A tRNA modifying enzyme facilitates RNase P activity in Arabidopsis nuclei

ABSTRACT: RNase P is the essential activity that performs the 5’ maturation of tRNA precursors. Beyond the ancestral form of RNase P containing a ribozyme, protein-only RNase P enzymes termed PRORP were identified in eukaryotes. In human mitochondria, PRORP forms a complex with two protein partners to become functional. In plants, although PRORP enzymes are active alone, we investigate their interaction network to understand their integration with gene expression pathways. Here we investigate functional interactions involving the Arabidopsis nuclear RNase P PRORP2. We show, using an immuno-affinity strategy, that PRORP2 occurs in a complex with the tRNA methyl transferases TRM1A and B in vivo. Beyond RNase P, these enzymes can also interact with RNase Z. We show that TRM1A/B localize in the nucleus and find that their double knock out mutation results in a severe macroscopic phenotype. Using a combination of immuno-detections, mass spectrometry and a transcriptome wide tRNAseq approach, we observe that TRM1A/B are responsible for the m2,2G26 modification of 70% of cytosolic tRNAs in vivo. We use the transcriptome wide tRNAseq approach as well as RNA blot hybridizations to show that RNase P activity is impaired in TRM1A/B mutants for specific tRNAs, in particular, tRNAs containing a m2,2G modification at position 26 that are strongly down-regulated in TRM1A/B mutants. Altogether, results indicate that the m2,2G adding enzymes TRM1A/B functionally cooperate with nuclear RNase P in vivo for the early steps of cytosolic tRNAs biogenesis.

Comparison of mitochondrial tRNA abundance profiling in wild type and mutant mitochondrial RNA polymerase overexpression flies.

Project description:To investigate differential mitochondrial tRNA gene expression in wild type (WT) and mutant (E423P) mitochondrial RNA polymerase (POLRMT) overexpression flies, we performed Drsophila mitochondrial tRNA-seq according to the Hydro-tRNAseq method. tRNA-seq reads were subjected to 3' - adapter filtering , 3' - adapter trimming and quality control. The tRNAs expression levels were measured by tag count. For each tRNA sequence-based profile, the mapped reads number used to estimate the expression level of each tRNA. The tRNAs expression profiling was calculated based on uniquely mapped reads and including mapped reads, respectively. We found no difference in the relative abundance of mitochondrial individual tRNAs between WT and E423P overexpression flies.

Ribosome footprinting of wild-type Col-0 and rlmnl3 mutant

Project description:In the present study, we discover the presence of m2A in chloroplast rRNA and tRNA, as well as cytosolic tRNA, in multiple plant species. We identify six m2A-modified chloroplast tRNAs and two m2A-modified cytosolic tRNAs across different plants. Furthermore, we characterize three Arabidopsis m2A methyltransferases—RLMNL1, RLMNL2, and RLMNL3—which methylate chloroplast rRNA, chloroplast tRNA, and cytosolic tRNA, respectively. Our findings demonstrate that m2A37 promotes a relaxed conformation of tRNA, enhancing translation efficiency in chloroplast and cytosol by facilitating decoding of tandem m2A-tRNA-dependent codons. This study provides insights into the molecular function and biological significance of m2A, uncovering a layer of translation regulation in plants.

tRNAs marked with CCACCA are targeted for degradation

Project description:The CCA-adding enzyme adds CCA to the 3' ends of transfer RNAs (tRNAs), a critical step in tRNA biogenesis that generates the amino acid attachment site. We found that the CCA-adding enzyme plays a key role in tRNA quality control by selectively marking unstable tRNAs and tRNA-like small RNAs for degradation. Instead of adding CCA to the 3' ends of these transcripts, CCA-adding enzymes from all three kingdoms of life add CCACCA. Here, we report deep sequencing analysis of the 3' ends of tRNA-Ser-CGA and tRNA-Ser-UGA from S. cerevisiae strains and show that hypomodified mature tRNAs are subjected to CCACCA (or poly(A) addition) as part of a rapid tRNA decay pathway in vivo. We conjecture that CCACCA addtion is a universal mechanism for controlling tRNA levels and preventing errors in translation. 121 samples analyzed in total, representing time courses of 10 different yeast strains; Biological replicates for each time point are included

Selective control of metabolism by the GCN2 eIF2 kinase pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:When eukaryotic cells are deprived of amino acids, uncharged tRNAs accumulate and activate the conserved GCN2 protein kinase. We examine how yeast growth and tRNA charging or aminoacylation is affected during amino acid depletion in the presence and absence of GCN2. tRNA charging is measured using a microarray technique which allows for simultaneous measurement of all cytosolic tRNAs. A fully prototrophic and its isogenic GCN2 deletion strain were used. We measured relative tRNA charging levels in yeast strains with an intact and deleted GCN2.

Small RNA sequencing of in vitro Angiogenin-hydrolyzed tRNAs

Project description:Specific environmental insults cause the limited fragmentation of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) into tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), which have been implicated in a wide range of biological processes. tRNA fragmentation results from endonucleolytic activities targeting single-stranded tRNA regions. However, how a tRNA with a single hydrolyzed phosphodiester bond in the anticodon loop (‘nicked’ tRNA) gives rise to distinct tsRNAs remains poorly understood. After identifying RNA helicases that were able to unwind ‘nicked’ tRNAs in vitro, the specificity of one of those enzymes, DDX3X, was determined by RNA helicase assays on tRNAs, which had been subjected to recombinant Angiogenin. Both in vivo ‘nicked’ tRNAs, DDX3X-unwound ‘nicked’ tRNAs as well as heat-denatured ‘nicked’ tRNAs were subjected to small RNA sequencing.

ALL-tRNAseq enables robust tRNA profiling in tissue samples

Project description:Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are small adaptor RNAs essential for mRNA translation. Alterations in the cellular tRNA population can directly affect mRNA decoding rates and translational efficiency during cancer development and progression. To evaluate changes in the composition of the tRNA pool, multiple sequencing approaches have been developed to overcome reverse transcription blocks caused by the stable structures of these molecules and their numerous base modifications. It remains however unclear whether current sequencing protocols faithfully capture tRNAs existing in cells or tissues. This is specifically challenging for clinical tissue samples that often present variable RNA qualities. For this reason, we developed ALL-tRNAseq, which combines the highly processive MarathonRT and RNA demethylation, for the robust assessment of tRNA expression, together with a randomized adapter ligation strategy prior to reverse transcription, to assess tRNA fragmentation levels in both cell lines and tissues. Incorporation of tRNA fragments not only informed on sample integrity, but also significantly improved tRNA profiling of tissue samples. Our data showed that our profiling strategy effectively improves classification of oncogenic signatures in glioblastoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma tissues, particularly for samples presenting higher levels of RNA fragmentation, further highlighting the utility of ALL-tRNAseq for translational research.

Characterizing expression and processing of precursor and mature human tRNAs by hydro-tRNAseq and PAR-CLIP

Project description:The participation of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) in fundamental aspects of biology and disease necessitates an accurate, experimentally confirmed annotation of tRNA genes, and curation of precursor and mature tRNA sequences. This has been challenging, mainly because RNA secondary structure and nucleotide modifications, together with tRNA gene multiplicity, complicate sequencing and sequencing read mapping efforts. To address these issues, we developed hydro-tRNAseq, a method based on partial alkaline RNA hydrolysis that generates fragments amenable for sequencing. To identify transcribed tRNA genes, we further complemented this approach with Photoactivatable Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) of SSB/La, a conserved protein involved in pre-tRNA processing. Our results show that approximately half of all predicted tRNA genes are transcribed in human cells. We also report predominant nucleotide modification sites, their order of introduction, and identify tRNA leader, trailer and intron sequences. By using complementary sequencing-based methodologies, we present a human tRNA atlas, and determine expression levels of mature and processing intermediates of tRNAs in human cells.

Structural basis of MALAT1 RNA maturation and mascRNA biogenesis

Project description:MALAT1 lncRNA plays key roles in regulating transcription, splicing, and tumorigenesis. Its maturation and stabilization require precise processing by RNase P, which simultaneously initiates the biogenesis of a 3′ cytoplasmic mascRNA. mascRNA was proposed to fold into a tRNA-like secondary structure, but lacks eight conserved linking residues required by the canonical tRNA fold. Here, we report crystal structures of human mascRNA before and after processing, which reveal an ultracompact, quasi-tRNA-like structure. Despite lacking all linker residues, mascRNA faithfully recreates the characteristic “elbow” feature of tRNAs to recruit RNase P and ELAC2 for processing, which exhibit distinct substrate specificities. Rotation and repositioning of the D-stem and anticodon regions preclude mascRNA from aminoacylation, avoiding interference with translation. Therefore, a class of metazoan lncRNAs employ a previously unrecognized, unusually streamlined quasi-tRNA architecture to recruit select tRNA-processing enzymes while excluding others, to drive bespoke RNA biogenesis, processing, and maturation.
