Truncated protein isoforms generate diversity of protein localization and function in yeast

ABSTRACT: Genome-wide measurements of ribosome occupancy on mRNA transcripts have enabled global empirical identification of translated regions. These approaches have revealed an unexpected diversity of protein products, but high-confidence identification of new coding regions that entirely overlap annotated coding regions – including those that encode truncated protein isoforms – has remained challenging. Here, we develop a sensitive and robust algorithm focused on identifying N-terminally truncated proteins genome-wide, identifying 388 truncated protein isoforms, a more than 30-fold increase in the number known in budding yeast. We perform extensive experimental validation of these truncated proteins and define two general classes. The first set lack large portions of the annotated protein sequence and tend to be produced from a truncated transcript. We show two such cases, Yap5truncation and Pus1truncation, to have condition-specific regulation and functions that appear distinct from their respective annotated isoforms. The second set of N-terminally truncated proteins lack only a small region of the annotated protein and are less likely to be regulated by an alternative transcript isoform. Many localize to different subcellular compartments than their annotated counterpart, representing a common strategy for achieving dual localization of otherwise functionally identical proteins.

Translation initiation site profiling reveals widespread synthesis of non-AUG-initiated protein isoforms in yeast

Project description:Genomic analyses in budding yeast have helped to define the foundational principles of eukaryotic gene expression, but have systematically excluded specific classes of potential coding regions, including those with non-AUG start codons. Without methods to define coding regions empirically, the prevalence of these non-canonical coding regions has been impossible to assess. Here, we applied an experimental approach to globally annotate translation initiation sites in yeast and identified a class of 149 genes that encode N-terminally extended alternate protein isoforms that result from translation initiation at non-AUG codons upstream of the annotated AUG start codon. These alternate isoforms are produced in concert with canonical isoforms and are translated with a high degree of specificity, resulting from initiation at only a small subset of possible start codons in 5’ leader regions. Their translation is enriched during meiosis, and is induced by low eIF5A levels, which are observed in this context. These findings reveal widespread production of non-canonical protein isoforms and, more generally, show unexpected complexity to the rules by which the budding yeast genome is decoded.

Bidirectional enhancer RNAs regulate different MYB promoters

Project description:MYB is a pivotal oncogenic driver in leukemia and is overexpressed through various mechanisms. Transcriptional regulation of MYB is complex with an alternative MYB promoter (TSS2) located in intron 1. Here, we identified two bidirectional enhancer RNAs transcribed from the -34 kb enhancer of MYB. These two eRNAs both upregulate MYB transcription, and promote proliferation and migration in leukemia cells. To further elucidate how eRNAs regulate MYB expression, we analyzed MYB differential exon usage in RNASeq data with the DEXSeq package after overexpression of eRNAs in K562 cells. We found that bidirectional enhancer RNAs regulate different MYB promoters. Transcription initiating from TSS2 produces N-terminally truncated MYB protein lacking the first 20 amino acids. To analyze the genes and pathways affected by both MYB isoforms, RNA-seq was performed after MYB or N-terminally truncated MYB was overexpressed in K562 cells. We found that N-terminally truncated MYB exhibits different activity in K562 cells, where it not only activates different primary targets, but also different downstream pathways altogether.

Canonical Wnt pathway controls mESCs self-renewal through inhibition of spontaneous differentiation via β-catenin/TCF/LEF functions

Project description:The Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway is a key regulator of embryonic stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. Constitutive activation of this pathway has been shown to significantly increase mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) self-renewal and pluripotency marker expression. In this study, we generated a novel β-catenin knock-out model in mESCs by using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to delete putatively functional N-terminally truncated isoforms observed in previous knock-out models. While we showed that aberrant N-terminally truncated isoforms are not functional in mESCS, we observed that canonical Wnt signalling is not active in mESCs, as β-catenin ablation does not alter mESC transcriptional profile in LIF-enriched culture conditions; on the other hand, Wnt signalling activation represses mESC spontaneous differentiation. We also showed that transcriptionally silent β-catenin (ΔC) isoforms can rescue β-catenin knock-out self-renewal defects in mESCs, cooperating with TCF1 and LEF1 in the inhibition of mESC spontaneous differentiation in a Gsk3 dependent manner.

Truncated Tau - Role of the Tau N-terminal region in microtubule stabilization revealed by new endogenous truncated forms

Project description:Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that ensures neuronal shape and function. Besides, Tau is a central player in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related Tauopathies where it is found aggregated in degenerating neurons. Mechanisms leading to Tau pathology and its progression are far from being elucidated. Among Tau species found in AD brains, several yet unidentified truncated Tau fragments are showed. A major step forward in the understanding of the role of Tau truncation would be to identify the precise cleavage sites of Tau species. This key step is mandatory to generate appropriate experimental tools in order to investigate the impact of each identified truncated-species on Tau function/dysfunction. Here, we achieved an optimized proteomics approach and succeed in identifying a number of new N-terminally truncated-Tau species from human brain. As N-terminal residues of these fragments are located broadly across Tau sequence, one could expect to have different effects on Tau. We initiated cell-based functional studies by analyzing biochemical characteristics of two N-terminally truncated Tau species starting at residues Met11 and Gln124 (accordingly to the longest Tau isoform) regarding Tau microtubule function. Our results surprisingly showed that the ability of Tau to bind and stabilize microtubules was greater when the first 123 residues are truncated, suggesting that Tau N-terminus would have a role in regulation of microtubule stabilization. Overall, future studies based on our new N-terminally truncated-Tau species will provide new knowledge on the role of truncation in Tau biology as well as in AD pathological process.

The Sp100 component of ND10/PML bodies is a potent tumor suppressor

Project description:Identifying the functions of proteins, which define specific subnuclear structures and territories, is important for understanding eukaryotic nuclear dynamics. Sp100 is a prototypical protein of ND10/PML bodies and co-localizes with the proto-oncogenic protein PML and Daxx, proteins with critical roles in oncogenic transformation, interferon-mediated viral resistance and response to PML-directed cancer therapeutics. Sp100 isoforms contain PHD, Bromo and HMG domains and are highly sumoylated at ND10/PML bodies, all characteristics suggestive of a role in chromatin mediated gene regulation. However, no clear role for the Sp100 component of PML bodies in oncogenesis has been defined. Using isoform-specific knockdown techniques, we show that most human diploid fibroblasts, which lack Sp100, rapidly senesce and discuss gene expression changes associated with this rapid senescence.

Polysome-CAGE of TCL1-driven chronic lymphocytic leukemia revealed induction of multiple N-terminally altered epigenetic regulators and a translation stress signature

Project description:The transformation of normal to malignant cells is accompanied by substantial changes in gene expression programs through diverse mechanisms. Here we examined the changes in the landscape of transcription start sites (TSSs) and alternative promoter (AP) usage and their impact on the translatome in TCL1-driven chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Our findings revealed a marked elevation of APs in CLL cells from Eµ-Tcl1 transgenic mice, which are particularly enriched with intragenic promoters that generate N-terminally truncated or modified proteins. Intragenic promoter activation is mediated by (i) loss of function of ‘closed chromatin’ epigenetic regulators due to the generation of inactive N-terminally modified isoforms or reduced expression; (ii) upregulation of transcription factors, including c-Myc, targeting the intragenic promoters and associated enhancers. Exogenous expression of Tcl1 in MEFs is sufficient to induce intragenic promoters of epigenetic regulators and promote c-Myc expression. We further found a dramatic translation downregulation of transcripts bearing CNY cap-proximal tri-nucleotides, reminiscent of cells undergoing metabolic stress. These findings uncovered the role of Tcl1 oncogenic function in altering promoter usage and mRNA translation in leukemogenesis.
