Selected humanization of yeast U1 snRNP leads to global suppression of pre-mRNA splicing and mitochondrial dysfunction in the budding yeast

ABSTRACT: The recognition of 5’ splice site (5’ ss) is one of the earliest steps of pre-mRNA splicing. To better understand the mechanism and regulation of 5’ ss recognition, we selectively humanized components of the yeast U1 snRNP to reveal the function of these components in 5’ ss recognition and splicing. We targeted U1C and Luc7, two proteins that interact with and stabilize the yeast U1 (yU1) snRNA and the 5’ ss RNA duplex. We replaced the Zinc-Finger (ZnF) domain of yU1C with its human counterpart, which resulted in cold-sensitive growth phenotype and moderate splicing defects. Next, we added an auxin-inducible degron to yLuc7 protein and found that Luc7-depleted yU1 snRNP resulted in the concomitant loss of PRP40 and Snu71 (two other essential yeast U1 snRNP proteins), and further biochemical analyses suggest a model of how these three proteins interact with each other in the U1 snRNP. The loss of these proteins resulted in a significant growth retardation accompanied by a global suppression of pre-mRNA splicing. The splicing suppression led to mitochondrial dysfunction as revealed by a release of Fe2+ into the growth medium and an induction of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. Together, these observations indicate that the human U1C ZnF can substitute that of yeast, Luc7 is essential for the incorporation of the Luc7-Prp40-Snu71 trimer into yeast U1 snRNP, and splicing plays a major role in the regulation of mitochondria function in yeast.

Novel RNA-binding Proteins Bind U1 snRNA to Promote Splicing of Weak 5' Splice Sites

Project description:Removal of introns during pre-mRNA splicing, which is central to gene expression, initiates by base pairing of U1 snRNA with a 5' splice site (5'SS). In mammals, many introns contain weak 5'SSs that are not efficiently recognized by the canonical U1 snRNP, suggesting alternative mechanisms exist. Here, we develop a cross-linking immunoprecipitation coupled to a high-throughput sequencing method, BCLIP-seq, to identify NRDE2 (Nuclear RNAi defective-2) and CCDC174 (Coiled-Coil Domain-Containing 174) as novel RNA-binding proteins in mouse ES cells that associate with U1 snRNA and unspliced 5'SSs. Both proteins bind directly to U1 snRNA independently of canonical U1 snRNP specific proteins, and they are required for the selection and effective processing of weak 5'SSs. Our results reveal that mammalian cells use non-canonical splicing factors bound directly to U1 snRNA to effectively select suboptimal 5'SS sequences in hundreds of genes, promoting proper splice site choice and accurate pre-mRNA splicing.

Frac-Seq Analysis of ZFC3H1 Knockdown U2OS Cells

Project description:We have found that depletion of the zinc finger protein ZFC3H1 inhibits the nuclear retention of these RNAs. ZFC3H1 forms a complex with MTR4 and PABPN1 (the PolyAdenylation EXosome Targeting complex (Meola et al 2016, Ogami et al 2017) and likely recruits the nuclear exosome for RNA degradation. Recently, we found that depletion of U1-70K, one protein component of the U1 snRNP spliceosomal complex, inhibits nuclear retention of 5’SS motif containing RNAs. The U1 snRNP complex recognizes and binds to the 5’SS motif and in vitro studies showed that U1-70K directly interact with a similar 5’SS motif through U1 snRNA binding (Gunderson et al 1999). Interestingly, we found that U1 snRNP is involved in targeting 5’SS motif containing mRNAs to nuclear speckles shortly following RNA transcription. In contrast, ZFC3H1 is involved in nuclear speckle localization post-transcriptionally and actively retain RNAs in these structures. Together, our results suggest a model where U1 snRNP interacts with the RNA via the 5’SS motif and targets mature mRNAs to nuclear speckles. Specifically, it suggests that misprocessed RNAs can be targeted to speckles (or other nucleoplasmic foci) and that these foci serve as a platform to recruit the nuclear exosome via ZFC3H1. Our results highlight a splicing independent role of U1 snRNP and how mRNA nuclear export function in nuclear surveillance to prevent the translation of aberrant proteins.

A genome-wide analysis indicates that yeast pre-mRNA splicing is predominantly post-transcriptional

Project description:Recent ChIP experiments indicate that spliceosome assembly and splicing can occur cotranscriptionally in S. cerevisiae. However, only a few genes have been examined, and all have long second exons. To extend these studies, we analyzed intron-containing genes with different second exon lengths, by ChIP as well as by whole-genome tiling arrays (ChIP-CHIP). The data indicate that U1 snRNP recruitment is independent of exon length. Recursive splicing constructs, which uncouple U1 recruitment from transcription, suggest that cotranscriptional U1 recruitment contributes to optimal splicing efficiency. In contrast, U2 snRNP recruitment as well as cotranscriptional splicing is deficient on short second exon-genes. We estimate that approximately 90% of endogenous yeast splicing is post-transcriptional, consistent with an analysis of post-transcriptional snRNP-associated pre-mRNA. Keywords: ChIP-CHIP

Cooperative engagement and subsequent selective displacement of SR proteins define the pre-mRNA 3D structural scaffold for early spliceosome assembly

Project description:We recently reported that serine-arginine-rich (SR) protein-mediated pre-mRNA structural remodeling generates a pre-mRNA 3D structural scaffold that is stably recognized by the early spliceosomal components. However, the intermediate steps between the free pre-mRNA and the assembled early spliceosome are not yet characterized. By probing the early spliceosomal complexes in vitro and RNA-protein interactions in vivo, we show that the SR proteins bind the pre-mRNAs cooperatively generating a substrate that recruits U1 snRNP and U2AF65 in a splice signal-independent manner. Excess U1 snRNP selectively displaces some of the SR protein molecules from the pre-mRNA generating the substrate for splice signal-specific, sequential recognition by U1 snRNP, U2AF65, and U2AF35. Our work thus identifies a novel function of U1 snRNP in mammalian splicing substrate definition, explains the need for excess U1 snRNP compared to other U snRNPs in vivo, demonstrates how excess SR proteins could inhibit splicing, and provides a conceptual basis to examine if this mechanism of splicing substrate definition is employed by other splicing regulatory proteins.

mRNA splicing is modulated by intronic microRNAs

Project description:Splicing of transcripts is catalyzed by the spliceosome, a mega-complex consisting of hundreds of proteins and five snRNAs, which employs direct interactions. When U1 snRNA forms high affinity binding, namely more than eight base-pairs, with the 5’SS, the result is usually a suppressing effect on the splicing activity. This likely occurs due to the inefficient unwinding of U1/5’SS base-pairing, or other regulatory obstructions. Here we show in vitro and in patient-derived cell lines that pre-microRNAs can modulate the splicing reaction by interacting with U1 snRNA. This leads to reduced binding affinity to the 5’SS, and hence promotes the inclusion of exons containing 5’SS, despite sequence-based high affinity to U1. Application of the mechanism resulted in correction of the splicing defect in the disease-causing VCAN gene from an individual with Wagner syndrome. This pre-miRNA/U1 interaction can regulate the expression of alternatively spliced exons, thus extending the scope of mechanisms regulating splicing.

Splicing factors and chromatin organization enhance exon recognition by alleviating constraints generated by gene nucleotide composition bias

Project description:To characterize the rules governing exon recognition during splicing, we analyzed RNA-seq datasets and identified ~4,000 GC-rich and ~5,000 AT-rich exons, labelled GC-exons and AT-exons, respectively whose inclusion depends on different sets of splicing factors. We show that a high GC-load is associated with predicted RNA secondary structures at 5'ss and that GC-exons are dependent on U1 snRNP-associated proteins. Meanwhile, a high AT-load is associated with a large number of decoy splicing-related signals upstream exons such as the number of branchpoints and SF1- or U2AF65-binding sites and AT-exons are dependent on U2 snRNP-associated proteins. Nucleotide composition bias also influences local chromatin organization. Since the GC content of exons correlates with that of their hosting-genes, -isochores and – topologically-associated domains, we propose that regional nucleotide composition bias leaves a footprint locally, at the exon level, inducing, during splicing, constraints that are alleviated by the local chromatin organization and specific splicing factors.

Promoter directionality is controlled by U1 snRNP and polyadenylation signals

Project description:Transcription of the mammalian genome is pervasive, but productive transcription outside of protein-coding genes is limited by unknown mechanisms. In particular, although RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) initiates divergently from most active gene promoters, productive elongation occurs primarily in the sense-coding direction. Here we show in mouse embryonic stem cells that asymmetric sequence determinants flanking gene transcription start sites control promoter directionality by regulating promoter-proximal cleavage and polyadenylation. We find that upstream antisense RNAs are cleaved and polyadenylated at poly(A) sites (PASs) shortly after initiation. De novo motif analysis shows PAS signals and U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) recognition sites to be the most depleted and enriched sequences, respectively, in the sense direction relative to the upstream antisense direction. These U1 snRNP sites and PAS sites are progressively gained and lost, respectively, at the 5' end of coding genes during vertebrate evolution. Functional disruption of U1 snRNP activity results in a dramatic increase in promoter-proximal cleavage events in the sense direction with slight increases in the antisense direction. These data suggest that a U1-PAS axis characterized by low U1 snRNP recognition and a high density of PASs in the upstream antisense region reinforces promoter directionality by promoting early termination in upstream antisense regions, whereas proximal sense PAS signals are suppressed by U1 snRNP. We propose that the U1-PAS axis limits pervasive transcription throughout the genome. 3' end sequencing of poly (A) + RNAs in mouse ES cells with and without U1 snRNP inhibition using antisense morpholino oligonucleotides (AMO). Each with two biological replicates.

Transcriptome changes in splicing inhibited cells

Project description:In eukaryotes, U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) forms spliceosomes in equal stoichiometry with U2, U4, U5 and U6 snRNPs; however, its abundance in human far exceeds that of the other snRNPs. Here we used antisense morpholino oligonucleotide to U1 snRNA to achieve functional U1 snRNP knockdown in HeLa cells, and identified accumulated unspliced pre-mRNAs by genomic tiling microarrays. In addition to inhibiting splicing, U1 snRNP knockdown caused premature cleavage and polyadenylation in numerous pre-mRNAs at cryptic polyadenylation signals, frequently in introns near (<5 kilobases) the start of the transcript. This did not occur when splicing was inhibited with U2 snRNA antisense morpholino oligonucleotide or the U2-snRNP-inactivating drug spliceostatin A unless U1 antisense morpholino oligonucleotide was also included. We further show that U1 snRNA–pre-mRNA base pairing was required to suppress premature cleavage and polyadenylation from nearby cryptic polyadenylation signals located in introns. These findings reveal a critical splicing-independent function for U1 snRNP in protecting the transcriptome, which we propose explains its overabundance.

LUC7 is an U1snRNP component that plays a role in alternative splicing and terminal introns removal in plants

Project description:Introns are removed by the spliceosome, a large complex composed of five ribonucleoprotein subcomplexes (U snRNP). In metazoans, the U1 snRNP, which binds to 5’ splice sites, also fulfills regulatory roles in splice site selection and possesses non-splicing related functions. Here, we show that an Arabidopsis U1 snRNP subunit, LUC7, affects constitutive and alternative splicing. Interestingly, LUC7 specifically promotes splicing of a subset of terminal introns. Splicing of LUC7-dependent terminal introns is a prerequisite for nuclear export and can be modulated by stress. Globally, intron retention under stress conditions occurs preferentially among first and terminal introns, uncovering an unknown bias for splicing regulation in Arabidopsis. Taken together, our study reveals that the Arabidopsis U1 snRNP is important for alternative splicing and removal of terminal introns and it suggests that Arabidopsis terminal introns fine-tune gene expression under stress conditions.
