Structural basis of RNA-induced autoregulation of the DExH-type RNA helicase maleless

ABSTRACT: RNA unwinding by DExH-type helicases underlies most RNA metabolism and function. It remains unresolved if and how the basic unwinding reaction of helicases is regulated by auxiliary domains. We explored the interplay between the RecA and auxiliary domains of the RNA helicase maleless (MLE) from Drosophila, using a suite of structural and functional studies. We discovered that MLE exists in a dsRNA bound open conformation and the auxiliary dsRBD2 domain aligns the substrate RNA with the accessible helicase tunnel. In an ATP-dependent manner, dsRBD2 associates with the helicase module, leading to tunnel closure around ssRNA. Furthermore, our structures provide a rationale for blunt ended dsRNA unwinding and 3’-5’ translocation by MLE. Structure-based MLE mutations confirm the functional relevance of our model for RNA unwinding. Our findings contribute to our understanding of fundamental mechanics of auxiliary domains in DExH helicase MLE which serves as model for its human ortholog and potentially therapeutic target, DHX9/RHA.

MOV10 Is a 5' to 3' RNA Helicase Contributing to UPF1 mRNA Target Degradation by Translocation along 3'UTRs (expression)

Project description:RNA helicases are important regulators of gene expression that act by remodeling RNA secondary structures and as RNA-protein interactions. Here, we demonstrate that MOV10 has an ATP-dependent 5' to 3' in vitro RNA unwinding activity and determine the RNA-binding sites of MOV10 and its helicase mutants using PAR-CLIP. We find that MOV10 predominantly binds to 3' UTRs upstream of regions predicted to form local secondary structures and provide evidence that MOV10 helicase mutants are impaired in their ability to translocate 5' to 3' on their mRNA targets. MOV10 interacts with UPF1, the key component of the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway. PAR-CLIP of UPF1 reveals that MOV10 and UPF1 bind to RNA in close proximity. Knockdown of MOV10 resulted in increased mRNA half-lives of MOV10-bound as well as UPF1-regulated transcripts, suggesting that MOV10 functions in UPF1-mediated mRNA degradation as an RNA clearance factor to resolve structures and displace proteins from 3' UTRs. Flp-In T-REx HEK293 cells expressing FLAG/HA-tagged MOV10 WT, MOV10 K530A, MOV10 D645N and UPF1 were used to determine the protein-RNA interaction sites of RNA helicases MOV10 and UPF1 as well as MOV10 inactive variants using PAR-CLIP in combination with next generation sequencing. mRNA half-life changes of MOV10-targeted mRNA were determined by measuring mRNA half-lives by mRNA sequencing of mock and MOV10-depleted HEK293 cells.

Indentification of RecBCD Auxiliary ATP binding

Project description:The RecBCD helicase initiates double-stranded break repair in bacteria by processively unwinding DNA with a rate approaching ~1,600 bp·second, but the mechanism enabling such a fast rate is unknown. By using crosslinking followed by mass spectrometry, we revealed evidence for the existence of auxiliary binding sites in the RecC subunit. This was validated by equilibrium and time-resolved binding experiments, ensemble, and single-molecule unwinding assays. The essentiality and functionality of these sites are further demonstrated by their impact on the survival of E.coli after exposure to damage-inducing radiation.

Nonsense-Mediated Decay restricts lncRNAs levels in yeast unless blocked by double-stranded RNA structure

Project description:Antisense long non-coding (aslnc)RNAs represent a substantial part of eukaryotic transcriptomes that are, in yeast, controlled by the Xrn1 exonuclease. Nonsense-Mediated Decay (NMD) destabilizes the Xrn1-sensitive aslncRNAs (XUT), but what determines their sensitivity remains unclear. We report that 3’ single-stranded (3’-ss) extension mediates XUTs degradation by NMD, assisted by the Mtr4 and Dbp2 helicases. Single-gene investigation, genome-wide RNA analyses and double-stranded (ds)RNA mapping revealed that 3'-ss extensions discriminate the NMD-targeted XUTs from stable lncRNAs. Ribosome profiling showed that XUT are translated locking them for NMD activity. Interestingly, mutants of the Mtr4 and Dbp2 helicases accumulated XUTs, suggesting that dsRNA unwinding is a critical step for degradation. Indeed, expression of anti-complementary transcripts protects cryptic intergenic lncRNAs from NMD. Our results indicate that aslncRNAs form dsRNA that are only translated and targeted to NMD if dissociated by Mtr4 and Dbp2. We propose that NMD buffers genome expression by discarding pervasive regulatory transcripts.

The Thermus thermophilus DEAD-box protein Hera is a general RNA chaperone and plays a key role in tRNA metabolism

Project description:RNA helicases catalyze the ATP-dependent destabilization of RNA duplexes. DEAD-box helicases share a helicase core that mediates ATP binding and hydrolysis, RNA binding and unwinding. Most members of this family contain domains flanking the core that can confer RNA substrate specificity and guide the helicase to a specific RNA. However, the in vivo RNA substrates of most helicase are currently not defined. The DEAD-box helicase Hera from Thermus thermophilus contains a helicase core, followed by a dimerization domain (DD) and an RNA binding domain (RBD) that folds into an RNA recognition motif (RRM). The RRM mediates high affinity binding to an RNA hairpin, and an adjacent duplex is then unwound by the helicase core. Hera is a cold-shock protein, and has been suggested to act as an RNA chaperone under cold-shock conditions. Using immunoprecipitation of Hera-RNA complexes and RNA-Seq, we show that Hera binds to a large fraction of T. thermophilus RNAs under normal-growth and cold-shock conditions without a strong sequence preference, in agreement with a structure-specific recognition of RNAs and a general function in RNA metabolism. Under cold-shock conditions, Hera is recruited to RNAs with high propensities to form stable secondary structures. We show that selected RNAs identified, including a set of tRNAs, bind to Hera in vitro, and activate the Hera helicase core. Gene ontology analysis reveals an enrichment of genes related to translation, including mRNAs of ribosomal proteins, tRNAs, tRNA ligases, and tRNA-modifying enzymes, consistent with a key role of Hera in ribosome assembly and tRNA metabolism.

BLM helicase protein negatively regulates stress granule formation through unwinding RNA G-quadruplex structures

Project description:Bloom’s syndrome (BLM) protein is a known nuclear helicase that is able to unwind DNA secondary structures such as G-quadruplexes. However, its role in the regulation of cytoplasmic processes that involve RNA G-quadruplexes (rG4s) has not been previously studied. Here, we demonstrate that BLM is recruited to stress granules (SGs), which are cytoplasmic biomolecular condensates composed of RNA-binding proteins and RNAs. BLM is enriched in SGs upon different stress conditions and in an rG4-dependent manner. We show that BLM unwinds rG4s efficiently, thus acting as a negative regulator of SG formation, potentially via its unwinding function. Altogether, our data expand the cellular activity of BLM and shed light on the function that helicases play in the dynamics of biomolecular condensates.

Mechanisms of MCM2-7 loading and initial DNA melting at near base-pair resolution

Project description:The loading and activation of the replicative helicase MCM2-7 are key events during the G1-S phase transition.In budding yeast, the origin recognition complex (ORC) binds to the conserved DNA elements A and B1 of the autonomously replicating sequence (ARS).This is followed by the consecutive loading of two MCM2-7 hetero-hexamers into a MCM2-7 double-hexamer(DH).In S-phase the MCM2-7DH is activated, resulting in two Cdc45-MCM-GINS(CMG) helicases that bidirectionally unwind DNA ahead of the replication fork.Here,we show that MCM2-7 helicase loading across the B1 element displaces ORC fromo rigins.This allows ORC binding and helicase loading at lower affinity binding sites and origins throughout the genome.Furthermore, we mapped the sites of initial DNA unwinding genome-wide and show that these sites appear near the N-terminal domains of the MCM2-7 double-hexamer in proximity of the B1 element.Finally, employing a chemical-biology approach, we establish that during helicase activation the Mcm2/5 interface acts as the DNA exit gate for single-stranded-DNA extrusion.Our work identifies that helicase loading follows a distributive mechanism, allowing for equal MCM2-7 loading across the genome and surprisingly finds that DNA unwinding initiates from the helicase N-terminal interface in proximity to the ARS B1 element.

Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry of wt Mtr4 with various RNA substrates

Project description:Mtr4 is a eukaryotic RNA helicase required for RNA decay by the nuclear exosome. Previous studies have shown how RNA enroute to the exosome threads through the highly conserved helicase core of Mtr4. Mtr4 also contains an arch domain, although details of potential interactions between the arch and RNA have been elusive. To understand the interaction of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mtr4 with various RNAs, we have characterized RNA binding in solution using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, and affinity and unwinding assays. We have identified RNA interactions within the helicase core that are consistent with existing structures and do not vary between tRNA, single-stranded RNA, and double-stranded RNA constructs. We have also identified novel RNA interactions with a region of the arch known as the fist or KOW. These interactions are important for RNA unwinding and vary in strength depending on RNA structure and length. They account for Mtr4 discrimination between different RNAs. These interactions further drive Mtr4 to adopt a closed conformation characterized by reduced dynamics of the arch arm and intra-domain contacts between the fist and helicase core.

Structural evidence for consecutive Hel308-like modules in the spliceosomal ATPase Brr2

Project description:Brr2 is a DExD/H-box helicase responsible for U4/U6 unwinding, a critical step in spliceosomal activation. Brr2 contains an N-terminal domain and two tandem sets of a helicase-like domain followed by a Sec63 domain with unknown function. We determined the crystal structure of the second Sec63 domain, which unexpectedly resembles domains 4 and 5 of DNA helicase Hel308. The helicase-like domain upstream of Sec63 has clear sequence similarity with domains 1-3 of Hel308. In addition modeling indicates that Brr2 is composed of an N-terminal domain and two consecutive Hel308-like modules (Hel308-I and II). Together this provides our first glimpse of the overall structure of this large and unique spliceosomal ATPase and helicase. Our structural model and mutagenesis data suggest that Brr2 shares a similar helicase mechanism to Hel308, that differs from many DEAD-box proteins. We demonstrate that Hel308-II interacts with Prp8 and Snu114 in vitro and in vivo, potentially serving as a mediator for the regulation of Brr2â??s activity by Prp8. We further find that the C-terminal region of Prp8 (Prp8-CTR) facilitates the binding of the Brr2/Prp8-CTR complex to U4/U6, suggesting a potential role of Prp8-CTR as an auxiliary substrate binding and specificity domain for Brr2. Splicing specific microarrays were used to assess the genome-wide defects in pre-mRNA splicing that result from a deletion of the second Sec63 domain of yeast Brr2.

Mechanisms of MCM2-7 loading and initial DNA melting at near base-pair resolution [MCM4 & ORC2 ChIP-exo]

Project description:The loading and activation of the replicative helicase MCM2-7 are key events during the G1-S phase transition. In budding yeast, the origin recognition complex (ORC) binds to the conserved DNA elements A and B1 of the autonomously replicating sequence (ARS). This is followed by the consecutive loading of two MCM2-7 hetero-hexamers into a MCM2-7 double-hexamer (DH). In S-phase the MCM2-7 DH is activated, resulting in two Cdc45-MCM-GINS (CMG) helicases that bidirectionally unwind DNA ahead of the replication fork. Here, we show that MCM2-7 helicase loading across the B1 element displaces ORC from origins. This allows ORC binding and helicase loading at lower affinity binding sites and origins throughout the genome. Furthermore, we mapped the sites of initial DNA unwinding genome-wide and show that these sites appear near the N-terminal domains of the MCM2-7 double-hexamer in proximity of the B1 element. Finally, employing a chemical-biology approach, we establish that during helicase activation the Mcm2/5 interface acts as the DNA exit gate for single-stranded-DNA extrusion. Our work identifies that helicase loading follows a distributive mechanism, allowing for equal MCM2-7 loading across the genome and surprisingly finds that DNA unwinding initiates from the helicase N-terminal interface in proximity to the ARS B1 element.
