Structural determinants for tRNA selective cleavage by RNase 2/EDN

ABSTRACT: tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) have emerged as key players of immunoregulation. Some RNase A superfamily members participate in the shaping of tRFs population. By comparing wild-type and knock-out macrophage cell lines our previous work (Lu L, et al. CMLS, 2022, 79: 209) revealed that RNase 2 can selectively cleave tRNAs. Here, we confirm the in vitro protein cleavage pattern by screening synthetic tRNAs, single-mutant variants and anticodon-loop DNA/RNA hairpins. By sequencing the tRFs products, we identified the cleavage selectivity by recombinant RNase 2 with base specificity at B1 (U/C) and B2 (A) sites, consistent with a previous cellular study. Knowledge of RNase 2 specific tRFs generation might guide new therapeutic approaches for infectious and immune-related diseases.

Differential expression of human tRNA genes drives the abundance of tRNA-derived fragments

Project description:The human genome encodes hundreds of tRNA genes but their individual contribution to the tRNA pool is not fully understood. Deep sequencing of tRNA transcripts (tRNA-Seq) can estimate tRNA abundance at single gene resolution, but tRNA structures and post-transcriptional modifications impair these analyses. Here we present a bioinformatics strategy to investigate differential tRNA gene expression and use it to compare tRNA-Seq datasets from cultured human cells and human brain. We find that sequencing caveats affect quantitation of only a subset of human tRNA genes. Unexpectedly, we detect several cases where the differences in tRNA expression among samples do not involve variations at the level of isoacceptor tRNA sets (tRNAs charged with the same amino acid but using different anticodons); but rather among tRNA genes within the same isodecoder set (tRNAs having the same anticodon sequence). Because isodecoder tRNAs are functionally equal in terms of genetic translation, their differential expression may be related to non-canonical tRNA functions. We show that several instances of differential tRNA gene expression result in changes in the abundance of tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) but not of mature tRNAs. Examples of differentially expressed tRFs include: PIWI-associated RNAs, tRFs present in tissue samples but not in cells cultured in vitro, and somatic tissue-specific tRFs. Our data support that differential expression of tRNA genes regulate non-canonical tRNA functions performed by tRFs.

3'-tRF-CysGCA overexpression alters the expression profile of HEK-293 cells and modulates cellular processes and pathways

Project description:tRNA fragments (tRFs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that are generated through the cleavage of tRNAs and have been implicated in various biological processes. Among the different types of tRFs, the 3′-tRFs have attracted considerable scientific interest due to their regulatory role in gene expression. In this study, we investigated the role of 3′-tRF-CysGCA, a tRF derived from cleavage in the T-loop of tRNACysGCA, in the regulation of gene expression in HEK-293 cells. Previous studies have shown that 3′-tRF-CysGCA is incorporated into the RISC complex and interacts with Argonaute proteins, suggesting its involvement in the regulation of gene expression. However, the general role and effect of the deregulation of 3′-tRF-CysGCA levels in human cells have not been investigated so far. To address this gap, we stably overexpressed 3′-tRF-CysGCA in HEK-293 cells and performed transcriptomics and proteomics experiments. Moreover, we validated the interaction of this tRF with putative targets whose levels were affected after 3′-tRF-CysGCA overexpression. Last, we investigated the implication of 3′-tRF-CysGCA in various pathways using extensive bioinformatics analysis. Our results indicate that 3′-tRF-CysGCA overexpression led to changes in the cell expression profile, and we identified multiple pathways that were affected by the deregulation of this tRF. Additionally, our reporter assays demonstrated that 3′-tRF-CysGCA directly interacted with TMPO and ERGIC1, leading to changes in their expression levels. Taken together, these findings suggest that 3′-tRF-CysGCA plays a significant role in the regulation of gene expression and highlight the potential importance of this tRF in cellular processes.

Detection of the tRNA-derived fragments in human pancreatic islets of control individuals

Project description:Cytosolic and mitochondrial fragments that arise from the cleavage of tRNAs and mt-tRNAs, respectively, have been identified as potential novel regulators of cellular functions. In this study we identified hundreds of fragments in the pancreatic islets of healthy human individuals. We were able to annotate 3593 tRFs (16-55 base pairs) present in the islets of healthy human individuals (we considered a minimum of 5 cpm values in each of the 3 samples). Interestingly, the vast majority of the tRFs whose levels are altered in pancreatic islets of prediabetic NOD mice and in extracellular vesicles released by activated CD4+ T lymphocytes, are conserved in humans and were detected in human pancreatic islets. This suggests a possible conservation of the findings of this study in a human context.

Study of the tRNA-derived fragment expression profile in mouse pancreatic islets of pre-diabetic obese db/db mice

Project description:In this study, we discovered cytosolic and mitochondrial fragments resulting from tRNA and mt-tRNA cleavage, which may act as new regulators of cellular and metabolic functions. We analyzed hundreds of these fragments in the pancreatic islets of db/db mice and compared them to heterozygous control db/+ mice. At 16 weeks of age, db/db mice exhibit obesity, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance. In our analysis, we identified 3858 tRFs in the islets of db/db mice, among which 342 exhibited significant changes (≥ 2 fold; adjusted p value ≤ 0.05) compared to controls. Of these, 199 tRFs showed increased levels, while 170 tRFs showed decreased levels in the pre-diabetic mice. Notably, a striking majority (147 out of 170) of the tRFs with reduced abundance in the islets of db/db mice were derived from the cleavage of tRNAs encoded by the mitochondrial genome. Our findings reveal a significant reshaping of mitochondrial tRFs in pre-diabetic conditions, coinciding with a well-established mitochondrial metabolic defect under these conditions. Specifically, we demonstrated that a fragment (named mt-tRF-LeuTAA) resulting from the cleavage of mt-tRNA-LeuTAA, encoded by the mitochondrial genome and found to be reduced in the islets of db/db mice, acts as a key regulator of mitochondrial OXPHOS functions, mitochondrial membrane potential, the insulin secretory capacity of ß-cells, and the insulin sensitivity of myotube muscle cells.

Queuosine modification protects cognate tRNAs against ribonuclease cleavage

Project description:Eukaryotic transfer RNAs (tRNA) contain on average 13 modifications that perform a wide range of roles in translation and in the generation of tRNA fragments that regulate gene expression. Queuosine (Q) modification occurs in the wobble anticodon position of tRNAs for amino acids His, Asn, Tyr, and Asp. In eukaryotes, Q modification is fully dependent on diet or on gut microbiome in multi-cellular organisms. Despite decades of study, cellular roles of Q modification remain to be fully elucidated. Here we show that in human cells, Q modification specifically protects its cognate tRNAHis and tRNAAsn against cleavage by ribonucleases. We generated cell lines that contain completely depleted or fully Q-modified tRNAs. Using these resources, we found that Q modification significantly reduces angiogenin cleavage of its cognate tRNAs in vitro. Q modification does not change the cellular abundance of the cognate full-length tRNAs, but alters the cellular content of their fragments in vivo in the absence and presence of stress. Our results provide a new biological aspect of Q modification and a mechanism of how Q modification alters small RNA pool in human cells.

tRFs and tiRNA expression profile in human OA ACL cells and NA ACL cells.

Project description:tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) are new noncoding RNAs, and recent studies have shown that tRNAs and tRFs have important functions in cell metabolism via posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. However, whether tRFs regulate cellular metabolism of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remains elusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the role and action mechanism of tRFs in ACL cell metabolism. Arraystar_tRF&tiRNA was used to determine tRFs and tiRNA expression profiles in human OA ACL cells and NA ACL cells。

The previously uncharacterized YlxR (RnpM) protein modulates the activity of ribonuclease P

Project description:Even though Bacillus subtilis is one of the most studied organisms, no function has been identified for about 20% of its proteins. Among these unknown proteins are several RNA- and ribosome-binding proteins suggesting that they exert functions in cellular information processing. In this work, we have investigated the RNA-binding protein YlxR. This protein is widely conserved in bacteria and strongly constitutively expressed in B. subtilis suggesting an important function. We have identified the RNA subunit of the essential RNase P as the binding partner of YlxR. The main activity of RNase P is the processing of 5’ ends of pre-tRNAs. In vitro processing assays demonstrated that the presence of YlxR results in reduced RNase P activity. Chemical cross-linking studies followed by in silico docking analysis and experiments with site-directed mutant proteins suggest that YlxR binds to the region of the RNase P RNA that is important for binding and cleavage of the pre-tRNA substrate. We conclude that the YlxR protein is a check protein that serves to limit RNase P activity to ensure appropriate amounts of mature tRNAs for translation. We rename the YlxR protein RnpM for RNase P modulator.
