LARP4 Is an RNA-Binding Protein That Binds Nuclear-Encoded Mitochondrial mRNAs To Promote Mitochondrial Function

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial associated RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have emerged as key contributors to mitochondrial biogenesis and homeostasis. With few examples described, we set out to identify RBPs that post-transcriptionally regulate nuclear-encoded mitochondrial mRNAs (NEMmRNAs). Our analysis of RNA-target sets of RBPs made available by ENCODE identified several RBPs with a preference for binding NEMmRNAs, of which we selected LARP4, a La RBP family member, for further study. We show that LARP4’s RNA-target set is particularly enriched in mRNAs that encode for respiratory chain complex proteins (RCCPs) and mitochondrial ribosome proteins (MRPs) across multiple human cell lines. CRISPR knockout cells in conjunction with quantitative proteomics show that protein levels of RCCPs and MRPs are significantly reduced upon loss of LARP4. Furthermore, we show that LARP4 depletion reduces mitochondrial function, and this phenotype is ameliorated by LARP4 re-expression. Our findings shed light onto a novel function for LARP4 as an RBP that binds to NEMmRNAs to promote mitochondrial respiratory function.

LARP4 Is an RNA-Binding Protein That Binds Nuclear-Encoded Mitochondrial mRNAs To Promote Mitochondrial Function

Project description:Mitochondria-associated RNA-binding proteins have emerged as key contributors to mitochondrial biogenesis and homeostasis. With few examples known, we set out to identify RBPs that regulate nuclear-encoded mitochondrial mRNAs. Our systematic analysis of RNA targets of 150 RBPs identified RBPs with a preference for binding NEM mRNAs, including LARP4, a La RBP family member. We show that LARP4s targets are particularly enriched in mRNAs that encode respiratory chain complex proteins and mitochondrial ribosome proteins across multiple human cell lines. Through quantitative proteomics, we demonstrate that depletion of LARP4 leads to a significant reduction in RCCP and MRP protein levels. Furthermore, we show that LARP4 depletion reduces mitochondrial function, and that LARP4 re-expression rescues this phenotype. Our findings shed light on a novel function for LARP4 as an RBP that binds to and positively regulates NEM mRNAs to promote mitochondrial respiratory function.

rec-Y2H matrix in S. cerevisiae screening reveals a vast potential for direct protein-protein interactions among RNA binding proteins

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are crucial factors of post-transcriptional gene regulation and their modes of action are intensely investigated. At the center of attention are RNA motifs that guide where RBPs bind. However, sequence motifs recognized by RBPs are typically a poor predictor of RBP-RNA interactions in vivo. It is hence believed that many RBPs recognize RNAs as complexes, to increase specificity and regulatory potential. To probe the potential for RBP–RBP complex formation, we assembled a library of 978 mammalian RBPs and used rec-Y2H screening to detect direct interactions between RBPs, sampling >1M possible interactions. We discovered 1994 new interactions and demonstrate that our interaction screening discovers RBP pairs that bind RNAs adjacently. We further find that the mRNA binding region preferences of an RBP can deviate, depending on its adjacently binding interaction partner. Finally, we reveal novel RBP–RBP interaction networks among major RNA processing steps and show that RBP mutations observed in cancer rewire spliceosomal interaction networks.

Molecular characterization of Plasmodium falciparum Bruno/CELF RNA binding proteins

Project description:The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum employs intricate post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms in different stages of its life cycle. Despite the importance of post-transcriptional regulation, key elements of these processes, namely RNA binding proteins (RBPs), are poorly characterized. In this study, the RNA binding properties of P. falciparum proteins were characterized including two putative members of the Bruno/CELF family of RBPs (PfCELF1 and PfCELF2), dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (PfDHFR-TS), and adenosine deaminase (PfAda).The mRNA targets of these P. falciparum proteins were investigated by ribonomics using DNA microarrays. Two-condition ribonomic experiment, RBP vs. Mock enrichment of mRNAs. Ribonomic experimental replicates: 4-7 for each RBP, 5 for Mock. One replicate per array.

Transcriptome-wide view of endosomal mRNP transport [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Spatiotemporal protein expression is mediated by active transport and local translation of mRNAs. Key factors of the transport machinery are RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) that recognise mRNAs as cargo for motor-based transport. However, a global view of transported mRNAs with cognate RBP binding sites is missing. Here, we cast a transcriptome-wide view on endosomal mRNP transport in Ustilago maydis by studying the newly identified endosomal RBP Grp1 and the key transport RBP Rrm4 in a comparative iCLIP approach. This uncovered thousand of cargo mRNAs bound by both RBPs.

Coordinating Expression of RNA Binding Proteins with Their mRNA Targets

Project description:Post-transcriptional regulation by RNA binding proteins (RBPs) plays prominent roles in a variety of biological processes. In this study, by analyzing the global regulatory relationship between RBPs and their target mRNAs in yeast, we discovered that most RBP genes are co-regulated with their target genes, but the RBPs tend to dampen expression variation among their target mRNAs. We further examined a well-studied RBP gene, PUF3, and found that the protein decreases the variation of its target mRNAs by differentially affecting their decay. Our results provided new insights into the functional importance of RBPs in coordinating their target genes expression. Both the PUF3 deletion strain and wild type BY4742 (MATa, his3Δ1, leu2Δ0, met15Δ0, ura3Δ0) strain were cultured overnight in YPD media. 0.01 OD cells were transferred into fresh YPEG media until 1.0 OD. Total RNA was extracted by the standard Trizol protocol. mRNA was then purified using oligo-dT DynaBeads. cDNA sequencing library was constructed according to the protocol described by Wang et al. After sequencing, the reads were also mapped into S. cerevisiae genome by SOAP2 with no more than two mismatches. RPKM was used to represent the expression level of each gene.

C6orf203 is an RNA-binding protein involved in mitochondrial protein synthesis

Project description:In all biological systems, RNAs are associated with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), forming complexes that control gene regulatory mechanisms, from RNA synthesis to decay. In mammalian mitochondria, post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression is conducted by mitochondrial RBPs (mt-RBPs) at various stages of mt-RNA metabolism, including polycistronic transcript production, its processing into individual transcripts, mt-RNA modifications, stability, translation, and degradation. To date, only a handful of mt-RBPs have been characterized. Here, we describe a putative human mitochondrial protein, C6orf203, that contains an S4-like domain - an evolutionarily conserved RNA-binding domain previously identified in proteins involved in translation. Our data show C6orf203 to bind highly-structured RNA in vitro and associate with the mitoribosomal large subunit in HEK293T cells. Knockout of C6orf203 leads to a decrease in mitochondrial translation and consequent OXPHOS deficiency, without affecting mitochondrial RNA levels. Although mitoribosome stability is not affected in C6orf203-depleted cells, mitoribosome profiling analysis revealed a global disruption of the association of mt-mRNAs with the mitoribosome, suggesting that C6orf203 may be required for the proper maturation and functioning of the mitoribosome. We therefore propose C6orf203 to be a novel RNA-binding protein involved in mitochondrial translation, expanding the repertoire of factors engaged in this process.

RNA-binding protein complex AMG-1/SLRP-1 mediates germline development and spermatogenesis by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis in Caenorhabditis elegans [LACE-seq]

Project description:The mechanisms of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs)-mediated post-transcriptional regulation of pre-existing mRNAs, which is essential for spermatogenesis, remains poorly understood. Here, we identify a germline-specific mitochondrial RBP AMG-1, a homolog of mammalian LRPPRC, required for spermatogenesis in C. elegans. amg-1 mutation hinders germline development without affecting somatic development and leads to the aberrant mitochondrial morphology and structure associated with mitochondrial dysfunctions specifically in germline. We demonstrate that AMG-1 is most frequently bound to mtDNA-encoded 12S and 16S ribosomal RNA, the essential components of mitochondrial ribosome, and that 12S rRNA expression mediated by AMG-1 is crucial for germline mitochondrial protein homeostasis. Besides, mitochondrial dysfunction by AMG-1 mutation triggers sperm apoptosis in C. elegans. Furthermore, SLRP-1, the homolog of mammalian SLIRP in C. elegans, interacts with AMG-1 genetically to regulate germline development and reproductive success in C. elegans. Taken together, these findings reveal the novel function of mtRBP in specifically regulating germline development.
