Determinants of selectivity in the dicing mechanism

ABSTRACT: The RNase III enzyme, DICER, is instrumental in the production of small RNAs, including miRNAs and siRNAs, by cleaving their precursors, such as pre-miRNAs, shRNAs, and long duplex RNAs. Utilizing High-throughput (HT) cleavage assays, our study delves into the cleavage activity of DICER. We challenge the widely accepted 2-nt loop counting rule in the previous study, revealing a divergent mechanism, the bipartite base pairing rule. This rule directs DICER's cleavage sites via the RNase III domain. Moreover, we demystify the recognition mechanism of the previously identified YCR motif. Building on this understanding, a secondary YCR motif that also influences DICER's cleavage sites has been discovered. We also address a long-debated issue concerning DICER's cleavage sites on long stem RNAs, such as pre-siRNAs or long shRNAs/pre-miRNAs. Our study shows that the dsRBD plays a crucial role in determining the cleavage sites of DICER in long-stem RNAs. In sum, our research provides a comprehensive understanding of several fundamental DICER mechanisms, challenging the long-standing model of the loop counting rule. This newfound knowledge reshapes our understanding of DICER's mechanisms, providing a robust foundation for future studies investigating the vast number of DICER mutations linked to various diseases.

The loop position of shRNAs and pre-miRNAs is critical for the accuracy of Dicer processing in vivo

Project description:Short-hairpin RNA (shRNA)-induced RNAi is used for biological discovery and therapeutics. Dicer, whose normal role is to liberate endogenous miRNAs from their precursors, processes shRNAs into different biologically active siRNAs, affecting their efficacy and potential for off-targeting. We found that in cells, Dicer induced imprecise cleavage events around the expected sites based on the previously described 5'/3'-counting rules. These promiscuous non-canonical cleavages were abrogated when the cleavage site was positioned 2 nt from a bulge or loop. Interestingly, we observed that the ~1/3 of mammalian endogenous pre-miRNAs that contained such structures were more precisely processed by Dicer. Implementing a new "loop-counting rule", we designed potent anti-HCV shRNAs with substantially reduced off-target effects. Our results suggest that Dicer recognizes the loop/bulge structure in addition to the ends of shRNAs/pre-miRNAs for accurate processing. This has important implications for both miRNA processing and future design of shRNAs for RNAi-based genetic screens and therapies. Various shRNAs were expressed in Cell and processed by the RNase III enzyme Dicer. The profiles of the siRNA products were generated by deep sequencing with or without the Ago2-IP.

Two-motif model illuminates DICER's cleavage preferences [DICER-mutants]

Project description:In humans, DICER is a key regulator of gene expression in animals through its production of miRNAs and siRNAs by processing miRNA precursors (pre-miRNAs), short-hairpin RNAs (shRNAs), and long double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). To advance our understanding of this process, we employed high-throughput assays using various shRNA variants and both wild-type and mutant DICER (DICERΔdsRBD). Our analysis revealed that DICER predominantly cleaves shRNAs at two positions, specifically at 21 (DC21) and 22 (DC22) nucleotides from the 5'-end. Our investigation identified two independent motifs, mWCU and YCR, that determine whether DICER cleaves at DC21 or DC22, depending on their locations in shRNA/pre-miRNAs. These motifs can work together or independently to determine the cleavage sites of DICER. Furthermore, our findings indicate that dsRBD enhances cleavage at DC21, and mWCU strengthens the interaction between dsRBD and RNA, leading to an even greater enhancement of DC21 cleavage. Conversely, YCR functions independently of dsRBD. Our study proposes a two-motif model that sheds light on the intricate regulatory mechanisms involved in gene expression by elucidating how DICER recognizes its substrate, providing valuable insights into this critical biological process.

The effects of the 5' pocket motif of Dicer on miRNA biogenesis

Project description:A hallmark of RNA silencing is a class of ~22 nt RNAs which are processed from dsRNA precursor by Dicer. Accurate processing by Dicer is critical for the functionality of microRNAs (miRNAs). According to the current model, Dicer measures the length by anchoring the 3' overhang of the dsRNA terminus. Here we find that human Dicer binds to the 5' end of RNA and utilizes the 5' end as an additional reference point for cleavage site selection (5' counting rule). We further identify a novel motif (5'-pocket) in Dicer, which recognizes the 5' end of RNA. By analyzing miRNA population from 5'-pocket mutant Dicer expressing Dicer-null mES, we provide that the 5' pocket is significant for Dicer processing in vivo.

MicroRNA-seq of MDA-MB-231 cells transduced with anti-ELOVL5 and control shRNAs

Project description:MiRNA isoforms (isomiRs) are single stranded small RNAs originating from the same pri-miRNA hairpin as a result of cleavage by Drosha and Dicer enzymes. Variations at the 5’-end of a miRNA alter the seed region of the molecule, thus affecting the targetome of the miRNA. MDA-MB-231 cells were transduced with shRNAs against ELOVL5 and luciferase genes. Small RNA sequencing was used to study the cleavage profiles of shRNAs.
