Isoform-specific translational control is evolutionarily conserved in primates

ABSTRACT: Alternative splicing (AS) influences the expression of human genes in diverse ways. We previously used subcellular fraction-sequencing (Frac-Seq) to reveal an unexpected connection between alternative splicing and isoform-specific mRNA translation. Here we apply comparative transcriptomics to explore alternative splicing coupled translational control (AS-TC) across 13 million years of primate evolution. We used Frac-seq to identify polyribosome associated mRNA isoforms from human, chimpanzee and orangutan induced pluripotent stem cell lines. We discovered orthologous AS-TC events with either conserved or species-specific translation patterns. Exons sequences associated with similar sedimentation profiles between species show strong sequence conservation compared to orthologous exons with divergent sedimentation profiles, suggesting exonic cis-regulatory elements influence to translational control. To test this hypothesis we created luciferase reporters from orthologous exons with divergent sedimentation profiles differing by a single nucleotide. Remarkably, single nucleotide substitutions were sufficient to drive species-specific expression of luciferase reporters. Together these data establish that cis-acting elements regulate AS-TC across primate species.

Branch point evolution controls species-specific alternative splicing and regulates long term potentiation

Project description:Regulation and functionality of species-specific alternative splicing has remained enigmatic for many years. Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIβ (CaMKIIβ) is expressed in several splice variants and plays a key role in learning and memory. Here, we identify and characterize several primate-specific CAMK2B splice isoforms, which show altered kinetic properties and changes in substrate specificity. Furthermore, we demonstrate that primate-specific Camk2β alternative splicing is achieved through branch point weakening during evolution. We show that reducing branch point and splice site strength during evolution globally renders constitutive exons alternative, thus providing a paradigm for cis-directed species-specific alternative splicing regulation. Using CRISPR/Cas9 we introduced the weaker human branch point into the mouse genome, resulting in human-like CAMK2B splicing in the brain of mutant mice. We observe a strong impairment of long-term potentiation in CA3-CA1 synapses of mutant mice, thus connecting branch point-controlled, species-specific alternative splicing with a fundamental function in learning and memory.

An Alternative Splicing Event Amplifies Evolutionary Differences Between Vertebrates

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) generates extensive transcriptomic and proteomic complexity. However, the functions of species- and lineage-specific splice variants are largely unknown. Here, we show that mammalian-specific skipping of exon 9 of PTBP1 alters its splicing regulatory activities and affects the inclusion levels of numerous exons. During neurogenesis, skipping of exon 9 reduces PTBP1 repressive activity so as to facilitate activation of a brain-specific AS program. Engineered skipping of the orthologous exon in chicken cells induces a large number of mammalian-like AS changes in PTBP1 target exons. These results thus reveal that a single exon skipping event in an RNA binding regulator directs numerous AS changes between species. The results further suggest that these changes contributed to evolutionary differences in the formation of vertebrate nervous systems. This study contains two sets of samples: (Set 1) mRNA profiling of human 293 cells subjected to four different conditions in two biological replicates: non-targetting control siRNA, PTBP1 and PTBP2 siRNA, PTBP1 and PTBP2 siRNA with overexpression of full-length human PTBP1, PTBP1 and PTBP2 siRNA with overexpression of exon-excluded human PTBP1. (Set 2) mRNA profiling of chicken DT40 cells with 3 genotypes in two bioligcal replicates: wildtype cells, cells with PTBP1 exon 8 (orthologous to human PTBP1 exon 9) deleted in one allele, and cells with PTBP1 exon 8 deleted in both alleles.

Efficient, specific and combinatorial control of endogenous exon splicing with dCasRx-RBM25

Project description:Efficient targeted control of exon splicing is a major goal of functional genomic and therapeutic applications. Guide RNA-directed, deactivated (d)Cas CRISPR enzymes fused to splicing effectors represent a promising strategy due to the flexibility and presumed specificity of these systems. However, efficient, selective, and generalizable activation of targeted endogenous exons using this approach has not been reported. Here, we identify dCasRx-RBM25 as a potent activator of exons by screening over 300 dCasRx splicing factor fusions tethered to splicing reporters. dCasRx-RBM25 also strongly activates splicing of endogenous alternative exons, when recruited to downstream intron sequences using single guide RNAs. In transcriptome wide analyses we observe a high degree of specificity of dCasRx-RBM25 for endogenous exon targeting. We further leverage the guide array-processing activity of dCasRx to simultaneously target multiple endogenous exons for activation and repression by dCasRx-RBM25. Our results pave the way for versatile exon-resolution functional assays and splicing-directed therapeutic applications.

Evolutionary dynamics of gene and isoform regulation in mammalian tissues

Project description:Most mammalian genes produce multiple distinct mRNAs through alternative splicing, but the extent of splicing conservation is not clear. To assess tissue-specific transcriptome variation across mammals, we sequenced cDNA from 9 tissues from 4 mammals and one bird in biological triplicate, at unprecedented depth. We find that while tissue-specific gene expression programs are largely conserved, alternative splicing is well conserved in only a subset of tissues and is frequently lineage-specific. Thousands of novel, lineage-specific and conserved alternative exons were identified; widely conserved alternative exons had signatures of binding by MBNL, PTB, RBFOX, STAR and TIA family splicing factors, implicating them as ancestral mammalian splicing regulators. Our data also indicates that alternative splicing is often used to alter protein phosphorylatability, delimiting the scope of kinase signaling. Tissue transcriptomes from 9 tissues from 5 species, 3 individuals per species, were sequenced and compared (two samples for mouse_heart). <br> Curation note: E-GEOD-41637 (9 tissues, 5 organisms) has been split into five artefactual ArrayExpress experiments, one experiment per species for inclusion in Expression Atlas. Each artefactual experiment omits the processed data files (which are still available via the original E-GEOD-41637 records).

Long read subcellular fractionation and sequencing reveals the translational fate of full length mRNA isoforms during neuronal differentiation

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) alters the cis-regulatory landscape of mRNA isoforms leading to transcripts with distinct localization, stability and translational efficiency. To rigorously investigate mRNA isoform-specific ribosome association, we generated subcellular fractionation and sequencing (Frac-seq) libraries using both conventional short reads and long reads from human embryonic stem cells (ESC) and neural progenitor cells (NPC) derived from the same ESC. We performed de novo transcriptome assembly from high-confidence long reads from cytosolic, monosomal, light and heavy polyribosomal fractions and quantified their abundance using short reads from their respective subcellular fractions. Thousands of transcripts in each cell type exhibited association with particular subcellular fractions relative to the cytosol. Of the multi-isoform genes, 27% and 19% exhibited significant differential isoform sedimentation in ESC and NPC respectively. Alternative promoter usage and internal exon skipping accounted for the majority of differences between isoforms from the same gene. Random forest classifiers implicated coding sequence (CDS) and UTR lengths as important determinants of isoform-specific sedimentation profiles, and motif analyses reveal potential cell type-specific and subcellular fraction-associated RNA-binding protein signatures. Taken together our data demonstrate that alternative mRNA processing within the CDS and UTRs impacts the translational control of mRNA isoforms during stem cell differentiation, and highlights the utility of using a novel long-read sequencing-based method to study translational control.

RNA-seq of poly-A enriched total RNA of brain, liver, kidney, heart and skeletal muscle samples from 5 vertebrate species: mouse, chicken, frog, lizard and pufferfish

Project description:How species with similar repertoires of protein coding genes differ so dramatically at the phenotypic level is poorly understood. From comparing the transcriptomes of multiple organs from vertebrate species spanning ~350 million years of evolution, we observe significant differences in alternative splicing complexity between the main vertebrate lineages, with the highest complexity in the primate lineage. Moreover, within as little as six million years, the splicing profiles of physiologically-equivalent organs have diverged to the extent that they are more strongly related to the identity of a species than they are to organ type. Most vertebrate species-specific splicing patterns are governed by the highly variable use of a largely conserved cis-regulatory code. However, a smaller number of pronounced species-dependent splicing changes are predicted to remodel interactions involving factors acting at multiple steps in gene regulation. These events are expected to further contribute to the dramatic diversification of alternative splicing as well as to other gene regulatory changes that contribute to phenotypic differences among vertebrate species. mRNA profiles of several organs (brain, liver, kidney, heart, skeletal muscle) in multiple vertebrate species (mouse, chicken, lizard, frog, pufferfish) generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq

SF3B1 association with chromatin determines splicing outcomes

Project description:Much remains unknown concerning the mechanism by which the splicing machinery pinpoints short exons within intronic sequences and how splicing factors are directed to their pre-mRNA targets. Part of the explanation probably lies in differences in chromatin organization between exons and introns. Proteomic, co-immunoprecipitation, and sedimentation analyses described here indicated that SF3B1, an essential splicing component of the U2 snRNP complex, is strongly associated with nucleosomes. ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analyses revealed that SF3B1 is specifically bound to nucleosomes located at exonic positions. SF3B1 binding is enriched at nucleosomes positioned over short exons flanked by long introns that are also characterized by differential GC content between exons and introns. Disruption of SF3B1 binding to such nucleosomes affected the splicing of these exons similarly to inhibition of SF3B1 expression. Our findings suggest that the association of SF3B1 with nucleosomes is functionally important for splice site recognition and that SF3B1 conveys splicing-relevant information embedded in chromatin structure.
