Global analysis of AGO2-bound RNAs in teratoma-derived fibroblasts

ABSTRACT: Among the four Argonaute family members in mammals, only AGO2 protein retains endonuclease activity, and facilitates cleavage of target RNAs base-pairing with highly complementary guide RNAs. Despite the deeply conserved catalytic activity, only a small number of targets have been reported to extensively base pair with cognate miRNAs to be cleaved by AGO2. Here, we analyzed AGO2-bound RNAs by CrossLinking ImmunoPrecipitation (CLIP) of genetically modified cells that express epitope-tagged AGO2 from the native genomic locus. We found that HMGA2 mRNA is cleaved by AGO2 loaded with let-7 and miR-21. In contrast to the generally accepted notion, the base-pairing from the seed region to the cleavage site, rather than perfect or near perfect complementarity, was required for cleavage of the target mRNA in cells. Non-templated addition of nucleotides at the 3’ end of the cleaved RNA was observed, further supporting the AGO2-mediated cleavage. Based on the observation that the limited complementarity is the minimum requirement for cleavage, we found that AGO2-mediated cleavage of targets is more common than previously thought. Our result may explain the vital role of endonuclease activity in controlling miRNA-mediated gene regulation.

Diverse endonucleolytic cleavage sites in the mammalian transcriptome depend upon microRNAs, Drosha, and additional nucleases

Project description:Messenger RNAs are regulated by a variety of degradation mechanisms in mammalian cells. In the canonical animal microRNA pathway, microRNAs in complex with Argonaute proteins bind to many mRNA targets with imperfect complementarity, leading to degradation of the mRNA through the regular decay machinery. The ancestral “slicer” endonuclease activity of Argonaute2 itself, which requires more extensive complementarity with the target RNA, is not used in this pathway, and has only been observed in two microRNA-guided cases. Nevertheless, the cleavage capacity of mammalian Ago2 is conserved and essential for viability. Here, we assess the endonucleolytic function of Ago2 and other nucleases by identifying cleavage products retaining 5`-phosphate groups in mouse ES cells on a transcriptome-wide scale. We detect a significant signature of Ago2-dependent cleavage events and validate several targets. Unexpectedly, a broader class of Ago2-independent cleavage sites is also observed, indicating participation of additional nucleases in this mode of mRNA regulation. Within this class, we identify a cohort of Drosha-dependent mRNA cleavage events, including one in the Dgcr8 mRNA, that functionally regulate mRNA levels in mES cells. Together, these results highlight the underappreciated role of endonucleolytic cleavage in controlling mRNA fates in mammals.

In vivo PIWI slicing in mouse testes deviates from rules established in vitro

Project description:Purified endogenous mouse MIWI fails to cleave mismatched targets in vitro. Surprisingly, here we find using knock-in mouse models that piRNA target sites with cleavage-site mismatches are precisely sliced in vivo. This is identical to the slicing outcome in knock-in mice where targets are identified by perfect complementarity base-pairing with the piRNA. Additionally, we find that such pachytene piRNA-guided MIWI/MILI slicing in vivo failed to initiate phased piRNA production from the specific target mRNA we studied. Instead, the two slicer cleavage fragments were retained in PIWI proteins as a pre-piRNA and 17-19 nt by-product fragments. Our results indicate that PIWI slicing rules established in vitro are not respected in vivo, and that all targets of PIWI slicing are not substrates for piRNA biogenesis.

Systematic design and functional analysis of artificial microRNAs as an approach for multi-gene targeting

Project description:Unlike short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), which are commonly designed to repress a single messenger RNA (mRNA) target through perfect base pairing, microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs that have evolved to concurrently repress multiple mRNA targets through imperfect complementarity. MicroRNA target recognition is primarily determined by pairing of the miRNA seed sequence (nucleotides 2–8) to complementary match sites in each mRNA target. Whereas siRNA technology is well established for single target knockdown, the design of artificial miRNAs for multi-target repression is largely unexplored. We designed and functionally analysed over 200 artificial miRNAs for simultaneous repression of pyruvate carboxylase and glutaminase by selecting all seed matches shared by their 3′ untranslated regions. Although we identified multiple miRNAs that repressed endogenous protein expression of both genes, seed-based artificial miRNA design was highly inefficient, as the majority of miRNAs with even perfect seed matches did not repress either target. Moreover, commonly used target prediction programs did not substantially discriminate effective artificial miRNAs from ineffective ones, indicating that current algorithms do not fully capture the features important for artificial miRNA targeting and are not yet sufficient for designing artificial miRNAs. Our analysis suggests that additional factors are strong determinants of the efficacy of miRNA-mediated target repression and remain to be discovered.

Identifying cleaved and noncleaved targets of small interfering RNAs and microRNAs in mammalian cells by SpyCLIP

Project description:we report a strategy to establish a comprehensive picture of siRNA cleaved and noncleaved off-targets by performing SpyCLIP using wild-type and catalytically inactive AGO2 mutants in parallel. Additionally, we investigated naturally occurring cleavage events mediated by endogenous miRNAs using the same strategy. Our results demonstrated that AGO2 SpyCLIP is a powerful method to identify both cleaved and noncleaved targets of siRNAs, providing valuable information for improving siRNA design rules

miRNAs associated with the different human Argonaute proteins

Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that function in literally all cellular processes. miRNAs interact with Argonaute (Ago) proteins and guide them to specific target sites located in the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of target mRNAs leading to translational repression and deadenylation-induced mRNA degradation. Most miRNAs are processed from hairpin-structured precursors by the consecutive action of the RNase III enzymes Drosha and Dicer. However, processing of miR-451 is Dicer-independent and cleavage is mediated by the endonuclease Ago2. Here we have characterized miR-451 sequence and structure requirements for processing as well as sorting of miRNAs into different Ago proteins. Pre-miR-451 appears to be optimized for Ago2 cleavage and changes result in reduced processing. In addition, we show that the mature miR-451 only associates with Ago2 suggesting that mature miRNAs are not exchanged between different members of the Ago protein family. Based on cloning and deep sequencing of endogenous miRNAs associated with Ago1-3, we do not find evidence for miRNA sorting in human cells. However, Ago identity appears to influence the length of some miRNAs, while others remain unaffected. Examination of miRNAs associated with endogenous human Ago1-4 in HeLa cells

Global identification of target recognition and cleavage by the Microprocessor in human ESCs.

Project description:The Microprocessor plays an essential role in canonical miRNA biogenesis by facilitating cleavage of stem-loop structures in primary transcripts to yield pre-miRNAs. Although miRNA biogenesis has been extensively studied through biochemical and molecular genetic approaches, it has yet to be addressed to what extent the current miRNA biogenesis models hold true in intact cells. To address the issues of in vivo recognition and cleavage by the Microprocessor, we investigate RNAs that are associated with DGCR8 and Drosha by using immunoprecipitation coupled with next-generation sequencing. Here, we present global protein-RNA interactions with unprecedented sensitivity and specificity. Our data indicate that precursors of canonical miRNAs and miRNA-like hairpins are the major substrates of the Microprocessor. As a result of specific enrichment of nascent cleavage products, we are able to pinpoint the Microprocessor-mediated cleavage sites per se at single-nucleotide resolution. Unexpectedly, a 2-nt 3M-bM-^@M-^Y overhang invariably exists at the ends of cleaved bases instead of nascent pre-miRNAs. Besides canonical miRNA precursors, we find that two novel miRNA-like structures embedded in mRNAs are cleaved to yield pre-miRNA-like hairpins, uncoupled from miRNA maturation. Our data provide a framework for in vivo Microprocessor-mediated cleavage and a foundation for experimental and computational studies on miRNA biogenesis in living cells.

Endogenous siRNA and miRNA targets identified by sequencing of the Arabidopsis degradome

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate the expression of target mRNAs in plants and animals. Plant miRNA targets have been predicted based on their extensive and often conserved complementarity to the miRNAs, as well as from miRNA over-expression experiments; many of these target predictions have been confirmed by isolating the products of miRNA-directed cleavage. Here, we present a transcriptome-wide experimental method, called “degradome sequencing,” to directly detect cleaved miRNA targets without relying on predictions or over-expression. The 5' ends of poly-adenylated, uncapped mRNAs from Arabidopsis were directly sampled resulting in an empirical snapshot of the degradome. miRNA-mediated cleavage products were easily discerned from an extensive background of degraded mRNAs, which collectively covered the majority of the annotated transcriptome. Many previously known Arabidopsis miRNA targets were confirmed and several novel targets were also discovered. Quantification of cleavage fragments revealed that those derived from TAS transcripts, which are unusual in their production of abundant secondary siRNAs, accumulated to very high levels. A subset of secondary siRNAs are also known to direct cleavage of targets in trans; degradome sequencing revealed many cleaved targets of these trans-acting siRNAs (tasiRNAs). This empirical method is broadly applicable to discover and quantify cleaved targets of small RNAs without a priori predictions. Keywords: Degradome sequencing

Characterisation of the AGO2 binding sites in HeLa cell line using eiCLIP

Project description:Here we investigate the RNA-binding protein AGO2 in HeLa by using a combination of AGO2 enhanced individual nucleotide resolution UV crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (eiCLIP). We find that 5’ capped RNAs derived from 3’UTRs likely originate from AGO2-mediated cleavage, and most often occur at locations with potential to form G-quadruplexes.
