The RNA exosome maintains cellular RNA homeostasis by controlling transcript abundance in the brain

ABSTRACT: Intracellular ribonucleases (RNases) are essential in all aspects of RNA metabolism, including maintaining accurate RNA levels. Inherited mutations in genes encoding ubiquitous RNases are associated with human diseases, primarily affecting the nervous system. Recessive mutations in genes encoding an evolutionarily conserved RNase complex, the RNA exosome, lead to syndromic neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by progressive neurodegeneration, such as Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 1b (PCH1b). We establish a CRISPR/Cas9-engineered Drosophila model of PCH1b to study cell-type-specific post-transcriptional regulatory functions of the nuclear RNA exosome complex within fly head tissue. Here, we report that pathogenic RNA exosome mutations alter activity of the complex, causing widespread dysregulation of brain-enriched cellular transcriptomes, including rRNA processing defects—resulting in tissue-specific, progressive neurodegenerative effects in flies. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of RNA exosome function within a developed animal brain and underscore the critical role of post-transcriptional regulatory machinery in maintaining cellular RNA homeostasis within the brain.

Recessive mutation in EXOSC3 associates with mitochondrial dysfunction and pontocerebellar hypoplasia

Project description:Recessive mutations in EXOSC3, encoding a subunit of the human RNA exosome complex, cause Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1b (PCH1B). We report a boy with severe muscular hypotonia, psychomotor retardation, progressive microcephaly, and cerebellar atrophy. Biochemical abnormalities comprised mitochondrial Complex I and PDHc deficiency. Whole exome sequencing uncovered a known EXOSC3-mutation p.(D132A) as the underlying cause. In patient fibroblasts, >50% of the EXOSC3 protein was trapped in the cytosol. mtDNA-copy numbers in muscle were reduced to 40%, but mutations in the mtDNA and nuclear mitochondrial genes were excluded. RNA-seq of patient muscle showed highly increased mRNA-copy numbers, especially for genes encoding structural subunits of OXPHOS-complexes I, III, and IV, possibly due to reduced degradation by a dysfunctional exosome complex. This is the first case of mitochondrial dysfunction associated with an EXOSC3 mutation, which expands the phenotypic spectrum of PCH1B. We discuss the links between exosome and mitochondrial dysfunction.

RNA exosome mutations in pontocerebellar hypoplasia alter ribosome biogenesis and p53 levels

Project description:The eukaryotic RNA exosome is a ubiquitously expressed complex of nine core proteins (EXOSC1-9) and associated nucleases responsible for RNA processing and degradation. Autosomal recessive mutations in EXOSC3, EXOSC8, EXOSC9 and the exosome cofactor RBM7 cause pontocerebellar hypoplasia and motor neuronopathy. To understand the importance of the exosome in neurodegeneration, we investigated the consequences of exosome mutations on RNA metabolism and cellular survival in zebrafish and human cell models. We observed that levels of mRNAs encoding p53 and ribosome biogenesis factors are upregulated in zebrafish lines with homozygous mutations of exosc8 or exosc9, respectively. In addition, exosome deficiency leads to increased levels of multiple non-coding RNAs (e.g. tRNAs, snoRNAs, scaRNAs). Consistent with higher p53 levels, mutant zebrafish have a reduced head size, smaller brain and cerebellum caused by an increased number of apoptotic cells during development. Downregulation of EXOSC9 in human cells leads to p53 protein stabilisation and G2/M cell cycle arrest. The work provides explanation for the pathogenesis of exosome-related disorders and highlights the link between exosome function, ribosome biogenesis and p53-dependent signalling.

A Budding Yeast Model for Human Disease Mutations in the EXOSC2 Cap Subunit of the RNA Exosome

Project description:RNA exosomopathies, a growing family of tissue-specific diseases, are linked to missense mutations in genes encoding the structural subunits of the conserved 10-subunit exoribonuclease complex, the RNA exosome. Such mutations in the cap subunit gene EXOSC2 cause the novel syndrome SHRF (Short stature, Hearing loss, Retinitis pigmentosa and distinctive Facies). In contrast, exosomopathy mutations in the cap subunit gene EXOSC3 cause pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1b (PCH1b). Though having strikingly different disease pathologies, EXOSC2 and EXOSC3 exosomopathy mutations result in amino acid substitutions in similar, conserved domains of the cap subunits, suggesting that these exosomopathy mutations have distinct consequences for RNA exosome function. We generated the first in vivo model of the SHRF pathogenic amino acid substitutions using budding yeast by introducing the EXOSC2 mutations in the orthologous S. cerevisiae gene RRP4. The resulting rrp4 mutant cells have defects in cell growth and RNA exosome function. We detect significant transcriptomic changes in both coding and non-coding RNAs in the rrp4 variant, rrp4-G226D, which models EXOSC2 p.Gly198Asp. Comparing this rrp4-G226D mutant to the previously studied S. cerevisiae model of EXOSC3 PCH1b mutation, rrp40-W195R, reveals that these mutants have disparate effects on certain RNA targets, providing the first evidence for different mechanistic consequences of these exosomopathy mutations. Congruently, we detect specific negative genetic interactions between RNA exosome cofactor mutants and rrp4-G226D but not rrp40-W195R. These data provide insight into how SHRF mutations could alter the function of the RNA exosome and allow the first direct comparison of exosomopathy mutations that cause distinct pathologies.

System-wide analyses of the fission yeast poly(A)+ RNA interactome reveal insights into organisation and function of RNA-protein complexes

Project description:Production, function, and turnover of mRNA are orchestrated by multi-subunit machineries that play a central role in gene expression. Within these molecular machines, interactions with the target mRNA are mediated by RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), and the accuracy and dynamics of these RNA-protein interactions are essential for their function. Here, we show that fission yeast whole cell poly(A)+ RNA-protein crosslinking data provides system-wide information on the organisation and function of the RNA-protein complexes. We evaluate relative enrichment of cellular RBPs on poly(A)+ RNA to identify interactors with high RNA9 binding activity and provide key information about the RNA-binding properties of large multi10 protein complexes, such as the mRNA 3’ end processing machinery (cleavage and polyadenylation factor, CPF) and the RNA exosome. We demonstrate that different functional modules within CPF differ in their ability to interact with RNA. Importantly, we reveal that CPF forms additional contacts with RNA via the Fip1 subunit of the polyadenylation module and two subunits of the nuclease module. In addition, our data highlights the central role of the RNA helicase Mtl1 in RNA degradation by the exosome as mutations in Mtl1 lead to 16 disengagement of the exosome from RNA. We examine how routes of substrate access to the complex are affected upon mutation of exosome subunits. Our results provide important insights into how different components of the exosome contribute to engagement of the complex with substrate RNA. Overall, our data uncover how multi-subunit cellular machineries interact with RNA, on a proteome-wide scale.

AMPD2 Regulates GTP Synthesis and is Mutated in a Potentially-Treatable Neurodegenerative Brainstem Disorder

Project description:Purine biosynthesis and metabolism, conserved in all living organisms, is essential for cellular energy homeostasis and nucleic acids synthesis. The de novo synthesis of purine precursors is under tight negative feedback regulation mediated by adenine and guanine nucleotides. We describe a new early-onset distinct neurodegenerative condition resulting from mutations in the adenosine monophosphate deaminase 2 gene (AMPD2). Patients have characteristic brain imaging features of pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH), due to loss of brainstem and cerebellar parenchyma. We found that AMPD2 plays an evolutionary conserved role in the maintenance of cellular guanine nucleotide pools by regulating the feedback inhibition of adenosine derivatives on de novo purine synthesis. AMPD2 deficiency results in defective GTP-dependent initiation of protein translation, which can be rescued by administration of purine precursors. These data suggest AMPD2-related PCH as a new potentially treatable early-onset neurodegenerative disease. An 18 chip study, that compares iPSC derived neural progenitor cells from two individuals: a patient with pontocerebellar hypoplasia and an unaffected parent. Samples are run as either non-treated, treated with Adenosine, or treated with Adenosine and AICAr. Three replicates are included for every individuals in every treatment condition.

The nuclear RNA exosome is co-opted to enhance host:viral RNA hybrids that propel influenza virus ribogenesis and infectivity

Project description:The nuclear RNA exosome is an essential multi-subunit complex that controls RNA homeostasis. Congenital mutations in exosome genes are associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we show that transient depletion of nuclear RNA exosome subunits in epithelial cells inhibits influenza virus replication. Similarly, viral biogenesis was suppressed in cells derived from mice with conditional ablation of the RNA exosome subunit Exosc3. Furthermore, patient-derived cells with a congenital EXOSC3 mutation were less susceptible to influenza virus infection. Using proteomics and next generation sequencing during infection, we show that the viral polymerase complex (PA, PB2, PB1) co-opts the nuclear RNA exosome complex and cellular RNAs en route to 3’ end degradation. Mechanistically, the nuclear RNA exosome coordinates the initial steps of viral transcription with RNAPII at host promoters. Exosome deficiency uncouples chromatin targeting of the viral polymerase complex and the formation of cellular:viral RNA hybrids, which are essential RNA intermediates that license transcription of antisense genomic viral RNAs. Overall, we discovered a critical nexus between an essential component of the influenza virus (polymerase) and an essential component of the cell (exosome), alteration of which leads to breakage of host-pathogen symmetry and a lose-lose scenario (viral impairment and neurodegeneration).

The RNA exosome shapes the expression of key protein-coding genes

Project description:The ribonucleolytic exosome complex is central for nuclear RNA degradation, primarily targeting non-coding RNAs, while the majority of mRNAs are protected through their 3’ polyadenylation and nuclear export. Still, the nuclear exosome could have protein-coding (pc) gene-specific regulatory activities. By depleting an exosome core component, or key components of nucleoplasmic exosome adaptor complexes, we identify a number of transcription start sites (TSSs) from within pc genes that produce exosome-sensitive transcripts and two classes of pc-genes, which both employ a single, annotated TSS across cells and tissues, but the former class primarily produces full-length, exosome-sensitive transcripts, whereas the latter primarily produces prematurely terminated transcripts. Genes within the former class often belong to immediate early response transcription factors, while genes within the latter are likely transcribed as a consequence of their proximity to strong upstream TSSs on the opposite strand. We also show that when genes have multiple active TSSs, alternative TSSs that produce exosome sensitive transcripts typically do not contribute substantially to overall gene expression, and most such exosome sensitive transcripts are prematurely terminated. Our results display a complex landscape of sense transcription within pc-gene regions and imply a direct role for nuclear RNA turnover in the expression regulation of a subset of pc- genes.

The RNA helicase DDX1 associates with the nuclear RNA exosome and modulates R-loops [RNA-seq]

Project description:The RNA exosome is a ten-subunit complex that mediates both RNA processing and degradation. This complex is evolutionarily conserved, ubiquitously expressed, and required for fundamental cellular functions, including rRNA processing. The RNA exosome plays many roles in regulating gene expression and protecting the genome, including modulating the accumulation of R-loops at sites of transcription. The RNA exosome interacts with specific target RNAs for decay or processing by interacting proteins termed cofactors. Attributing to the essential function of the RNA exosome for processes critical in all cells, such as production of mature rRNA, missense mutations in structural subunit genes of this complex cause neurological diseases. One possibility for why point mutations cause neurological diseases is that the RNA exosome partners with cell- or tissue-specific protein cofactors. Here, we employed a murine neuronal cell line (N2A) and performed immunoprecipitation of the RNA exosome subunit, EXOSC3, followed by mass spectrometry to obtain a snapshot of the RNA exosome interactome. We validated an interaction with DDX1, a putative RNA helicase. DDX1 plays roles in double-strand break repair, rRNA processing, and RNA metabolism. To explore shared functions of EXOSC3 and DDX1, we investigated the interaction after inducing DNA damage, and performed DNA/RNA immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (DRIP-Seq) and RNA-seq on N2A cells depleted of either EXOSC3 or DDX1. These findings suggest that EXOSC3 and DDX1 function together in the absence of severe DNA damage to modulate spontaneous events such as RNA-DNA hybrid (R-loop) formation.
