GNPS - Small RNA directs symbiosis, virulence, and natural products biosynthesis in entomopathogenic bacteria

ABSTRACT: Rapid modulation of gene expression is a key feature for the success of bacteria, particularly for those that rapidly have to adapt to different niches. The lifecycles of Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus involve a mutualistic association with nematodes as well as an entomopathogenic phase, both of which rely on the production of numerous specialized metabolites (SMs). Several regulators have been previously implicated in the regulation of SM production in these genera. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulatory control of SM production, and especially the role of small regulatory RNAs, are unknown. Here we show that the Hfq-dependent small RNA, ArcZ, is required for SM production. We discovered that ArcZ directly base-pairs with the mRNA encoding HexA, a known repressor of SM production. We further demonstrate that the ArcZ regulon is not restricted to SM production, but rather modulates up to ~15% of the transcriptional output in both Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus. Together, our study shows that small RNAs are key for SM production in these species, provides new targets for biosynthetic pathway manipulations, and offers a new tool for the (over-)production, isolation and identification of unknown natural products.

The lifecycles of Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus involve a mutualistic association with nematodes as well as an entomopathogenic phase1,2, both of which rely on the production of numerous specialized metabolites (SMs) 3,4. Several regulators have been previously implicated in the regulation of SM production in these genera3,4. However, the molecular underpinnings regulating SM production and the role of small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) in this process are unknown. Here we describe the mechanism underlying RNA-mediated control of SM synthesis. We show that the Hfq-dependent sRNA, ArcZ, is an essential requirement for SM production. We discovered that ArcZ directly base-pairs with the mRNA encoding HexA, a key repressor of SM genes. We further demonstrate that the ArcZ regulon is not restricted to SM production, but rather modulates up to ~15% of the transcriptional output in both Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus. Together, our study shows that sRNAs are crucial for SM production in these species, reveals previously unknown targets for biosynthetic pathway manipulations, and offers a new tool for the (over)production, isolation and identification of unknown natural products.

RIP-seq analysis of eukaryotic Sm proteins identifies three major categories of Sm-containing ribonucleoproteins

Project description:Background: Sm proteins are multimeric RNA-binding factors, found in all three domains of life. Eukaryotic Sm proteins, together with their associated RNAs, form small ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes important in multiple aspects of gene regulation. Comprehensive knowledge of the RNA components of Sm RNPs is critical for understanding their functions. Results: We developed a multi-targeting RNA-immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq) strategy to reliably identify Sm-associated RNAs from Drosophila ovaries and cultured human cells. Using this method, we discovered three major categories of Sm-associated transcripts: small nuclear (sn)RNAs, small Cajal body (sca)RNAs and mRNAs. Additional RIP-PCR analysis showed both ubiquitous and tissue-specific interactions. We provide evidence that the mRNA-Sm interactions are mediated by snRNPs, and that one of the mechanisms of interaction is via base pairing. Moreover, the Sm-associated mRNAs are mature, indicating a splicing-independent function for Sm RNPs. Conclusions: This study represents the first comprehensive analysis of eukaryotic Sm-containing RNPs, and provides a basis for additional functional analyses of Sm proteins and their associated snRNPs outside of the context of pre-mRNA splicing. Our findings expand the repertoire of eukaryotic Sm-containing RNPs and suggest new functions for snRNPs in mRNA metabolism.

Knock-down of the methyltransferase Kmt6 reliefs H3K27me3 and induces expression of cryptic otherwise silent secondary metabolite gene clusters in Fusarium fujikuroi [gene expression]

Project description:Filamentous fungi produce a vast array of secondary metabolites (SMs) and some of them are applied in agriculture or pharmacology. Recent sequencing of the rice pathogen Fusarium fujikuroi revealed the presence of far more SM-encoding genes than known products. SM production is energy-consuming and thus tightly regulated, leaving the majority of SM gene clusters silent under laboratory conditions. It is now well established that one important regulatory layer in SM biosynthesis involves histone modifications that render the genes either silent or poised for transcription. In this study, we show that the majority of the putative SM gene clusters in F. fujikuroi are located within facultative heterochromatin marked by H3K27me3. In this study, we performed comparative transcriptomics of a knock-down mutant of the responsible methyltransferase Kmt6 involved in H3K27 methylation grown on either solid complete medium or solid synthetic ICI medium. Overall four so far cryptic and otherwise silent putative SM gene clusters were significantly induced in the KMT6kd strain accompanied by reduced H3K27me3 levels at the respective gene loci and accumulation of novel metabolites. One of the four putative SM gene clusters, the STC5 gene cluster, was analysed in detail and heterologous expression of the key enzyme allowed for the identification of the first pathway-specific intermediate (1R,4R,5S)-guaia-6,10(14)-diene. 2 strains were analysed in overall two conditions, and each with 3 biological replicates

Transcriptome wide identification of Dicer binding in human and C. elegans reveals a variety of substrates (small RNA AGO-IP)

Project description:Dicer is a deeply conserved endoribonuclease with key functions in small RNA biogenesis. Here we employed PAR-CLIP/iPAR-CLIP to identify direct Dicer binding sites in the transcriptomes of human cells and human. We found hundreds of novel miRNAs and non-canonical Dicer substrates with high sensitivity. Small RNA production depended on structure of the binding site and is globally biased towards the 5' arm of hairpins. Unexpectedly, in both species Dicer bound numerous hairpins inside mRNAs without observable small RNA production. Our data revealed ~100 mRNAs of protein coding genes to be targeted in both human and worm. These mRNAs significantly overlapped with the RNAi pathway. We also, unexpectedly, found that mitochondrial transcripts are Dicer targets in both species. We demonstrate functional consequences of Dicer binding by perturbation analysis. Taken together,we provide the first genome-wide catalog of direct Dicer targets. Our results suggest widespread function outside of miRNA biogenesis. Argonaute loaded small RNAs were extracted from FLAG:AGO2 and FLAG:AGO3 expressing HEK293 cells. Small RNA was purified and length selected (see supplementary methods).

Standard small RNA sequencing was performed to sequence 5' monophosphate bearing small RNAs. Alternatively, 5'polyphosphatase from Epicenter was used to catch also tri-phosphate bearing secondary endo-siRNAs.

Synergistic and independent actions of multiple terminal nucleotidyl transferases in 3’ tailing of small RNAs in Arabidopsis

Project description:Small silencing RNAs are key regulators of gene expression in both plants and animals. HEN1-mediated 3’ terminal 2’-O-methylation plays a crucial role in small RNA stability control. In the absence of HEN1, small RNAs are frequently uridylated (untemplated uridine addition) and trimmed, a phenomenon that is conserved across species. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is largely unknown. In this study, we have discovered UTP: RNA uridylyltransferase (URT1) acts redundantly with HESO1 in the uridylation of miRNAs, in addition to its role in oligo-adenylated mRNA uridylation. We show both common and distinctive features of URT1 and HESO1 in catalyzing miRNA uridylation. non coding RNA deep sequencing

Small RNA sequencing on affinity capture-purified tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs)

Project description:During stress conditions, particular tRNAs are cleaved by stress-induced endonucleases resulting in distinct tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs). These small RNAs have been implicated in a wide array of mostly stress-related biological processes, however how exactly they exert their functions mechanistically is still largely unknown. Since parental tRNAs carry post-transcriptional modifications, stress-induced tsRNAs are likely modified, too. In order to use endogenously modified tsRNAs, we developed a biochemical pipeline for the production and purification of specific tsRNAs using a human cell culture system. Ectopic expression of Angiogenin combined with chromatography of small RNAs resulted in the production of endogenously modified 5’ tsRNAs on a preparative scale. Small RNA sequencing on purified tsRNAs was used to determine the identity and purity of the 5’ tsRNA preparations.
