RNA-binding proteins that lack canonical RNA-binding domains are rarely sequence-specific

ABSTRACT: Thousands of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) crosslink to cellular mRNA. Among these are numerous unconventional RBPs (ucRBPs)—proteins that associate with RNA but lack known RNA-binding domains (RBDs). The vast majority of ucRBPs have uncharacterized RNA-binding specificities. We analyzed 492 human ucRBPs for intrinsic RNA-binding in vitro and identified 23 that bind specific RNA sequences. Most (17/23), including 8 ribosomal proteins, were previously associated with RNA-related function. We identified the RBDs responsible for sequence-specific RNA-binding for several of these 23 ucRBPs and surveyed whether corresponding domains from homologous proteins also display RNA sequence specificity. CCHC-zf domains from seven human proteins recognized specific RNA motifs, indicating that this is a major class of RBD. For Nudix, HABP4, TPR, RanBP2-zf, and L7Ae domains, however, only isolated members or closely related homologs yielded motifs, consistent with RNA-binding as a derived function. The lack of sequence specificity for most ucRBPs is striking, and we suggest that many may function analogously to chromatin factors, which often crosslink efficiently to cellular DNA, presumably via indirect recruitment. Finally, we show that ucRBPs tend to be highly abundant proteins and suggest their identification in RNA interactome capture studies could also result from weak nonspecific interactions with RNA.

SONAR discovers RNA binding proteins from analysis of large-scale protein-protein interactomes.

Project description:RNA metabolism is controlled by an expanding yet incomplete catalog of RNA binding proteins (RBPs), many of which lack characterized RNA binding domains. Approaches to expand the RBP repertoire to discover non-canonical RBPs are currently needed. Here, HaloTag fusion pull-down of twelve nuclear and cytoplasmic RBPs followed by quantitative mass-spectrometry (MS) demonstrates that proteins interacting with multiple RBPs in an RNA-dependent manner are enriched for RBPs. This motivated SONAR, a computational approach that predicts RNA binding activity by analyzing large-scale affinity precipitation-MS protein-protein interactomes. Without relying on sequence or structure information, SONAR identifies 1923 human, 489 fly and 745 yeast RBPs, including over 100 human candidate RBPs that contain zinc finger domains. Enhanced CLIP confirms RNA binding activity and identifies transcriptome-wide RNA binding sites for SONAR-predicted RBPs, revealing unexpected RNA binding activity for disease-relevant proteins and DNA binding proteins.

HydRA: Deep-learning models for predicting RNA-binding capacity from protein interaction association context and protein sequence

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) control RNA metabolism to orchestrate gene expression, and dysfunctional RBPs underlie many human diseases. Proteome-wide discovery efforts predict thousands of novel RBPs, many of which lack canonical RNA-binding domains. Here, we present a hybrid ensemble RBP classifier (HydRA) that leverages information from both intermolecular protein interactions and internal protein sequence patterns to predict RNA-binding capacity with unparalleled specificity and sensitivity using support vector machine, convolutional neural networks and transformer-based protein language models. HydRA enables Occlusion Mapping to robustly detect known RNA-binding domains and to predict hundreds of uncharacterized RNA-binding domains. Enhanced CLIP validation for a diverse collection of RBP candidates reveals genome-wide targets and confirms RNA-binding activity for HydRA-predicted domains. The HydRA computational framework accelerates construction of a comprehensive RBP catalogue and expands the set of known RNA-binding protein domains.

A compendium of RNA-binding motifs for analysis of gene regulation

Project description:RNA binding proteins are key regulators of gene expression, yet only a small fraction of these proteins has been functionally characterized. Here, we report the first large-scale analysis of the RNA motifs recognised by RNA binding proteins, encompassing 205 distinct proteins from 24 diverse eukaryotes. The sequence specificities of RBPs display deep evolutionary conservation, such that the recognition preferences for a large fraction of metazoan RNA binding proteins can be inferred from the sequences of their binding domains. The motifs we identify in vitro correlate well with in vivo RNA-binding data. Moreover, we can associate them with distinct functional roles in diverse types of post-transcriptional regulation, enabling new insights into the functions of RNA binding proteins in both normal physiology and in human disease. These data provide an unprecedented global view of RBPs and their targets and constitute an invaluable resource for defining post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms in eukaryotes. Here, we analyze the RNA-binding preferences of 205 distinct RNA-binding proteins from 24 different eukaryotes, using RNAcompete. In this assay, purified GST-tagged RBPs are incubated with an excess of RNA pool and bound RNA from individual pulldowns are directly labeled, hybridized to a custom Agilent 244K microarray, and analyzed computationally to identify RNA-binding motifs.

RNase-mediated protein footprint sequencing reveals protein-binding sites throughout the human transcriptome

Project description:RNAs are continuously associated with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), and these interactions are necessary for many key cellular processes ranging from splicing to chromatin regulation. Although numerous approaches have been developed to map RNA-binding sites of individual RBPs, few methods exist that allow assessment of global RBP-RNA interactions. Here, we describe a universal, high-throughput, ribonuclease-mediated protein footprint sequencing approach that reveals RNA-protein interaction sites throughout a transcriptome of interest. We apply this method to the HeLa transcriptome and compare RBP binding sites found using different cross-linkers and ribonucleases. From this analysis, we identify numerous putative RBP binding motifs, reveal novel insights into co-binding by RBPs, and uncover a significant enrichment for disease-associated polymorphisms within RBP interaction sites. Protein interaction profile sequencing (PIP-seq) in HeLa cells. Two crosslinkers (formaldehyde and UV) with two RNases (dsRNase and ssRNase) each, as well as a no-crosslink sample. Performed with and without proteins. Three replicates for formaldehyde, two replicates for UV, single replicate for no crosslinker.

A quantitative analysis of CLIP methods for identifying binding sites of RNA-binding proteins (CLIP)

Project description:Crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) is increasingly used to map transcriptome-wide binding sites of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). We developed a method for CLIP data analysis and applied it to compare 254 nm CLIP with PAR-CLIP, which involves crosslinking of photoreactive nucleotides with 365 nm UV light. We found small differences in the accuracy of these methods in identifying binding sites of HuR, a protein that binds low-complexity sequences and Argonaute 2, which has a complex binding specificity. We show that crosslink-induced mutations lead to single-nucleotide resolution for both PAR-CLIP and CLIP. Our results confirm the expectation from original CLIP publications that RNA-binding proteins do not protect sufficiently their sites under the denaturing conditions used during the CLIP procedure, and we show that extensive digestion with sequence-specific ribonucleases strongly biases the set of recovered binding sites. We finally show that this bias can be substantially reduced by milder nuclease digestion conditions. We performed duplicate experiments for each variant of the CLIP protocol (CLIP, PAR-CLIP), each protein (HuR, Ago2), and enzymatic digestion (complete T1 digestion, mild MNase digestion). In addition, we performed a single PAR-CLIP experiment with mild T1 digestion.

RNA-Binding Protein targets in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:The vast landscape of RNA-protein interactions at the heart of post-transcriptional regulation remains largely unexplored. Indeed it is likely that, even in yeast, a substantial fraction of the regulatory RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) remain to be discovered. Systematic experimental methods can play a key role in discovering these RBPs - most of the known yeast RBPs lack RNA-binding domains that might enable this activity to be predicted. We describe here a new proteome-wide approach to identify RNA-protein interactions based on in vitro binding of RNA samples to yeast protein microarrays that represent over 80% of the yeast proteome. We used this procedure to screen for novel RBPs and RNA-protein interactions. A complementary mass spectrometry technique also identified proteins that associate with yeast mRNAs. Both the protein microarray and mass spectrometry methods successfully identify previously annotated RBPs, suggesting that other proteins identified in these assays might be novel RBPs. Of 35 putative novel RBPs identified by either or both of these methods, 12, including 75% of the eight most highly-ranked candidates, reproducibly associated with specific cellular RNAs. Surprisingly, most of the 12 newly discovered RBPs were enzymes. Functional characteristics of the RNA targets of some of the novel RBPs suggest coordinated post-transcriptional regulation of subunits of protein complexes and a possible link between mRNA trafficking and vesicle transport. Our results suggest that many more RBPs still remain to be identified and provide a set of candidates for further investigation. Set of arrays organized by shared biological context, such as organism, tumors types, processes, etc.

We finally show that this bias can be substantially reduced by milder nuclease digestion conditions. We performed duplicate mRNA-Seq experiments for cells grown in the presence of modified nucleotides or in normal medium, and following crosslinking at 365nm, 254nm or without crosslinking. In addition, we performed single mRNA-Seq experiments of cells transfected with anti-GFP or anti-HuR siRNA.

Serial interactome capture of the human cell nucleus

Project description:Novel RNA-guided cellular functions are paralleled by an increasing number of RNA binding proteins (RBPs). We present “serial interactome capture” (serIC), a multiple purification procedure of UV-crosslinked poly(A)-RNA-protein complexes that enables global RBP detection with maximal specificity. We apply serIC to nuclei of proliferating K562 cells to obtain the first human nuclear interactome. The domain composition of the 382 identified nuclear RBPs markedly differs from previous IC experiments, including fewer factors without known RNA binding domains that are in better agreement with computationally predicted RNA binding. serIC extends the number of DNA-RNA binding proteins (DRBPs), and reveals a network of RBPs involved in p53 signaling and double strand break repair. serIC is an effective tool to couple global RBP capture with additional selection or labelling steps for specific detection of highly purified RBPs. The nuclear interactome presented here is a stepping-stone towards deciphering of the functional RNA-protein network in the mammalian nucleus.

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.
