Project description:Ribosomes, as a protein synthesis machine, are required for stem cells to maintain self-renewal. Here, we find that DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX10 is necessary for cellular pluripotency acquisition in somatic cell reprogramming, and in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), DDX10 degradation disrupts cellular homeostasis, leads to cell cycle arrest in G1 phase and markedly inhibits cell proliferation. DDX10 is localized in dense fiber component (DFC) and granular component (GC), mainly binds to 45S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and participates in regulating ribosome biogenesis. Specifically, DDX10 degradation prevents the release of U3 snoRNA from pre-rRNA, and disrupts pre-rRNA processing and maturation of 18S rRNA, leading to impaired ribosomal small subunit production. Together, this study reveals that DDX10 functions as an important regulator of ribosome biogenesis, and is essential for the survival, induction and maintenance of pluripotent stem cells.

Project description:The nucleolus composes hundreds of proteins that play distinct roles in ribosomal RNA (rRNA) processing within Fibrillar Center/Dense Fibrillar Component (FC/DFC) units and ribosome assembly in Granular Component (GC). The sub-nucleolar localization of most proteins and how their unique localization facilitates rRNA processing have remained elusive. By screening 200 nucleolar candidate proteins with high-resolution, live-cell microscopy, we identified a previously undescribed sub-nucleolar compartment, named the periphery of DFC (PDFC). Among the 12 proteins identified in PDFC, URB1 (unhealthy ribosome biogenesis 1) is required for PDFC organization and proper 3' end processing of 47S pre-rRNA. URB1 binds between the 28S rRNA and the 3' external transcribed spacer (3' ETS) to ensure 3' ETS removal, which occurs at the DFC/PDFC boundary. Loss of URB1 leads to accumulation of aberrant 3' ETS-retained 32S pre-rRNA variants, which activates exosome-dependent nucleolar surveillance. This causes decreased 28S rRNA production, reduced cell proliferation and retarded mouse embryonic pre-implementation development. Furthermore, urb1 depletion results in developmental craniofacial disorder in zebrafish, which can be at least partially rescued by further depleting exosome components. Together, this study provides new insights into functional sub-nucleolar organizations, identifies a physiologically essential step in rRNA maturation and emphasizes the exosome-dependent pre-rRNA surveillance pathway.

Project description:In all domains of life, the rate of protein synthesis is directly linked to the rates of cell growth and proliferation. Consequently, highly proliferative cancer cells are especially sensitive to perturbations in ribosome biogenesis. While ribosome synthesis and cancer have a well-established relationship, only recently has ribosome biogenesis drawn interest as a cancer therapeutic target. Here, we have exploited the relationship between ribosome biogenesis and cancer cell proliferation by using a potent ribosome biogenesis inhibitor: RBI2 (Ribosome Biogenesis Inhibitor 2) to perturb cancer cell growth and viability. We demonstrate that RBI2 significantly decreases cell viability in malignant melanoma cells and breast cancer cell lines. Treatment with RBI2 dramatically and rapidly decreases ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis, without affecting the occupancy of RNA polymerase I (Pol I) on the ribosomal DNA template. Next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) reveals that RBI2 and previously described ribosome biogenesis inhibitor CX-5461 induce distinct changes in the transcriptome. Investigation of the content of the pre-rRNAs through RT-qPCR reveals an increase in polyadenylation of cellular rRNA after treatment with RBI2, a known pathway by which rRNA degradation occurs. Northern blotting revealed that RBI2 does not appear to impair or alter rRNA processing. Collectively, these data suggest that RBI2 inhibits rRNA synthesis distinctly from other previously described ribosome biogenesis inhibitors, potentially through a novel pathway that upregulates turnover of premature rRNAs.

Project description:NOL12 5'-3' exoribonucleases, conserved among eukaryotes, play important roles in pre-rRNA processing, ribosome assembly and export. The most well-described yeast counterpart, Rrp17, is required for maturation of 5.8 and 25S rRNAs, whereas human hNOL12 is crucial for the separation of the large (LSU) and small (SSU) ribosome subunit rRNA precursors. In this study we demonstrate that plant AtNOL12 is also involved in rRNA biogenesis, specifically in the processing of the LSU rRNA precursor, 27S pre-rRNA. Importantly, the absence of AtNOL12 alters the expression of many ribosomal protein and ribosome biogenesis genes. These changes could potentially exacerbate rRNA biogenesis defects, or, conversely, they might stem from the disturbed ribosome assembly caused by delayed pre-rRNA processing. Moreover, exposure of the nol12 mutant to stress factors, including heat and pathogen Pseudomonas syringae, enhances the observed molecular phenotypes, linking pre-rRNA processing to stress response pathways. The aberrant rRNA processing, dependent on AtNOL12, could impact ribosome function, as suggested by improved mutant resistance to ribosome-targeting antibiotics. Despite extensive studies, the pre-rRNA processing pathway in plants remains insufficiently characterized. Our investigation reveals the involvement of AtNOL12 in the maturation of rRNA precursors, correlating this process to stress response in Arabidopsis. These findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of plant ribosome biogenesis.

Project description:Stem cells in many systems, including Drosophila germline stem cells (GSCs), have increased ribosome biogenesis and translation during terminal differentiation. Here, we show that pseudouridylation of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) mediated by the H/ACA box is required for ribosome biogenesis and oocyte specification. Reducing ribosome levels during differentiation decreased the translation of a subset of mRNAs that are enriched for CAG repeats and encodes polyglutamine-containing proteins, including differentiation factors such as RNA-binding Fox protein 1. Moreover, ribosomes were enriched at CAG repeats within transcripts during oogenesis. Increasing TOR activity to elevate ribosome levels in H/ACA box-depleted germlines suppressed the GSC differentiation defects, whereas germlines treated with the TOR inhibitor rapamycin had reduced levels of polyglutamine-containing proteins. Thus, ribosome biogenesis and ribosome levels can control stem cell differentiation via selective translation of CAG repeat-containing transcripts.

Project description:Epigenetic methyl-CpG silencing of the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes is thought to down-regulate rRNA synthesis in mammals. In contrast, we now show that CpG methylation in fact positively influences rRNA synthesis and processing. Human HCT116 cells, inactivated for DNMT1 and DNMT3b or treated with aza-dC, lack CpG methylation and reactivate a large fraction of normally silent rRNA genes. Unexpectedly, these cells display reduced rRNA synthesis and processing, and accumulate unprocessed 45S rRNA. Reactivation of the rRNA genes is associated with their cryptic transcription by RNA polymerase II. Ectopic expression of cryptic rRNA gene transcripts recapitulates the defects associated with loss of CpG methylation. The data demonstrate that rRNA gene silencing prevents cryptic RNA polymerase II transcription of these genes. Lack of silencing leads to the partial disruption of rRNA synthesis and rRNA processing, providing an unexpected explanation for the cytotoxic effects of loss of CpG methylation. Agilent custom microarray analyses of transcripts from sense and antisense strands of the human rRNA genes present in total nuclear RNA from HCT116-DNMT1-/-;DNMT3b-/- (DKO) and HCT116 (PS) cells. The DKO/PS RNA ratio was normalized within the 5’ region of the 45S ribosomal RNA, since this sense coding region was found by quantitative Northern and S1-mapping analyses to equally present in the RNA pools from both cells (as compared to total RNA levels and 18S and 28S levels). The distribution for sense RNAs from the coding region is strongly influenced by the predominant RPI 45S rRNA transcript and hence peaks at 0, the DKO and PS 45S rRNA signals having been normalized.

Project description:The budding yeast E3 SUMO ligase Mms21, a component of the Smc5-6 complex, regulates sister chromatid cohesion, DNA replication, and DNA repair. We identify a role for Mms21 in ribosome biogenesis. The mms21RINGD mutant exhibits reduced rRNA production, nuclear accumulation of 60S and 40S ribosomal proteins, and elevated Gcn4 translation. Genes involved in ribosome biogenesis and translation are down-regulated in the mms21RINGD mutant.

A total of 1,146 different non-overlapping probes (573 for each DNA strand) were designed to cover the 43 kb of human rDNA and each printed in triplicate on the array. The experiment was performed using a dye-swap duplicate analysis. The microarrays were scanned on a G2565CA DNA microarray scanner (Agilent Technologies) and the quantification performed using the Feature Extraction software (Agilent technologies). The data were analyzed using the LIMMA software package in R (Smyth and Speed, 2003).
