Ribosomes guide pachytene piRNA formation on long intergenic piRNA precursors

ABSTRACT: PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs essential for fertility. In adult mouse testes, most piRNAs are derived from long single-stranded RNAs lacking annotated open reading frames (ORFs). The mechanisms underlying how piRNA sequences are defined during the cleavages of piRNA precursors remain elusive. Here, we show that 80S ribosomes translate the 5′-proximal short ORFs (uORFs) of piRNA precursors. The MOV10L1/Armitage RNA helicase then facilitates the translocation of ribosomes into the uORF downstream regions (UDRs). The ribosome-bound UDRs are targeted by piRNA processing machinery, with the processed ribosome-protected regions becoming piRNAs. The dual modes of interaction between ribosomes and piRNA precursors underlie the distinct piRNA biogenesis requirements at uORFs and UDRs. Ribosomes also mediate piRNA processing in roosters and green lizards, implying that this mechanism is evolutionarily conserved in amniotes. Our results uncover a function for ribosomes on non-coding regions of RNAs and reveal the mechanisms underlying how piRNAs are defined.

Coupled protein synthesis and ribosome-guided piRNA processing on mRNAs

Project description:PIWI-interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) protect the germline genome and are essential for fertility. Previously, we showed that ribosomes guide the biogenesis of piRNAs from long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) after translating the short open reading frames (ORFs) near their 5′ cap. It remained unclear, however, how ribosomes proceed downstream of ORFs and how piRNA precursors distinguish from other RNAs. It is thus important to test whether a short ORF length is required for substrate recognition for ribosome guided-piRNA biogenesis. Here, we characterized a poorly understood class of piRNAs that originate from the 3′ untranslated regions (3′UTRs) of protein coding genes in mice and chickens. We demonstrate that their precursors are full-length mRNAs and that post-termination 80S ribosomes guide piRNA production on 3′UTRs after translation of upstream long ORFs. Similar to non-sense mediated decay (NMD), piRNA biogenesis degrades mRNA right after pioneer rounds of translation and fine-tunes protein production from mRNAs. Interestingly, however, we found that NMD, along with other surveillance pathways for ribosome recycling are temporally sequestered during the pachytene stage to allow for robust piRNA production. Although 3′UTR piRNA precursor mRNAs code for distinct proteins in mice and chickens, they all harbor embedded transposable elements (TEs) and produce piRNAs that cleave TEs, suggesting that TE suppression, rather than the function of proteins, is the primary evolutionary force maintaining a subset of mRNAs as piRNA precursors. Altogether, we discover a function of the piRNA pathway in fine-tuning protein production and reveal a conserved, general piRNA biogenesis mechanism that recognizes translating RNAs regardless of their ORF length in amniotes.

Trans-generationally inherited piRNAs trigger piRNA biogenesis by changing the chromatin of piRNA clusters and inducing precursor processing [cuff smallRNA]

Project description:Small non-coding RNAs that associate with Piwi proteins, called piRNAs, serve as guides for repression of diverse transposable elements in germ cells of Metazoa. In Drosophila, the genomic regions that give rise to piRNAs, the so-called piRNA clusters, are transcribed to generate long precursor molecules that are processed into mature piRNAs. How genomic regions that give rise to piRNA precursor transcripts are differentiated from the rest of the genome and how these transcripts are specifically channeled into the piRNA biogenesis pathway are not known. We found that trans-generationally inherited piRNAs provide the critical trigger for piRNA production from homologous genomic regions in the next generation by two different mechanisms. First, inherited piRNAs enhance processing of homologous transcripts into mature piRNAs by initiating the ping-pong cycle in the cytoplasm. Second, inherited piRNAs induce installment of the H3K9me3 mark on genomic piRNA cluster sequences. The HP1 homolog Rhino binds to the H3K9me3 mark through its chromodomain and is enriched over piRNA clusters. Rhino recruits the piRNA biogenesis factor Cutoff to piRNA clusters and is required for efficient transcription of piRNA precursors. We propose that trans-generationally inherited piRNAs act as an epigenetic memory for identification of substrates for piRNA biogenesis on two levels, by inducing a permissive chromatin environment for piRNA precursor synthesis and by enhancing processing of these precursors. small RNA (19-29nt) sequencing of RNA from ovaries of cuff+/- or cuff-/- flies

MAEL-dependent selective processing of pachytene piRNA precursors and translation of spermiogenic mRNAs

Project description:Piwi-interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) of fetal prospermatogonia of mice have been strongly implicated in transposon control. In contrast, little is known about biogenesis and function of abundant piRNAs from adult testes expressed in late spermatocytes and round spermatids. These so-called "pachytene" piRNAs are processed from long non-coding piRNA precursors and have no defined RNA targets in the transcriptome even though their binding partner Piwi, MIWI, is essential for spermiogenesis and fertility. Here we report that 129SvJae mice lacking Maelstrom (MAEL), a conserved piRNA pathway protein, exhibit spermiogenic arrest with defects in acrosome and flagellum formation. Further analysis revealed MAEL association with RNPs containing MIWI, TDRD6, and processed intermediates of pachytene piRNA precursors of various length. Loss of MAEL causes a 10-fold drop in pachytene piRNA levels but an increase in piRNAs from abundantly expressed mRNAs. These results suggest a MAEL-dependent mechanism for the selective processing of pachytene piRNA precursor into piRNAs. Strikingly, ribosome profiling of Mael-null testes revealed that reduced piRNA production is accompanied by reduced translation of over 800 spermiogenic mRNAs including those encoding acrosome and flagellum proteins. In light of recent reports of piRNA-independent protection of translationally repressed mRNPs by MIWI and piRNA-dependent turnover of MIWI, we propose that pachytene piRNAs function by controlling the availably of MIWI for the translational repression of spermiogenic mRNAs. piRNA sequencing, RNA immunoprecipitation, and expression measurements (RNA-Seq and ribosome profiling) in wild-type and Mael -/- testes
