A dual-activity topoisomerase complex regulates mRNA translation and turnover

ABSTRACT: Topoisomerase 3β (TOP3B) and TDRD3 form a dual-activity topoisomerase complex that interacts with FMRP and can change the topology of both DNA and RNA. Here, we investigated the post-transcriptional influence of TOP3B and associated proteins on mRNA translation and turnover. First, we discovered that in human HCT116 colon cancer cells, knock-out (KO) of TOP3B had similar effects on mRNA turnover and translation as did TDRD3-KO, while FMRP-KO resulted in rather distinct effects, indicating that TOP3B had stronger coordination with TDRD3 than FMRP in mRNA regulation. Second, we identified TOP3B-bound mRNAs in HCT116 cells; we found that while TOP3B did not directly influence the stability or translation of most TOP3B target mRNAs, it stabilized a subset of target mRNAs but had a more complex effect on translation--enhancing for some mRNAs whereas reducing for others. Interestingly, a point mutation that specifically disrupted TOP3B catalytic activity only partially recapitulated the effects of TOP3B-KO on mRNA stability and translation, suggesting that the impact of TOP3B on target mRNAs is only in part linked to its ability to change topology of mRNAs. Collectively, our data suggest that TOP3B-TDRD3 can regulate mRNA translation and turnover by mechanisms that are dependent and independent of topoisomerase activity.

A dual-activity topoisomerase complex promotes both transcriptional activation and repression in response to starvation

Project description:Topoisomerases are required to release topological stress generated by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) during transcription. Here we show that in response to starvation, the complex of topoisomerase 3b (TOP3B) and TDRD3 can promote transcriptional activation or repression. Human HCT116 cells individually inactivated for TOP3B, TDRD3, or TOP3B topoisomerase activity, exhibit similarly disrupted transcription for both starvation-activated genes (SAGs) and starvation-repressed genes (SRGs). Responding to starvation, both TOP3B-TDRD3 and the elongating form of RNAPII exhibit concomitantly increased binding to TOP3B-dependent SAGs, at binding sites that overlap. Strikingly, TOP3B inactivation decreases the binding of elongating RNAPII to TOP3B-dependent SAGs while increased it to SRGs. Furthermore, TOP3B-ablated cells display reduced transcription of several autophagy-associated genes and autophagy per se. Our data suggest that TOP3B-TDRD3 can promote both transcriptional activation and repression by regulating RNAPII distribution. In addition, the findings that it can facilitate autophagy may account for the shortened lifespan of Top3b-KO mice.

Topoisomerase 3b is essential for neuronal activity-dependent transcription, neurogenesis, and synaptic and behavioral neuroplasticity

Project description:Topoisomerase 3b (Top3b) is the only dual-activity topoisomerase in animals that can change topology for both DNA and RNA, and facilitate transcription on DNA and translation on mRNAs. Top3b mutation has been linked to schizophrenia, autism, epilepsy, and cognitive impairment. However, whether and how Top3b mutations are causal to these disorders remain unclear. Here we show that Top3b knockout mice exhibit behavioral phenotypes related to psychiatric disorders and cognitive impairment, including increased anxiety and fear, abnormal social interactions, impaired context discrimination, and defective spatial learning and memory. In addition, these mice display deficits in adult hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. Notably, the brains of the mutant mice exhibit impaired global neuronal activity-dependent transcription in response to fear conditioning stress, and the affected genes include many that are critical for neuronal functions and mental health. Our data suggest that Top3b is essential for normal brain function in multiple domains, and defective neuronal activity-dependent transcription may be a mechanism by which Top3b deletion causes cognitive impairment and psychiatric disorders.

TDRD3 promotes DHX9 chromatin recruitment and R-loop resolution

Project description:R-loops, which consist of a DNA/RNA hybrid and a displaced single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), are increasingly recognized as critical regulators of chromatin biology. R-loops are particularly enriched at gene promoters, where they play important roles in regulating gene expression. However, the molecular mechanisms that control promoter-associated R-loops remain unclear. The epigenetic “reader” Tudor domain-containing protein 3 (TDRD3), which recognizes methylarginine marks on histones and on the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II, was previously shown to recruit DNA topoisomerase 3B (TOP3B) to relax negatively supercoiled DNA and prevent R-loop formation. Here, we further characterize the function of TDRD3 in R-loop metabolism and introduce the DExH-box helicase 9 (DHX9) as a novel interaction partner of the TDRD3/TOP3B complex. TDRD3 directly interacts with DHX9 via its Tudor domain. This interaction is important for recruiting DHX9 to target gene promoters, where it resolves R-loops in a helicase activity-dependent manner to facilitate gene expression. Additionally, TDRD3 also stimulates the helicase activity of DHX9. This stimulation relies on the OB-fold of TDRD3, which likely binds the ssDNA in the R-loop structure. Thus, DHX9 functions together with TOP3B to suppress promoter-associated R-loops. Collectively, these findings reveal new functions of TDRD3 and provide important mechanistic insights into the regulation of R-loop metabolism.

Comparison of total and polyribosome-associated mRNA levels in male Fmr1 KO mice and male WT littermates

Project description:The Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein, FMRP, is thought to regulate the translation of a specific set of neuronal mRNAs on polyribosomes. Therefore, we prepared polyribosomes on sucrose gradients and purified mRNA specifically from these fractions, as well as the total mRNA levels, to determine whether a set of mRNAs might be changed in its % association with polyribosomes in the absence of FMRP in the KO mouse model. No significant differences were found, other than the Fmr1 transcript itself, in total mRNA levels or % polyribosome association that withstood multiple test correction, in P7 Fmr1 KO mouse cerebral cortex compared with WT littermates.. We prepared polyribosomes on sucrose gradients from 6 littermate pairs of Fmr1 KO and WT littermates (FVB background, P7 males, cerebral cortex) and purified RNA from both polyribosomal fractions and input to the gradient, reflecting total mRNA levels for comparison.

Top3β is an RNA topoisomerase that works with Fragile X syndrome protein to promote synapse formation

Project description:Topoisomerases are crucial to solve DNA topological problems, but they have not been linked to RNA metabolism. Here we show that human topoisomerase 3β (Top3β) is an RNA topoisomerase that biochemically and genetically interacts with FMRP, a protein deficient in Fragile X syndrome and known to regulate translation of mRNAs important for neuronal function and autism. Notably, the FMRP-Top3β interaction is abolished by a disease-associated FMRP mutation, and several human genetic studies link Top3β mutation to schizophrenia and intellectual disability. Top3β binds multiple mRNAs encoded by genes with neuronal functions related to schizophrenia and autism. Expression of one such gene, ptk2/FAK, is reduced in neuromuscular junctions of Top3β mutant flies. Synapse formation is defective in Top3β mutant flies and mice, as observed in FMRP mutant animals. Our findings suggest that Top3β acts as an RNA topoisomerase and works with FMRP to promote expression of mRNAs critical for neurodevelopment and mental health.

Topoisomerase 3B Interacts with RNAi Machinery to Promote Heterochromatin Formation and Transcriptional Silencing

Project description:Topoisomerases solve topological problems during DNA metabolism, but whether they participate in RNA metabolism remains unclear. Top3b represents a new family of topoisomerases carrying activities for both DNA and RNA. Here we show that in Drosophila, Top3b interacts biochemically and genetically with the RNAi-induced silencing complex (RISC) containing AGO2, p68 RNA helicase, and FMRP. Top3b and RISC mutants are defective in heterochromatin formation and transcriptional silencing by position-effect variegation assay; and this defect is suppressed in their double mutants. Moreover, both Top3b and AGO2 single mutants exhibit reduced heterochromatin protein HP1 in pericentric heterochromatin; and this reduction is also suppressed in their double mutant. Furthermore, expression of several genes and transposable elements (TEs) in heterochromatin is increased in the Top3b mutant. Notably, Top3b mutants defective in either RNA binding or catalytic activity are deficient in promoting HP1 recruitment and silencing of TEs. Our data suggest that Top3b acts as an RNA topoisomerase in siRNA-guided heterochromatin formation and transcriptional silencing.
