AGO2 silences mobile transposons in the nucleus of quiescent cells [miRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Argonaute 2 (AGO2) is a cytoplasmic component of the miRNA pathway with essential roles in development and disease. Yet, little is known about its regulation in vivo. Here, we show that in mouse quiescent cells, AGO2 localizes almost exclusively to the nucleus. In quiescent splenocytes, AGO2’s subcellular localization is modulated by the Pi3K-AKT-mTOR pathway, a well-established regulator of quiescence. Signaling through this pathway in proliferating cells promotes AGO2 cytoplasmic accumulation at least in part by stimulating the expression of TNRC6, an AGO2 binding partner in the miRNA pathway. In contrast, low signaling in quiescent cells enables AGO2 to accumulate in the nucleus where it binds to young mobile transposons co-transcriptionally. Loss of AGO2 in quiescent cells results in upregulation of transposon transcripts suggesting it performs functions analogous to those of PIWI in the germline. Our results point to an essential but previously unrecognized nuclear role for AGO2 during mammalian quiescence as part of a genome-defense system against transposable elements.

AGO2 silences mobile transposons in the nucleus of quiescent cells [RIP-seq]

miR-122-dependent binding of TNRC6 to HCV RNA

Project description:The liver-specific microRNA, miR-122, is an essential host factor for replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV), an important infectious cause of chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. miR-122 stabilizes the positive-strand HCV RNA genome and promotes viral RNA synthesis by binding two closely spaced sites (S1 and S2) near the 5’ end of the genome in association with Ago2. Ago2 is essential for both host factor activities, but whether other host proteins are involved is unknown. Using a quantitative proteomics approach, we identified TNRC6A (GW182) and its paralogs (TNRC6B and TNRC6C), as functionally important components of the miR-122/Ago2 host factor complex binding HCV RNA. Depletion of any two TNRC6 proteins reduced HCV replication in Huh-7.5 cells,but did not reduce viral RNA stability or translational activity, but rather dampened miR-122 stimulation of viral RNA synthesis. However, TNRC6 depletion had no effect on replication of HCV in which S2 was mutated so that miR-122 binds only S1, whereas it significantly enhanced replication when S1 was mutated and only S2 bound by miR-122. Consistent with this, we found that TNRC6 proteins preferentially associate with the S1 site, and that the association of Ago2 with S2 is increased in TNRC6-depleted cells. Collectively, these data suggest a model in which TNRC6 proteins, which are known to interact with Ago2, preferentially direct the miR-122/Ago2 complex to S1 while restricting its association with S2, thereby fine tuning the spatial organization of miR-122/Ago2 complexes bound to the viral RNA.

The Core RNAi Machinery is Conserved Between the Cytoplasm and Nuclei of Human Cells

Project description:Argonaute 2 (AGO2), the catalytic engine of RNAi, is typically associated with inhibition of translation in the cytoplasm. Contrary to dogma, AGO2 has also been implicated in nuclear processes including transcription and splicing. There has been little insight into AGO2's nuclear interactions or how they might differ relative to cytoplasm. Here we investigate the interactions of cytoplasmic and nuclear AGO2 using semi-quantitative mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry often reveals long lists of candidate proteins, complicating efforts to rigorously discriminate true interacting partners from artifacts. We prioritized candidates using orthogonal analytical strategies that compare replicate mass spectra of proteins associated with FLAG-tagged and endogenous AGO2. Interactions with TRNC6A, TRNC6B, TNRC6C, and AGO3 are conserved between nuclei and cytoplasm. TAR binding protein interacted stably with cytoplasmic AGO2 but not nuclear AGO2, consistent with strand loading in the cytoplasm. Our data suggest that the core RNAi machinery is conserved between the nucleus and cytoplasm but that accessory proteins differ. Orthogonal analysis of mass spectra is a powerful approach to streamlining identification of protein partners.
