Deciphering the cellular roles and dissecting functional regions of UPF3A and UPF3B in human NMD

ABSTRACT: The paralogous proteins UPF3A and UPF3B are involved in recognizing defective mRNAs that are degraded by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). While UPF3B has been demonstrated to support NMD, UPF3A was reported to act either an NMD activator or an NMD inhibitor. Here, we present a comprehensive functional analysis of UPF3A and UPF3B in human cells using overexpression, knockdowns, knockouts (KO) and rescue experiments. Overexpression or knockout of UPF3A did not result in detectable changes in global NMD activity or other specific transcriptome alterations . NMD activity was also virtually unchanged in UPF3B KO cells. In contrast, the co-depletion or co-knockout of UPF3A and UPF3B resulted in a marked NMD inhibition and a global upregulation of PTC-containing transcripts. In rescue experiments UPF3B was fully functional when either UPF2- or EJC binding was impaired . However, the deletion of both interaction sites or one interaction site and a central region of UPF3B impaired its NMD function. Altogether, our work identifies critical functional domains of UPF3B and establishes redundant roles of UPF3A and UPF3B during NMD.

Proximity labelling of FLAG-TurboID-tagged UPF3B wild type and interaction-deficient mutant proteins followed by proteomics analysis

Project description:UPF3A and UPF3B are paralogous genes in human cells that are involved in the nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway. NMD is a cellular quality control mechanism that monitors mRNAs during translation. Aberrant translation due to features such as the presence of a premature stop codon downstream on an exon-exon junction activates NMD and leads to the degradation of the mRNA. To investigate the role of UPF3B in NMD, we have generated FLAG-TurboID-UPF3B wild type or mutant expressing human Flp-In T-Rex 293 UPF3B knockout cells using the PiggyBac transposon system. We generated proteomic data from the proximity labeled interactome of these UPF3B variants.

The exon junction complex component CASC3 is a major effector of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in human cells

Project description:In metazoans, the exon junction complex (EJC) is a central component of spliced messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs). CASC3 has been reported to be a core component of the EJC and to be crucial for assembly, the splicing regulating function of the EJC and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). However, recent evidence suggests that CASC3 functions differently from other EJC core components. To elucidate the cellular role of CASC3, we have established human cell lines in which CASC3 was inactivated by means of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. We show that in these cells CASC3 is dispensable for the splicing regulatory role of the EJC. However, we find that CASC3 depletion results in the upregulation of many known and novel NMD substrates, suggesting that CASC3 is required for the efficient execution of EJC-dependent NMD. Taken together, our results challenge the model of CASC3 as an assembly factor and core component of the EJC. Our data rather show that CASC3 is involved in the degradation of NMD substrates and therefore uncover the primary molecular function of CASC3 in human cells.

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay relies on "two-factor authentication" by SMG5-SMG7

Project description:Eukaryotic gene expression is constantly regulated and controlled by the translation-coupled nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway. Aberrant translation termination leads to NMD activation and robust clearance of NMD targets via two seemingly independent and redundant mRNA degradation branches. Here, we uncover that the loss of the first SMG5-SMG7-dependent pathway also inactivates the second SMG6-dependent branch, indicating an unexpected functional hierarchy of the final NMD steps. Transcriptome-wide analyses of SMG5-SMG7-depleted cells confirm complete NMD inhibition resulting in massive transcriptomic alterations. The NMD activity conferred by SMG5-SMG7 is determined to varying degrees by their interaction with the central NMD factor UPF1, heterodimer formation and the initiation of deadenylation. Surprisingly, we find that SMG5 functionally substitutes SMG7 and vice versa. Our data support an improved model for NMD execution that features two-factor authentication involving UPF1 phosphorylation and SMG5-SMG7 recruitment to access SMG6 activity.

Inhibition of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay reduces the tumorigenicity of human fibrosarcoma cells

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a eukaryotic RNA degradation pathway that targets for degradation faulty mRNAs with premature termination codons as well as many physiological mRNAs encoding full-length proteins. Consequently, NMD functions in both, quality control and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, and it has been implicated in the modulation of cancer progression. To investigate the role of NMD in cancer, we knocked out SMG7 in the HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cell line. SMG7 is involved in deadenylation-coupled exonucleolytic mRNA decay, one of the two main degradation pathways in mammalian NMD. Genome-wide proteomic and transcriptomic analyses confirmed that NMD is severely compromised in these SMG7-knockout HT1080 cells. We compared the oncogenic properties between the parental, the SMG7-knockout, and a rescue cell line in which we re-introduced both isoforms of SMG7. In parallel, we tested the effect of a drug inhibiting the NMD factor SMG1 on the HT1080 cells to distinguish NMD-dependent effects from putative NMD-independent functions of SMG7. Using cell-based assays as well as a mouse xenograft tumor model, we show that the oncogenic properties of the parental HT1080 cells areseverely compromised when NMD is inhibited. Molecular pathway analysis revealed a strong reduction of the matrix metalloprotease 9 (MMP9) gene expression in NMD-suppressed cells. Since MMP9 expression promotes cancer cell migration and invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis, its downregulation in NMD-suppressed cells explains, at least partially, their reduced tumorigenicity. Collectively, our findings emphasize the therapeutic potential of NMD inhibition for the treatment ofcertain types of cancer.

UPF1 helicase orchestrates mutually exclusive interactions with the SMG6 endonuclease and UPF2

Project description:Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a conserved co-translational mRNA surveillance and turnover pathway across eukaryotes. NMD has a central role in degrading defective mRNAs and also regulates the stability of a significant portion of the transcriptome. The pathway is organized around UPF1, an RNA helicase that can interact with several NMD-specific factors. In human cells, degradation of the targeted mRNAs begins with a cleavage event that requires the recruitment of the SMG6 endonuclease to UPF1. Previous studies have identified functional links between SMG6 and UPF1, but the underlying molecular mechanisms have remained elusive. In this work, we used mass spectrometry, structural biology and biochemical approaches to identify and characterize a conserved short linear motif in SMG6 that interacts with the cysteine/histidine-rich (CH) domain of UPF1. Unexpectedly, we found that the UPF1-SMG6 interaction is precluded when the UPF1 CH domain is engaged with another NMD factor, UPF2. Based on cryo-EM data, we propose that the formation of distinct SMG6-containing and UPF2-containing NMD complexes may be dictated by the RNA-binding status of UPF1. Our findings rationalize a key event in the metazoan NMD quality control pathway and progress our understanding of mechanisms regulating activity and guiding substrate recognition by the SMG6 endonuclease.

Quantitative Proteomics of Mouse Liver (FTO-KO,WT) in response to DEN injection

Project description:Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the FTO gene encoding a m6A demthylase are associated with obesity and cancer development. However, the functional role of FTO in the developemnt of progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as a proteotypic obesity-associated cancer remains unclear. Here, we have generated mice with hepatic FTO deficiency (FTOL-KO) and subjected them to DEN induced HCC-development. FTOL-KO mice exhibit increased HCC burden. While control mice exhibit a dynamic regulation of FTO upon induction of liver damage, this response is abrogated in mice lacking FTO. Proteomic analyses revealed that liver damage-induced increases in FTO expression promotes m6A-demethylation of CUL4A reducing its protein expression. Functionally, knockdown of CUL4A restores the increased hepatocyte proliferation observed upon loss of FTO. Collectively, our study reveals a protective role for FTO-dependent dynamic m6A mRNA demethylation of CUL4A in the initiation of HCC development.

RNA-seq of KD, rescues of NMD factors, and UPF1-flag CLIP-seq in HeLa cells.

Project description:This study aims at confidently identifying endogenous nonsense mediated decay (NMD) targets. To achieve this purpose, we performed KD of a few NMD factors in HeLa cells. Additionally, we performed rescue experiments for each factor, expressing an RNAi-resistant version of the gene from a plasmid. To determine transcripts bound by UPF1 in HeLa cells, A construct with a C-terminally flag tagged version of UPF1 was expressed. In order to avoid competition with endogenous UPF1, a KD was performed.
