Optimized periphery-core interface increases fitness of the Bacillus subtilis glmS ribozyme

ABSTRACT: Like other functional RNAs, ribozymes contain a conserved catalytic center supported by peripheral domains that vary among ribozyme sub-families. To understand how core-peripheral interactions contribute to ribozyme fitness, we compared the cleavage kinetics of all single base substitutions at 152 sites across the Bacillus subtilis glmS ribozyme by high-throughput sequencing (ClvSeq). The in vitro activity map mirrored phylogenetic sequence conservation in glmS ribozymes, indicating that biological fitness reports all biochemically important positions. Most deleterious mutations impaired RNA self-assembly. All-atom MD simulations of the complete ribozyme revealed how individual mutations in the core or the IL4 peripheral loop rewire the network of hydrogen bonds around the catalytic site. Remarkably, IL4 mutations introduce a non-native helix interface that corrupts folding of the wild type core, eliminating activity. The results illustrate how competition between native and non-native structures in RNA drives the natural selection of central and peripheral tertiary interaction motifs.

Hovlinc is a recently evolved class of ribozyme found in human lncRNA

Project description:Naturally-occurring catalytic RNA molecules — ribozymes — have attracted a great deal of research interest, yet very few of them have been identified in humans. Here, we developed a genome-wide approach to discover self-cleaving ribozymes and identified one naturally-occurring ribozyme in humans. The secondary structure and biochemical properties of this ribozyme indicate that it belongs to yet un-identified class of small self-cleaving ribozymes. The sequence of the ribozyme exhibits a clear evolutionary path from appearance between ~130 and ~65 million years ago (mya) to gain of self-cleavage activity very recently, ~13–10 mya, in the common ancestor of humans, chimpanzees and gorillas. The ribozyme appears to be functional in vivo and is embedded within an lncRNA belonging to the class of very long intergenic non-coding (vlinc) RNAs. The presence of a catalytic RNA enzyme in lncRNA opens a possibility that these transcripts could function by carrying catalytic RNA domains.

Inducible knockdown of Plasmodium gene expression using the glmS ribozyme

Project description:Conventional reverse genetic approaches for study of Plasmodium malaria parasite gene function are limited, or not applicable. Hence, new inducible systems are needed. Here we describe a method to control P. falciparum gene expression in which target genes bearing a glmS ribozyme in the 3M-bM-^@M-2 untranslated region (3M-bM-^@M-2-UTR) are efficiently knocked down in transgenic P. falciparum parasites in response to exogenous glucosamine (GlcN) inducer. Using reporter genes, we show that the glmS ribozyme cleaves reporter mRNA in vivo leading to reduction in mRNA expression following GlcN treatment. GlcN-induced ribozyme activation also led to efficient reduction of reporter protein, which could be rapidly reversed by removing the inducer. The glmS ribozyme was validated as a reverse-genetic tool by integration into the essential gene and antifolate drug target dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (PfDHFR-TS). GlcN treatment of transgenic parasites led to rapid and efficient knockdown of PfDHFR-TS mRNA and protein. PfDHFR-TS knockdown led to a growth/arrest mutant phenotype and hypersensitivity to pyrimethamine. The glmS ribozyme is thus an important tool for study of P. falciparum essential genes and anti-malarial drug discovery. mRNA profiles were generated from 3D7 wild-type and DHFR-TS-GFP_glmS integrant parasites in untreated and treated with 10 mM Glucosamine conditions in duplicate.

Project description:Conventional reverse genetic approaches for study of Plasmodium malaria parasite gene function are limited, or not applicable. Hence, new inducible systems are needed. Here we describe a method to control P. falciparum gene expression in which target genes bearing a glmS ribozyme in the 3′ untranslated region (3′-UTR) are efficiently knocked down in transgenic P. falciparum parasites in response to exogenous glucosamine (GlcN) inducer. Using reporter genes, we show that the glmS ribozyme cleaves reporter mRNA in vivo leading to reduction in mRNA expression following GlcN treatment. GlcN-induced ribozyme activation also led to efficient reduction of reporter protein, which could be rapidly reversed by removing the inducer.

Plasmodium falciparum MORC protein modulates gene expression through interaction with heterochromatin

Project description:The MORC (microrchidia) family of proteins is highly conserved in all eukaryotic cells and have been shown to play diverse roles by forming protein-protein interactions with immune-responsive proteins, SWI chromatin remodeling complexes, histone deacetylases, and histone tail modifications across metazoans. To dissect the functional roles of MORC in the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, we developed a glmS based ribozyme knockdown system to induce PfMORC knockdown upon glucosamine (GlcN) induction. We further conducted a transcriptomic analysis in PfMORC-HA-glmS knockdown parasites at the asexual stage to investigate alterations in global gene expression. Our results indicate an overrepresentation of downregulated genes belonging to the heterochromatin-associated hypervariable gene family proteins. Overall, we found that PfMORC controls the asexual gene expression of the P. falciparum and can be a potential target for malaria disease containment.

Resistance to inflammation underlies enhanced fitness in clonal hematopoiesis [II]

Project description:Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) results from enhanced fitness of a mutant hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC), but how such clones expand is unclear. Here, we developed a technique that combines mosaic mutagenesis with color labeling of HSPCs to study how acquired mutations affect clonal fitness in a native environment. Mutations in CH-associated genes, like asxl1, promoted clonal dominance. Single-cell transcriptional analysis revealed that mutations stimulated expression of proinflammatory genes in mature myeloid cells and anti-inflammatory genes in progenitor cells of the mutant clone. Biallelic loss of one such immunomodulator, nr4a1, abrogated the ability of asxl1-mutant clones to establish clonal dominance. These results support a model where clonal fitness of mutant clones is driven by enhanced resistance to inflammatory signals from their mutant mature cell progeny.

Deep mutational scanning and mobility-based selection for 6 RNA targets

Project description:RNA mutations are known to change mobility in native gels. What is not known is if mobility can serve as an effective tool to separate structurally similar (structural homologs) from structurally destabilized variants in a deep-mutation library of an RNA. Here we defined the proportion of a mutant in the native band from native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) as a native-mobility-fitness score. The fitness scores of single and double mutants allowed a unsupervised, RNA-specific analysis to detect key secondary and tertiary base pairs through covariational signals. Subsequent amplification of these signals and their use as restraints for folding led to not only high-accuracy secondary structures with the F1-score > 0.9, but also quality tertiary-structure models between 3.6 Å and 7.7 Å RMSD from their native structures for the best in top 5 models for 6 RNAs tested including two CASP 15 difficult targets. This MobiSeq method should provide a simple and effective method for inferring 2D and 3D structures and improving mechanistic understanding of all structured RNAs.
