The competition between splicing and 3′ processing shapes the human transcriptome

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic pre-mRNA processing steps, including splicing and 3′ processing, are tightly coordinated, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Previous studies proposed that the splicing factor U1 snRNP inhibits 3′ processing at intronic polyadenylation (IPA) sites through a splicing-independent mechanism, called telescripting. However, we found that global or gene-specific perturbation of splicing by targeting multiple splicing factors, including U1 snRNP, U2 snRNP, U2AF, and SF3b led to activation of 3′ processing at IPA sites. Inhibiting different splicing factors activated overlapping and distinct IPA sites and such specificity was determined, at least in part, by alterations in RNA polymerase II elongation and termination. Conversely, we showed that blocking pre-mRNA 3′ processing promoted splicing globally. These results strongly suggest that splicing and 3′ processing are competing processes that shape the transcriptome. Finally, as splicing inhibition-induced shifts to IPA site usage can lead to gene inactivation, including tumor suppressor genes, the use of general splicing inhibitors to treat human diseases may pose a significant risk.

U1 snRNP complex with cleavage and polyadenylation factors controls mRNA transcription termination

Project description:Full-length transcription in the majority of human genes depends on U1 snRNP (U1) to co-transcriptionally suppress transcription-terminating premature 3’-end cleavage and polyadenylation (PCPA) from cryptic polyadenylation signals (PASs) in introns. However, the mechanism of this U1 activity, termed telescripting, is unknown. Here, we captured a complex, comprising U1 and CPA factors (U1–CPAFs), that binds intronic PASs and suppresses PCPA. U1–CPAFs are distinct from U1-spliceosomal complexes; they include CPA’s three main subunits, CFIm, CPSF, and CstF, lack essential splicing factors, and associate with transcription elongation and mRNA export complexes. Telescripting requires U1:pre-mRNA base-pairing, which can be disrupted by U1 antisense oligonucleotide (U1 AMO), triggering PCPA. U1 AMO remodels U1–CPAFs, revealing changes, including recruitment of CPA-stimulating factors, that explain U1–CPAFs’ switch from repressive to activated states. Our findings outline U1 telescripting mechanism and demonstrate U1’s unique role as central-regulator of pre-mRNA processing and transcription.

Intron looping is mediated during transcription by U1 snRNP and RNA polymerase II [RNA-Seq]

Project description:In the earliest step of spliceosome assembly, the two splice sites flanking an intron are brought into proximity by U1 snRNP and U2AF. The mechanism that facilitates this intron looping is poorly understood. Using a CRISPR interference-based approach to halt RNA polymerase II transcription in the middle of introns, we discovered that the 5 splice site base pairs with a U1 snRNA that is tethered to RNA polymerase II during intron synthesis. Correlation with splicing outcomes demonstrate that these associations are functional. The interactions between 5 splice sites, U1 snRNP, and elongating RNA polymerase II occurs genome-wide. Our findings reveal that during intron synthesis the upstream 5 splice site remains attached to the transcriptional machinery and is thus brought into proximity of the 3 splice site to enable rapid splicing.

ALS-causative mutations in FUS/TLS confer gain- and loss-of-function by altered association with SMN and U1-snRNP

Project description:The RNA-binding protein FUS/TLS, mutation in which is causative of the fatal motor neuron disease ALS, is demonstrated to directly bind to the U1-snRNP and SMN complexes. ALS-causative mutations in FUS/TLS are shown to abnormally enhance their interaction with SMN and reduce interaction with U1-snRNP. Correspondingly, global RNA analysis reveals a mutant-dependent loss of splicing activity, with ALS-linked mutants failing to reverse changes caused by loss of wild-type FUS/TLS. Furthermore, a common FUS/TLS mutant-associated RNA splicing signature is identified in ALS patient fibroblasts. Taken together, our studies establish potentially converging disease mechanisms in ALS and spinal muscular atrophy, with ALS-causative mutants acquiring properties representing both gain (dysregulation of SMN) and loss (reduced RNA processing mediated by U1-snRNP) of function. RNA-mediated oligonucleotide Annealing, Selection, and Ligation with Next-Generation sequencing (RASL-seq) method was used for analyzing alternative splicing changes. Oligonucleotide probes are designed to anneal to the exon-exon junctions. The probe library was assembled to assess 5530 unique alternative splicing events, most of which were exon inclusion or skipping, with a minority for alternative 5’- or 3’- splice sites. The splicing changes were compared among groups of reducing FUS/TLS or SMN levels, or expressing various FUS mutations to determine the loss versus gain of FUS/TLS function on splicing regulation.

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.

Platform comparison of U1 Adaptors - a new gene silencing technology vs. siRNA

Project description:The goal of the microarray experiment was to do a head-to-head comparison of the U1 Adaptor technology with siRNA in terms of specificity at the genome-wide level. U1 Adaptors represent a novel gene silencing method that employs a mechanism of action distinct from antisense and RNA interference (RNAi). The U1 Adaptor is a bifunctional oligonucleotide having a âTarget Domainâ that is complementary to a site in the target gene's terminal exon and a âU1 Domainâ that binds to the U1 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) component of the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (U1 snRNP) splicing factor. Tethering of U1 snRNP to the target pre-mRNA inhibits 3' end processing (i.e., polyA tail addition) leading to degradation of that RNA species within the nucleus thereby reducing mRNA levels. We demonstrate that U1 Adaptors can specifically inhibit both reporter and endogenous genes. Further, targeting the same gene either with multiple U1 Adaptors or with U1 Adaptors and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), strongly enhances gene silencing, the latter as predicted from their distinct mechanisms of action. Such combinatorial targeting requires lower amounts of oligonucleotides to achieve potent silencing. Experiment Overall Design: For each sample total RNA was prepared from 3 independent transfections and then were pooled and analyzed by QPCR and also by microarray.

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.

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.
