Effect of Orb2 depletion on mRNA expression in Drosophila larval brains

ABSTRACT: Regulation of codon optimality is an increasingly appreciated layer of cell- and tissue-specific protein expression control. Here, we use codon-modified reporters to show that differentiation of Drosophila neural stem cells into neurons enables protein expression from rare-codon-enriched genes. From a candidate screen, we identify the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding (CPEB) protein Orb2 as a positive regulator of rare-codon-dependent expression in neurons. Using RNA sequencing, we reveal that Orb2-upregulated mRNAs in the brain with abundant Orb2 binding sites have a rare-codon bias. From these Orb2-regulated mRNAs, we demonstrate that rare-codon enrichment is important for expression control and social behavior function of the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR). Our findings reveal a molecular mechanism by which neural stem cell differentiation shifts genetic code regulation to enable critical mRNA and protein expression.

Polysome propensity and tunable thresholds in coding sequence length enable differential mRNA stability

Project description:The half-life of mRNAs, as well as their translation, increases proportionally to the optimal codons, indicating a tight coupling of codon-dependent differential translation and degradation. Little is known about the regulation of this coupling. We found that the coupling in yeast displays a dichotomous behavior regarding the mRNA coding sequence length. Below a critical length, codon optimality fails to affect the stability of mRNAs even though they can be efficiently translated into short peptides and proteins. Above this threshold length, codon optimality-dependent differential mRNA stability emerges in a switch-like fashion, which coincides with a similar increase in the polysome propensity of the mRNAs. This threshold length can be tuned by the untranslated regions (UTR). Some of these UTRs can destabilize mRNAs without reducing translation, which plays a role in controlling the amplitude of the oscillatory expression of cell-cycle genes. Our findings help understand the translation of short peptides from noncoding RNAs and the translation by localized monosomes in neurons.

tRNA-seq of Arabidopsis leaves during pattern-triggered immunity

Project description:During pattern-triggered immunity (PTI), the first line of active defense against infection in plants, the translatome undergoes rapid reprogamming. To understand how defense proteins are selectively translated, we conducted a genetic screen for regulators of PTI using a translational reporter. We identified a mutant of RNA helicase 12 (RH12) showing compromised reporter translation and pathogen resistance. RH12 is a homolog of yeast DEAD-box Helicase Homolog 1, which targets mRNAs with low codon optimality for decay. Therefore, we sequenced the Arabidopsis tRNAome to determine codon optimality during PTI. We discovered a PTI-associated reduction in overall codon optimality of the transcriptome, and found that the decay of transcripts with reduced optimality is mediated by interaction with RH12. Our results demonstrate the first example of codon optimality-associated decay as part of an adaptive response in which the dynamics of both the tRNAome and the transcriptome facilitate rapid changes in translational output during PTI.

Ribosome profiling study of Dhh1p overexpression and the dhh1 knockout strain using monosome-protected footprints

Project description:A major determinant of mRNA half-life is the codon-dependent rate of translational elongation. How the processes of translational elongation and mRNA decay communicate is unclear. In this study we establish that the DEAD-box helicase Dhh1p is the sensor of codon optimality (i.e. translational elongation rate) that targets an mRNA for decay. First, we find that mRNAs whose translation elongation rate is slowed by inclusion of non-optimal codons are specifically degraded in a DHH1-dependent manner. Biochemical experiments show that Dhh1p is preferentially associated with mRNAs with suboptimal codon choice. We find that these effects on mRNA decay are sensitive to the number of slow moving ribosomes on an mRNA. Using a tethering system, we establish that non-optimal mRNAs become preferentially saturated with ribosomes when Dhh1p is bound. Moreover, over-expression of Dhh1p leads to the accumulation of ribosomes specifically on mRNAs with low codon optimality in ribosome profiling experiments. Lastly, Dhh1p physically interacts with ribosomes in vivo. Together, these data argue that Dhh1p is a sensor for ribosome speed, targeting an mRNA for repression and subsequent decay.

Synonymous codon massive reporter library in zebrafish embryos

Project description:Messenger RNA (mRNA) stability substantially impacts steady-state gene expression levels in a cell. mRNA stability is strongly affected by codon composition in a translation-dependent manner across species, through a mechanism termed codon optimality. We have developed iCodon (www.iCodon.org), an algorithm for customizing mRNA expression through the introduction of synonymous codon substitutions into the coding sequence. iCodon is optimized for four vertebrate transcriptomes: mouse, human, frog, and fish. Users can predict the mRNA stability of any coding sequence based on its codon composition and subsequently generate more stable (optimized) or unstable (deoptimized) variants encoding for the same protein. Further, we show that codon optimality predictions correlate with both mRNA stability using a massive reporter library and expression levels using fluorescent reporters and analysis of endogenous gene expression in zebrafish embryos and/or human cells. Therefore, iCodon will benefit basic biological research, as well as a wide range of applications for biotechnology and biomedicine.

Translation and codon usage regulate Argonaute slicer activity to trigger small RNA biogenesis

Project description:In the Caenorhabditis elegans germline, thousands of mRNAs are concomitantly expressed with antisense 22G-RNAs, which are loaded into the Argonaute CSR-1. Despite their essential functions for animal fertility and embryonic development, how CSR-1 22G-RNAs are produced remains unknown. Here, we show that CSR-1 slicer activity is primarily involved in triggering the synthesis of small RNAs on the coding sequences of germline mRNAs and post-transcriptionally regulates a fraction of targets. CSR-1-cleaved mRNAs prime the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, EGO-1, to synthesize 22G-RNAs in phase with ribosome translation in the cytoplasm, in contrast to other 22G-RNAs mostly synthesized in germ granules. Moreover, codon optimality and efficient translation antagonize CSR-1 slicing and 22G-RNAs biogenesis. We propose that codon usage differences encoded into mRNA sequences might be a conserved strategy in eukaryotes to regulate small RNA biogenesis and Argonaute targeting

Cell type-specific translation profiling reveals a novel strategy for treating fragile X syndrome

Project description:Excessive mRNA translation downstream of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu1/5) is a core pathophysiology of fragile X syndrome (FX), however the differentially translating mRNAs that contribute to altered neural function are not known. We used Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP) and RNA-seq to identify mistranslating mRNAs in CA1 pyramidal neurons of the FX mouse model (Fmr1-/y) hippocampus, which exhibit exaggerated mGlu1/5-induced long-term synaptic depression (LTD). In these neurons, we find the Chrm4 transcript encoding muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 4 (M4) is excessively translated, and synthesis of M4 downstream of mGlu5 activation is mimicked and occluded. Surprisingly, enhancement rather than inhibition of M4 activity normalizes core phenotypes in the Fmr1-/y, including excessive protein synthesis, exaggerated mGluR-LTD, and audiogenic seizures. These results suggest that not all excessively translated mRNAs in the Fmr1-/y brain are detrimental, and some may be candidates for enhancement to correct pathological changes in the FX brain.

A rare-codon-based translational program of cell proliferation

Project description:The codon usage of mRNAs controls the speed of translation elongation, which is primarily determined by the abundance of cognate tRNAs. By profiling mRNA expression around the cell cycle we found that mRNAs that are relatively upregulate in the G2/M phase are enriched in rare codons. To understand the impact of this codon bias on translation, we have cultured NIH 3T3 cells with different concentrations of fetal calf serum (FCS), 1, 2, 5, and 10%, respectively, to induce distinct proliferation rates and thus distinct proportions of cells in the culture in the G2/M phase. We then estimated the levels of all proteins and mRNAs, and the change in translation efficiency (proteins per mRNA) in highly (10% FCS) relatively to less highly proliferating cells (lower FCS concentrations).
