The microprotein Minion controls cell fusion and muscle formation.

Project description:Although recent evidence has pointed to the existence of small open reading frame (smORF)-encoded microproteins in mammals, their function remains to be determined. Skeletal muscle development requires fusion of mononuclear progenitors to form multinucleated myotubes, a critical but poorly understood process. Here we report the identification of Minion (microprotein inducer of fusion), a smORF encoding an essential skeletal muscle specific microprotein. Myogenic progenitors lacking Minion differentiate normally but fail to form syncytial myotubes, and Minion-deficient mice die perinatally and demonstrate a marked reduction in fused muscle fibres. The fusogenic activity of Minion is conserved in the human orthologue, and co-expression of Minion and the transmembrane protein Myomaker is sufficient to induce cellular fusion accompanied by rapid cytoskeletal rearrangement, even in non-muscle cells. These findings establish Minion as a novel microprotein required for muscle development, and define a two-component programme for the induction of mammalian cell fusion. Moreover, these data also significantly expand the known functions of smORF-encoded microproteins.

Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencing of multiplex PCR amplified, pathogen-spiked blood and plasma samples

Project description:To evaluate targeted MinION next generation sequencing as a diagnostic method for detection of pathogens in human blood and plasma, human blood or plasma samples were spiked with measured amounts of viruses, bacteria, protozoan parasites or tested pathogen-free as negative controls. Nucleic acid was extracted from samples and PCR amplification performed in multiplex primer pools with a procedure described in ArrayExpress experiment submission ID 18379. The PCR products were used for library preparation. The libraries sequenced on an Oxford Nanopore MinION. The passed reads aligned with a custom reference file to determine the identity of the pathogen in the sample.

Microprotein knockout in rescue cell lines and control conditions

Project description:RNA-seq sequencing was carried out to investigate which expression alterations were induced by treatment with sgRNAs targeting the sORFs/microproteins of interest. To test whether any of these changes could be reversed in the microprotein rescue-GFP fusion cells, transcriptional alterations of rescue and parental cells were compared.

hnRNPA is a novel regulator of a mitochondrial microprotein expression

Project description:Mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) are microproteins that are encoded by short open reading frames within the mitochondrial genome. Several MDPs have been identified in recent years; however, the transcriptional and translational regulation of MDPs remain poorly understood. Here we discovered an RNA binding protein of an MDP called humanin. By conducting RNA pull-down assays from mitochondrial extracts, we confidently pinpointed three humanin RNA binding partners that regulate translation: heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins A1 (hnRNPA1), hnRNPA2, and hnRNPA3. We also identified a novel post-translational modification in the form of succinylation in hnRNPA1 at lysine residue K-106. Succinylation of hnRNPA1 plays an important role in mitochondrial translocation and binding affinity of hnRNPA1 to humanin mRNA. Furthermore, hnRNPA1 and humanin are highly co-expressed in prostate cancer. We provide the first evidence of mRNA binding proteins modulating the expression of a mitochondrial microprotein. This study articulates important new roles of ribonucleoproteins in modulating microprotein expression in mitochondria.

Microprotein-Encoding RNA Regulation in Cells Treated with Pro-inflammatory and Pro-Fibrotic Stimuli (RNA-Seq Caco2)

Project description:Recent analysis of the human proteome via proteogenomics and ribosome profiling of the transcriptome revealed the existence of thousands of previously unannotated microprotein-coding small open reading frames (smORFs). Most functional microproteins were chosen for characterization because of their evolutionary conservation. However, one example of a non-conserved immunomodulatory microprotein in mice suggests that strict sequence conservation misses some intriguing microproteins. Here, we examine the ability of gene regulation to identify human microproteins with potential roles in inflammation or fibrosis of the intestine. To do this, we collected ribosome profiling data of intestinal cell lines and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and then used gene expression of microprotein-encoding transcripts to identify strongly regulated microproteins, including several examples of microproteins that are only conserved with primates. This approach reveals a number of new microproteins worthy of additional functional characterization, and provides a dataset that can be queried in different ways to find additional gut microproteins of interest.
