RNA-binding profiles of Drosophila CPEB proteins Orb and Orb2

ABSTRACT: Localized protein translation is critical in many biological contexts, particularly in highly polarized cells, such as neurons, to regulate gene expression in a spatiotemporal manner. The cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding (CPEB) family of RNA-binding proteins has emerged as a key regulator of mRNA transport and local translation required for early embryonic development, synaptic plasticity, and long-term memory (LTM). Drosophila Orb and Orb2 are single members of the CPEB1 and CPEB2 subfamilies of the CPEB proteins, respectively. At present, the identity of the mRNA targets they regulate is not fully known, and the binding specificity of the CPEB2 subfamily is a matter of debate. Using transcriptome-wide UV cross-linking and immunoprecipitation, we define the mRNA-binding sites and targets of Drosophila CPEBs. Both Orb and Orb2 bind linear cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-like sequences in the 3′ UTRs of largely overlapping target mRNAs, with Orb2 potentially having a broader specificity. Both proteins use their RNA-recognition motifs but not the Zinc-finger region for RNA binding. A subset of Orb2 targets is translationally regulated in cultured S2 cells and fly head extracts. Moreover, pan-neuronal RNAi knockdown of these targets suggests that a number of these targets are involved in LTM. Our results provide a comprehensive list of mRNA targets of the two CPEB proteins in Drosophila, thus providing insights into local protein synthesis involved in various biological processes, including LTM.

RNA regulated by Orb in Drosophila

Project description:We used microarrays to identify mRNAs regulated by Orb, the Drosophila CPEB homolog, during oogenesis. We analyzed RNA recovered from immunoprecipitation experiments and transcriptomes of wild-type and orb mutant females. Keywords: mRNA targets of a regulatory protein

Comparative analyses of vertebrate CPEB-family of proteins define two sub-families with distinct, but coordinated, functions in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expressionComparative analyses of vertebrate CPEB-family of proteins define two sub-families with distinct, but coordinated, functions in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression

Project description:Background: The vertebrate CPEB-family of RNA-binding proteins promote translational repression or activation of their target mRNAs, which harbor cytoplasmic polyadenylation elements (CPEs) in their 3’ UTRs, through cytoplasmic changes in their poly(A) tail lengths. However, their regulation(s) and mechanism(s) of action have not been systematically addressed as a family. Results: Here we perform a comparative analysis of the four vertebrate CPEBs in their regulation by phosphorylation, supramolecular assemblies’ composition and properties and in their mRNA targets. Conclusions: We show that although all four CPEBs are able to recruit CCR4-NOT deadenylation complex when not phosphorylated, their mechanisms of action determine two subfamilies with distinct, but coordinated, regulation by phosphorylation and target specificity. Thus, CPEB1 forms ribonucleoprotein complexes that are remodeled upon a single phosphorylation event, by AurkA, and are associated with mRNAs containing canonical CPEs. On the other hand, CPEB2-4 are regulated by multiple proline-directed phosphorylations that control their liquid-liquid phase-separation. CPEB2-4 mRNA-targets include CPEB1-bound transcripts, with canonical CPEs, but also a specific subset of mRNAs with non-canonical CPEs. In turn, CPEB2-4 coacervates display compositional, morphological and dynamic differences. Altogether, these results show how, globally, the CPEB family of proteins is able to integrate cellular cues to generate a finetuned adaptive response in gene expression regulation.

Drosophila early embryos LC-MSMS

Project description:Cytoplasmic polyadenylation is a mechanism to promote mRNA translation in a wide variety of biological contexts.The conserved RNA-binding protein family CPEB has been shown to mediate canonical cytoplasmic polyadenylation of target transcripts. We have previously reported evidence for RNA-interference factor Dicer-2 as a component of a non-canonical complex, that operates independent of CPEB in Drosophila. In this study, we investigate Dicer-2 mRNA targets and protein co-factors in cytoplasmic polyadenylation. Using RIP‐Seq analysis we identify hundreds of potential Dicer-2 target transcripts, ~60% of which were previously found as targets of the cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase Wispy, suggesting widespread roles of Dicer-2 in cytoplasmic polyadenylation. Large-scale immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry revealed Ataxin-2 and Twenty-four among the high-confidence interactors of Dicer-2. Complex analyses indicated that both factors form an RNA‐independent complex with Dicer‐2, and mediate interactions of Dicer‐2 with Wispy. Functional poly(A)‐test analyses showed that Twenty‐four and Ataxin-2 are required for cytoplasmic polyadenylation of a subset of Dicer‐2 targets. Our results reveal components of a novel cytoplasmic polyadenylation complex that operates during Drosophila early embryogenesis.

Ataxin-2, Twenty-four and Dicer-2 are components of a non-canonical cytoplasmic polyadenylation complex

Project description:Cytoplasmic polyadenylation is a mechanism to promote mRNA translation in a wide variety of biological contexts. A canonical complex centered around the conserved RNA-binding protein family CPEB has been shown to be responsible for this process. We have previously reported evidence for an alternative non-canonical, CPEB-independent complex in Drosophila, of which the RNA-interference factor Dicer-2 is a component. Here, we investigate Dicer-2 mRNA targets and protein co-factors in cytoplasmic polyadenylation. Using RIP-Seq analysis we identify hundreds of novel Dicer-2 target transcripts, ~50% of which were previously found as targets of the cytoplasmic poly(A) polymerase Wispy, suggesting widespread roles of Dicer-2 in cytoplasmic polyadenylation. Large-scale immunoprecipitation revealed Ataxin-2 and Twenty-four among the high-confidence interactors of Dicer-2. Functional analysis indicate that both factors form an RNA-independent complex with Dicer-2, and are required for cytoplasmic polyadenylation of Dicer-2 targets. Our results reveal the composition of a novel cytoplasmic polyadenylation complex that operates during Drosophila early embryogenesis.

Translational control of autophagy by Orb in the Drosophila germline [mature]

Project description:Drosophila Orb, the homologue of vertebrate CPEB is a key translational regulator involved in oocyte polarity and maturation through poly(A) tail elongation of specific mRNAs. orb has also an essential function during early oogenesis which has not been addressed at the molecular level. Here, we show that orb prevents cell death during early oogenesis, thus allowing oogenesis to progress. It does so through the repression of autophagy, by directly repressing, together with the CCR4 deadenylase, the translation of Autophagy-specific gene 12 (Atg12) mRNA. Autophagy and cell death observed in orb mutant ovaries are reduced by decreasing Atg12 or other Atg mRNA levels. These results reveal a role of Orb in translational repression and identify autophagy as an essential pathway regulated by Orb during early oogenesis. Importantly, they also establish translational regulation as a major mode of control of autophagy, a key process in cell homeostasis in response to environmental cues.
