Nuclear export is a limiting factor in eukaryotic mRNA metabolism

ABSTRACT: The eukaryotic mRNA life cycle includes transcription, nuclear mRNA export and degradation. To quantify all these processes simultaneously, we perform thiol-linked alkylation after metabolic labeling of RNA with 4-thiouridine (4sU), followed by sequencing of RNA (SLAM-seq) in the nuclear and cytosolic compartments. We develop a model that reliably quantifies mRNA synthesis, nuclear export, and nuclear and cytosolic degradation rates on a genome-wide scale. We find that nuclear degradation of polyadenylated mRNA is negligible and nuclear mRNA export is slow, while cytosolic mRNA degradation is comparatively fast. Consequently, an mRNA molecule generally spends most of its life in the nucleus. We also observe large differences in the nuclear export rates of different 3’UTR transcript isoforms. Furthermore, we identify genes whose expression is abruptly induced upon metabolic labeling. These transcripts are exported substantially faster than average mRNAs, suggesting the existence of alternative export pathways. Our results highlight nuclear mRNA export as a limiting factor in mRNA metabolism and gene regulation.

Quantification of subcellular mRNA kinetics in mouse embryonic stem cells (flavopiridol)

Project description:In this work, we quantified mRNA flow rates between subcellular compartments in mouse embryonic stem cells. Combining metabolic RNA labeling, biochemical cell fractionation and RNA sequencing with mathematical modeling we were able to determine the kinetic rates of nuclear pre-, nuclear mature, cytosolic and membrane mRNA derived from more than 9000 protein-coding genes. For more than 5000 genes, we additionally estimated the transcript elongation rate. For most of the transcripts, mature nuclear half-lives are the longest, suggesting nuclear retention to be the rate-limiting step in the mRNA life cycle. Genes encoding transcription factors and immediate early genes possess fast kinetic rates, specifically a short nuclear half-life. Differentially localized mRNAs exhibit distinct combinations of rate constants, suggesting modular control within subcellular compartments. We show that membrane stability is high for membrane-localized mRNA and that cytosolic stability is high for cytosol-localized mRNA. Genes encoding target signals, such as signal peptides or transmembrane domains, have low cytosolic and high membrane half-lives with only slight differences between target signals. Nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins show long nuclear mature half-lives and otherwise similar features of cytoplasmic kinetics that do not resemble co-translational targeting to the mitochondria.

Comprehensive Analysis of Nucleocytoplasmic Dynamics of mRNA in Drosophila cells

Project description:Eukaryotic mRNAs undergo a cycle of transcription, nuclear export, and degradation. A major challenge is to obtain a global, quantitative view of these processes. Here we measured the genome-wide nucleocytoplasmic dynamics of mRNA in Drosophila cells by metabolic labeling in combination with cellular fractionation. By mathematical modeling of these data we determined rates of transcription, export and cytoplasmic decay for >5,000 genes. We characterized these kinetic rates and investigated links with mRNA features, RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and chromatin states. We found prominent correlations between mRNA decay rate and transcript size, while nuclear export rates are linked to the size of the 3'UTR. Transcription, export and decay rates are each associated with distinct spectra of RBPs. Specific classes of genes, such as those encoding cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins, exhibit characteristic combinations of rate constants, suggesting modular control. Overall, transcription and decay rates have a major impact on transcript abundance, while nuclear export is of minor importance. Finally, correlations between rate constants suggest global coordination between the three processes. Our approach should be generally applicable to other cell systems and provides insights into the genome-wide nucleocytoplasmic kinetics of mRNA.

Characterisation of the temporal hepatic transcriptome at subcellular level

Project description:In eukaryotes, RNA is synthesized in the nucleus, spliced, and exported to the cytoplasm where it is translated and finally degraded. Any of these steps could be subject to temporal regulation during the circadian cycle, generating daily fluctuations of RNA accumulation and impacting the distribution of transcripts in different subcellular compartments. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis of nuclear and cytoplasmic, polyA and total, transcriptomes of mouse livers sampled along the daily cycle. These data provide a genome-wide temporal inventory of RNA subcellular enrichments, and revealed specific signatures of splicing, nuclear export and cytoplasmic mRNA stability related to transcript and gene lengths. Combined with a mathematical model describing rhythmic RNA profiles , we could test the rhyhtmicity of export rates and cytoplasmic degradation rates of ~1400 genes. While nuclear export times are usually much shorter than cytoplasmic half-lives, we found that that nuclear export contributes to the modulation and generation of rhythmic profiles of ~10% of the cycling nuclear mRNAs. This study provides an estimation of the nuclear and cytoplasmic life times in the liver and contributes to a better understanding of the dynamic regulation of the transcriptome during the feeding-fasting cycle.

SLAM-Drop-seq reveals mRNA kinetic rates throughout the cell cycle

Project description:We combined RNA metabolic labeling and alkylation with droplet-based sequencing to detect newly synthesized mRNAs in single cells. With the classification of labeled and unlabeled precursor and mature mRNAs, we modeled and analyzed the time-dependent RNA kinetic rates associated with the cell cycle. We found both transcription and degradation rates are highly dynamic over the cell cycle and different kinetic regulation types were observed for cycling genes.

Genome-wide quantification of RNA flow across subcellular compartments reveals determinants of the mammalian transcript life cycle

Project description:Dissecting the regulatory mechanisms controlling mammalian transcripts from production to degradation requires quantitative measurements of mRNA flow across the cell. We developed subcellular TimeLapse-seq to measure the rates at which RNAs are released from chromatin, exported from the nucleus, loaded onto polysomes, and degraded within the nucleus and cytoplasm in human and mouse cells. These rates varied substantially, yet transcripts from genes with related functions or targeted by the same transcription factors and RNA-binding proteins flowed across subcellular compartments with similar kinetics. Verifying these associations uncovered a link between DDX3X and nuclear export. For hundreds of RNA metabolism genes, most transcripts with retained introns were degraded by the nuclear exosome, while the remaining molecules were exported with stable cytoplasmic lifespans. Transcripts residing on chromatin for longer had extended poly(A) tails, whereas the reverse was observed for cytoplasmic mRNAs. Finally, machine learning identified molecular features that predicted the diverse life cycles of mRNAs.

Global SLAM-Seq for accurate mRNA decay determination and identification of NMD targets

Project description:Gene expression analysis requires accurate measurements of global RNA degradation rates, earlier problematic with methods disruptive to cell physiology. Recently, metabolic RNA labeling emerged as an efficient and minimally invasive technique applied in mammalian cells. Here, we have adapted SH-Linked Alkylation for the Metabolic Sequencing of RNA (SLAM-Seq) for a global mRNA stability study in yeast using 4-thiouracil pulse-chase labeling. We assign high-confidence half-life estimates for 67.5 % of expressed ORFs, and measure a median half-life of 9.4 min. For mRNAs where half-life estimates exist in the literature, their ranking order was in good agreement with previous data, indicating that SLAM-Seq efficiently classifies stable and unstable transcripts. We then leveraged our yeast protocol to identify targets of the Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway by measuring the change in RNA half-lives; instead of steady-state RNA level changes. With SLAM-Seq, we assign 580 transcripts as putative NMD targets, based on their measured half-lives in wild-type and upf3Δ mutants. We find 225 novel targets, and observe a strong agreement with previous reports of NMD targets, 61.2 % of our candidates being identified in previous studies.This indicates that SLAM-Seq is a simpler and more economic method for global quantification of mRNA half-lives. Our adaptation for yeast yielded global quantitative measures of the NMD effect on transcript half-lives, high correlation with RNA half-lives measured previously with more technically challenging protocols, and identification of novel NMD regulated transcripts that escaped prior detection.

Verifying these associations uncovered roles for DDX3X and PABPC4 in nuclear export. For hundreds of genes, most transcripts were degraded within the nucleus, while the remaining molecules were exported and persisted with stable lifespans. Transcripts residing on chromatin for longer had extended poly(A) tails, whereas the reverse was observed for cytoplasmic mRNAs. Finally, a machine learning model identified additional molecular features that underlie the diverse life cycles of mammalian mRNAs.
