Project description:Small RNAs regulate the genetic networks through a ribonucleoprotein complex called the RNA induced silencing complexes (RISC), which in mammals contains at its center one of four Argonaute proteins (Ago1-4). A key regulatory event in the RNAi and miRNA pathways is Ago loading, where double stranded small RNA duplexes are incorporated into RISC (pre-RISC) and then become single stranded (mature-RISC), a process that is not well understood. The Agos contain an evolutionary conserved PAZ (Piwi/Argonaute/Zwille) domain whose primary function is to bind the 3’-end of small RNAs. We created multiple Paz domain disrupted Ago mutant proteins and studied their biochemical properties and biological functionality in cells. We found that the Paz domain is dispensable for Ago loading of slicing-competent RISC. In contrast, in the absence of slicer activity or slicer substrate duplex RNAs, Paz-disrupted Agos bound duplex siRNAs but were unable to unwind/eject the passenger strand and form functional RISC complexes. We have discovered that the highly conserved Paz domain plays an important role in RISC activation, providing new mechanistic insights into how miRNAs regulate genes, as well as new insights for future design of miRNA and RNAi-based therapeutics.

Various Argonautes associated small RNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing the Agos-IP samples in HEK293 Cells transfected with corresponding Argonaute.

Project description:Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent malignancy of the endocrine system. We and others have shown that several microRNAs, which are ~21-24nt post-transcriptional gene regulators, are aberrantly expressed in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) and papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) tissues and cell lines. In the cell, miRNAs are bound to Argonaute (AGO) proteins as low molecular weight RNA Induced Silencing Complexes (LMW-RISCs) that can then assemble into high molecular weight RISCs (HMW-RISCs) that also include additional proteins and mRNA. In this study, we sought to analyze the association of miRNAs across RISC complexity in ATC and PTC. For both ATC and PTC lines, miRNAs were enriched in HMW-RISC and LMW-RISC fractions compared with intermediate fractions or very low molecular weight (AGO-poor) fractions. Furthermore, 60% of all miRNAs were more abundant in LMW-RISC versus HMW- RISC fractions by ~2-4 fold. Surprisingly, miR-21-5p, one of the most abundant miRNAs in both ATC and PTC lines, was consistently one the least abundant miRNAs in HMW-RISC and the most enriched miRNA in LMW-RISC fractions. These findings suggest that miR-21 may be uniquely distributed in RISCs relative to other miRNAs. Furthermore, the methodology described here is a useful way to assess the relative magnitude of miR-21association with HMW and LMW-RISCs and may help to reveal the true roles of this miRNA in thyroid cancer development, progression, and treatment.

Project description:The core components of RNA silencing effector complexes include small RNAs and members of the Argonaute (AGO) protein family. Arabidopsis encodes ten AGOs and complex population of small RNAs. It remains largely unknown how these small RNAs are recognized and recruited by each AGO complex. Here we purified four AGO complexes and identified small RNAs in each complex by deep sequencing. Keywords: Small RNA sorting Small RNAs were prepared from Arabidopsis AGO1, AGO2, AGO4 and AGO5 complexes, ligated to a 3' adaptor and a 5' acceptor sequentially, and then RT-PCR amplified. PCR products were reamplified using a pair of solexa cloning primers and then provided for sequencing.
