Project description:Metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis is required for tumorigenesis by providing cancer cells with energy and substrates of biosynthesis, and also plays a key role in inducing immune suppressive tumor microenvironment that inhibits tumor immunotherapy. Therefore, to develop more effective cancer therapy, it is important to elucidate mechanisms that control cancer metabolic switch. MTR4 is a RNA helicase associated with nuclear exosome that plays key roles in RNA processing and surveillance. We demonstrated that MTR4 is frequently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and this predicts poor prognosis of HCC patients. MTR4 is required for HCC tumorigenesis by maintaining cancer metabolic switch. Mechanistically, MTR4 is required for the expression of critical glycolytic proteins such as GLUT1 and PKM2 by binding to their pre-mRNA and ensuring correct alternative splicing. c-Myc binds to the promoter of MTR4 gene and is required for MTR4 expression, indicating that MTR4 is a key mediator of c-Myc function in promoting cancer metabolism. These findings reveal an important pathway to drive cancer metabolic switch and present MTR4 as a promising therapeutic target for treating HCC.

Project description:Mtr4 is a eukaryotic RNA helicase required for RNA decay by the nuclear exosome. Previous studies have shown how RNA enroute to the exosome threads through the highly conserved helicase core of Mtr4. Mtr4 also contains an arch domain, although details of potential interactions between the arch and RNA have been elusive. To understand the interaction of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mtr4 with various RNAs, we have characterized RNA binding in solution using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, and affinity and unwinding assays. We have identified RNA interactions within the helicase core that are consistent with existing structures and do not vary between tRNA, single-stranded RNA, and double-stranded RNA constructs. We have also identified novel RNA interactions with a region of the arch known as the fist or KOW. These interactions are important for RNA unwinding and vary in strength depending on RNA structure and length. They account for Mtr4 discrimination between different RNAs. These interactions further drive Mtr4 to adopt a closed conformation characterized by reduced dynamics of the arch arm and intra-domain contacts between the fist and helicase core.

Project description:The exosome functions in the degradation of diverse RNA species, yet how it is negatively regulated remains largely unknown. Here, we show that NRDE2 forms a 1:1 complex with MTR4, a nuclear exosome cofactor critical for exosome recruitment, via a conserved MTR4-interacting domain (MID). Unexpectedly, NRDE2 mainly localizes in nuclear speckles, where it inhibits MTR4 recruitment and RNA degradation, and thereby ensures efficient mRNA nuclear export. Structural and biochemical data revealed that NRDE2 interacts with MTR4's key residues, locks MTR4 in a closed conformation, and inhibits MTR4 interaction with the exosome as well as proteins important for MTR4 recruitment, such as the cap-binding complex (CBC) and ZFC3H1. Functionally, MID deletion results in the loss of self-renewal of mouse embryonic stem cells. Together, our data pinpoint NRDE2 as a nuclear exosome negative regulator that ensures mRNA stability and nuclear export.

Project description:Aberrant alternative splicing (AS) is implicated in cancer metabolic reprogramming that supplies cancer cells with energy and substrates for biosynthesis. Therefore, the elucidation of the mechanism underlying aberrant AS in cancer cells is important for developing specific and effective therapy. We demonstrated that MTR4, a RNA helicase important for RNA quality surveillance, is frequently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and is correlated with increased glycolysis and poor prognosis of HCC patients. MTR4 is required for tumorigenesis of HCC cells by promoting glycolysis and expression of glycolytic genes. MTR4 binds to specific motifs of pre-mRNAs, including those of the key glycolytic genes, and regulates their AS by recruiting PTBP1. We discovered that MTR4 is a direct transcriptional target of c-Myc, suggesting that MTR4 mediates the metabolic function of c-Myc in HCC. These findings reveal mechanisms driving cancer-specific AS profile and present MTR4 as a specific therapeutic target for treating HCC.

Project description:Recent in vitro reconstitution analyses have proven that the physical interaction between the exosome core and MTR4 helicase, which promotes the exosome activity, is maintained by either MPP6 or RRP6. However, knowledge regarding the function of MPP6 with respect to in vivo exosome activity remains scarce. Here we demonstrate a facilitative function of MPP6 that composes a specific part of MTR4-dependent substrate decay by the human exosome. Using RNA polymerase II-transcribed poly(A)+ substrate accumulation as an indicator of a perturbed exosome, we found functional redundancy between RRP6 and MPP6 in the decay of these poly(A)+ transcripts. MTR4 binding to the exosome core via MPP6 was essential for MPP6 to exert its redundancy with RRP6. However, at least for the decay of our identified exosome substrates, MTR4 recruitment by MPP6 was not functionally equivalent to recruitment by RRP6. Genome-wide classification of substrates based on their sensitivity to each exosome component revealed that MPP6 deals with a specific range of substrates, and highlights the importance of MTR4 for their decay. Considering recent findings of competitive binding to the exosome between auxiliary complexes, our results suggest that the MPP6-incorporated MTR4-exosome complex is one of multiple alternative complexes rather than the prevailing one.

Project description:The nuclear exosome-targeting (NEXT) complex functions as an RNA exosome cofactor and is involved in surveillance and turnover of aberrant transcripts and noncoding RNAs. NEXT is a ternary complex composed of the RNA-binding protein RBM7, the scaffold zinc-knuckle protein ZCCHC8, and the helicase MTR4. While RNA interactions with RBM7 are known, it remains unclear how NEXT subunits collaborate to recognize and prepare substrates for degradation. Here, we show that MTR4 helicase activity is enhanced when associated with RBM7 and ZCCHC8. While uridine-rich substrates interact with RBM7 and are preferred, optimal activity is observed when substrates include a polyadenylated 3' end. We identify a bipartite interaction of ZCCHC8 with MTR4 and uncover a role for the conserved C-terminal domain of ZCCHC8 in stimulating MTR4 helicase and ATPase activities. A crystal structure reveals that the ZCCHC8 C-terminal domain binds the helicase core in a manner that is distinct from that observed for Saccharomyces cerevisiae exosome cofactors Trf4p and Air2p. Our results are consistent with a model whereby effective targeting of substrates by NEXT entails recognition of elements within the substrate and activation of MTR4 helicase activity.
