DIS3L2 clears terminal-uridylated RNA to ensure oocyte maturation and female fertility

ABSTRACT: During mammalian oocyte development, transcriptome undergoes accumulation in the oocyte growth phase and elimination in the oocyte maturation phase. At the transition point between growth and maturation, which is the germinal vesicle intact oocyte (GV), terminal uridylation labels RNA for degradation. In our study, we show that a small cohort of RNA are polyadenylated after tail uridylation (defined as uridylated-poly(A) RNA). Upon genetic depletion of DIS3L2 (Dis3l2cKO) in mouse oocytes, uridylated-poly(A) RNA is extensively stabilized and dominates the oocyte transcriptome, which results in increased transcriptome in Dis3l2cKO oocytes. Consequently, Dis3l2cKO female mice are infertile and almost all oocytes are arrested at the GV stage. Uridylated-poly(A) RNA generally has shorter poly(A) tails and lower translation activity. The uridylated-poly(A) RNA in Dis3l2cKO oocytes not only generates from the insufficient RNA degradation, but also comes from the tail dynamics of RNA. Our study demonstrates more possibilities of RNA fates after being terminally uridylated, and highlights the role of DIS3L2 in safeguarding the transcriptome by degrading uridylated-poly(A) RNA.

Project description:The exosome-independent exoribonuclease DIS3L2 is mutated in Perlman syndrome. Here we used extensive global transcriptomic and targeted biochemical analyses to identify novel DIS3L2 substrates in human cells. We show that DIS3L2 regulates pol II transcripts, comprising selected canonical and histone-coding mRNAs, and a novel FTL_short RNA from the ferritin mRNA 5' UTR. Importantly, DIS3L2 contributes to surveillance of pre-snRNAs during their cytoplasmic maturation. Among pol III transcripts, DIS3L2 particularly targets vault and Y RNAs and an Alu-like element BC200 RNA, but not Alu repeats, which are removed by exosome-associated DIS3. Using 3' RACE-Seq, we demonstrate that all novel DIS3L2 substrates are uridylated in vivo by TUT4/TUT7 poly(U) polymerases. Uridylation-dependent DIS3L2-mediated decay can be recapitulated in vitro, thus reinforcing the tight cooperation between DIS3L2 and TUTases. Together these results indicate that catalytically inactive DIS3L2, characteristic of Perlman syndrome, can lead to deregulation of its target RNAs to disturb transcriptome homeostasis. To investigate DIS3L2 functions genome-wide, total RNA samples were collected from model cell lines producing either WT or mut DIS3L2 three days after induction with doxycycline. The RNA samples were rRNA-depleted before preparation of strand-specific total RNA libraries according to the standard TruSeq (Illumina) protocol. TruSeq library preparation favours RNA molecules longer than 200 nt, and shorter transcripts are suboptimal for sequencing via this protocol. Thus, to obtain information about potential DIS3L2 RNA substrates with lengths between 20 and 220 nt, another RNA-Seq was carried out in parallel (with size selection through gel purification). The stable inducible HEK293 cell lines producing DIS3L2 variants were obtained using âpAL_01â and âpAL_02â plasmid constructs and the Flp-Inâ¢ T-RExâ¢ system according to the manufacturerâs guidelines. âpAL_01â and âpAL_02â plasmids are vectors for co-expression of recoded C-terminal FLAG-tagged DIS3L2 [wild type (WT) variant or its catalytic mutant counterpart (mut), respectively] and sh-miRNAs directed against endogenous DIS3L2 mRNA.
