The structure of human Argonaute-2 in complex with miR-20a

ABSTRACT: Argonaute proteins lie at the heart of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC), wherein they use small RNA guides to recognize targets. Some Argonaute proteins can directly cleave their targets, whereas others recruit co-factors to repress independently of “slicing.” Prior studies established the architecture of Argonaute proteins; however, we have not yet had a detailed picture of an Argonaute whose biochemical and biological functions were well established. Here we describe the crystal structure of human Argonaute-2 bound to miR-20a at 2.2 Å resolution. Overall architecture and domain organization is shared with its prokaryotic counterparts, though Ago2 is somewhat more open, with its PAZ domain further removed from the other domains. The miRNA is anchored at both ends by the Mid and PAZ domains but makes several kinks and turns along the binding groove. The RNA confers remarkable stability on the Argonaute protein, locking this otherwise flexible enzyme into a stable conformation.

These were processed and sequenced on Illumina GA-II platform.

Slicing-Independent RISC Activation Requires the Argonaute PAZ Domain

Project description:Small RNAs regulate the genetic networks through a ribonucleoprotein complex called the RNA induced silencing complexes (RISC), which in mammals contains at its center one of four Argonaute proteins (Ago1-4). A key regulatory event in the RNAi and miRNA pathways is Ago loading, where double stranded small RNA duplexes are incorporated into RISC (pre-RISC) and then become single stranded (mature-RISC), a process that is not well understood. The Agos contain an evolutionary conserved PAZ (Piwi/Argonaute/Zwille) domain whose primary function is to bind the 3’-end of small RNAs. We created multiple Paz domain disrupted Ago mutant proteins and studied their biochemical properties and biological functionality in cells. We found that the Paz domain is dispensable for Ago loading of slicing-competent RISC. In contrast, in the absence of slicer activity or slicer substrate duplex RNAs, Paz-disrupted Agos bound duplex siRNAs but were unable to unwind/eject the passenger strand and form functional RISC complexes. We have discovered that the highly conserved Paz domain plays an important role in RISC activation, providing new mechanistic insights into how miRNAs regulate genes, as well as new insights for future design of miRNA and RNAi-based therapeutics. Various Argonautes associated small RNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing the Agos-IP samples in HEK293 Cells transfected with corresponding Argonaute.

A global transcriptome analysis of human epidermal keratinocytes upon overexpression of microRNA-19a or microRNA-19b or microRNA-20a

Project description:Several members from microRNA 17-92 cluster, i.e. miR-19a, miR-19b and miR-20a, were found up-regulated in human epidermal keratinocytes at wound-edges compared to the intact skin; however their biological role in keratinocytes during wound repair has not been studied. To study the genes regulated by miR-19a, miR-19b and miR-20a, we transfected miRNA specific mimics, i.e. pre-miR-19a, pre-miR-19b or pre-miR-20a into human primary epidermal keratinocytes to overexpress them. We performed a global transcriptome analysis of keratinocytes upon overexpression of miR-19a or miR-19b or miR-20a using Affymetrix arrays.

Modulation of the ATM/autophagy pathway tips the balance between senescence and apoptosis in response to 20A ligand

Project description:G-quadruplex ligands (G4L) exert their anti-proliferative effect through telomere-dependent and -independent mechanisms, but the inter-relationship between autophagy, cell growth arrest and cell death induced by these ligands remains largely unexplored. 20A is a 2,4,6-triarylpyridine derivative that binds to G4-DNA with fair to excellent selectivity. Here, we demonstrate that this compound impairs cancer cell viability through induction of senescence and apoptotic cell death in a p53-independent manner. In vivo results corroborate those obtained in in vitro, showing that 20A elicits an important tumor growth inhibition in HeLa-xenografted tumor model. The transcriptomic and proteomic analyses reveal the functional enrichment in the growth arrest, DDR and lysosomal pathways upon 20A treatment. More particularly, we find that ATM and autophagy are activated upon 20A treatment. Genetic inhibition of ATM following 20A treatment inhibits both autophagy and senescence and directs cells to apoptosis. Moreover, loss of autophagy by deletion of two essential autophagy genes ATG5 and ATG7 leads to failure of CHK1 activation and increased cell death triggered by 20A. Our results therefore identify ATM as a critical determinant in the balance between senescence and apoptosis and uncover autophagy as one of the key mediators of such regulation. Thus, targeting the ATM/autophagy pathway might be a promising strategy to achieve the maximal therapeutic effect of the 20A G4-ligand.
