A Novel role for GSK3B as a modulator of Drosha Microprocessor activity and microRNA biogenesis

ABSTRACT: Regulation of microRNA (miR) biogenesis is complex and stringently controlled. Here we identify the kinase GSK3B as an important modulator of global miR biogenesis at microprocessor level. Repression of GSK3B activity reduces Drosha activity towards pri-miRs, leading to accumulation of unprocessed pri-miRs and reduction of pre-miRs and mature miRs without altering levels or cellular localisationof miR biogenesisproteins. Conversly, GSK3B activation increases Drosha activityand mature miR accumulation. GSK3B achieves this through promoting Drosha:cofactor and Drosha:pri-miR interactions: it binds to DGCR8 and p72 in the Microprocessor, an effect dependent of RNA. Indeed GSK3B itself can immunoprecipitate pri-miRs, suggesting possible RNA binding capacity. Kinase assays identify the mechanism for GSK3B-enhansed Drosha activity, which requires GSK3B nuclear localisation, as phosphorylation of Drosha at s300 and/or s302 confirmed by enhanced Drosha activity and association with cofactors, and increased abundance of mature microRNAs in the presence of phospho-mimetic Drosha. Functional implicatons of GSK3B-enhanced miR biogenesis are illustrated by increased levels of GSK3B-upregulatd miR targets following GSK3B inhibition. These data, the first link GSK3B with the miR cascade in humans, hilight a novel pro-biogenesis role for GSK3B in increasing miR biogenesis as a component of the Microprocessor complex with wide ranging consiquences.

Structural basis for pre-miRNA-31 biogenesis

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that regulate protein gene expression post-transcriptionally. By base pairing with target mRNAs, miRNAs triggers mRNA degradation or translational suppression[1-4]. Abnormal miRNAs levels are associated with cancers, diabetes, neurological and other diseases[5-8]. RNA polymerase II transcribes primary miRNA (pri-miR) in the nucleus and pri-miRs are subsequently processed by Microprocessor, which is composed of Drosha and DiGeorge syndrome critical region 8 (DGCR8) proteins, to generate precursor miRNAs (pre-miRs). Pre-miRs are exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in a GTP-dependent manner by Exportin-5. In the cytoplasm, a pre-miRs are further processed by Dicer to generate 21-22 nt mature miRNA[4, 9]. Argonaute (Ago) protein loads one of mature miRNAs into protein and forms miRNA-induced silencing complex, which is responsible for mRNA degradation or translational suppression[2, 4].

MicroRNA-seq of cell lines expressing pri-miR-9 paralog constructs

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) biogenesis begins with Drosha cleavage, the fidelity of which is critical for downstream processing and mature miRNA target specificity. To understand how pri-miRNA sequence and structure influence Drosha cleavage, we studied the processing of three pri-miR-9 paralogs (pri-miR-9-1, pri-miR-9-2 and pri-miR-9-3), which encode the same miRNA but differ in the surrounding scaffold. We show that pri-miR-9-1 has a unique Drosha cleavage profile due to its kinked tertiary structure. Cleavage of pri-miR-9-1, but not pri-miR-9-2 or pri-miR-9-3, generates an alternative-miR-9 with a shifted seed sequence that expands the scope of its target RNAs. Here, we report the the miRNA-seq data of HEK293T and HeLa cell lines transfected with different pri-miR-9 constructs.

MicroRNA-seq of cell lines expressing pri-miR-9 paralog constructs II

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) biogenesis begins with Drosha cleavage, the fidelity of which is critical for downstream processing and mature miRNA target specificity. To understand how pri-miRNA sequence and structure influence Drosha cleavage, we studied the processing of pri-miR-9-1 sequence variants, which encode the same mature miRNA but differ in the surrounding scaffold. We show that, in addition to previously known features, the overall structural flexibility of pri-miRNA impacts Drosha cleavage fidelity. Internal loops and nearby G·U wobble pairs on the pri-miRNA stem induce the use of non-canonical cleavage sites by Drosha, resulting in 5’ isomiR production. Here, we report the the miRNA-seq data of HEK293T cell lines transfected with different pri-miR-9 constructs.

Single cut products of Microprocessor on pri-miRNAs

Project description:The human Microprocessor complex cleaves primary microRNA (miRNA) transcripts (pri-miRNAs) to initiate miRNA synthesis. Microprocessor consists of DROSHA (an RNase III enzyme), and DGCR8. DROSHA has two conserved RNase III domains, which make double cuts on each of pri-miRNA strands. In this study, we show that Microprocessor has an unexpected single-cut activity, which creates a single cut on just one of the pri-miRNA strands using one of the two RNase III domains of DROSHA. This cleavage does not lead to the production of miRNA but instead it downregulates miRNA expression. We also demonstrate that certain RNA elements facilitate the single-cut activity of Microprocessor, and by manipulating these elements, we can regulate the ratio of single-cut to double-cut activities, thus controlling miRNA production both in vitro and in vivo.

MicroRNA biogenesis is broadly disrupted by inhibition of the splicing factor SF3B1

Project description:In animals, microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis begins with cotranscriptional cleavage of the primary (pri-)miRNA by Microprocessor. Cotranscriptional splicing has been shown to influence Microprocessor cleavage for miRNAs hosted in introns of protein coding pri-miRNAs, but the impact of splicing on production of miRNAs hosted in long noncoding (lnc)RNAs is largely unknown. Here, we investigated the role of splicing in the biogenesis of miR-122, a lncRNA-hosted, highly expressed, medically important, liver-specific miRNA. We found that splicing inhibition by the SF3B1 inhibitor Pladienolide B (PlaB) led to strong and rapid reduction in transcription of endogenous, but not plasmid-encoded, pri-miR-122, resulting in reduced production of mature miR-122. To allow detection of rapid changes in miRNA biogenesis despite the high stability of mature miRNAs, we used SLAMseq to globally quantify the effects of short-term splicing inhibition on miRNA synthesis. We observed an overall decrease in biogenesis of mature miRNAs following PlaB treatment. Surprisingly, miRNAs derived from different genomic locations were similarly affected. Together, this study provides new insight into the emerging role for splicing in transcription, demonstrating novel biological importance in promotion of miR-122 biogenesis from a lncRNA, and shows that splicing is important for global miRNA biogenesis.

Differential roles of human PUS10 in miRNA processing and tRNA pseudouridylation

Project description:Pseudouridine synthases (PUSs) are responsible for the installation of pseudouridine (Ψ) modification in RNA. However, the activity and function of the PUS enzymes remain largely unexplored. Here we focus on human PUS10 and find that it co-expresses with the microprocessor (DROSHA–DGCR8 complex). Depletion of PUS10 results in a marked reduction of the expression level of a large number of mature miRNAs and concomitant accumulation of unprocessed primary microRNAs (pri-miRNAs) in multiple human cells. Mechanistically, PUS10 directly binds to pri-miRNAs and interacts with the microprocessor to promote miRNA biogenesis. Unexpectedly, this process is independent of the catalytic activity of PUS10. Additionally, we develop a sequencing method to profile Ψ in the tRNAome and report PUS10-dependent Ψ sites in tRNA. Collectively, our findings reveal differential functions of PUS10 in nuclear miRNA processing and in cytoplasmic tRNA pseudouridylation.

Microprocessor recruitment to elongating RNA Polymerase II is required for differential expression of microRNAs

Project description:The cellular abundance of mature microRNAs (miRNAs) is dictated by the efficiency of nuclear processing of primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs) into pre-miRNA intermediates. The Microprocessor complex of Drosha and DGCR8 carries this out, but it has been unclear what controls Microprocessor's differential processing of various pri-miRNAs. Here, we show that Drosophila DGCR8 (Pasha) directly associates with the C terminal domain of the RNA polymerase II elongation complex when it is phosphorylated by the Cdk9 kinase (pTEFb). When association is blocked by loss of Cdk9 activity, a global change in pri-miRNA processing is detected. Processing of pri-miRNAs with a UGU sequence motif in their apical junction domain increases, while processing of pri-miRNAs lacking this motif decreases. Therefore, phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II recruits Microprocessor for co-transcriptional processing of non-UGU pri-miRNAs that would otherwise be poorly processed. In contrast, UGU-positive pri-miRNAs are robustly processed by Microprocessor independent of RNA polymerase association.

RNA-Direct Regulation of pri-miRNA Processing by a Long Noncoding RNA Transcribed from an Ultraconserved Region

Project description:We investigate the role of a long ncRNA transcribed from an ultraconserved region (T-UCR) in the control of post-transcriptional pri-miRNA processing. The regulation is based on complementarity between the lower stem region in pri-miR-195 transcript and the ultraconserved sequence in Uc.283+A, which prevents pri-miRNA cleavage by Drosha. Mutation of the site in either RNA molecule uncouples regulation in vivo and in vitro. We propose a model in which lower-stem strand invasion by Uc.283+A impairs microprocessor recognition and efficient pri-miRNA cropping. In this work, we characterize a new role for Uc.283+A as a direct interactor and regulator of pri-miRNA-195 maturation at the level of Drosha processing. We combine cellular assays with in vitro biochemical analyses to reveal the first case of RNA-directed downregulation of miRNA biogenesis by a T-UCR
