Differential regulation of alternatively polyadenylated isoforms

ABSTRACT: Alternative Cleavage and Polyadenylation (APA) plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression across eukaryotes. Although APA is extensively studied, its regulation within cellular compartments and its physiological impact remains largely enigmatic. Here, we employed a rigorous subcellular fractionation approach to compare APA profiles of cytoplasmic and nuclear RNA fractions from human cell lines. This comparison allowed us to extract APA isoforms that are subjected to differential regulation and provided us with a platform to interrogate the molecular regulatory pathways that shape the APA profiles in the subcellular locations. Subsequently, we depleted these cells of Dicer to compromise the miRNA biogenesis pathway to isolate the differentially regulated APA events that were regulated by miRNA.

Gene expression dynamics are a proxy for selective pressures on alternatively polyadenylated isoforms.

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) produces isoforms with distinct 3'-ends, yet their functional differences remain largely unknown. Here, we introduce the APA-seq method to detect the expression levels of APA isoforms from 3'-end RNA-Seq data by exploiting both paired-end reads for gene isoform identification and quantification. We detected the expression levels of APA isoforms in individual Caenorhabditis elegans embryos at different stages throughout embryogenesis. Examining the correlation between the temporal profiles of isoforms led us to distinguish two classes of genes: those with highly correlated isoforms (HCI) and those with lowly correlated isoforms (LCI) across time. We hypothesized that variants with similar expression profiles may be the product of biological noise, while the LCI variants may be under tighter selection and consequently their distinct 3' UTR isoforms are more likely to have functional consequences. Supporting this notion, we found that LCI genes have significantly more miRNA binding sites, more correlated expression profiles with those of their targeting miRNAs and a relative lack of correspondence between their transcription and protein abundances. Collectively, our results suggest that a lack of coherence among the regulation of 3' UTR isoforms is a proxy for selective pressures acting upon APA usage and consequently for their functional relevance.

hnRNPC regulates cancer-specific alternative cleavage and polyadenylation profiles

Project description:Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) can occur at more than half of all human genes, greatly enhancing the cellular repertoire of mRNA isoforms. As these isoforms can have altered stability, localisation and coding potential, deregulation of APA can disrupt gene expression and this has been linked to many diseases including cancer progression. How APA generates cancer-specific isoform profiles and what their physiological consequences are, however, is largely unclear. Here we use a subcellular fractionation approach to determine the nuclear and cytoplasmic APA profiles of successive stages of colon cancer using a cell line-based model. Using this approach, we show that during cancer progression specific APA profiles are established. We identify that overexpression of hnRNPC has a critical role in the establishment of APA profiles characteristic for metastatic colon cancer cells, by regulating poly(A) site selection in a subset of genes that have been implicated in cancer progression including MTHFD1L.

Impact of Alternatively Polyadenylated Isoforms of ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR4 with Activator and Repressor Function on Senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana L.

Project description:Leaf senescence is highly regulated by transcriptional reprogramming, implying an important role for transcriptional regulators. ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR4 (ERF4) was shown to be involved in senescence regulation and to exist in two different isoforms due to alternative polyadenylation of its pre-mRNA. One of these isoforms, ERF4-R, contains an ERF-associated amphiphilic repression (EAR) motif and acts as repressor, whereas the other form, ERF4-A, is lacking this motif and acts as activator. Here, we analyzed the impact of these isoforms on senescence. Both isoforms were able to complement the delayed senescence phenotype of the erf4 mutant with a tendency of ERF4-A for a slightly better complementation. However, overexpression led to accelerated senescence of 35S:ERF4-R plants but not of 35S:ERF4-A plants. We identified CATALASE3 (CAT3) as direct target gene of ERF4 in a yeast-one-hybrid screen. Both isoforms directly bind to the CAT3 promoter but have antagonistic effects on gene expression. The ratio of ERF4-A to ERF4-R mRNA changed during development, leading to a complex age-dependent regulation of CAT3 activity. The RNA-binding protein FPA shifted the R/A-ratio and fpa mutants are pointing towards a role of alternative polyadenylation regulators in senescence.

EASI--enrichment of alternatively spliced isoforms.

Project description:Alternative splicing produces more than one protein from the majority of genes and the rarer forms can have dominant functions. Instability of alternative transcripts can also hinder the study of regulation of gene expression by alternative splicing. To investigate the true extent of alternative splicing we have developed a simple method of enriching alternatively spliced isoforms (EASI) from PCRs using beads charged with Thermus aquaticus single-stranded DNA-binding protein (T.Aq ssb). This directly purifies the single-stranded regions of heteroduplexes between alternative splices formed in the PCR, enabling direct sequencing of all the rare alternative splice forms of any gene. As a proof of principle the alternative transcripts of three tumour suppressor genes, TP53, MLH1 and MSH2, were isolated from testis cDNA. These contain missing exons, cryptic splice sites or include completely novel exons. EASI beads are stable for months in the fridge and can be easily combined with standard protocols to speed the cloning of novel transcripts.

HTLV-I antisense transcripts initiating in the 3'LTR are alternatively spliced and polyadenylated.

Project description:Antisense transcription in retroviruses has been suggested for both HIV-1 and HTLV-I, although the existence and coding potential of these transcripts remain controversial. Thorough characterization is required to demonstrate the existence of these transcripts and gain insight into their role in retrovirus biology.This report provides the first complete characterization of an antisense retroviral transcript that encodes the previously described HTLV-I HBZ protein. In this study, we show that HBZ-encoding transcripts initiate in the 3' long terminal repeat (LTR) at several positions and consist of two alternatively spliced variants (SP1 and SP2). Expression of the most abundant HBZ spliced variant (SP1) could be detected in different HTLV-I-infected cell lines and importantly in cellular clones isolated from HTLV-I-infected patients. Polyadenylation of HBZ RNA occurred at a distance of 1450 nucleotides downstream of the HBZ stop codon in close proximity of a typical polyA signal. We have also determined that translation mostly initiates from the first exon located in the 3' LTR and that the HBZ isoform produced from the SP1 spliced variant demonstrated inhibition of Tax and c-Jun-dependent transcriptional activation.These results conclusively demonstrate the existence of antisense transcription in retroviruses, which likely plays a role in HTLV-I-associated pathogenesis through HBZ protein synthesis.

Long read subcellular fractionation and sequencing reveals the translational fate of full length mRNA isoforms during neuronal differentiation

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) alters the cis-regulatory landscape of mRNA isoforms leading to transcripts with distinct localization, stability and translational efficiency. To rigorously investigate mRNA isoform-specific ribosome association, we generated subcellular fractionation and sequencing (Frac-seq) libraries using both conventional short reads and long reads from human embryonic stem cells (ESC) and neural progenitor cells (NPC) derived from the same ESC. We performed de novo transcriptome assembly from high-confidence long reads from cytosolic, monosomal, light and heavy polyribosomal fractions and quantified their abundance using short reads from their respective subcellular fractions. Thousands of transcripts in each cell type exhibited association with particular subcellular fractions relative to the cytosol. Of the multi-isoform genes, 27% and 19% exhibited significant differential isoform sedimentation in ESC and NPC respectively. Alternative promoter usage and internal exon skipping accounted for the majority of differences between isoforms from the same gene. Random forest classifiers implicated coding sequence (CDS) and UTR lengths as important determinants of isoform-specific sedimentation profiles, and motif analyses reveal potential cell type-specific and subcellular fraction-associated RNA-binding protein signatures. Taken together our data demonstrate that alternative mRNA processing within the CDS and UTRs impacts the translational control of mRNA isoforms during stem cell differentiation, and highlights the utility of using a novel long-read sequencing-based method to study translational control.

A jack of all trades and a master of some: remodeling of signaling pathways downstream of CFIm 3’ end processing factor

Project description:The mammalian cleavage factor I (CFIm) has been implicated in alternative polyadenylation (APA) in a broad range of contexts, from cancers to learning deficits and parasite infections. To uncover the molecular pathways that translate CFIm expression levels into these observed phenotypes, we carried out a multi-omics analysis of cell lines in which the CFIm25 (NUDT21) or CFIm68 (CPSF6) subunits were either repressed by siRNA-mediated knockdown or over-expressed from stably integrated constructs. We established that more than 600 genes exhibit CFIm-dependent APA, and they cluster in distinct functional classes related to protein metabolism. The activity of the ERK pathway traces the CFIm concentration, and explains some of the metabolic and proliferation changes induced by CFIm perturbations. Transcripts of miRNA pathway proteins are prominent targets of CFIm-dependent APA. This leads to increased miRNA biogenesis and repressive activity at the same time as 3’ UTRs become shorter upon CFIm depletion. Our study provides a first systematic assessment of the signalling pathways downstream of CFIm to improve our understanding of CFIm-dependent phenotypes.
