An engineered transcriptional reporter of protein localization identifies regulators of mitochondrial and ER membrane protein trafficking in high-throughput screens

ABSTRACT: Coukos R, Yao D, Sanchez MI, Strand ET, Olive ME, Udeshi ND, Weissman JS, Carr SA, Bassik MC, Ting AY. 2021. The trafficking of specific protein cohorts to the correct subcellular location at the correct time is essential for every signaling and regulatory process in biology. Gene perturbation screens could provide a powerful approach to probe the molecular mechanisms of protein trafficking, but only if protein localization or mislocalization can be tied to a simple and robust phenotype for cell selection, such as cell proliferation or FACS. To broadly empower the study of protein trafficking processes with gene perturbation, we developed a genetically-encoded molecular tool named HiLITR. HiLITR converts protein colocalization into proteolytic release of a membrane-anchored transcription factor, which drives the expression of a chosen reporter gene. Using HiLITR in combination with FACS-based CRISPRi screening in human cell lines, we identify genes that influence the trafficking of mitochondrial and ER tail-anchored proteins. We show that loss of the SUMO E1 component SAE1 results in the mislocalization and destabilization of mitochondrial tail-anchored proteins. We also demonstrate a distinct regulatory role for EMC10 in the ER membrane complex, opposing the transmembrane-domain insertion activity of the complex. Through transcriptional integration of complex cellular functions, HiLITR expands the scope of biological processes that can be studied by genetic perturbation screening technologies.

Project description:Small non-coding RNA biogenesis typically involves cleavage of structured precursors by RNase III-like endonucleases. However, guide RNAs that direct U-insertion/deletion mRNA editing in mitochondria of trypanosomes maintain 5â² triphosphate characteristic of transcription start site and possess U-tail indicative of 3â² processing and uridylation. Here, we identified a protein complex composed of RET1 TUTase and 3â²-5â² DSS1 exonuclease, and three additional subunits. This complex, termed mitochondrial 3â² processome (MPsome), is responsible for primary uridylation of ~800-nt gRNA precursors, their processive degradation to a mature length of 50-60 nt, and secondary U-tail addition. Both strands of gRNA gene are transcribed giving rise to sense and antisense precursors of similar size. Head-to-head hybridization of these transcripts blocks symmetrical 3â²-5â² degradation at the fixed distance from the double-stranded region. Together, our findings suggest a model in which gRNA is derived from the 5â² extremity of a primary molecule by uridylation-induced, antisense transcription-controlled exonucleolytic degradation. 1. we first sequenced guide RNA precursor (Gel-fractioned total cellular RNA 600-1500nt was used) transcripts from three replicates to study the their tail features and also validate observation of sense/antisense accumulation upon perturbation of pre-processing complex based on few cases. 2. we then sequenced mitochondrial small RNA and built a reference for small RNAs using our custom algorithm. We then took the mitochondrial small RNA data and uncovered the sense/antisense pair. 3. We then usedÂ CLIP-Seq data toÂ investigateÂ in vivo binding sitesÂ and, together with RNA IP-Seq data to understand what determine the relative abundance of sense and antisense pair of the duplex. 4. We used sequenced small mitochondrial RNA in different RNAi experiments (For RNAi experiments, 30-70nt RNA fraction was gel-isolated from total cellular RNAs) to understand which protein will affect the Utail length in mature small mitochondrial RNA.
