Project description:We discovered that the RNA helicase DHX15 is a regulator of the methyltransferase CMTR1. To determine the biological consequences of this interaction we overexpressed CMTR1 or a mutated CMTR1 (2LA)that does not bind DHX15, in the human breast cancer cell line HCC1806. To assess the effects of the DHX15-CMTR1 interaction on translation, polysomes were separated on a sucrose gradient and sequencing libraries generated from the polysomal and input RNA. We found that the DHX15-CMTR1 interaction controls ribosome loading of a subset of mRNAs and impacts on cell proliferation.

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have emerged as essential regulators to control gene expression and modulate multiple cancer traits. T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematological malignancy derived from transformation of T-cell progenitors that normally undergo discrete steps of differentiation in the thymus. Yet implications of essential RBPs during T cell neoplastic transformation remain largely unexplored. Systematic evaluation of RBPs identifies the RNA helicase DHX15, a key subunit in the intron lariat spliceosome (ILS) complex, as a potential T-ALL dependency factor. Using cell-based functional assays and the NOTCH1-induced murine T-ALL model, we demonstrate the essential importance of DHX15 in tumor cell survival and leukemogenesis. Moreover, single-cell transcriptomics reveals that DHX15 depletion in T-cell progenitors impairs normal T-cell development and, more specifically, hinders burst proliferation during CD4-CD8-(DN)-to-CD4+CD8+(DP) transition. Mechanistically, abrogation of DHX15 induces altered RNA splicing and downregulation of SLC7A6 and SLC38A5, thereby suppressing glutamine import and mTORC1 activity. Sustained mTORC1 hyperactivation significantly rescues the DHX15-deficient phenotypes, supporting mTORC1 as a prominent downstream effector mediating the pro-proliferative role of DHX15. Moreover, we propose a DHX15 signature modulator drug ciclopirox and demonstrate the prominent anti-T-ALL efficacy. We therefore highlight DHX15 as a crucial regulator during T-cell leukemogenesis, and provide mechanistic insights that DHX15, although functioning at the end of splicing catalysis, modulates a subset of pathogenic mis-splicing events. These findings exemplify a promising therapeutic approach that splicing perturbation by targeting DHX15 may achieve robust anti-tumor efficacy.

Project description:DHX15 has been implicated in RNA splicing and ribosome biogenesis, primarily functioning as an RNA helicase. To systematically assess the cellular role of DHX15, we conducted proteomic analysis to investigate the landscape of DHX15 interactome, and identified MYC as a binding partner. DHX15 co-localizes with MYC in cells and directly interacts with MYC in vitro. Importantly, DHX15 contributes to MYC protein stability at the post-translational level and independent of its RNA binding capacity. Mechanistic investigation reveals that DHX15 interferes the interaction between MYC and FBXW7, thereby preventing MYC polyubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation. Consequently, abrogation of DHX15 drastically inhibits MYC-mediated transcriptional output. While DHX15 depletion blocks T-cell development and leukemia cell survival as we recently reported, overexpression of MYC significantly rescues the phenotypic defects. These findings shed light on the essential role of DHX15 in mammalian cells and suggest that maintaining sufficient MYC expression is a significant contributor to DHX15-mediated cellular functions.

Project description:DHX15 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase involved in pre-mRNA splicing. We have recently reported that DHX15 is a downstream substrate for Akt1, which plays a significant role in vascular biology. Therefore, we aimed to explore the regulatory function of DHX15 over the vasculature, and the endothelial cell biology in different contexts: development, metabolism, ischemia and tumor growth. Methods: Deficient DHX15 mice and zebrafish were generated using transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) and Crispr/cas9 gene edition. Lymphatic functionality was evaluated by lymphangiography and magnetic resonance imaging. Mouse-induced tumor and metastasis model were generated by injection of syngeneic LLC1 tumor cells. DHX15 gene silencing in mouse liver endothelial cells (LEC) was performed by the lentiviral transduction of shRNA (Dharmacon). The changes in the transcriptome and the proteome resulting from the shRNA transduction were investigated by RNAseq and mass spectrometry, respectively. Results: Homozygous DHX15 gene deficiency was lethal in mouse and zebrafish embryos. DHX15-/- zebrafish also showed an undeveloped parachordal line, which leads to the formation of lymphatic structures in the trunk during the development. DHX15+/- mice and zebrafish were viable, although DHX15+/- gene deficiency triggered lower vascular network density and impaired lymphatic function postnatally in mice. Whole transcriptome and proteome analysis of DHX15 silenced LEC revealed differential expression of enzymes involved in the glycolysis and the gluconeogenesis pathways. The functional validation of these results demonstrated an uncoupling of the glycolysis with the oxidation of pyruvate into the mitochondria and lower activity of the Complex I in the mitochondrial membrane, resulting in lower cellular ATP production. Noteworthy, heterozygous DHX15 deficiency partially inhibited primary tumor growth and reduced lung metastasis after injection of syngeneic LLC1 tumor cells, compared to wild-type mice

Project description:RNA helicases are critical regulators of gene expression and therefore strict regulation of their activities is essential to limit promiscuity and ensure target specify. While some RNA helicases appear dedicated for particular substrates others, such as DHX15, are multifunctional, contributing to more than one gene expression process. Protein cofactors play key roles both in modulating RNA helicase activities and also directing them to appropriate substrate RNAs. The largest family of RNA helicase cofactors, with more than 20 members expressed in human cells, are the G-patch proteins, characterised by a glycine-rich domain via which they associate with specific DEAH/RHA helicases. However, the cognate RNA helicases and cellular functions of numerous human G-patch proteins still remain elusive. Here, we reveal that the G-patch protein GPATCH4 is a cofactor of DHX15 that stimulates its ATPase activity. We show that GPATCH4 interacts with DHX15 in the nucleolus via residues in its G-patch domain and co-migrates with pre-ribosomal particles, wherein loss of DHX15 reduces pre-ribosomal co-migration of GPATCH4. Using a combination of high-throughput sequencing approaches (ChIP, CRAC and small RNA-seq), we discovered that GPATCH4 crosslinks to the ribosomal DNA locus and precursor ribosomal RNAs as well as binding to small nucleolar- and small Cajal body-associated- RNAs that guide rRNA and snRNA modifications. In line with this, using RiboMeth-seq analysis to globally analyse rRNA and snRNA 2’-O-methylation revealed that knockout of GPATCH4 impairs methylation at various sites. Utilizing targeted 2’-O-methylation-sensitive RNase H-based cleavage assays, we demonstrated that the regulation of 2’-O-methylation by GPATCH4 is both dependent on, and independent of, its interaction with DHX15. Intriguingly, the ATPase activity of DHX15 is necessary for efficient methylation of DHX15-dependent sites, suggesting a function of DHX15 in regulating snoRNA-guided 2’-O-methylation of rRNA that requires activation by GPATCH4. Overall, our findings not only extend knowledge on RNA helicase regulation by G-patch proteins but also provide important new insights into how the installation of rRNA and snRNA modifications, which are essential for ribosome assembly/function and pre-mRNA splicing, is regulated.
