Transcriptome-wide analyses of total RNAs, small RNAs, mitochondrial RNAs and miRNAs identified the nuclear and mitochondrial molecular targets of ELAC2 in vivo. We show that ELAC2 is required for processing of nuclear and mitochondrial tRNAs and for the balanced maintenance of C/D box snoRNAs, a new class of tRNA fragments, and miRNAs. We identify that correct biogenesis of regulatory non-coding RNAs is essential for both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial protein synthesis as well as the assembly of mitochondrial ribosomes and cytoplasmic polysomes. Taken together our data show that nuclear tRNA processing is required for the balanced production of snoRNAs and miRNAs for gene expression and that 3′ tRNA processing follows 5′ tRNA processing but nevertheless is an essential step in the production of all mature mitochondrial RNAs and the majority of nuclear tRNAs.

Comparison of mitochondrial tRNA abundance profiling in wild type and mutant mitochondrial RNA polymerase overexpression flies.

Project description:To investigate differential mitochondrial tRNA gene expression in wild type (WT) and mutant (E423P) mitochondrial RNA polymerase (POLRMT) overexpression flies, we performed Drsophila mitochondrial tRNA-seq according to the Hydro-tRNAseq method. tRNA-seq reads were subjected to 3' - adapter filtering , 3' - adapter trimming and quality control. The tRNAs expression levels were measured by tag count. For each tRNA sequence-based profile, the mapped reads number used to estimate the expression level of each tRNA. The tRNAs expression profiling was calculated based on uniquely mapped reads and including mapped reads, respectively. We found no difference in the relative abundance of mitochondrial individual tRNAs between WT and E423P overexpression flies.

Study of the tRNA-derived fragment expression profile in mouse pancreatic islets of pre-diabetic obese db/db mice

Project description:In this study, we discovered cytosolic and mitochondrial fragments resulting from tRNA and mt-tRNA cleavage, which may act as new regulators of cellular and metabolic functions. We analyzed hundreds of these fragments in the pancreatic islets of db/db mice and compared them to heterozygous control db/+ mice. At 16 weeks of age, db/db mice exhibit obesity, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance. In our analysis, we identified 3858 tRFs in the islets of db/db mice, among which 342 exhibited significant changes (≥ 2 fold; adjusted p value ≤ 0.05) compared to controls. Of these, 199 tRFs showed increased levels, while 170 tRFs showed decreased levels in the pre-diabetic mice. Notably, a striking majority (147 out of 170) of the tRFs with reduced abundance in the islets of db/db mice were derived from the cleavage of tRNAs encoded by the mitochondrial genome. Our findings reveal a significant reshaping of mitochondrial tRFs in pre-diabetic conditions, coinciding with a well-established mitochondrial metabolic defect under these conditions. Specifically, we demonstrated that a fragment (named mt-tRF-LeuTAA) resulting from the cleavage of mt-tRNA-LeuTAA, encoded by the mitochondrial genome and found to be reduced in the islets of db/db mice, acts as a key regulator of mitochondrial OXPHOS functions, mitochondrial membrane potential, the insulin secretory capacity of ß-cells, and the insulin sensitivity of myotube muscle cells.

Hopeful monsters: Unintended sequencing of famously malformed mite mitochondrial tRNAs reveals widespread expression and processing of sense-antisense pairs

Project description:While performing mitochondrial isolations and recently developed tRNA-seq methods (AlkB treatment and YAMAT-Seq) in plant tissue, we inadvertently sequenced the mitochondrial tRNAs from a common plant pest, the acariform mite Tetranychus urticae, to a high enough coverage to detect all previously annotated T. urticae tRNA regions. The results not only confirm expression, CCA-tailing and post-transcriptional base modification of these highly divergent tRNAs, but also revealed paired sense and antisense expression of multiple T. urticae mitochondrial tRNAs.

Intronic tRNAs of mitochondrial origin regulate constitutive and alternative splicing

Project description:Background: The presence of nuclear mitochondrial DNA (numtDNA) has been reported within several nuclear genomes. Next to mitochondrial protein coding genes, numtDNA sequences also encode for mitochondrial tRNA genes. However, the biological roles of numtDNA, remain elusive. Results: Employing in silico analysis we identify 281 mitochondrial tRNA homologs in the human genome, which we term nimtRNAs (nuclear intronic mitochondrial-derived tRNAs), being contained within introns of 76 nuclear host genes. Despite base changes in nimtRNAs when compared to their mtRNA homologs, a canonical tRNA cloverleaf structure is maintained. To address potential functions of intronic nimtRNAs, we insert them into introns of constitutive and alternative splicing reporters and demonstrate that nimtRNAs promote pre-mRNA splicing, dependent on number and positioning of nimtRNA genes and splice site recognition efficiency. A mutational analysis reveals that the nimtRNA cloverleaf structure is required for the observed splicing increase. Utilizing a CRISPR/Cas9 approach we show that a partial deletion of a single endogenous nimtRNALys within intron 28 of the PPFIBP1 gene decreases inclusion of the downstream located exon 29 of the PPFIBP1 mRNA. By employing a pull-down approach followed by mass spectrometry, a 3’-splice site associated protein network is identified, including KHDRBS1, which we show directly interacts with nimtRNATyr by an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Conclusions: We propose that nimtRNAs, along with associated protein factors, can act as a novel class of intronic splicing regulatory elements in the human genome by participating in the regulation of splicing.
