Regulatory principles of human mitochondrial gene expression revealed by kinetic analysis of the RNA life cycle

ABSTRACT: Mitochondria play a critical role in cellular metabolism primarily through hosting the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) machinery that is encoded by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA, with each gene expression system being regulated by a distinct set of mechanisms. In this study, we performed a quantitative analysis of the mitochondrial messenger RNA (mt-mRNA) life cycle to gain insights into the principles underlying the regulation of mtDNA-encoded protein abundance. Our analysis revealed a unique balance between the rapid turnover and high accumulation of mt-mRNA, leading to a 700-fold higher transcriptional output compared to nuclear-encoded OXPHOS genes. Additionally, we observed that mt-mRNA processing and its association to the mitochondrial ribosome occur rapidly and that these processes are linked mechanistically. These data resulted in a model of mtDNA expression that is predictive across cell lines, revealing that differential turnover and translation efficiencies are the major contributors to mitochondrial-encoded protein synthesis. Applying this framework to a disease model of Leigh syndrome, French–Canadian type, we found that the responsible nuclear-encoded gene, LRPPRC, disrupts OXPHOS biogenesis predominantly through altering mt-mRNA stability. Our findings provide a comprehensive view of the intricate regulatory mechanisms governing mtDNA-encoded protein synthesis, highlighting the importance of quantitatively analyzing the mitochondrial RNA life cycle for decoding the regulatory principles of mtDNA expression.

Demethylzeylasteral inhibits oxidative phosphorylation complex biogenesis by targeting LRPPRC in lung cancer

Project description:Targeted inhibition of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complex generation is an emerging and promising cancer treatment strategy, but limited targets and specific inhibitors have been reported. Leucine-rich pentatricopeptide repeat-containing protein (LRPPRC) is an atypical RNA-binding protein that regulates the stability of all 13 mitochondrial DNA-encoded mRNA (mt-mRNA) and thus participates in the synthesis of the OXPHOS complex. LRPPRC is also a prospective therapeutic target for lung adenocarcinoma, serving as a promising target for OXPHOS inhibition. In this study, we identified Demethylzeylasteral (T-96), a small molecule extracted from the Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f., as a novel inhibitor of LRPPRC. T-96 directly bound to the RNA-binding domain of LRPPRC, inhibiting its interaction with mt-mRNA. This led to instability in both mt-mRNA and LRPPRC protein. Treatment with T-96 significantly reduced the mRNA and protein levels of the OXPHOS complex. As a consequence of LRPPRC inhibition, T-96 treatment induced a defect in the synthesis of the OXPHOS complex, inhibiting mitochondrial aerobic respiration and ATP synthesis. Moreover, T-96 exhibited potent antitumor activity for lung adenocarcinoma in vitro and in vivo, and the antitumor effect of T-96 was dependent on LRPPRC expression. In conclusion, this study not only identified the first traditional Chinese medicine monomer inhibitor against OXPHOS complex biosynthesis as well as a novel target of Demethylzeylasteral, but also shed light on the unique antitumor mechanism of bioactive compounds derived from traditional Chinese medicine.

A kinetic dichotomy between mitochondrial and nuclear gene expression processes

Project description:Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes, encoded by both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, are essential producers of cellular ATP, but how nuclear and mitochondrial gene expression steps are coordinated to achieve balanced OXPHOS subunit biogenesis remains unresolved. Here, we present a parallel quantitative analysis of the human nuclear and mitochondrial messenger RNA (mt-mRNA) life cycles, including transcript production, processing, ribosome association, and degradation. The kinetic rates of nearly every stage of gene expression differed starkly across compartments. Compared to nuclear mRNAs, mt-mRNAs were produced 1100-fold higher, degraded 7-fold faster, and accumulated to 160-fold higher levels. Quantitative modeling and depletion of mitochondrial factors, LRPPRC and FASTKD5, identified critical points of mitochondrial regulatory control, revealing that the mitonuclear expression disparities intrinsically arise from the highly polycistronic nature of human mitochondrial pre-mRNA. We propose that resolving these differences requires a 100-fold slower mitochondrial translation rate, illuminating the mitoribosome as a nexus of mitonuclear co-regulation.

MitoExome Sequencing of Mitochondrial OXPHOS Diseases (MGH)

Project description: Human disorders of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) represent a devastating collection of inherited diseases. These disorders impact at least 1:5000 live births, and are characterized by multi-organ system involvement. They are characterized by remarkable locus heterogeneity, with mutations in the mtDNA as well as in over 77 nuclear genes identified to date. It is estimated that additional genes may be mutated in these disorders. To discover the genetic causes of mitochondrial OXPHOS diseases, we performed targeted, deep sequencing of the entire mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) and the coding exons of over 1000 nuclear genes encoding the mitochondrial proteome. We applied this 'MitoExome' sequencing to 124 unrelated patients with a wide range of OXPHOS disease presentations from the Massachusetts General Hospital Mitochondrial Disorders Clinic. The 2.3Mb targeted region was captured by hybrid selection and Illumina sequenced with paired 76bp reads. The total set of 1605 targeted nuclear genes included 1013 genes with strong evidence of mitochondrial localization from the MitoCarta database, 377 genes with weaker evidence of mitochondrial localization from the MitoP2 database and other sources, and 215 genes known to cause other inborn errors of metabolism. Approximately 88% of targeted bases were well-covered (>20X), with mean 200X coverage per targeted base.

Disruption of mitochondrion-to-nucleus interaction in deceased cloned piglets

Project description:Most animals produced by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) are heteroplasmic for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in clones therefore requires the coordinated expression of genes encoded by the nuclear DNA and the two sources of mitochondria. Such interaction is rarely studied because most clones are generated using slaughterhouse oocytes of unrecorded origin. Here we traced the maternal lineages of seven diseased and five one-month-old live cloned piglets by sequencing their mtDNA (short SNP information in single mitochondrial gene). Additionally by using a 13K oligonucleotide microarray, we compared the expression profiles of nuclear and mtDNA-encoded genes that are involved in mitochondrial functions and regulation between the cloned groups and their age-matched controls (n=5 per group). We found that the oocytes used to generate the cloned piglets were of either the Large White or Duroc background, and oocyte genetic background was not related to the clones’ survival. Expression profiles of mtDNA-encoded genes in clones and controls showed intermixed clustering patterns without treatment or maternal lineage-dependency. In contract, clones and controls clustered separately for their global and nuclear DNA-encoded mitochondrial genes in the lungs for both the deceased and live groups. Functional annotation of differentially expressed genes encoded by both nuclear and mtDNA revealed abnormal gene expression in the mitochondrial OXPHOS pathway in deceased clones. Among the nine differentially expressed genes of the OXPHOS pathway, seven were down-regulated in deceased clones compared to controls, suggesting deficiencies in mitochondrial functions. Together, these data demonstrate that the coordination of expression of mitochondrial genes encoded by nuclear and mtDNA is disrupted in the lung of diseased clones.

ALTERED DUODENAL MUCOSAL MITOCHONDRIAL GENE EXPRESSION IS ASSOCIATED WITH DELAYED GASTRIC EMPTYING IN DIABETIC GASTROENTEROPATHY [mRNA-Seq]

Project description:Introduction. Hindered by a limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for diabetic gastroenteropathy (DGE), patients are managed by symptom-based therapies. We investigated the duodenal mucosal expression of protein-coding genes and miRNAs in DGE and related these abnormalities to clinical features. Methods. mRNA and micro RNA (miRNA) expression and ultrastructure of duodenal mucosal biopsies were investigated in 39 DGE patients and 21 healthy controls. Results were analyzed in the context of diabetic phenotype and gastric emptying. Results. There were 3175 differentially-expressed genes (FDR<0.05), especially mitochondrial genes, in DGE versus controls. Several mitochondrial (mt) DNA-encoded genes (12 of 13 protein coding genes mainly involved in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), both rRNAs and 9 of 22 tRNAs) were downregulated; conversely, nuclear (n) DNA-encoded mitochondrial genes (eg, OXPHOS, TCA cycle) were upregulated in DGE. Motif analysis uncovered binding sites for transcription factors NRF1, GABPA and YY1, which regulate mitochondrial biogenesis, in the promoters of differentially expressed genes. Seventeen of 30 differentially expressed miRNAs in DGE targeted differentially expressed mitochondrial genes. Mitochondrial density was also reduced and correlated with the expression of 9 mt-DNA OXPHOS genes in DGE. Uncovered by a principal component (PC) analysis of OXPHOS genes, PC1 was significantly associated with neuropathy (P = 0.01) and with delayed gastric emptying (P < 0.05). Conclusion. In DGE, mtDNA- and nDNA-encoded mitochondrial genes are reduced and increased, respectively, associated with reduced mitochondrial density, neuropathy, and delayed gastric emptying, and correlated with cognate miRNA expression. Together, these findings provide substantial evidence for clinically-relevant mitochondrial disturbances in DGE.

Mitochondrial and nuclear genomic response to loss of LRPPRC expression

Project description:Rapid advances in genotyping and sequencing technology have dramatically accelerated the discovery of genes underlying human disease. Elucidating the function of such genes and understanding their role in pathogenesis, however, remains challenging. Here, we introduce a genomic strategy to functionally characterize such genes, and apply it to LRPPRC (leucine-rich PPR-motif containing), a poorly studied gene that is mutated in Leigh Syndrome, French Canadian type (LSFC). We utilize RNAi to engineer an allelic series of cellular models in which LRPPRC has been stably silenced to different levels of knockdown efficiency. Using expression profiling, we discovered a specific role for LRPPRC in the expression of all mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-encoded mRNAs, but not the rRNAs, without affecting nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial proteins. We designed seven shRNAs targeting the LRPPRC cDNA sequence to silence its expression in MCH58 immortalized human fibroblasts. The LRPPRC expression level in these cells ranged from 9% to 100%. We demonstrated that knockdown cells carried stable silencing of the target gene and associated biochemical phenotypes. Our goal was to engineer stable knockdown cells which recapitulate the LSFC disease phenotype and subject them to expression profiling using Affymetric microarrays to identify genesets and biochemical pathways that are altered.

Polymorphisms in mitochondrial DNA genes coding for subunits in complex I differentially control lifespan and ageing-related pathways in mice.

Project description:Mitochondrial complex I, the largest enzyme complex of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation machinery, has been proposed to contribute to variety of age-related pathological alterations as well as longevity. The enzyme complex-consisting proteins are encoded by both nuclear- (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). While some association studies of mtDNA-encoded complex I genes and lifespan in humans have been reported, experimental evidence and functional consequence of such variants are limited to studies using invertebrate models. Here, we present experimental evidence that a homoplasmic mutation in mitochondrially encoded complex I gene, mt-Nd2, modulates lifespan by altering cellular tryptophan levels and consequently ageing-related pathways in mice. A conplastic mouse strain carrying a mutation at m.4738C>A in mt-Nd2 lived significantly shorter than the controls. The same mutation led to higher susceptibility to glucose intolerance induced by high fat diet feeding. These phenotypes were not observed in mice carrying a mutation in another mtDNA-encoded complex I gene, mt-Nd5, suggesting functional relevance of particular mutations in complex I to ageing and age-related diseases.

The human mitochondrial mRNA structurome reveals mechanisms of gene expression

Project description:The mammalian mitochondrial genome encodes thirteen proteins of the oxidative phosphorylation system, crucial in aerobic energy transduction. These proteins are translated from 9 monocistronic and 2 bicistronic transcripts, whose native structures remain unexplored, leaving fundamental molecular determinants of mitochondrial gene expression unknown. To address this knowledge gap, we developed a mitoDMS-MaPseq approach and used DREEM clustering to resolve the native mt-mRNA structurome in human mitochondria. In this way, we gained insights into mt-mRNA biology and translation regulatory mechanisms, including a unique translational frameshifting for the ATP8/ATP6 transcript. Furthermore, absence of the mt-mRNA maintenance factor LRPPRC led to a mitochondrial transcriptome structured differently, with specific mRNA regions exhibiting increased or decreased structuredness. This highlights the role of LRPPRC in maintaining mRNA folding to promote mt-mRNA stabilization and efficient translation. In conclusion, our mt-mRNA folding maps reveal novel mitochondrial gene expression mechanisms, serving as a detailed reference and tool for studying them in different physiological and pathological contexts.
