Nuclear RNA forms an interconnected network of transcription-dependent and tunable microgels

ABSTRACT: The human cell nucleus is comprised of proteins, chromatin and RNA, yet how they interact to form supramolecular structures and drive key biological processes remains unknown. Conflicting models have proposed either a fluid-like or solid-like nature for the intranuclear microenvironment. To reconcile this discrepancy, we investigated the 3D structure and properties of the nuclear interior using experiments and computer simulations. We reveal a novel mechanism where newly synthesized RNA interacts with SAF-A (scaffold attachment factor A, or HNRNPU), forming interconnected microgels degraded by the exonuclease XRN2, leading to dynamic cycles of gelation and fluidization. This emergent microgel network depends on transcription, and is disrupted by SAF- A depletion. It also decreases protein mobility and regulates chromatin compaction by modulating microphase separation, thereby opening transcriptionally active regions. This tunable intranuclear network exhibits scale-dependent fluid- and solid-like features, that we suggest may regulate transcription by controlling access to regulatory proteins and polymerases.

The OTUD6B-LIN28B-MYC axis determines cell cycle progression in multiple myeloma

Project description:Deubiquitylases (DUBs) remove ubiquitin from proteins. In the context of cancer, their inhibition can induce the degradation of oncoproteins, that may otherwise be “undruggable”. Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy with poor outcome and high sensitivity towards ubiquitin-proteasome-system (UPS) inhibitory therapies. However, the role of DUBs in MM pathophysiology and therapy has remained elusive. Starting from genetic screening for DUB dependencies in MM, we here identify OTUD6B as a central vulnerability in MM that drives the G1/S cell cycle transition by means of deubiquitylating and stabilizing LIN28B subsequent to LIN28B phosphorylation. LIN28B regulates miRNA biogenesis and exerts high expression in embryonic stem cells that becomes re-established in certain tumors, including MM. Binding of LIN28B at G1/S activates OTUD6B, which otherwise remains in a catalytically inactive state. As a consequence, stabilized LIN28B drives MYC expression via inhibition of let7 microRNAs, which in turn allows for a rapid transition of MM cells from G1 to S phase. Analyses of primary MM patient samples reveal a positive correlation of OTUDB6B expression with poor outcome, high MYC expression and MYC target gene induction, suggesting that high MYC levels in MM result from an activation of the OTUD6B-LIN28B nexus. Together, we here specify phosphorylation and cell cycle-dependent substrate binding as a means by which OTUD6B becomes activated to drive the G1/S transition via the LIN28B-MYC axis and nominate OTUD6B and LIN28B as actionable vulnerabilities in MM.

CLUH interactome reveals its association to SPAG5 and its proximity to the translation of mitochondrial proteins

Project description:Mitochondria require thousands of proteins to fulfil their essential function in energy production and other fundamental biological processes. These proteins are mostly encoded by the nuclear genome, translated in the cytoplasm before being imported into the organelle. RNA binding proteins (RBPs) are central players in the regulation of this process by affecting mRNA translation, stability or localization. CLUH is an RBP recognizing specifically mRNAs coding for mitochondrial proteins, but its precise molecular function and interacting partners remain undiscovered in mammals. Here we reveal for the first time CLUH interactome in mammalian cells. Using both co-IP and BioID proximity-labeling approaches, we identify novel molecular partners interacting stably or transiently with CLUH in HCT116 cells and mouse embryonic stem cells. We reveal a stable RNA-independent interaction of CLUH with itself and with SPAG5 in cytosolic granular structures. More importantly, we uncover an unexpected proximity of CLUH to mitochondrial proteins and its cognate mRNAs in the cytosol. Additionally, our data highlights the importance of CLUH TPR domain for its interactions with both proteins and mRNAs. Overall, through the analysis of CLUH interactome, our study sheds a new light on CLUH molecular function by highlighting its association to the translation and subcellular localization of some mRNAs coding for mitochondrial proteins.

Antagonistic roles of canonical and alternative-RPA in disease-associated tandem CAG repeat instability

Project description:Ongoing CAG expansions in Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) and Huntington disease (HD) brains exacerbate disease. Expansions involve aberrant repair of mutagenic slipped-DNAs, formed from single-stranded DNAs. Whether singlestranded DNA-binding proteins prevent or facilitate expansions is unknown. We assessed canonical RPA (RPA1-RPA2-RPA3) and Alternative-RPA (RPA1-RPA4- RPA3), containing primate-specific RPA4. RPA is essential for all DNA metabolism. Alt-RPA has undefined functions. Alt-RPA is upregulated 10-fold in HD and SCA1 patient brains. RPA enhances, while Alt-RPA blocks, correct repair of slipped-CAGs. RPA, but not Alt-RPA, efficiently binds and melts slipped-DNAs. RPA enhances, while Alt-RPA blocks, removal of excess slipped-DNAs by FAN1 nuclease. Protein-protein interactomes reveal unique and shared partners of RPA and Alt-RPA, including expansion-driving proteins. RPA-overexpression in SCA1 mice inhibits CAG expansions in brains, rescuing neuron morphology and motor phenotypes. Modulating repeat mutations is one example involving antagonistic Alt-RPA↔RPA interactions, illuminating questions as to which RPA-mediated processes are also modulated by AltRPA.

BioID proximity labelling of MAP4K4 interactors in HEK-293T cells

Project description:Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 4 (MAP4K4) is Ser/Thr protein kinase highly expressed in medulloblastoma (MB) patient samples which promotes cell migration and invasiveness downstream of growth factor receptors. Although MAP4K4 implication in the control of the membrane protrusions at the leading edge of cells during migration and invasion in MB is established, its downstream effectors governing and mediating this process in MB have not been identified. In this study we explored the proteomic neighborhood of MAP4K4 in MB cells and to identify candidate potentially affecting its activity and pro-migratory functions. Towards this aim, we expressed BioID fused versions of MAP4K4(N- and C-terminal) in HEK-293T cells under presence of biotin. In the control setup, we expressed the BioID enzyme alone. After Streptavidin purification of biotinylated proteins, we performed mass spectrometry and quantified relative abundances compared to control conditions.

A commercial antibody to the human condensin II subunit NCAPH2 cross-reacts with a SWI/SNF complex component

Project description:Condensin complexes compact and disentangle chromosomes in preparation for cell division. Commercially available antibodies raised against condensin subunits have been widely used to characterise their cellular interactome. Here we have assessed the specificity of a polyclonal antibody (Bethyl A302-276A) that is commonly used as a probe for NCAPH2, the kleisin subunit of condensin II, in mammalian cells. We find that, in addition to its intended target, this antibody cross-reacts with one or more components of the SWI/SNF family of chromatin remodelling complexes in an NCAPH2-independent manner. This cross-reactivity with an abundant chromatin-associated factor is likely to affect the interpretation of protein and chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments that make use of this antibody probe.

Xrn2 substrate mapping identifies torpedo loading sites and extensive premature termination of RNA pol II transcription

Project description:The exonuclease torpedo Xrn2 loads onto nascent RNA 5’-PO4 ends and chases down pol II to promote termination downstream of polyA sites. We report that Xrn2 is recruited to pre-initiation complexes and “travels” to 3’ ends of genes. Mapping of 5’-PO4 ends in nascent RNA identified Xrn2 loading sites stabilized by an active site mutant, Xrn2(D235A). Xrn2 loading sites are ~2-20 bases downstream of where CPSF73 cleaves at polyA sites and histone 3’ ends. We propose that processing of all mRNA 3’ ends comprises cleavage and limited 5’-3’ trimming by CPSF73 followed by hand-off to Xrn2. A similar hand-off occurs at tRNA 3’ ends where co-transcriptional RNAseZ cleavage generates novel Xrn2 substrates. Exonuclease-dead Xrn2 increased transcription in 3’ flanking regions by inhibiting polyA site-dependent termination. Surprisingly, the mutant Xrn2 also rescued transcription in promoter-proximal regions to the same extent as in 3’ flanking regions. eNET-seq revealed Xrn2-mediated degradation of sense and anti-sense nascent RNA within a few bases of the TSS where 5’-PO4 ends may be generated by decapping or endonucleolytic cleavage. These results suggest that a major fraction of pol II complexes terminate prematurely close to the start site under normal conditions by an Xrn2-mediated torpedo mechanism.
