RNA self-assembly contributes to stress granule formation and defining the stress granule transcriptome

ABSTRACT: Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules are non-membrane bound organelles thought to assemble by protein-protein interactions of RNA-binding proteins. We present evidence that a wide variety of RNAs self-assemble in vitro into either liquid-liquid phase separations or more stable assembles, referred to as RNA tangles. Self-assembly in vitro is affected by RNA length, ionic conditions, and sequence. Remarkably, self-assembly of yeast RNA in vitro under physiological salt mimics the composition of mRNAs within yeast stress granules. This suggests that the biophysical principles that drive RNA self-assembly in vitro contribute to determining the stress granule transcriptome. Consistent with RNA self-assembly contributing to RNP granule formation, an excess of purified RNA injected into C. elegans syncytium coalesces into droplet-like assemblies. We suggest that diverse RNA-RNA interactions in trans contribute to RNP granule formation and may explain the prevalence of large RNA-protein assemblies in eukaryotic cells.

Dynamic FMR1 granule phase switch instructed by m6A modification contributes to maternal RNA decay

Project description:Maternal RNA degradation is critical for embryogenesis and is tightly controlled by maternal RNA-binding proteins. Fragile X mental-retardation protein (FMR1) binds target mRNAs to form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes/granules that control various biological processes, including early embryogenesis. However, how FMR1 recognizes target mRNAs and how FMR1-RNP granule assembly/disassembly regulates FMR1-associated mRNAs remain elusive. Here we show that Drosophila FMR1 preferentially binds mRNAs containing m6A-marked “AGACU” motif with high affinity to contributes to maternal RNA degradation. The high-affinity binding largely depends on a hydrophobic network within FMR1 KH2 domain. Importantly, this binding greatly induces FMR1 granule condensation to efficiently recruit unmodified mRNAs. The degradation of maternal mRNAs then causes granule de-condensation, allowing normal embryogenesis. Our findings reveal that sequence-specific mRNAs instruct FMR1-RNP granules to undergo a dynamic phase-switch, thus contributes to maternal mRNA decay. This mechanism may represent a general principle that regulated RNP-granules control RNA processing and normal development.

HeberleRazquinNavas2019 - The PI3K and MAPK/p38 pathways control stress granuleassembly in a hierarchical manner model 3

Project description:All cells and organisms exhibit stress-coping mechanisms toensure survival. Cytoplasmic protein-RNA assemblies termedstress granules are increasingly recognized to promote cellularsurvival under stress. Thus, they might represent tumor vul-nerabilities that are currently poorly explored. The translation-inhibitory eIF2αkinases are established as main drivers ofstress granule assembly. Using a systems approach, we identifythe translation enhancers PI3K and MAPK/p38 as pro-stress-granule-kinases. They act through the metabolic master regu-lator mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) topromote stress granule assembly. When highly active, PI3K is themain driver of stress granules; however, the impact of p38becomes apparent as PI3K activity declines. PI3K and p38 thusact in a hierarchical manner to drive mTORC1 activity and stressgranule assembly. Of note, this signaling hierarchy is also presentin human breast cancer tissue. Importantly, only the recognition ofthe PI3K-p38 hierarchy under stress enabled the discovery of p38’srole in stress granule formation. In summary, we assign a new pro-survival function to the key oncogenic kinases PI3K and p38, as theyhierarchically promote stress granule formation

The Prion Protein (PrP) is involved in translation via RNA granule-like mRNPs, a connection which is impaired during neurodegenerative diseases

Project description:Cytoplasmic RNA granules have emerged as important elements of posttranscriptional and translational regulation. Stress, germinal and neuronal granules contain RNA-binding proteins capable of self-assembly due to prion-like domains. Hyperassembly mediated by these prion-like domains causes several neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we report a subset of the mammalian prion protein (PrP), also prone to self-assembly, propagation and to cause devastating diseases, is a component of naturally occurring messenger ribonucleoproteins (mRNPs) in adult mouse brains. Biomolecules co-purified with PrP revealed a multitude of diverse RNA granule associated proteins and mRNAs encoding members of the translation machinery, indicating a role in a specialized translation process. Importantly, PrP mutations linked to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) or fatal familial insomnia (FFI) severely impaired recovery of mRNPs from preclinical mice, possibly representing a very early pathological process. Thus, mutant PrP may cause dysfunction in RNA regulation, thereby joining the constantly expanding ranks of disease associated RNP granule proteins. The file Enrichment_analysis.xlsx contains mRNAs (FDR < 0.01) co-purified with PrP in both WT sample pools as identified by DESeq2 and the respective gene counts and log2 fold changes for CJD and FFI PrP:IP sample pools.

Identification of the stress granule transcriptome via RNA-editing in bulk S2 cells, single S2 cells and in Drosophila neurons

Project description:Stress granules are phase separated assemblies formed around mRNAs that have now been identified after stress granule purification from cell culture. Here, we present a purification free method to detect stress granules RNAs in single cells and in tissues, including those displaying cell heterogeneity. We adapted TRIBE (Target of RNA-binding proteins Identified by Editing) to detect stress-granule RNAs by fusing a stress-granule RNA-binding protein (FMR1) to the catalytic domain of an RNA-editing enzyme (ADAR). RNAs colocalized with this fusion are edited, producing mutations that are detectable by sequencing. We then show that this “in situ" method can reliably identify stress granule RNAs in single S2 cells and in Drosophila neurons, and that they encode cell cycle, transcription and splicing factors. The identification of stress granule RNAs without perturbation opens the possibility to examine cell-to-cell variability and identify the RNA content not only in stress granules, but also in other RNA based assemblies in single cells derived from tissues.

L-bodies are novel RNA-protein condensates driving RNA transport in Xenopus oocytes

Project description:RNP granules are membrane-less compartments within cells, formed by phase separation, that function as regulatory hubs for diverse biological processes. However, the mechanisms by which RNAs and proteins interact to promote RNP granule assembly and function in vivo remain unclear. In Xenopus laevis oocytes, maternal mRNAs are transported as large RNPs to the vegetal hemisphere of the developing oocyte, where local translation is critical for proper embryonic patterning. Here, we demonstrate that vegetal transport RNPs represent a new class of cytoplasmic RNP granule, termed Localization-bodies (L-bodies). We show that L-bodies are multiphase RNP granules, containing a dynamic liquid-like protein-containing phase surrounding a non-dynamic RNA-containing substructure. Our results support a role for RNA as a critical scaffold component within these RNP granules and suggest that cis-elements within localized mRNAs may drive subcellular RNA localization through control over phase behavior.

FAM69C functions as a kinase for eIF2α and promotes stress granule assembly

Project description:Stress granules are dynamic cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granules that assemble in response to cellular stress. Aberrant formation of stress granules has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation of stress granules remain elusive. Here we report that the brain-enriched protein kinase FAM69C promotes stress granule assembly through phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2α). FAM69C physically interacts with eIF2α and functions as a stress-specific kinase for eIF2α, leading to stress-induced protein translation arrest and stress granule assembly. Primary microglia derived from Fam69c knockout mice exhibit aberrant stress granule assembly in response to oxidative stress and ATP. Defective stress granule assembly in microglia correlates with the formation of ASC specks and NLRP3 inflammasome activation, whereas induction of stress granule precludes inflammasome formation. Consistently, increased NLRP3 levels, caspase-1 cleavage and Il18 expression corroborate microglia-associated neuroinflammation in aged Fam69c knockout mice. Our study demonstrates that FAM69C is critical for stress granule assembly and suggests its role in the regulation of microglia function.

FAM69C promotes stress granule assembly and suppresses inflammasome activation

Project description:Stress granule and inflammasome assembly determine contrasting fates of stressed cells. FAM69C is a brain-enriched kinase associated with neurodegenerative diseases, but its biological functions are still largely unknown. Here we show that FAM69C plays an important role in the regulation of stress responses through promoting stress granule assembly and suppressing inflammasome activation. In response to ATP, a common inflammasome activator, mouse primary microglia, and BV-2 cells form stress granules. FAM69C deficiency hastens inflammasome activation in mouse microglia, which is accompanied by inhibited stress granule assembly. FAM69C promotes the assembly of stress granules and halts protein translation under stress. Aged Fam69c knockout mice show increased neuroinflammation and ASC specks formation. We further find that FAM69C physically phosphorylates eIF2α and promotes stress granule assembly. Our data reveal that FAM69C promotes stress granule assembly under stress and suppresses inflammasome formation in microglia, suggesting that FAM69C may be a potential therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases.

Spatiotemporal regulation of liquid-like condensates in epigenetic inheritance

Project description:Non-membrane bound organelles such as nucleoli, processing bodies, cajal bodies, and germ granules form via spontaneous self-assembly of specific proteins and RNAs. How these biomolecular condensates form and interact are poorly understood. Here we identify two proteins (ZNFX-1 and WAGO-4) that localize to C. elegans germ granules (P granules) in early germline blastomeres. Later in germline development, ZNFX-1/WAGO-4 separate from P granules to define an independent liquid-like condensate that we term the Z granule. In adult germ cells, Z granules assemble into ordered tri-droplet assemblages with P granules and Mutator foci that we term the PZM granule. Finally, we show that one biological function of ZNFX-1 and WAGO-4 is to interact with RNAs in the C. elegans germline to promote transgenerational epigenetic inheritance (TEI). We speculate that the temporal and spatial ordering of liquid droplet organelles may help cells organize and coordinate the complex RNA processing pathways underlying gene regulatory systems, such as RNA-directed TEI.
