Project description:Yeast cells undergoing the diauxic response show a striking upstream shift in poly(A) site utilization, with increased use of ORF-proximal poly(A) sites resulting in shorter 3’ mRNA isoforms for most genes. This altered poly(A) pattern is extremely similar to that observed in cells containing Pol II derivatives with slow elongation rates. Conversely, cells containing derivatives with fast elongation rates show a subtle downstream shift in poly(A) sites. Polyadenylation patterns of many genes are sensitive to both fast and slow elongation rates, and a global shift of poly(A) utilization is strongly linked to increased purine content of sequences flanking poly(A) sites. Pol II processivity is impaired in diauxic cells, but strains with reduced processivity and normal Pol II elongation rates have normal polyadenylation profiles. Thus, Pol II elongation speed is important for poly(A) site selection and for regulating poly(A) patterns in response to environmental conditions.

Project description:Cells have compensatory mechanisms to coordinate the rates of major biological processes, thereby permitting growth in a wide variety of conditions. Here, we uncover a compensatory link between cleavage/polyadenylation in the nucleus and mRNA turnover in the cytoplasm. On a global basis, same-gene 3’ mRNA isoforms with > two-fold differences in half-lives have steady-state mRNA levels that differ by significantly less than a factor of two. In addition, increased efficiency of cleavage/polyadenylation at a specific site is associated with reduced stability of the corresponding 3’ mRNA isoform. This inverse relationship between cleavage/polyadenylation and mRNA isoform half-life reduces the variability in the steady-state levels of mRNA isoforms, and it occurs in all four growth conditions tested. These observations suggest that during cleavage/polyadenylation in the nucleus, mRNA isoforms are marked in a manner that persists upon translocation to the cytoplasm and affects the activity of mRNA degradation machinery, thus influencing mRNA stability.

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation yields many mRNA isoforms whose 3’ termini occur disproportionately in clusters within 3’ UTRs. Profiles of poly(A) site usage are regulated by the rate of transcriptional elongation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II). Pol II derivatives with slow elongation rates confer an upstream-shifted poly(A) profile, whereas fast Pol II strains confer a downstream-shifted poly(A) profile. In yeast, upstream and downstream shifts within isoform clusters occur steadily at the nucleotide level. In contrast, changes from one isoform to the next are much smaller between clusters, even when the distances between them are relatively large. Pol II occupancy increases just downstream of the most speed-sensitive poly(A) sites, suggesting a linkage between reduced elongation rate and cluster formation. These observations suggest that 1) Pol II elongation speed affects the nucleotide-level dwell time allowing polyadenylation to occur, 2) poly(A) site clusters are linked to the local elongation rate and hence do not arise simply by intrinsically imprecise cleavage and polyadenylation of the RNA substrate, 3) DNA sequence elements can affect Pol II elongation and poly(A) profiles, and 4) the cleavage/polyadenylation and Pol II elongation complexes are spatially, and perhaps physically, coupled so that polyadenylation occurs rapidly upon emergence of the nascent RNA from the Pol II elongation complex.

Project description:Genes containing multiple polyadenylation (polyA) sites express mRNA isoforms with variable 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs). We found that short and long 3’UTR isoforms were relatively more abundant when genes were highly and lowly expressed, respectively, in human and mouse cells. Consistently, upregulated and downregulated genes were more likely to have shortened and lengthened 3’UTRs, respectively, when genes changed expression under different cell conditions or in response to extracellular stimuli. Using nuclear run-on assays, we found that RNA polymerase II (Pol II) was more likely to pause at the polyA site of highly expressed genes than that of lowly expressed ones. Moreover, in line with the difference in polyA site usage, highly expressed genes tend to have higher H3K4me3 and H3K36me3 levels but a lower density of nucleosome around promoter-proximal polyA sites relative to distal ones. Taken together, our results indicate that the efficiency of 3’ end processing is generally coupled to transcriptional activity, leading to modulation of polyA site choice by transcription and thus connecting transcriptional control with post-transcriptional regulation via pre-mRNA processing.

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) of mRNAs has emerged as an important mechanism for post-transcriptional gene regulation in higher eukaryotes. Although microarrays have recently been used to characterize APA globally, they have a number of serious limitations that prevents comprehensive and highly quantitative analysis. To better characterize APA and its regulation, we have developed a deep sequencing-based method called Poly(A) Site Sequencing (PAS-Seq) for quantitatively profiling RNA polyadenylation at the transcriptome level. PAS-Seq not only accurately and comprehensively identifies poly(A) junctions in mRNAs and noncoding RNAs, but also provides quantitative information on the relative abundance of polyadenylated RNAs. We first analyzed HeLa cell transcriptome using PAS-Seq to demonstrate that PAS-Seq not only accurately and comprehensively identifies poly(A) junctions, but also provide quantitative information on the relativel abundance of APA isoforms. Next we analyzed the mouse embryonic stem cells, neural stem/progenitor cells, and neurons by PAS-Seq to characterize the dynamic changes of mRNA polyadenylation during stem cell differentiation.

Project description:Most eukaryotic genes express mRNAs with alternative polyadenylation sites at their 3’ ends. Here we show that polyadenylated 3’ termini in three yeast species (S. cerevisiae, K. lactis, D. hansenii) are remarkably heterogeneous. Instead of a few discrete 3’ ends, the average yeast gene has an “end zone”, a >200 bp window with >60 distinct poly(A) sites, the most utilized of which represents only 20% of the mRNA molecules. The pattern of polyadenylation within this zone varies across species, with D. hansenii possessing a higher focus on a single dominant point closer to the ORF terminus. Some polyadenylation occurs within mRNA coding regions with a strong bias towards the promoter. The polyadenylation pattern is determined by a highly degenerate sequence over a broad region and by a local sequence that relies on A residues after the cleavage point. Many dominant poly(A) sites are predicted to adopt a common secondary structure that may be recognized by the cleavage/polyadenylation machinery. We suggest that the end zone reflects a region permissive for polyadenylation, within which cleavage occurs preferentially at the A-rich sequence. In S. cerevisiae strains, D. hansenii genes adopt the S. cerevisiae polyadenylation profile, indicating that the polyadenylation pattern is mediated primarily by species-specific factors. Four sequencing lanes containing direct RNA sequence from S. cerevisiae (strains JGY2000 and two replicates of AB1380), K. lactis strain CLIB209, D. hansenii strain NCYC2572, and S. cerevisiae strains JYAC06 and JYAC07, each harboring D. hansenii sequences on a YAC. AB1380 is the non-YAC-containing S. cerevisiae parental strain for JYAC06 and JYAC07.

Project description:This study is the first to report genome-scale polyadenylation events in S.mediterranea using poly-A position profiling (3P-Seq).Various cis-acting elements such as hexameric PAS & U/GU enrichment after cleavage site were observed to be conserved in planaria.The cleavage site derived from 3P-Seq could be successfully associated with ~38-60% of transcripts (Makers -38%, oxford- 60% and Dresden- 44%).We also investigated the functional consequences of altered 3’UTRs arising from ApA. Around 97 transcripts were observed to undergo coding region alternate polyadenylation (CR-ApA) that resulted in loss of specific domains from proteins (as inferred from pfam domain search). In this study, we also demonstrated that microRNA-mediated regulation might be one of the key factors playing an important role in selection/evolution of alternate 3’UTRs. The 3’ UTR is one of the key regulatory element that decides the fate of mRNA inside a cell. Switching isoforms according to the need of cell and environmental cues could help the cell to adapt. In this study, we also attempted to study the tissue-specific role of ApA pattern in planaria. Due to the limitations associated with isolation of different tissue-specific cells from planaria, we performed a high-throughput microarray analysis across X1, X2 and Xins cell populations. We were clearly able to identify the differential expression pattern of the ApA events across cell population.

Project description:Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) generates diverse mRNA isoforms. We developed 3' region extraction and deep sequencing (3'READS) to address mispriming issues that commonly plague poly(A) site (pA) identification, and we used the method to comprehensively map pAs in the mouse genome. Thorough annotation of gene 3' ends revealed over 5,000 previously overlooked pAs (~8% of total) flanked by A-rich sequences, underscoring the necessity of using an accurate tool for pA mapping. About 79% of mRNA genes and 66% of long noncoding RNA genes undergo APA, but these two gene types have distinct usage patterns for pAs in introns and upstream exons. Quantitative analysis of APA isoforms by 3'READS indicated that promoter-distal pAs, regardless of intron or exon locations, become more abundant during embryonic development and cell differentiation and that upregulated isoforms have stronger pAs, suggesting global modulation of the 3' endM-bM-^@M-^Sprocessing activity in development and differentiation. 3'READS to map pAs in mouse genome
