Project description:The RNA exosome is an RNA degradation machine that is critical for eukaryotic transcriptome surveillance and mutations in exosome components cause numerous human diseases. The exosome is directed to specific RNAs by adaptor protein complexes. However, it remains unclear how these adaptors specifically recognize their target RNAs. The PAXT connection is an adaptor that recruits the exosome to polyadenylated RNAs in the nucleus, especially transcripts polyadenylated at intronic poly(A) sites. Here we show that PAXT-mediated degradation is induced by the combination of a 5′ splice site and a poly(A) junction, which includes the poly(A) signal and the poly(A) tail, but not by either sequence alone. These two sequences are bound by the splicing factor U1 snRNP and pre-mRNA 3′ processing factors, which in turn cooperatively recruit PAXT. As 5′ splice sites and poly(A) junctions are typically found on unspliced precursors and processed RNAs respectively, we propose that their presence on the same RNA molecule constitutes an “RNA degradation code”. Consistent with this model, disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms that create novel 5′ splice sites near poly(A) sites induce aberrant RNA degradation. Our results revealed the first nuclear RNA degradation code that plays important roles in transcriptome surveillance and may also influence gene evolution.

Project description:RNA metabolism is controlled by an expanding yet incomplete catalog of RNA binding proteins (RBPs), many of which lack characterized RNA binding domains. Approaches to expand the RBP repertoire to discover non-canonical RBPs are currently needed. Here, HaloTag fusion pull-down of twelve nuclear and cytoplasmic RBPs followed by quantitative mass-spectrometry (MS) demonstrates that proteins interacting with multiple RBPs in an RNA-dependent manner are enriched for RBPs. This motivated SONAR, a computational approach that predicts RNA binding activity by analyzing large-scale affinity precipitation-MS protein-protein interactomes. Without relying on sequence or structure information, SONAR identifies 1923 human, 489 fly and 745 yeast RBPs, including over 100 human candidate RBPs that contain zinc finger domains. Enhanced CLIP confirms RNA binding activity and identifies transcriptome-wide RNA binding sites for SONAR-predicted RBPs, revealing unexpected RNA binding activity for disease-relevant proteins and DNA binding proteins.

Project description:Linking DNA sequence to genomic function remains one of the grand challenges in genetics and genomics. Here, we combine large-scale single-molecule transcriptome sequencing of diverse cancer cell lines with cutting-edge machine learning to build LoRNASH, an RNA foundation model that learns how the nucleotide sequence of unspliced pre-mRNA dictates transcriptome architecture—the relative abundances and molecular structures of mRNA isoforms. Owing to its use of the StripedHyena architecture, LoRNASH handles extremely long sequence inputs at base-pair resolution (~65 kilobase pairs), allowing for quantitative, zero-shot prediction of all aspects of transcriptome architecture, including isoform abundance, isoform structure, and the impact of DNA sequence variants on transcript structure and abundance. We anticipate that our public data release and the accompanying frontier model will accelerate many aspects of RNA biotechnology. More broadly, we envision the use of LoRNASH as a foundation for fine-tuning of any transcriptome-related downstream prediction task, including cell-type specific gene expression, splicing, and general RNA processing.

Project description:Nucleosome conformation dictates the histone code
| PRJNA632919 | ENA
Project description:Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a critical role in chromatin regulation. It has been proposed that these PTMs form localized “codes” that are read by specialized domains (reader domains) in chromatin associated proteins (CAPs) to regulate downstream function. Substantial effort has been made to define [CAP - histone PTM] specificity, and in doing so to decipher the histone code. However, this has largely been done using a reductive approach of isolated reader domains and histone peptides, with the assumption that PTM readout is unaffected by any higher order considerations. Here we show that histone PTM specificity is in fact dependent on nucleosomal context, necessitating we re-define the ‘histone code’ concept and further interrogate it at the nucleosomal level.

Project description:A proliferated and post-translationally modified microtubule network underlies cellular growth in cardiac hypertrophy and contributes to contractile dysfunction in heart failure. Yet how the heart achieves this modified network is poorly understood. Determining how the “tubulin code” – the permutations of tubulin isoforms and post-translational modifications - is rewritten upon cardiac stress may provide new targets to modulate cardiac remodeling. Further, while tubulin can autoregulate its own expression, it is unknown if autoregulation is operant in the heart or tuned in response to stress. Here we use heart failure patient samples and murine models of cardiac remodeling to interrogate transcriptional, autoregulatory, and post-translational mechanisms that contribute to microtubule network remodeling at different stages of heart disease. We find that autoregulation is operant across tubulin isoforms in the heart and leads to an apparent disconnect in tubulin mRNA and protein levels in heart failure. We also find that within 4 hours of a hypertrophic stimulus and prior to cardiac growth, microtubule detyrosination is rapidly induced to help stabilize the network. This occurs concomitant with rapid transcriptional and autoregulatory activation of specific tubulin isoforms and microtubule motors. Upon continued hypertrophic stimulation, there is an increase in post-translationally modified microtubule tracks and anterograde motors to support cardiac growth, while total tubulin content increases through progressive transcriptional and autoregulatory induction of tubulin isoforms. Our work provides a new model for how the tubulin code is rapidly rewritten to establish a proliferated, stable microtubule network that drives cardiac remodeling, and provides the first evidence of tunable tubulin autoregulation during pathological progression.
