Deep sequencing shows multiple oligouridylations are required for 3' to 5' degradation of histone mRNAs on polyribosomes

ABSTRACT: We developed a customized RNA-Seq strategy to identify the 3' termini of degradation intermediates of histone mRNAs. Using this strategy, we identified two types of oligouridylated degradation intermediates: RNAs ending at different sites of the 3' side of the stemloop that resulted from initial degradation by 3'hExo and intermediates near the stop codon and within the coding region. We established a method for identifying degradation intermediates for replication-depdendent histone mRNAs. Histone mRNAs are present in large amounts in S-phase cells. Inhibition of DNA replication results in a rapid degradation of histone mRNA. We developed an approach to selectively amplify the 3' ends of histone mRNA molecules, including degradation intermediates, which we then sequenced. Using a novel bioinformatics platform we identified degradation intermediates including many that had untemplated nts added to the 3' end. We identified a large variety of degradation intermediates that contained oligo(U) tails. We were able to deduce the 3' to 5' pathway of histone mRNA degradation.
