Small RNA interactome revealed through crosslinking of the degradosome

ABSTRACT: UV-crosslining of protein-RNA complexes was employed to capture sRNA-mRNA interactions occuring on the RNA degradosome protein, RNase E, in enterohaemorhaggic E. coli. Abstract from associated mansucript: In many organisms small regulatory RNAs (sRNA) play important roles in the regulation of gene expression by base-pairing to specific target mRNAs. In enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), sRNAs are encoded by both the “core” genome and in numerous horizontally acquired pathogenicity islands. To identify functionally important sRNA-target RNA interactions we applied crosslinking and sequencing of hybrids (CLASH) to the core degradosome component RNase E in EHEC. RNase E was shown to bind to many classes of RNA, confirming the wide distribution of degradosome targets. These included several hundred sRNA-mRNA duplexes, and the distribution of non-templated oligo(A) tails indicated that the sRNA target RNase E-mediated cleavage at these interaction sites. Functional repression of target mRNAs was confirmed for the core sRNA RyhB, and the pathogenicity-associated sRNA Esr41. In the case of Esr41, three confirmed target mRNAs participate in iron accumulation and the ∆esr41 strain showed increased growth under conditions of iron limitation. We conclude that CLASH can be used to identify functional targets for bacterial sRNAs.

A natively unstructured RNA/protein-recognition core in the E. coli RNA degradosome facilitates riboregulation

Project description:The RNA degradosome is a multi-enzyme assembly that plays a central role in the RNA metabolism of Escherichia coli and numerous other bacterial species including pathogens. The core of the assembly is provided by the endoribonuclease RNase E, one of the largest E. coli proteins. The C-terminal half of RNase E is predicted to be predominantly unstructured and is punctuated with conserved short linear motifs that recruit partner proteins, direct RNA interactions, and enable association with the cytoplasmic membrane. We demonstrate that a subassembly of the degradosome - comprising a 248-residue segment of the C-terminal part of RNase E, the DEAD-box helicase RhlB, and the glycolytic enzyme enolase - serves as a flexible recognition centre that can co-recruit small regulatory RNA (sRNA) molecules and the RNA chaperone Hfq into an effector complex. The association of enolase with the degradosome impacts on carbon utilisation pathways under changing metabolic conditions, most likely by facilitating recruitment and the activity of sRNAs. Our results support a model in which the degradosome captures substrates and regulatory RNAs through the recognition core, facilitates pairing to cognate transcripts, and presents the target to the ribonuclease active sites of the greater assembly for cooperative degradation or processing.

RNase III CLASH uncovers sRNA regulatory networks coupling metabolism to production of cytolytic toxins in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Project description:Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an infectious pathogen that poses a significant threat to human health. MRSA is renowned for its ability to adapt to and even thrive in hostile environment within its host. By expressing a battery of virulence factors and toxins, MRSA is able to scavenge effectively essential nutrients and evade the immune system within the host. Post-transcriptional regulation by sRNAs contributes significantly to regulating the expression of virulence factors and toxins. However, the roles of the vast majority of sRNAs during host adaptation remain unknown. To challenge this gap, we performed UV cross-linking, ligation and sequencing of hybrids (CLASH) in S. aureus to unravel sRNA-RNA interactions with the double stranded ribonuclease III (RNase III) as a bait under conditions that mimic the host environment. Here we report a global analysis of RNA-RNA interactions in MRSA in vivo, which uncovered hundreds of novel sRNA-RNA pairs. Strikingly, our results indicate that the production of small membrane-permeabilizing toxins is under extensive sRNA-mediated regulation and that their expression is intimately connected to metabolism. We show that at least two sRNAs, RNAIII and RsaE, enhance the production of five clinically relevant cytolytic toxins that are important for survival within the host. Taken together, our data greatly expands the repertoire of sRNA-target interactions in S. aureus and provide detail on how these contribute to adjusting virulence in response to changes in metabolism.

The functional small RNA interactome reveals targets for the vancomycin-responsive sRNA RsaOI in vancomycin tolerant Staphylococcus aureu

Project description:Vancomycin tolerance in multidrug resistance Staphylococcus aureus is correlated with dysregulation of small RNAs although their contribution to antibiotic tolerance in poorly understood. RNA-RNA interactome profiling techniques are expanding our understanding of sRNA-mRNA interactions in bacteria; however, determining the function of these interactions for hundreds of sRNA-mRNA pairs is a major challenge. At steady-state, protein and mRNA abundances are often highly correlated and lower than expected protein abundance may indicate translational repression of an mRNA. We used label-free quantitative proteomics to examine changes in protein expression in vancomycin tolerant S. aureus strain in response to vancomycin treatment. We correlated the protein levels with gene transcript abundance and ribosome occupancy to identify sRNA-mRNA interactions that regulate mRNA translation. We used the machine learning technique self-organising maps (SOMS) to cluster genes with similar transcription and translation patterns and identified a cluster of mRNAs that appeared to be post-transcriptionally repressed. By integrating our clustering analysis with the sRNA-mRNA interactome data generated in vancomycin tolerant S. aureus by RNase III-CLASH, we identified a cluster of sRNAs that may be mediating translational repression. We have confirmed sRNA-dependant post-transcriptional repression of several mRNAs in this cluster. Two of these interactions are mediated by RsaOI, a sRNA that is highly upregulated by vancomycin, and these targets include HPr and the cell-wall autolysin Atl, with only Atl downregulated at the protein level upon vancomycin treatment. These findings suggest RsaOI coordinates carbon metabolism and cell wall turnover during vancomycin treatment

Coding sequence targeting by MicC RNA reveals bacterial mRNA silencing downstream of translational initiation

Project description:It is well established that small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) of bacteria recognize the 5’ regions of target mRNAs, generally at the ribosome binding site. Until now, the translated coding sequence (CDS) of mRNA appeared to be refractory to sRNA interactions. We have discovered that Salmonella MicC RNA silences ompD mRNA by targeting the CDS, at codons 23-26. Analyses of MicC-ompD RNA complexes in vitro, and of chimeric sRNAs and ompD reporter fusions in vivo, show that interactions are confined to the CDS, and that a ≤12 bp RNA duplex involving the conserved 5’ end of MicC is essential and sufficient for target repression. MicC cannot act as a translational repressor at this downstream position being unable to inhibit 30S or 70S ribosome activity on the ompD mRNA. Instead, MicC accelerates RNase E-dependent ompD mRNA decay. The degradosome contributes to target destabilization, and facilitates the efficient degradation of processed ompD mRNA. Our data show that bacterial gene silencing by sRNAs can take place downstream of the translational initiation site by triggering irreversible mRNA decay. This ability of sRNAs allows targets in the CDS to be silenced without interference from the strong RNA helicase activity of elongating ribosomes.

Our data show that bacterial gene silencing by sRNAs can take place downstream of the translational initiation site by triggering irreversible mRNA decay. This ability of sRNAs allows targets in the CDS to be silenced without interference from the strong RNA helicase activity of elongating ribosomes. To determine the targets of the small regulatory RNA MicC in S. Typhimurium, we looked at the effect of a short pulse of MicC over-expression on the Salmonella transcriptome. To achieve over-expression, the micC gene was cloned in the pBAD plasmid and induced with 0.2% L-arabinose for 10 min. We then extracted the total RNA for transcriptional profiling. A strain carrying the pBAD plasmid w/o insert was used as negative control. 3 biological replicates were performed. This sRNA target identification strategy has been described in Papenfort et al; Molecular Microbiology (2006) 62(6), 1674â??1688.

RNA-Seq samples of E. coli K12 MG1655, deletion of gcvB sRNA gene, temperature mutation in RNAse E.

Project description:Small RNAs (sRNAs) are major regulators of gene expression in bacteria. Traditionally, sRNAs were considered mainly as regulators of translation, exerting their regulatory function by base pairing with their target mRNAs, and through this, blocking or exposing the ribosome binding site. However, accumulating evidence suggest that sRNAs not only regulate translation, but also affect the transcript stability by assisting or interfering with endoribonuclesaes. While cooperation of sRNAs with endoribonuclesaes was demonstrated for a few genes, its extent in the bacterial cell was not assessed in large scale. Here, we take advantage of large-scale RNA- seq-based approaches to study the extent of cooperation between sRNAs with the major endoribonuclease in Escherichia coli, RNase E. As a model sRNA, we use the well-known sRNA GcvB, a sRNA that regulates genes involved in amino acid metabolism and transport. To study the cooperation between GcvB and RNase E we apply the mutant cycle approach to four strains of E. coli: wt; GcvB mutant/RNase E wt; GcvB wt/RNase E mutant; GcvB mutant/RNase E mutant. By applying RNA-seq and differential gene expression analysis, we infer different modes of cooperation between RNase E and GcvB, and show that a statistically significant number of GcvB targets are downregulated by cooperation between the two regulators. Furthermore, using the TIER-seq approach to map RNase E cleavage sites transcriptome-wide and analysing them in view of GcvB binding sites, we attempt to infer the mechanisms of cooperation between the two regulators.

Hfq CLASH uncovers sRNA-target interaction networks linked to nutrient availability adaptation [CLASH]

Project description:By shaping gene expression profiles, small RNAs (sRNAs) enable bacteria to efficiently adapt to changes in their environment. To better understand how Escherichia coli acclimatizes to nutrient availability, we performed UV cross-linking, ligation and sequencing of hybrids (CLASH) to uncover Hfq-associated RNA-RNA interactions at specific growth stages. We demonstrate that Hfq CLASH robustly captures bona fide RNA-RNA interactions identified hundreds of novel sRNA base-pairing interactions, including many sRNA-sRNA interactions and involving 3’UTR-derived sRNAs. We rediscovered known and identified novel sRNA seed sequences. The sRNA-mRNA interactions identified by CLASH have strong base-pairing potential and are highly enriched for complementary sequence motifs, even those supported by only a few reads. Yet, steady state levels of most mRNA targets were not significantly affected upon over-expression of the sRNA regulator. Our results reinforce the idea that the reproducibility of the interaction, not base-pairing potential, is a stronger predictor for a regulatory outcome.

Neisseria meningitides small RNA's regulate Citric acid cycle activity under Feast and Famine conditions

Project description:We identified twin small non-coding RNAs regulating tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity in Neisseria meningitidis. Expression of TCA cycle enzymes was elevated in sRNA deletion mutants. Direct interaction between sRNAs and the ribosomal entry sites on target mRNAs was demonstrated. Expression of the sRNAs was down-regulated in cells grown in poor medium with glucose as the sole carbon source but not without lrp, indicating that sRNA expression is controlled by the stringent response. N. meningitidis, over-expressing the sRNAs replicated in blood, but not in human cerebrospinal fluid. In addition, Lrp synthesis was inhibited by direct interaction between the sRNA and the 5’ UTR of lrp. sRNAs control adaptation of N. meningitidis to variation in nutrient supply in different niches of its host.

The target spectrum of SdsR small RNA in Salmonella

Project description:Enteric model bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica express hundreds of small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs), targets for most of which are yet unknown. Some of these sRNAs are remarkably well-conserved, indicating that that they serve cellular functions that go beyond the necessities of a single organism. One of these “core sRNA” of largely unknown functions is the abundant ~100-nucleotide SdsR sRNA which accumulates in stationary phase after transcription by the general stress σ-factor, σS. In Salmonella, SdsR was known to inhibit the synthesis of the species-specific porin, OmpD. However, the sdsR gene is present in almost all enterobacterial genomes, suggesting additional, more conserved targets of this sRNA must exist. Here, we have combined SdsR pulse-expression with whole genome transcriptomics to discover 18 previously unknown targets of SdsR. These new targets include mRNAs coding for physiologically important regulators such as the carbon regulator, Crp, the nucleoid-associated chaperone, StpA and the antibiotic resistance transporter, TolC. SdsR is processed by RNase E giving rise to two independent SdsR variants with distinct target spectra. While the overall physiological role of this orphan core sRNA remains to be fully understood, the here presented catalog of new SdsR targets contains valuable leads to understand sRNA functions in resting bacteria.
