Ubiquitous mRNA decay fragments in E. coli redefine the functional transcriptome

ABSTRACT: Bacterial mRNAs have short life cycles, in which transcription is rapidly followed by translation and degradation within seconds to minutes. The resulting diversity of mRNA molecules across different life-cycle stages impacts their functionality but has remained unresolved. Here we quantitatively map the 3’ status of cellular RNAs in Escherichia coli during steady-state growth and report a large fraction of molecules (median>60%) that are fragments of canonical full-length mRNAs. The majority of RNA fragments are decay intermediates, whereas nascent RNAs contribute to a smaller fraction. Despite the prevalence of decay intermediates in total cellular RNA, these intermediates are underrepresented in the pool of ribosome-associated transcripts and can thus distort quantifications and differential expression analyses for the abundance of full-length, functional mRNAs. The large heterogeneity within mRNA molecules in vivo highlights the importance in discerning functional transcripts and provides a lens for studying the dynamic life cycle of mRNAs.

Arabidopsis mRNA decay landscape shaped by XRN 5′-3′ exoribonucleases

Project description:XRN 5′-3′ exoribonucleases play crucial roles in the control of RNA processing, quality, and quantity in eukaryotes. Although genome-wide profiling of RNA decay fragments is now feasible, how XRNs shape the plant mRNA degradome remains elusive. Here, we profiled and analyzed the RNA degradomes of the Arabidopsis wild type and mutants with defects in XRN activity. Deficiency of nuclear XRN3 or cytoplasmic XRN4 but not nuclear XRN2 activity largely altered Arabidopsis mRNA decay profiles. In addition to the primary XRN4 substrates derived from decapping and microRNA-directed slicing, terminating ribosome- and exon junction complex-protected fragments produced from XRN4-mediated cytoplasmic decay also represent the most abundant decay intermediates of Arabidopsis mRNAs. Short excised linear introns and cleaved pre-mRNA fragments downstream of polyadenylation sites were polyadenylated and stabilized in the xrn3 mutant, demonstrating the function of XRN3 in the removal of cleavage remnants from pre-mRNA processing. Further analysis of stabilized XRN3 substrates confirmed that polyadenylation cleavage frequently occurs after an adenosine. An increase in decay intermediates with 5′ ends upstream of a consensus motif in the xrn4 mutant suggests an endonucleolytic cleavage mechanism targeting the 3′ untranslated region of many Arabidopsis mRNAs. However, analysis of decay fragments stabilized in the xrn4 mutant indicated that, except for microRNA-directed slicing, endonucleolytic cleavage events in the coding sequence might rarely result in major decay intermediates. Together, the results of this study reveal major substrates and products of nuclear and cytoplasmic XRNs along Arabidopsis transcripts and provide a basis for precise interpretation of RNA degradome data.

EnD-Seq and AppEnD: Sequencing 3' ends to identify non-templated tails and degradation intermediates

Project description:Existing methods for detecting RNA intermediates resulting from exonuclease degradation are low-throughput and laborious. In addition, mapping the 3’ ends of RNA molecules to the genome after high-throughput sequencing is challenging, particularly if the 3’ ends contain posttranscriptional modifications. To address these problems, we developed EnD-Seq, a high-throughput sequencing protocol that preserves the 3’ end of RNA molecules, and AppEnD, a computational method for analyzing high-throughput sequencing data. Together these allow determination of the 3’ ends of RNA molecules, including nontemplated additions. Applying EnD-Seq and AppEnD to histone mRNAs revealed that a significant fraction of cytoplasmic histone mRNAs end in one or two uridines, which have replaced the 1-2 nts at the 3’ end of mature histone mRNA maintaining the length of the histone transcripts. Histone genes in fly embryos and ovaries show the same pattern, but with different tail nucleotide compositions. We increase the sensitivity of EnD-Seq by using cDNA priming to specifically enrich low-abundance tails of known sequence composition allowing identification of degradation intermediates. In addition, we show the broad applicability of our computational approach by using AppEnD to gain insight into 3’ additions from diverse types of sequencing data, including data from small capped RNA sequencing and some alternative polyadenylation protocols.

RNase J is required for processing of a small number of RNAs in Rhodobacter sphaeroides

Project description:A comparative RNA-seq approach between R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 wild type and an RNase J deletion strain 2.4.1∆rnj revealed the accumulation of different mRNA fragments in the mutant. The structural characteristics of these RNA fragments suggest that RNase J is responsible for the decay of degradation intermediates that cannot serve as substrates for the 3´-to-5´ exoribonucleases.

Proteomics analysis of the effect of deletion of PUF3 on yeast via LC-MSMS.

Project description:The Puf family of RNA-binding proteins regulate the expression of genes by controlling protein synthesis or stimulating RNA decay. Puf3p is one of six Puf-family members in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Puf3p has been characterised previously as regulating mRNA decay of nuclear mRNAs that encode for mitochondrial proteins. We undertook a series of genome wide approaches to identify an expanded set of Puf3p target mRNAs and to quantitatively assess the impact of loss of PUF3 on the expression control in actively growing wild type and puf3Δ strains. Here we report our quantifications of relative protein levels. The data suggest that loss of Puf3p only impacts on a small proportion of the proteins encoded by its mRNA targets.

Mathematical modeling of Trypanosoma brucei transcription

Project description:Trypanosome RNA polymerase II transcription is polycistronic, individual mRNAs being excised by trans splicing and polyadenylation. In this study, we refined the previously published mathematical model for bloodstream form parasites and extended it to the procyclic form. We used the model, together with known mRNA half-lives, to predict the abundances of individual mRNAs, assuming rapid, unregulated mRNA processing; then we compared the results with measured mRNA abundances. Remarkably, the abundances of most mRNAs in procyclic forms are predicted quite well by the model, being largely explained by variations in mRNA decay rates and length. In bloodstream forms substantially more mRNAs are less abundant than predicted. We list mRNAs that are likely to show particularly slow or inefficient processing, either in both forms or with developmental regulation. We also measured ribosome occupancies of all mRNAs in trypanosomes grown in the same conditions as were used to measure mRNA turnover. In procyclic forms there was a weak positive correlation between ribosome density and mRNA half-life, suggesting cross-talk between translation and mRNA decay; ribosome density was related to the proportion of the mRNA on polysomes, indicating control of translation initiation. Ribosomal protein mRNAs in procyclics appeared to be exceptionally rapidly processed but poorly translated. Through this study, we conclude that lLevels of mRNAs in procyclic form trypanosomes are determined mainly by length and mRNA decay, with some control of precursor processing. In bloodstream forms variations in nuclear events play a larger role in transcriptome regulation, suggesting acquisition of new control mechanisms during adaptation to mammalian parasitism. Ribosome profiling and mRNA libraries were constructed in triplicate from in vitro PCF and in duplicate from in vitro T. brucei Lister427, to understand global differntial gene transcription.

Global analysis of mRNA decay intermediates in Bacillus subtilis wild-type and polynucleotide phosphorylase-deletion strains

Project description:Messenger RNA decay in Bacillus subtilis is accomplished by a combination of exoribonucleases and endoribonucleases. Intermediates in the decay process have not been readily detectable, and previous studies on mRNA decay have used a handful of highly expressed transcripts as models. Here, we use RNA‐Seq analysis to probe mRNA turnover globally. A significant fraction of messages showed differential accumulation of RNA fragments that mapped near the 5′ or 3′ end of the coding sequence, consistent with initiation of decay from either the 5′ end or from an internal cleavage site. Patterns of mRNA decay in the wild type were compared with patterns in a mutant strain lacking polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), which is considered the major 3′ exonuclease activity in mRNA decay and which is one of four known 3′ exonucleases in B. subtilis. The results showed a striking dependence on PNPase for mRNA turnover in many cases, suggesting specificity in the ability of 3′ exonucleases to degrade from 3′‐hydroxyl termini. RNA‐Seq data demonstrated a sharp decrease in expression of Sigma D in the PNPase‐deletion strain. Reduction in sigD regulon expression explained the chain growth phenotype of the PNPase mutant and also predicted a defect in swarming motility.

RNase J is required for processing of a small number of RNAs in Rhodobacter sphaeroides

Project description:A comparative RNA-seq approach between R. sphaeroides 2.4.1 wild type and an RNase J deletion strain 2.4.1M-bM-^HM-^Frnj revealed the accumulation of different mRNA fragments in the mutant. The structural characteristics of these RNA fragments suggest that RNase J is responsible for the decay of degradation intermediates that cannot serve as substrates for the 3M-BM-4-to-5M-BM-4 exoribonucleases. Total RNA from exponentially grown cultures (OD660 0,4) of 2.4.1 wild type and 2.4.1M-bM-^HM-^Frnj has been isolated in triplicates using the hot phenol method and prepared for sequencing on a Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx machine.

NMD-degradome sequencing reveals ribosome-bound intermediates with 3'-end nontemplated nucleotides

Project description:Transcriptome-wide methodology is developed to capture and sequence decay intermediates deriving from direct NMD targets. Results demonstrate that mammalian-cell NMD generates decay intermediates in a process that involves the covalent addition of nontemplated U, C, G and A nucleotides to 3'-ends. Variations of this methodology demonstrate that these decay intermediates arise co-translationally.
