The GYF domain protein CD2BP2 plays a crucial role in alternative splicing, embryonic development and podocyte integrity

ABSTRACT: The spliceosome is a multimolecular ribonucleoprotein complex, which catalyzes the removal of introns from pre-mRNA and extends the complexity of genetic information by defining alternative transcripts. Here we analyzed the in vivo function of CD2BP2, which is a marker of early spliceosomal complexes. Using gene targeting in mice, we show that constitutive or mesoderm- specific ablation of the CD2BP2 gene causes embryonic lethality by E10.5 associated with delayed development, growth retardation and pericard effusion. Transcriptome analysis in CD2BP2 deficient bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMM) and podocytes revealed dramatic alterations in the alternative splicing pattern of several mRNAs including VEGFA. Consistent with a previously described critical role of specific VEGFA isoforms for podocyte integrity, mice, which specifically lack CD2BP2flox/flox in this cell type, develop progressive albuminuria followed by lethal kidney failure. We further identified the phosphatase PP1 as a GYF domain independent CD2BP2 interaction partner, suggesting that CD2BP2 acts as an important modulator for spliceosome dephosphorylation, thereby affecting alternative splicing of physiologically highly relevant transcripts.

Modeling of the U1 snRNP assembly pathway in alternative splicing in human cells using Petri nets

Project description:The investigation of spliceosomal processes is currently a topic of intense research in molecular biology. In the molecular mechanism of alternative splicing, a multi-protein–RNA complex – the spliceosome – plays a crucial role. To understand the biological processes of alternative splicing, it is essential to comprehend the biogenesis of the spliceosome. In this paper, we propose the first abstract model of the regulatory assembly pathway of the human spliceosomal subunit U1. Using Petri nets, we describe its highly ordered assembly that takes place in a stepwise manner.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Reduces Podocyte Injury in Diabetic Kidney Disease

Project description:Podocyte injury in diabetic kidney disease contributes to the development of albuminuria and subsequent renal decline. Clinically, gastric bypass surgery is associated with reductions in albuminuria, and rodent studies demonstrate coherent improvements in renal histology. We aimed to investigate the mechanisms underpinning remission of albuminuria following gastric bypass focussing on podocyte injury. Firstly, we tracked the evolution of albuminuria and cognate evidence of histological and ultrastructural damage to the glomerulus in male Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats. Secondly, we examined the impact of gastric bypass in these rats, focussing on podocyte injury. Thirdly, we conducted a global transcriptomic study profiling the shift in the renal transcriptome in the Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats rat and its relevance to human disease. Lastly, we explored whether gastric bypass could reverse the changes seen in the disease associated transcriptome. Albuminuria in the Zucker Diabetic Fatty rat developed by 12 weeks of age. This was accompanied by glomerulomegaly, podocyte stress and ultrastructural evidence of podocyte dedifferentiation. When animals underwent gastric bypass at 12 weeks of age, marked reductions in albuminuria in association with normalisation of glomerular tuft size, attenuation of podocyte stress and improvements in podocyte foot process morphology were observed within 2 months of surgery. A characteristic disease associated gene expression signature was observed in the kidneys of Zucker Diabetic Fatty rats, with a core set of alterations conserved in global analysis of the human DKD transcriptome. Many of the shared gene expression alterations were reversed by gastric bypass. Reductions in podocyte injury represent a key mechanism underpinning the remission of albuminuria following gastric bypass.

A Defective Splicing Machinery Promotes Senescence through MDM4 Alternative Splicing

Project description:Defects in the splicing machinery have been implicated in various diseases, including cancer. We identified a general reduction in the expression spliceosome components and splicing regulators in human cell lines undergoing replicative, stress-induced and telomere uncapping-induced senescence. Supporting the notion that defective splicing contributes to senescence, we showed that the splicing inhibitors herboxidiene and pladienolide B induce senescence both in normal and cancer cell lines. Furthermore, the individual depletion of several spliceosome components also promoted senescence. We noted an alternative splicing shift in MDM4, from the full-length MDM4-FL variant to MDM4-S during replicative and stress-induced senescence. This shift was replicated by splicing inhibition and the depletion of individual spliceosome components. Importantly, decreasing the level of MDM4-FL promoted senescence, while cell survival was improved both by reducing the level of MDM4-FL and by overexpressing MDM4-S. Overall, our work establishes that defects in the splicing machinery alter the alternative splicing of MDM4 to promote senescence.

The Sm Core Protein SmEb Regulates Salt Stress Responses Through Maintaining Proper Splicing of RCD1 Pre-mRNA in Arabidopsis

Project description:Salt stress caused by soil salination inhibits plant growth and development that result in reduction of crop yield and threaten the food security. Several spliceosome components are considered to modify salt stress responses in plants. However, the molecular basis of spliceosome proteins adjustment to salt stress is still unclear. Here we report that an Sm core protein SmEb is required for salt tolerance in Arabidopsis. In addition, SmEb controls alternative splicing of hundreds of pre-mRNA to participate in plant response to salt stress. Our results further reveal that SmEb takes effect on maintain proper ratio of two RCD1 splicing variants to adjust to H2O2 accumulation under salt stress. Together, our findings uncover that proper alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs governed by the spliceosome component SmEb is essential for plant salt stress responses.

Local inhibition of protein phosphatase 1 by NUAK1 promotes spliceosome assembly and reveals a MYC-sensitive feedback control of transcriptional elongation

Project description:Deregulated expression of MYC induces a dependence on the NUAK1 kinase, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this dependence have not been fully clarified. Here we show that NUAK1 is a predominantly nuclear protein that associates with a network of nuclear protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) interactors and that PNUTS, a nuclear regulatory subunit of PP1, is phosphorylated by NUAK1. Both NUAK1 and PNUTS associate with the splicing machinery. Inhibition of NUAK1 abolishes chromatin association of PNUTS, reduces spliceosome activity and suppresses nascent RNA synthesis. Activation of MYC does not bypass the requirement for NUAK1 for spliceosome activity, but significantly attenuates transcription inhibition. Consequently, NUAK1 inhibition in MYC-transformed cells induces global accumulation of RNAPII both at the pause-site and at the first exon/intron boundary, but does not increase mRNA synthesis. We suggest that NUAK1 inhibition in the presence of deregulated MYC traps non-productive RNAPII due to the absence of correctly assembled spliceosomes.

Functional splicing network reveals extensive regulatory plasticity of the core Spliceosomal machinery

Project description:Pre-mRNA splicing relies on the still poorly understood dynamic interplay between more than 150 protein components of the Spliceosome, and the steps at which splicing can be regulated remain largely unknown. Here we systematically analyze the effect of knocking down the components of the splicing machinery on alternative splicing events relevant for cell proliferation and apoptosis and use this information to reconstruct a network of functional interactions. The network accurately captures well-established physical and functional associations and identifies new, revealing remarkable regulatory potential of core spliceosomal components, related to the order and duration of their recruitment during Spliceosome assembly. In contrast with standard models of regulation at early events of splice site recognition, factors involved in catalytic activation of the Spliceosome display regulatory properties. The network also sheds light on the antagonism between hnRNP C and U2AF and on targets of anti-tumor drugs, and can be widely used to identify mechanisms of splicing regulation. RNA from 3 biological replicates of 72 hours knockdowns of human IK or SMU1 and a control set were used. Changes between the control and knockdowns were measured based on using a splice-junction array (Affymetrix HJAY).

EAPP is essential for tri-snRNP biogenesis and controls cell fate and tumor growth via the alternative splicing of MDM4

Project description:Precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing is catalyzed by the spliceosome, a highly dynamic machinery with sequentially assembled small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) and splicing factors. Aberrant spliceosome composition and function result in the dysregulation of pre-mRNA alternative splicing, which may cause cellular stresses and diseases such as cancer. Here, we identify a splicing factor, E2F-associated phosphoprotein (EAPP), that directly binds to the U4/U6. U5 tri-snRNP and PRPF19 complex. Notably, the C-terminal “bucket” domain in EAPP composed of several beta-sheets is required for its interaction with the tri-snRNP. EAPP is prominently located at Cajal bodies within the nucleus where it colocalizes with the spliceosome. Loss of EAPP impedes the assembly and homeostasis of the tri-snRNP complex in Cajal bodies and increases the frequency of splicing abnormalities, mostly exon skipping. Moreover, EAPP depletion promotes MDM4 exon 6 skipping, which suppresses cell growth and tumor progression via p53 overactivation. Our study demonstrates a previously uncharacterized function of EAPP in spliceosome regulation and reveals that EAPP-mediated alternative splicing of MDM4 is a critical determinant of cell fate and tumor growth.

SKIP Is a Component of the Spliceosome Linking Alternative Splicing and the Circadian Clock in Arabidopsis

Project description:Circadian clocks generate endogenous rhythms in most organisms from cyanobacteria to humans and facilitate entrainment to environmental diurnal cycles, thus conferring a fitness advantage. Both transcriptional and posttranslational mechanisms are prominent in the basic network architecture of circadian systems. Posttranscriptional regulation, including mRNA processing, is emerging as a critical step for the clock function. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms linking RNA metabolism to the circadian clock network. Here we report that a conserved SNW/SKIP domain protein, SKIP, a splicing factor and component of the spliceosome, is involved in the posttranscriptional regulation of circadian clock genes in Arabidopsis. Mutation in SKIP lengthens the circadian period in a temperature sensitive manner, affects light input and the sensitivity of light resetting to the clock. SKIP physically interacts with the spliceosomal splicing factor SR45 and associates with the pre-mRNA of clock genes, such as PRR7 and PRR9, and is necessary for the regulation of their alternative splicing and mRNA maturation. Genome-wide investigations reveal that SKIP functions in regulating alternative splicing of many genes, presumably through modulating recognition or cleavage of 5' and 3' splicing site. Our study addresses a fundamental question on how the mRNA splicing machinery contributes to circadian clock functions at a posttranscriptional level. Our findings revealed that AtSKIP is a splicing factor and a component of spliceosome. To further investigate effects of mutation in SKIP on the genome-wide changes of alternative splicing, we performed ultra-highthroughput RNA sequencing, using 10-day old seedlings. Two biological replicates for both wild type (Col-0) and skip-2 were designed.
