Biallelic mutations in the 3’ exonuclease TOE1 cause Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Type 7 and result in snRNA processing defects

ABSTRACT: Processing of RNA polymerase II-transcribed spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) initiates with cleavage by the Integrator complex, but the factors that subsequently remove 3’ end extensions from metazoan snRNAs have remained unknown. We studied human families with a unique recessive syndromic constellation of pontocerebellar atrophy with ambiguous genitalia, uncovering biallelic inactivating mutations in TOE1, which encodes a conserved unconventional deadenylase. TOE1 demonstrated tight association with snRNA-protein (snRNP) complexes with specificity for incompletely processed pre-snRNAs containing 3’ end extensions that often included post-transcriptionally added tails. Human cells deficient for TOE1 catalytic activity showed accumulation of 3’-end extended U1, U2, U4 and U5 pre-snRNAs, and TOE1 immuno-isolated from human cells was capable of processing 3’-end extended snRNPs in vitro. The missense mutations identified in patients impaired TOE1 stability and snRNA processing in patient cells, which was associated with defects in splicing. Our findings reveal the cause of a unique brain malformation and uncover a long-sought 3’ exonuclease required for snRNA processing.

The 3' exonuclease TOE1 selectively processes snRNAs through recognition of Sm complex assembly and 5’ cap trimethylation [global seq]

Project description:Competing exonucleases that promote 3’ end maturation or degradation direct quality control of small non-coding RNAs, but how these enzymes distinguish normal from aberrant RNAs is poorly understood. The Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia 7 (PCH7)-associated 3’ exonuclease TOE1 promotes maturation of canonical small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). Here, we demonstrate that TOE1 achieves specificity towards canonical snRNAs by recognizing Sm complex assembly and cap trimethylation, two features that distinguish snRNAs undergoing correct biogenesis from other small non-coding RNAs. Indeed, disruption of Sm complex assembly via snRNA mutations or protein depletions obstructs snRNA processing by TOE1, and in vitro snRNA processing by TOE1 is stimulated by a trimethylated cap. An unstable snRNA variant that normally fails to undergo maturation becomes fully processed by TOE1 when its degenerate Sm binding motif is converted into a canonical one. Our findings uncover the molecular basis for how TOE1 distinguishes snRNAs from other small non-coding RNAs and explain how TOE1 promotes maturation specifically of canonical snRNAs undergoing proper processing.

Competition between 3’ end maturation and degradation drives snRNA quality control

Project description:Polymerases and exonucleases act on 3’ ends of nascent RNAs to promote their maturation or degradation but how the balance between these activities is controlled to dictate the fates of cellular RNAs remains poorly understood. Here, we identify a central role for the human DEDD deadenylase TOE1 in distingushing the fates of small nuclear (sn)RNAs of the spliceosome from genome-encoded snRNA variants. We find that TOE1 promotes maturation of all regular RNA polymerase II-transcribed snRNAs of the major and minor spliceosomes by removing post-transcriptional oligo(A)-tails, trimming 3’ ends, and preventing nuclear exosome targeting. By contrast, TOE1 promotes little to no maturation of tested U1 variant snRNAs, which are instead targeted by the nuclear exosome. These observations suggest that TOE1 is positioned at the center of a 3’ end quality control pathway that selectively promotes maturation and stability of regular snRNAs while leaving snRNA variants unprocessed and exposed to degradation in what could be a widespread mechanism of RNA quality control given the large number of non-coding RNAs processed by DEDD deadenylases.

PARN and TOE1 constitute a 3′ end maturation module for nuclear non-coding RNAs

Project description:Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) and target of EGR1 protein 1 (TOE1) are nuclear granule-associated deadenylases, whose mutations are linked to multiple human diseases. Here, we applied mTAIL-seq and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to systematically identify the substrates of PARN and TOE1 and elucidate their molecular functions. We found that PARN and TOE1 do not modulate the length of mRNA poly(A) tails. Rather, they promote the maturation of nuclear small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). PARN and TOE1 act redundantly on some ncRNAs, most prominently small Cajal body-specific RNAs (scaRNAs). scaRNAs are strongly downregulated when PARN and TOE1 are compromised together, leading to defects in small nuclear RNA (snRNA) pseudouridylation. They also function redundantly in the biogenesis of telomerase RNA component (TERC), which shares sequence motifs found in H/ACA box scaRNAs. Our findings extend the knowledge of nuclear ncRNA biogenesis, and they provide insights into the pathology of PARN/TOE1-associated genetic disorders whose therapeutic treatments are currently unavailable.

Salt-stress and CTD phosphatase-like 4 mediate switching of snRNA to mRNA transcription in Arabidopsis thaliana [im-nc]

Project description:RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain (CTD) phosphorylation regulates transcription of both protein-coding mRNAs and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). However, understanding about CTD-phosphoregulation in plant ncRNA transcription is still obscure. Here we used Arabidopsis CTD phosphatase-like 4 knock-down lines (CPL4RNAi) and show that CPL4 functions in a genome-wide, conditional 3'-extensions of small nuclear RNA (snRNA) and biogenesis of novel snR-DPGs, which are protein-coding snRNA-mRNA fusion transcripts (snR-Downstream Protein-coding Gene). Production of snR-DPG is dependent on pol II snRNA promoter (PIIsnR), and CPL4RNAi promotes readthrough of snRNA 3’-end processing signal and pol II transcription downstream of snRNA. Also discovered was a novel unstable ncRNASSP14, which is driven by a PIIsnR and is conditionally 3'-extended to produce mRNA. In wild type, the snRNA-to-snR-DPG switching is induced by salt stress, and is associated with alteration of CTD phosphorylation status in the transcribing pol II complex. The snR-DPG transcripts occur widely in plants, suggesting that the transcriptional snRNA-to-snR-DPG switching is a previously unknown mechanism ubiquitous in plants to regulate gene expression in response to environmental stresses.
