Target-directed microRNA degradation broadly regulates microRNA expression and embryonic growth in mammals

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression that play critical roles in development and disease. Target-directed miRNA degradation (TDMD), a pathway in which miRNAs that bind to specialized targets with extensive complementarity are rapidly decayed, has emerged as a potent mechanism of controlling miRNA levels. Nevertheless, the biological role and scope of miRNA regulation by TDMD in mammals remains poorly understood. To address these questions, we generated mice with constitutional or conditional deletion of Zswim8, which encodes an essential TDMD factor. Loss of Zswim8 resulted in major developmental defects in heart and lung, growth restriction, and perinatal lethality. Small RNA sequencing of embryonic tissues revealed widespread miRNA regulation by TDMD. Deletion of two miRNAs, miR-322 and miR-503, rescued growth of Zswim8 null embryos, directly implicating the TDMD pathway as a key regulator of mammalian body size. These data reveal the broad landscape and developmental role of TDMD in mammals.

The ZSWIM8 ubiquitin ligase mediates target-directed microRNA degradation [dataset3]

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) associate with Argonaute (AGO) proteins to direct widespread post-transcriptional gene repression. Although association with AGO typically protects miRNAs from nucleases, extensive pairing to some unusual target RNAs can trigger miRNA degradation. Here we found that this target-directed miRNA degradation (TDMD) required the ZSWIM8 Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase. This and other findings suggested and supported a mechanistic model of TDMD in which target-directed proteolysis of AGO by the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway exposes the miRNA for degradation. Moreover, loss-of-function studies indicated that the ZSWIM8 Cullin-RING ligase accelerates degradation of numerous miRNAs in cells of mammals, flies, and nematodes, thereby specifying the half-lives of most short-lived miRNAs. These results elucidate the mechanism of TDMD and expand the inferred role of TDMD in shaping miRNA levels in bilaterian animals.

Widespread microRNA degradation elements in target mRNAs can assist the encoded proteins

Project description:Binding of microRNAs (miRNA) to mRNAs normally results in post-transcriptional repression. However, extensive base-pairing between miRNAs and target RNAs can trigger miRNA degradation, a phenomenon called target RNA-directed miRNA degradation (TDMD). Here, we systematically analyzed Argonaute-CLASH (crosslinking, ligation, and sequencing of miRNA-target RNA hybrids) data, and identified numerous candidate TDMD triggers based on their ability to induce non-templated nucleotide addition at the miRNA 3 end. When overexpressed in HEK293T cells, nine highly conserved triggers induce degradation of corresponding miRNAs. Consistent with previous reports, both the TDMD base-pairing and surrounding sequences are important for TDMD. CRISPR knockout of endogenous trigger or ZSWIM8, a ubiquitin ligase essential for TDMD, reduce miRNA degradation. Furthermore, degradation of miR-221 and miR-222 by a trigger in BCL2L11, which encodes an apoptotic protein, enhances apoptosis. Therefore, we uncovered widespread TDMD triggers in target RNAs and demonstrated that they can functionally cooperate with the encoded proteins.

Widespread destabilization of C. elegans microRNAs by the E3 ubiquitin ligase EBAX-1 [RNA-Seq]

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) associate with Argonaute (AGO) proteins to form a complex that directs mRNA repression. One way that miRNAs are regulated is at the level of their stability. Some animal miRNAs are destabilized through a pathway in which pairing to specialized RNA transcripts recruits the ZSWIM8 E3 ubiquitin ligase, which polyubiquitinates AGO, leading to its degradation and exposure of the miRNA to cellular nucleases. We found that 22 miRNAs in C. elegans are sensitive to loss of EBAX-1, the ZSWIM8 ortholog in nematodes, implying that these 22 miRNAs might be subject to this pathway of target-directed miRNA degradation (TDMD). These miRNAs included the embryonic miR-35–42 family, as well as other miRNAs among the least stable in the worm, suggesting that TDMD is a major pathway of miRNA destabilization in the worm. The excess miR-35–42 molecules that accumulated in ebax-1 mutants caused increased repression of their predicted target mRNAs and underwent 3′ trimming over time. In general, however, miRNAs sensitive to loss of EBAX-1 did not have a consistent pattern of either trimming or tailing. A previous study reports that in contrast to TDMD substrates in mammals and flies, the 3′ region of miR-35 is not required for its destabilization, raising the question of whether the 3′ regions of other miRNAs are dispensable for EBAX-1 sensitivity in nematodes. To address this question, we replaced the 3′ region of another EBAX-sensitive miRNA, miR-43, and found that this replacement greatly reduced EBAX-sensitivity in the worm. Together, these findings broaden the implied biological scope of TDMD-like regulation of miRNA stability in animals, and indicate that the requirement for miRNA 3′ sequences in this process is variable in the worm.
