A novel miRNA processing pathway independent of Dicer requires Argonaute2 catalytic activity

ABSTRACT: Here we identify a Dicer-independent miRNA biogenesis pathway that employs the slicer catalytic activity of Argonaute2 (Ago2). To uncover Dicer-independent miRNAs, we sequenced small RNAs in wild type, maternal-zygotic dicer (MZdicer) and MZago2 mutants, using zebrafish as a model system. We find that, in contrast to other miRNAs, miR-451 levels were increased in MZdicer but drastically reduced in the MZago2 mutants. We show that pre-miR-451 processing requires Ago2 catalytic activity in vivo. MZago2 mutant embryos display delayed erythrocyte maturation that can be rescued by wild type Ago2 or miR-451 duplex but not catalytically dead Ago2. We propose that Ago2-mediated cleavage of a subset of pre-miRNAs, followed by uridylation and trimming, generates functional miRNAs in a Dicer-independent manner.

miRNAs associated with the different human Argonaute proteins

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function in literally all cellular processes. miRNAs interact with Argonaute (Ago) proteins and guide them to specific target sites located in the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of target mRNAs leading to translational repression and deadenylation-induced mRNA degradation. Most miRNAs are processed from hairpin-structured precursors by the consecutive action of the RNase III enzymes Drosha and Dicer. However, processing of miR-451 is Dicer-independent and cleavage is mediated by the endonuclease Ago2. Here we have characterized miR-451 sequence and structure requirements for processing as well as sorting of miRNAs into different Ago proteins. Pre-miR-451 appears to be optimized for Ago2 cleavage and changes result in reduced processing. In addition, we show that the mature miR-451 only associates with Ago2 suggesting that mature miRNAs are not exchanged between different members of the Ago protein family. Based on cloning and deep sequencing of endogenous miRNAs associated with Ago1-3, we do not find evidence for miRNA sorting in human cells. However, Ago identity appears to influence the length of some miRNAs, while others remain unaffected.

PARN mediates 3'-end trimming of Argonaute-cleaved precursor microRNAs

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are typically generated as ~22-nucleotide double-stranded RNAs via processing of precursor hairpins by the RNase III enzyme Dicer, after which they are loaded into Argonaute (Ago) proteins to form RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). However, the biogenesis of miR-451, an erythropoietic miRNA conserved in vertebrates, does not require Dicer processing. Instead, the short pre-miR-451 precursor hairpin is directly loaded into Ago, followed by cleavage of the 3' arm and trimming of the 3' end to the mature length by PARN. Here we show the in vivo activity of miR-430 Ago2-hairpin, a canonical microRNA engineered to fit the structure of miR-451 and hence become Ago2-dependent. Moreover, we test a modified miR-430 Ago2-haipin with 3x phoshorothioate bonds that impairs trimmng. Surprisingly, our data show that trimming of Ago-cleaved pre-miRNAs is not essential for target silencing, indicating that RISC is functional with miRNAs longer than 22-nucleotides. Rescue of MZdicer zebrafish mutant with the injection of trimmable and nontrimmable miR-430 Ago2 hairpins: Transcriptome of wild type, MZdicer mutant, and MZdicer mutant micoinjected with miR-430 duplex, miR-430 (Ago2-haripin), miR-430 (Ago2-haripin 3xPhosphorothioate)

Essential role for Argonaute2 protein in mouse oogenesis

Project description:Argonaute2 proteins (Ago2) are key component of RNA-induced gene silencing complexes (RISCs), which is crucial for microRNAs to repress target genes. The function of Ago2 for oogenesis is unknown due to early embryonic lethal of Ago2 knockout mice. Here we show the effect of loss of Ago2 in mouse oogenesis by specific deletion of it in growing oocyte. Although the Ago2-deficient oocytes can develop to mature oocytes, they have abnormal spindle and the chromosomes that can’t cluster together properly, which are very similar to the phenotype of Dicer-deficient oocytes. We checked miRNA expression profile and found that in Ago2-deficient oocyte, the expression of most miRNAs reduced more than 80%. To understand the downstream genes regulated by Ago2, we used microarray on Ago2-deficient oocyte and found that 512 genes were upregulated and 1073 genes were downregulated (FC>2, P<0.05). Our data proved that Ago2 have a key function for mouse oogenesis through globally regulating miRNA stability and function.

RNAi-independent role for Argonaute2 in CTCF/CP190 chromatin insulator function

Project description:Chromatin insulators and Polycomb group (PcG) complexes control nuclear organization to effect changes in gene expression. In Drosophila, RNA silencing pathways influence long range interactions mediated by PcG proteins and nuclear localization of the gypsy insulator; however, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here, we identify a singular requirement for Argonaute2 (AGO2) for the activity of the CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF)/Centrosomal protein 190 (CP190) dependent Fab-8 insulator. AGO2 and CP190 interact physically, and genome wide localization of AGO2 by chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) reveals extensive colocalization of AGO2 with insulators and Polycomb Response Elements (PREs) but minimal overlap with regions of endogenous small interfering RNA (endo-siRNA) production. Finally, depletion of either CTCF or CP190 results in loss of AGO2 association with insulators, PREs, and other cis-regulatory regions. Our findings suggest that Dicer-independent recruitment of AGO2 to chromatin by insulator proteins promotes the definition of transcriptional domains throughout the genome. ChIP-seq of AGO2 in two Drosophila cell types (S2 and S3)

Argonaute2 mediates compensatory expansion of the pancreatic ß-cell

Project description:Pancreatic ß-cells adapt to compensate for the increased metabolic demand during insulin resistance. While the microRNA pathway has an essential role in the expansion of ß-cell mass, the extent of its contribution is unclear. Here we show that miR-184 is silenced in the pancreatic islets of several insulin-resistant mouse models and in the islets of type-2 diabetic human subjects. Reduction of miR-184 promotes the expression of its target Argonaute2 (Ago2), a component of the microRNA-induced silencing complex. While over-expression of Ago2 increased ß-cell proliferation, conditional deletion decreased ß-cell number. Moreover, restored expression of miR-184 in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice decreased Ago2 and prevented compensatory ß-cell expansion. Loss of Ago2 expression during insulin resistance blocked ß-cell growth and relieved the regulation of miR-375-targeted genes including the growth suppressor Cadm1. This study identifies the regulation of Ago2 by miR-184 as an essential component of the compensatory response to promote proliferation during insulin resistance.
