Project description:It is currently unknown how extensively the double-stranded RNA binding protein Staufen (Stau)1 is utilized by mammalian cells to regulate gene expression. To date, Stau1 binding to the 3â untranslated region (3âUTR) of ARF1 mRNA has been shown to target ARF1 mRNA for Stau1-mediated mRNA decay (SMD). ARF1 SMD depends on translation and recruitment of the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay factor Upf1 to the ARF1 3âUTR by Stau1. Here, we use microarray analyses to examine changes in the abundance of cellular mRNAs that occur when Stau1 is depleted. Results indicate that 1.1% and 1.0% of the 11,569 HeLa-cell transcripts that were analyzed are, respectively, upregulated and downregulated at least two-fold in three independently performed experiments. Additionally, we localize the Stau1 binding site to the 3âUTR of four mRNAs that we define as natural SMD targets. Together, these and substantiating results suggest that Stau1 influences the expression of a wide variety of physiologic transcripts and metabolic pathways. Experiment Overall Design: We report the results of three independently performed microarray analyses that examined changes in the abundance of transcripts from HeLa-cell genes upon Stau1 depletion. HeLa cells were transiently transfected with either a nonspecific Control small interfering (si)RNA or Stau1 siRNA. Stau1 siRNA reduced the level of cellular Stau1 to as little as 4% of normal, where normal is defined as the level in the presence of Control siRNA (data not shown). RNA from three independently performed transfections was separately hybridized to microarrays.

Project description:In human cells, Staufen1 is double-stranded RNA-binding protein involved in several cellular functions including mRNA localization, translation and decay. We used a genome wide approach to identify and compare the mRNA targets of mammalian Staufen1. The mRNA content of Staufen1 mRNPs was identified by probing DNA microarrays with probes derived from mRNAs isolated from immunopurified Staufen-containing complexes following transfection of HEK293T cells with a Stau1-HA expressor. Our results indicate that 7% of the cellular RNAs expressed in HEK293T cells are found in Stau1-containing mRNPs. There is a predominance of mRNAs involved in cell metabolism, transport, transcription, regulation of cell processes and catalytic activity. Keywords: Immunoprecipitation, Staufen, microarray

Project description:Purpose: We performed RNA-Immunoprecipitation in Tandem (RIPiT) experiments against human Staufen1 (Stau1) to identify its precise RNA binding sites in a transcriptome-wide manner. To monitor the consequences of Stau1 binding in terms of target mRNA levels and ribosome occupancy, we modified the levels of endogenous Stau1 in cells by siRNA or overexpression and performed RNA-sequencing and ribosome-footprinting experiments. Staufen1 (Stau1) is a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) binding protein implicated in mRNA transport, regulation of translation, mRNA decay and stress granule homeostasis. Here we combined RNA-Immunoprecipitation in Tandem (RIPiT) with RNase footprinting, formaldehyde crosslinking, sonication-mediated RNA fragmentation and deep sequencing to map Staufen1 binding sites transcriptome-wide. We find that Stau1 binds complex secondary structures containing multiple short helices, many of which are formed by inverted Alu elements in annotated 3'UTRs or in "strongly distal" 3'UTRs extending far beyond the canonical polyadenylation signal. Stau1 also interacts with both actively translating ribosomes and with mRNA coding sequences (CDS) and 3'UTRs in proportion to their GC-content and internal secondary structure-forming propensity. On mRNAs with high CDS GC-content, higher Stau1 levels lead to greater ribosome densities, suggesting a general role for Stau1 in modulating the ability of ribosomes to elongate through secondary structures located in CDS regions.

We used HEK293 cells expressing near endogenous levels of wild-type Flag-Stau1 (65KDa isoform with an N-Terminal Flag tag). As a control we used a mutant version of Stau1 that is not functional for dsRNA binding. Formaldehyde crosslinking experiments and RNase footprinting experiments were done in two biological replicates. All RNASeq, Ribosome footprinting and PAS-Seq were done in two biological replicates.

Project description:Several of the thousands of human long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been functionally characterized; however, potential roles for lncRNAs in somatic tissue differentiation remain poorly understood. Here we show that a 3.7kb lncRNA, terminal differentiation-induced ncRNA (TINCR), controls human epidermal differentiation by a post-transcriptional mechanism. TINCR is required for high mRNA abundance of key differentiation genes, many of which are mutated in human skin diseases, including FLG, LOR, ALOXE3, ALOX12B, ABCA12, CASP14 and ELOVL3. TINCR-deficient epidermis lacked terminal differentiation ultrastructure, including keratohyalin granules and intact lamellar bodies. Genome-scale RNA interactome analysis revealed that TINCR interacts with a suite of differentiation mRNAs. TINCR-mRNA interaction occurs through a 25 nucleotide M-bM-^@M-^\TINCR boxM-bM-^@M-^] motif which is strongly enriched in interacting mRNAs and required for TINCR binding. A high-throughput screen to analyze TINCR binding capacity to ~9,400 human recombinant proteins revealed direct binding of TINCR RNA to the Staufen1 (STAU1) protein. STAU1-deficient tissue recapitulated the impaired differentiation seen with TINCR depletion. Loss of UPF1 and UPF2, both of which are required for STAU1-mediated RNA decay (SMD), however, lacked differentiation impacts. Instead, the TINCR/STAU1 complex seems to mediate stabilization of differentiation mRNAs, such as KRT80. These data identify TINCR as a key lncRNA required for somatic tissue differentiation, which occurs through inducible lncRNA binding to differentiation mRNAs to ensure their expression.

Project description:Transcription factors play key roles in development and diseases by controlling gene expression. Forkhead Box A1 (FOXA1) is a pioneer transcription factor essential for mouse development that plays important roles in prostate and breast cancer. In colorectal cancer (CRC), we have found that FOXA1 is significantly downregulated, suggesting potential tumor suppressive functions. However, the mechanism(s) by which FOXA1 is downregulated in CRC cells remain largely unclear. We investigated the regulation of FOXA1 expression in CRC, focusing on well-differentiated CRC cells where it is robustly expressed. Genome-wide stability assays identified FOXA1 as an unstable mRNA in CRC cells. We validated FOXA1 mRNA instability in multiple CRC lines and patient-derived CRC organoids and found FOXA1 mRNA is degraded via its 3’UTR. Through FOXA1 3’UTR RNA pulldowns, we identified Staufen1 (STAU1) as a potential regulator of FOXA1. Indeed, knockdown of STAU1 results in increased expression of FOXA1 mRNA and protein due to increased FOXA1 mRNA stability. A subset of the STAU1-regulated transcriptome is enriched for FOXA1 targets, whose expression also increases upon STAU1 knockdown. Collectively, this study uncovers the molecular mechanism by which FOXA1 is regulated in CRC and provides insights into our understanding of the complex mechanisms of gene regulation in cancer.

Project description:Staufen1 (STAU1) is an RNA-binding protein involved in maturation, localization, translation and decay of mRNAs. STAU1 expression is modulated during the cell cycle and decreases during mitosis. In prometaphase, STAU155 binds specific classes of mRNAs that code for proteins implicated in transcription and cell cycle regulation. In this paper, we report that STAU155 co-localizes with microtubules on the mitotic spindle in human colorectal cancer cell line HCT116, and map the molecular determinant required for this association within the N-terminal 88 amino acids (aa 25-37). Interestingly, STAU1 co-purifies with ribosomal proteins and co-localizes with active sites of translation on the mitotic spindle. To characterize STAU1-dependent mRNA transport and localization on the spindle, we used RNAseq analysis to identify spindle-associated mRNAs on purified spindles of wild-type and STAU1-KO CRISPR cell lines. Our datasets identify 161 protein-coding transcripts that are less abundant on the mitotic spindle of STAU1-KO cells compared to WT, and 660 that are more abundant. Altogether, these data demonstrate that STAU1 controls the transport and the localization of specific sub-populations of mRNAs to the mitotic spindle of cancer cells and suggest that at least some spindle-localized mRNAs undergo local translation during mitosis.
