The Exoribonuclease Nibbler Controls 3' End Processing of MicroRNAs in Drosophila

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous noncoding small RNAs with important roles in many biological pathways; their generation and activity are under precise regulation. Emerging evidence suggests that miRNA pathways are precisely modulated with controls at the level of transcription, processing, and stability, with miRNA deregulation linked with diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. In the Drosophila miRNA biogenesis pathway, long primary miRNA transcripts undergo sequential cleavage to release the embedded miRNAs. Mature miRNAs are then loaded into Argonaute1 (Ago1) within the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Intriguingly, we found that Drosophila miR-34 displays multiple isoforms that differ at the 3′ end, suggesting a novel biogenesis mechanism involving 3′ end processing. To define the cellular factors responsible, we performed an RNA interference (RNAi) screen and identified a putative 3′→5′ exoribonuclease CG9247/nibbler essential for the generation of the smaller isoforms of miR-34. Nibbler (Nbr) interacts with Ago1 and processes miR-34 within RISC. Deep sequencing analysis revealed a larger set of multi-isoform miRNAs that are controlled by nibbler. These findings suggest that Nbr-mediated 3′ end processing represents a critical step in miRNA maturation that impacts miRNA diversity.

Mature miRNAs are then loaded into Argonaute1 (Ago1) within the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Intriguingly, we found that Drosophila miR-34 displays multiple isoforms that differ at the 3M-bM-^@M-2 end, suggesting a novel biogenesis mechanism involving 3M-bM-^@M-2 end processing. To define the cellular factors responsible, we performed an RNA interference (RNAi) screen and identified a putative 3M-bM-^@M-2M-bM-^FM-^R5M-bM-^@M-2 exoribonuclease CG9247/nibbler essential for the generation of the smaller isoforms of miR-34. Nibbler (Nbr) interacts with Ago1 and processes miR-34 within RISC. Deep sequencing analysis revealed a larger set of multi-isoform miRNAs that are controlled by nibbler. These findings suggest that Nbr-mediated 3M-bM-^@M-2 end processing represents a critical step in miRNA maturation that impacts miRNA diversity. Total RNA was isolated using mirVana (Ambion) and size-fractionated by PAGE into 18-30nt. These were independently processed and sequenced using the Illumina GAII platform. In total, four libraries were analyzed.

Genes affected upon dsRNA knockdown treatment for nbr/CG9247 in Drosophila DL1 cells

Project description:nbr/CG9247 gene function regulates the length of the 3'end of miRNAs. Such 3'end heterogeneity of miRNAs may impact miRNA target gene silencing. To address this, we performed microarray analysis for genes altered upon nbr knockdown in Drosophila DL1 cells. This approach revealed a subset of genes upregulated upon nbr knockdown. Five independent replicates of DL1 cells treated with control (dsRNA to renilla) or nbr (dsRNA RNA to nbr/CG9247) were collected 5 days after dsRNA bathing. Total RNA from from each replicate was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen). A portion of total RNA for each replicate was used to confirm the effect of nbr knockdown on one of the nbr-dependent miRNAs, miR-34, by small RNA northern.

MCMV infection of cultured mouse cells induces expression of miR-7a.

Project description:One goal of viral infection is to reprogram the host cell to optimize viral replication. As part of this process, viral miRNAs may compete for components of the miRNA/siRNA pathway as well as regulate cellular targets. Mouse Cytomegalovirus has been described to generate large numbers of viral miRNAs during lytic infection and was therefore used to analyze the impact of viral miRNAs on the host cell small RNA system as well as to check for sorting of viral small RNAs into specific Ago-proteins. Deep sequencing analysis of MCMV infected cells revealed that viral miRNAs represent only app. 13% of all detected miRNAs. All previously described MCMV miRNAs with the exception of miR-m88-1* were confirmed and for the MCMV miR-m01-1 hairpin an additional miRNA, designated miR-m01-1-3p, was found. Its presence was confirmed by qPCR and Northern Blot. Deep sequencing after RISC IP with antibodies specific for either Ago1 or Ago2 showed that all MCMV miRNAs are loaded into both RISC complexes. The ratio of MCMV to mouse miRNAs was not increased after immunoprecipitation of Ago-proteins. Viral miRNAs therefore do not overwhelm the host miRNA processing system nor are they preferentially incorporated into RISC. We found that 3 mouse miRNAs showed an altered expression due to MCMV infection. Down-regulation of miR-27a, as previously described, could be confirmed. In addition, miR-26a was down-regulated and an up-regulation of miR-7a dependent on viral protein expression could be observed.

PARN mediates 3'-end trimming of Argonaute-cleaved precursor microRNAs

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are typically generated as ~22-nucleotide double-stranded RNAs via processing of precursor hairpins by the RNase III enzyme Dicer, after which they are loaded into Argonaute (Ago) proteins to form RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). However, the biogenesis of miR-451, an erythropoietic miRNA conserved in vertebrates, does not require Dicer processing. Instead, the short pre-miR-451 precursor hairpin is directly loaded into Ago, followed by cleavage of the 3' arm and trimming of the 3' end to the mature length by PARN. Here we show the in vivo activity of miR-430 Ago2-hairpin, a canonical microRNA engineered to fit the structure of miR-451 and hence become Ago2-dependent. Moreover, we test a modified miR-430 Ago2-haipin with 3x phoshorothioate bonds that impairs trimmng. Surprisingly, our data show that trimming of Ago-cleaved pre-miRNAs is not essential for target silencing, indicating that RISC is functional with miRNAs longer than 22-nucleotides.

Ago1 vs Ago2-IP small RNA deep-sequencing with age in Drosophila

Project description:Drosophila miRNAs show distinct change in isoform distribution pattern with age. Some miRNAs show accumulation of the short isoforms, while other miRNAs show the accumulation of the long isoforms with age. The increase of the long isoforms of some miRNAs reflects increased 2'-O-methylated miRNA isoforms with age. The increase in 2'-O-methylated miRNA isoforms reflected increased Ago2-loading, but not Ago1-loading of specific miRNA isoforms with age. This raised a question on whether there is global shift in small RNA loading pattern between Ago1 and Ago2 with age. To investigate change in small RNA loading pattern between Ago1 and Ago2 with age, we performed small RNA deep-sequencing of Ago1 vs Ago2-IP small RNAs at 3d and 30d in Drosophila. This analysis revealed global increase of miRNA loading into Ago2, but not into Ago1 with age.

hsa-miR-92a knock down in Flp-in T-REx 293-PTH-AGO1 cells

Project description:transcriptome profiling of miR-92a inhibitor treated and control cells with the aim of measuring miR-92a influence on its mRNA targets Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in gene regulation, but reliable bioinformatic or experimental identification of their targets remains difficult. To provide an unbiased view of human miRNA targets we developed a technique for ligation and sequencing of miRNA-target RNA duplexes associated with human Ago1. Here we report datasets of more than 18,000 high-confidence miRNA-mRNA interactions. The binding of most miRNAs includes the 5' seed region, but around 60% of seed interactions are noncanonical, containing bulged or mismatched nucleotides. Moreover, seed interactions are generally accompanied by specific, non-seed basepairing. 18% of miRNA-mRNA interactions involve the miRNA 3' end, with little evidence for 5' contacts, and some of these were functionally validated. Analyses of miRNA:mRNA basepairing showed that miRNA species systematically differ in their target RNA interactions, and strongly overrepresented motifs were found in the interaction sites of several miRNAs. We speculate that these affect the response of RISC to miRNA-target binding.
