Project description:Here we show using RNA-seq that cleavage by RNase E direct entry pervades in both the degradation and processing of RNA. We also give further evidence that direct entry is facilitated by cooperative interaction with segments in addition to the ones in which cleavage occurs. RNA seq profiles were compared between a temperature-sensitive mutant of rne and its congenic wild-type incubated at a non-permissive temperature. RNA seq profiles were also compared between samples before and after incubation with a 5'-sensing mutant of RNase E in vitro.

Project description:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the maturation of both pre-rRNA and pre-small nucleolar RNAs (pre-snoRNAs) involves common factors, thereby providing a potential mechanism for the coregulation of snoRNA and rRNA synthesis. In this study, we examined the global impact of the double-stranded-RNA-specific RNase Rnt1p, which is required for pre-rRNA processing, on the maturation of all known snoRNAs. In silico searches for Rnt1p cleavage signals, and genome-wide analysis of the Rnt1p-dependent expression profile, identified seven new Rnt1p substrates. Interestingly, two of the newly identified Rnt1p-dependent snoRNAs, snR39 and snR59, are located in the introns of the ribosomal protein genes RPL7A and RPL7B. In vitro and in vivo experiments indicated that snR39 is normally processed from the lariat of RPL7A, suggesting that the expressions of RPL7A and snR39 are linked. In contrast, snR59 is produced by a direct cleavage of the RPL7B pre-mRNA, indicating that a single pre-mRNA transcript cannot be spliced to produce a mature RPL7B mRNA and processed by Rnt1p to produce a mature snR59 simultaneously. The results presented here reveal a new role of yeast RNase III in the processing of intron-encoded snoRNAs that permits independent regulation of the host mRNA and its associated snoRNA.

Project description:Escherichia coli endoribonuclease E has a major influence on gene expression. It is essential for the maturation of ribosomal and transfer RNA as well as the rapid degradation of messenger RNA. The latter ensures that translation closely follows programming at the level of transcription. Recently, one of the hallmarks of RNase E, i.e. its ability to bind via a 5'-monophosphorylated end, was shown to be unnecessary for the initial cleavage of some polycistronic tRNA precursors. Here we show using RNA-seq analyses of ribonuclease-deficient strains in vivo and a 5'-sensor mutant of RNase E in vitro that, contrary to current models, 5'-monophosphate-independent, 'direct entry' cleavage is a major pathway for degrading and processing RNA. Moreover, we present further evidence that direct entry is facilitated by RNase E binding simultaneously to multiple unpaired regions. These simple requirements may maximize the rate of degradation and processing by permitting multiple sites to be surveyed directly without being constrained by 5'-end tethering. Cleavage was detected at a multitude of sites previously undescribed for RNase E, including ones that regulate the activity and specificity of ribosomes. A potentially broad role for RNase G, an RNase E paralogue, in the trimming of 5'-monophosphorylated ends was also revealed.

Project description:The PAF1 complex (PAF1C) functions in multiple transcriptional and co-transcriptional processes. Although many aspects of the requirement for PAF1 in coding gene transcription have been heavily studied, the function of PAF1C at sites of non-coding transcription is poorly understood. eRNAs and PROMPTs are pervasive transcripts transcribed by RNA Polymerase II and rapidly degraded after 3’ endonucleolytic cleavage by the Integrator complex (Integrator). Here we show that PAF1C depletion results in near universal 3’ end processing defects in pervasive transcripts, leading to transcription termination dysregulation. Mechanistically, PAF1C recruits Integrator to chromatin through direct interactions promoting timely cleavage and transcription termination of pervasive transcripts. We also show that PAF1C recruits Integrator to the promoters of coding genes, where PAF1C then dissociates from the Integrator complex upon entry into processive elongation. Our results demonstrate an unexpected function for PAF1C in limiting the length and accumulation of pervasive transcripts, while highlighting a general requirement for PAF1C in Integrator recruitment.

Project description:The RNase E family is renowned for being central to the processing and decay of all types of RNA in many species of bacteria, as well as providing the first examples of endonucleases that can recognize 5'-monophosphorylated ends thereby increasing the efficiency of cleavage. However, there is increasing evidence that some transcripts can be cleaved efficiently by Escherichia coli RNase E via direct entry, i.e. in the absence of the recognition of a 5'-monophosphorylated end. Here, we provide biochemical evidence that direct entry is central to the processing of transfer RNA (tRNA) in E. coli, one of the core functions of RNase E, and show that it is mediated by specific unpaired regions that are adjacent, but not contiguous to segments cleaved by RNase E. In addition, we find that direct entry at a site on the 5' side of a tRNA precursor triggers a series of 5'-monophosphate-dependent cleavages. Consistent with a major role for direct entry in tRNA processing, we provide additional evidence that a 5'-monophosphate is not required to activate the catalysis step in cleavage. Other examples of tRNA precursors processed via direct entry are also provided. Thus, it appears increasingly that direct entry by RNase E has a major role in bacterial RNA metabolism.

Project description:Diverse elements within the 5’ untranslated region of an mRNA can influence the translation efficiency at the main AUG codon. We previously identified a core picornaviral like Y16X11-AUG motif with 16-nt polypyrimidine CU-tract separated by an 11-nt spacer sequence from the 13th AUG codon recognized as the preferred initiation site within the Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) internal ribosome entry site (IRES) element. The motif is proposed to function as an internal ribosomal landing site at the designated start codon. Here we exposed the cooperative role of multiple CU-rich segments flanking the TriMV YX-AUG motif to drive internal initiation of translation at the preferred start site. We propose that these auxiliary domains may enhance the ribosome capacity at proximity of the correct initiation site. These polypyrimidine tracts can be modulated with a cryptic AUG and in a position-dependent manner to replace the native YX-AUG motif and to reprogram translation to the upstream sites, and thus uncovering a new layer of control of the selection of the initiation site. In line with these observations, mass spec analysis of proteins directly interacting with translationally impaired TriMV IRES mutants that bear these motifs indicated an enrichment in 40S and 60S ribosomal related proteins, revealing a new function of polypyrimidine tracts to regulate IRES-driven translation. Accessibility of these RNA regions for in trans interaction was validated by SHAPE analysis of the entire TriMV leader sequence and supported by the ability of anti-sense oligonucleotides designed to block the CU-tracts accessibility to impair IRES activity. This is the first evidence that defines the core modular domains required for start codon selection in a complex, multi-AUG viral 5’UTR for translation in plants.
