A novel requirement for Drosha in maintenance of mammalian CG methylation

ABSTRACT: Using a protein interaction screen, we identify the Microprocessor component Drosha as a novel Dnmt1-interactor. Drosha-deficient ES cells display genomic hypomethylation which is not accounted for by changes in the levels of Dnmt proteins. Both genetic and transfection studies show that Drosha stimulates Dnmt1 methyltransferase activity. We identify two transcripts that are specifically upregulated in Drosha but not Dicer-deficient ES cells. Regions within these transcripts predicted to form stem-loop structures are processed by Microprocessor and can inhibit DNMT1-mediated methylation in vitro. Our results highlight Drosha as a novel regulator of mammalian DNA methylation and we propose that Drosha-mediated processing of RNA is necessary to ensure full Dnmt1 activity. This adds to the Drosha repertoire of non-miRNA dependent functions as well as implicating RNA in regulating Dnmt1 activity and correct levels of genomic methylation.

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

Project description: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.

SAFB regulates hippocampal stem cell fate by targeting Drosha to destabilize Nfib mRNA

Project description:Neural stem cell regulation is essential for the formation of the central nervous system and homeostatic neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain. The RNAseIII Drosha, a key component of the miRNA microprocessor, plays a central role in regulating NSC maintenance partially through a miRNA-independent mechanism. Drosha controls mRNA expression levels by targeting and cleaving evolutionary conserved stem-loop hairpins located in the mRNAs of stem cell-related transcription factors. However, it is unknown how the Drosha-mediated endonucleolytic cleavage of mRNA is regulated. Here, we identify novel Drosha and NFIB interactors in hippocampal NSCs by in vitro pull-down assays followed by Mass Spectrometry. We unravel the RNA binding proteins implicated in Drosha-mediated regulation of neurogenesis and we find Scaffold Attachment Factor B1 to play a novel and essential role in NFIB mRNA regulation during neural stem cell differentiation.

Essential role of the amino-terminal region of Drosha for the Microprocessor function

Project description:To investigate the role of amino terminal region (NTR) of Drosha in microprocessor function, we generated amino terminus lacking Drosha (∆N-Drosha) HEK293T cell line by CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. We then performed miRNA expression profile analysis using data obtained from miRNA-seq of WT-Drosha and ∆N-Drosha containing HEK293T cells.

A novel requirement for DROSHA in maintenance of mammalian CG methylation.

Project description:In mammals, faithful inheritance of genomic methylation patterns ensures proper gene regulation and cell behaviour, impacting normal development and fertility. Following establishment, genomic methylation patterns are transmitted through S-phase by the maintenance methyltransferase Dnmt1. Using a protein interaction screen, we identify Microprocessor component DROSHA as a novel DNMT1-interactor. Drosha-deficient embryonic stem (ES) cells display genomic hypomethylation that is not accounted for by changes in the levels of DNMT proteins. DNMT1-mediated methyltransferase activity is also reduced in these cells. We identify two transcripts that are specifically upregulated in Drosha- but not Dicer-deficient ES cells. Regions within these transcripts predicted to form stem-loop structures are processed by Microprocessor and can inhibit DNMT1-mediated methylation in vitro. Our results highlight DROSHA as a novel regulator of mammalian DNA methylation and we propose that DROSHA-mediated processing of RNA is necessary to ensure full DNMT1 activity. This adds to the DROSHA repertoire of non-miRNA dependent functions as well as implicating RNA in regulating DNMT1 activity and correct levels of genomic methylation.

Expression profile of control, Drosha or Dicer deleted LSKs

Project description:To determine genes regulated independently of microRNAs in early haematopoietic progenitors (LSKs) we compared the expression profiles of Drosha or Dicer deficient LSKs and control. Those genes differentially expressed between Drosha or Dicer deficient LSKs are likely regulated indepedently of microRNAs as either Drosha or Dicer deletion will lead to a complete and equivalent loss of microRNAs. LSKs were sorted from control, Drosha fl/fl of Dicer fl/fl mice.These cells were activated in vitro for 72 hours to induce total and equivalent deletion of Drosha or Dicer. RNA was extracted after 72 hours.3 repeats of the three groups were analyzed.

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.

PRMT1-mediated methylation of the Large Drosha Complex regulates microRNA biogenesis

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) biogenesis is a tightly controlled multi-step process operated in the nucleus by the activity of the Large Drosha Complex (LDC). Through high resolution mass spectrometry (MS) analysis we discovered that the LDC is extensively methylated, with 82 distinct methylated sites associated to 16 out of 23 subunits of the LDC. The majority of these modifications occurs on arginine (R)- residues (61), leading to 86 methylation events, while 29 lysine (K)-methylation events occurs on 21 sites of the complex. Interestingly, the depletion and pharmacological inhibition of PRMT1 lead to a widespread alteration of the methylation state of the complex and induce global decrease of miRNA expression, as a consequence of the specific impairment of the pri-to-pre-miRNA processing step. In particular, we show that the reduced methylation of the ILF3 subunit of the complex is linked to its diminished binding to the target pri-miRNAs. Overall, our study uncovers a previously uncharacterized role of R-methylation in the regulation of the LDC activity in mammalian cells, thus effecting global miRNA levels.

Mutations in the SIX1/2 pathway and the DROSHA/DGCR8 miRNA microprocessor complex underlie high-risk blastemal type Wilms tumors

Project description:Blastemal histology in chemotherapy-treated pediatric Wilms tumors (nephroblastoma) is associated with adverse prognosis. To uncover the underlying tumor biology and find novel therapeutic leads for this subgroup of patients, we analyzed 58 blastemal-type Wilms tumors by exome and transcriptome sequencing and validated our findings in a large independent replication cohort. Recurrent mutations identified either somatically or in the germline included a hotspot mutation (Q177R) in the homeodomain of SIX1 and SIX2 in tumors with high proliferative potential, mutations in microprocessor genes like DROSHA, DGCR8, DICER1 and DIS3L2, and alterations in IGF2, MYCN, and TP53, the latter being strongly associated with dismal outcome. DROSHA and DGCR8 mutations had a strong effect on miRNA expression patterns in tumors, which was functionally validated in cell lines transfected with mutant DROSHA. total samples analyzed are 16, each done as technical replicate
