The FUS protein participates in circRNA biogenesis

ABSTRACT: The RNA binding protein FUS exerts its function in several RNA biosynthetic processes; moreover, mutations leading to changes in its expression levels or alterations in cellular compartmentalization have been linked to the pathogenesis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Here, we describe an additional novel function of FUS, that is the control of back-splicing reactions which lead to circular RNA (circRNA) production. We identified circRNAs expressed in murine ES-derived motoneurons and then compared their levels in control versus FUS-/- cells. We discovered that a considerable number of circRNAs is affected by FUS levels.

Identification of FUS RNA targets in HeLa cells

Project description:We identified a landscape of FUS-binding RNA targets in HeLa cells. The majority of the FUS binding sites are in introns of pre-mRNAs and less are in exons and untranslated regions. Significant FUS binding in introns flanking cassette exons, long intron (>100kb) containing transcripts and noncoding RNAs were detected in our study. We specifically determined the function of FUS in regulating the alternative splicing of cassette exons. The top FUS-associated cassette exon is exon 7 of the pre-mRNA of FUS itself. We demonstrated that FUS is a repressor of its own exon 7 splicing. FUS autoregulates its own protein levels by exon 7 alternative splicing and nonsense mediated decay. Moreover, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) linked FUS mutants are deficient in FUS autoregulation. CLIP-seq of FUS in HeLa cells

FUS mutant human motoneurons transcriptome analysis reveals altered pathways and impairment of microRNA function

Project description:Mutations in the RNA-binding protein FUS have been genetically linked to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease caused by the death of motoneurons (MNs). FUS is a ubiquitous protein and the mechanisms leading to selective MN loss downstream of FUS mutations are still largely unknown. We report the first transcriptome analysis of human purified MNs, obtained from isogenic induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) with a FUS wild-type or mutant genetic background. Gene ontology analysis of differentially expressed genes identified significant enrichment of pathways previously associated to other neurological diseases and non-FUS ALS, suggesting a common pathological mechanism. We also found several microRNAs deregulated in FUS mutant MNs and focused on miR-375 and miR-125b. Notably, miR-125b is a neural-enriched microRNA with multiple functions in the nervous system and miR-375 had been previously associated to MN survival. We report that relevant targets of both microRNAs, including the neural RNA-binding protein ELAVL4 and apoptosis factors such as p53, are aberrantly increased in FUS mutant MNs. Characterization of FUS RNA targets in the cell type primarily affected by the disease contributes to the definition of the pathogenic mechanisms of FUS-linked ALS.

Identification of in vivo, conserved, FUS RNA binding sites and the impact of FUS on the neuronal transcriptome

Project description:FUS, an RNA binding protein was recently implicated in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative disease. We report the identification of the conserved neuronal RNA targets of FUS and the assessment of the impact of FUS depletion on the neuronal transcriptome. We identified that FUS regulates splicing of conserved intron containing transcripts. FUS retains or excludes the conserved intron by binding to them.

Proteomics analysis of FUS mutant human motoneurons reveals altered regulation of cytoskeleton and other ALS-linked proteins via 3’UTR binding

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) mutated RNA binding proteins acquire aberrant functions, leading to altered RNA metabolism with significant impact on encoded protein levels. Here, by taking advantage of a human induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (hiPSC)-based model, we aimed to gain insights on the impact of ALS mutant FUS on the motoneuron proteome. Label-free proteomics analysis by mass-spectrometry revealed upregulation of proteins involved in catabolic processes and oxidation-reduction, and downregulation of cytoskeletal proteins and factors directing neuron projection. Mechanistically, proteome alteration does not correlate with transcriptome changes. Rather, we observed a strong correlation with selective binding of mutant FUS to target mRNAs in their 3’UTR. Novel validated targets, selectively bound by mutant FUS only, include genes previously involved in familial or sporadic ALS, such as VCP, and regulators of membrane trafficking and cytoskeleton remodeling, such as ASAP1. These findings unveil a novel mechanism by which mutant FUS might intersect other pathogenic pathways in ALS patients’ motoneurons.

Mutant FUS triggers age-dependent synaptic impairment in presymptomatic ALS-FUS mice (CLIP-seq)

Project description:FUS is a primarily nuclear RNA-binding protein with important roles in RNA processing and transport. FUS mutations disrupting its nuclear localization characterize a subset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS-FUS) patients, through an unidentified pathological mechanism. FUS regulates nuclear RNA, but its role at the synapse is poorly understood. Here, we used super-resolution imaging to determine the physiological localization of extranuclear, neuronal FUS and found it predominantly near the vesicle reserve pool of presynaptic sites. Using CLIP-seq on synaptoneurosome preparations, we identified synaptic RNA targets of FUS that are associated with synapse organization and plasticity. Synaptic FUS was significantly increased in a knock-in mouse model of ALS-FUS, at presymptomatic stages. Despite apparently unaltered synaptic organization, RNA-seq of synaptoneurosomes highlighted age-dependent dysregulation of glutamatergic and GABAergic synapses. Our study indicates that FUS relocalization to the synapse in early stages of ALS-FUS results in synaptic impairment, potentially representing an initial trigger of neurodegeneration.
