Viral nucleases reveal an mRNA degradation-transcription feedback loop in mammalian cells

ABSTRACT: Gamma-herpesviruses encode a cytoplasmic mRNA-targeting endonuclease, termed SOX, that cleaves the majority of mRNAs within a cell. Cleaved fragments are subsequently degraded by the cellular mRNA degradation machinery. Here, we reveal that mammalian cells respond to this widespread cytoplasmic mRNA decay by altering levels of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription in the nucleus. Measurements of both RNAPII recruitment to promoters and nascent mRNA synthesis revealed that the majority of affected genes are transcriptionally repressed in SOX-expressing cells. The transcriptional feedback does not occur in response to the initial endonuclease-induced cleavage, but instead to degradation of the cleaved fragments by cellular exonucleases. In particular, Xrn1 catalytic activity is required for transcriptional repression. Notably, viral mRNA transcription escapes decay-induced repression, and this escape requires Xrn1. Collectively, these results indicate that mRNA decay rates impact transcription in mammalian cells, and that gamma-herpesviruses have incorporated this feedback mechanism into their own gene expression strategy.

NIH 3T3 cells were mock, WT, or ∆HS infected with MHV68 in duplicate and 4sU-labeled RNA isolated. 4sU-labeled RNA was submitted for sequencing and reads aligned to the mouse genome or MHV68 viral genome. Differential cellular gene expression was determined between mock and WT infected, mock and ∆HS infected, as well as differential viral gene expression between WT and ∆HS.

Global changes in mRNA abundance drive differential shuttling of RNA binding proteins, linking cytoplasmic RNA degradation to transcription

Project description:Alterations in global mRNA decay can broadly impact multiple upstream and downstream stages of gene expression. For example, accelerated cytoplasmic mRNA degradation can trigger a reduction in mammalian RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription, although signals that connect these seemingly distal processes remain largely unknown. Here, we used tandem mass tag labeling with mass spectrometry to chart how changes in Xrn1-dependent mRNA degradation impact nuclear-cytoplasmic protein distribution in human cells. Notably, accelerating mRNA decay through expression of a gammaherpesviral endonuclease known to coordinate with Xrn1 drove nuclear relocalization of many RNA binding proteins. Particularly enriched in the relocalized subset were factors linked to the poly(A) tail. Conversely, cells lacking Xrn1 exhibited changes in the localization and/or abundance of numerous factors linked to mRNA turnover. Based on these data, we uncovered a new role for cytoplasmic poly(A) binding protein in repressing RNAPII transcription upon its mRNA decay-induced translocation to the nucleus.

The mRNA degradation factor Xrn1 regulates transcription elongation in parallel to Ccr4

Project description:During the last decade several examples of coordination between gene transcription and mRNA degradation have been reported. mRNA imprinting by Rpb4 and 7 subunits of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and by the Ccr4-Not complex allows controlling its fate during transcription. Transcription regulation by mRNA degradation factors like Xrn1 constitutes a feedback loop that contributes to mRNA homeostasis. Mechanistic details of these phenomena are unclear. Most studies involve measurement of mRNA decay rates, usually by stressing procedures such as transcriptional shut-off or incorporation of modified nucleotides that can lead to biased results. In this work we have used the easily repressible yeast GAL1 gene to perform a genetic analysis of mRNA synthesis and degradation under physiological conditions. We combined this experimental approach with computational multi-agent modelling, testing different possibilities of Xrn1 and Ccr4-Not action in gene transcription. This double strategy brought us to conclude that Xrn1 regulates RNAPII backtracking in a Ccr4-independent manner. We validated this conclusion measuring TFIIS genome-wide recruitment to elongating RNAPII molecules. We found that xrn1∆ and ccr4∆ exhibited very different patterns of TFIIS/RNPAII which confirmed their differential role in controlling transcription elongation.

RNA-controlled nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of mRNA decay factors regulates mRNA synthesis and a novel mRNA decay pathway

Project description:mRNA level is controlled by factors that mediate both mRNA synthesis and decay, including the 5’ to 3’ exonuclease Xrn1 - a major mRNA synthesis and decay factor. Here we show that nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of several mRNA decay factors plays a key role in determining both mRNA synthesis and decay. Shuttling is regulated by RNA-controlled binding of the karyopherin Kap120 to two nuclear localization sequences (NLSs) in Xrn1, location of one of which is conserved from yeast to human. The decaying RNA binds and masks NLS1, establishing a link between mRNA decay and Xrn1 shuttling. Preventing Xrn1 import, either by deleting KAP120 or mutating the two Xrn1 NLSs, compromise transcription and, unexpectedly, also the cytoplasmic decay, uncovering a cytoplasmic decay pathway that initiates in the nucleus. Most mRNAs are degraded by both the “classical” and the novel pathways, the ratio between them represents a full spectrum. Importantly, Xrn1 shuttling is required for proper adaptation to environmental changes, in particular to ever changing environmental fluctuations.

Project description:To determine the effects of inactivation of both the nosense-mediated mRNA decay pathway and the general 5' to 3' decay pathway on yeast mRNA decay, we compared the expression profiles of the wild-type, xrn1, xrn1 upf1, xrn1 nmd2, and xrn1 upf3 strains.

3' UTR length and mRNP composition determine endocleavage efficiencies at termination codons

Project description:We aimed to study the cleavage sites of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) substrates. Therefore, we depleted the major exoribonuclease XRN1 in human cell culture, which degrades the 3' fragments generated by SMG6-mediated endonucleolytic cleavage. Different reporter mRNAs or endogenous NMD targets were investigated and the 3' fragments were cloned, amplified and subsequently subjected to high throughput sequencing.

Global analysis of mRNA decay intermediates in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:The general pathways of eukaryotic mRNA decay occur via deadenylation followed by 3’ to 5’ degradation or decapping, although some endonuclease sites have been identified in metazoan mRNAs. To determine the role of endonucleases in mRNA degradation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we mapped 5’ monophosphate ends on mRNAs in wild-type and dcp2∆ xrn1∆ yeast cells, wherein mRNA endonuclease cleavage products are stabilized. This led to three important observations. First, only few mRNAs that undergo low level endonucleotyic cleavage were observed suggesting that endonucleases are not a major contributor to yeast mRNA decay. Second, independent of known decapping enzymes, we observed low levels of 5’ monophosphates on some mRNAs suggesting that an unknown mechanism can generate 5' exposed ends, although for all substrates tested Dcp2 was the primary decapping enzyme. Finally, we identified debranched lariat intermediates from intron-containing genes, demonstrating a significant discard pathway for mRNAs during the second step of pre-mRNA splicing, which is a potential new step to regulate gene expression. 5' monophosphorylated ends of poly(A) RNA from wild-type and dcp2D xrn1D strains were identified in duplicates and triplicates, respectively.
