Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNA) associate with Argonaute proteins and negatively regulate gene expression by base pairing with complementary sequences in the 3’ UTRs of target genes. De novo coding variants in the human Argonaute gene AGO1 were reported to cause neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) with intellectual disability (ID). Most of the altered amino acids are conserved between the miRNA associated Argonautes in H. sapiens and C. elegans, suggesting that the human AGO1 mutations could disrupt evolutionarily conserved functions in miRNA biogenesis or target repression. We genetically modeled four human AGO1 mutations in C. elegans by introducing identical mutations into the C. elegans AGO1 homolog, ALG-1. These alg-1 NDD mutations caused phenotypes in C. elegans indicative of disrupted miRNA processing, miRISC formation, and/or target repression. We show that the alg-1 NDD mutations are antimorphic as they cause developmental and molecular phenotypes stronger than those exhibited by the alg-1 null mutants, likely by sequestrating functional miRNA silencing complex (miRISC) components into non-functional complexes that fail to confer robust gene repression. The alg-1 NDD mutations cause allele-specific disruptions in mature miRNA profiles, both in overall abundances and ALG-1 NDD association, accompanied by perturbation of downstream gene expression, including altered translational efficiency and/or mRNA abundance. The perturbed genes include those with human orthologs whose dysfunction is associated with NDD. These cross-clade genetic studies illuminate fundamental Argonaute functions and provide insights into the conservation of miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNA) associate with Argonaute (AGO) proteins and repress gene expression by base pairing to sequences in the 3' untranslated regions of target genes. De novo coding variants in the human AGO genes AGO1 and AGO2 cause neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) with intellectual disability, referred to as Argonaute syndromes. Most of the altered amino acids are conserved between the miRNA-associated AGO in Homo sapiens and Caenorhabditis elegans, suggesting that the human mutations could disrupt conserved functions in miRNA biogenesis or activity. We genetically modeled four human AGO1 mutations in C. elegans by introducing identical mutations into the C. elegans AGO1 homologous gene, alg-1. These alg-1 NDD mutations cause phenotypes in C. elegans indicative of disrupted miRNA processing, miRISC (miRNA silencing complex) formation, and/or target repression. We show that the alg-1 NDD mutations are antimorphic, causing developmental and molecular phenotypes stronger than those of alg-1 null mutants, likely by sequestrating functional miRISC components into non-functional complexes. The alg-1 NDD mutations cause allele-specific disruptions in mature miRNA profiles, accompanied by perturbation of downstream gene expression, including altered translational efficiency and/or messenger RNA abundance. The perturbed genes include those with human orthologs whose dysfunction is associated with NDD. These cross-clade genetic studies illuminate fundamental AGO functions and provide insights into the conservation of miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms.

Project description:MicroRNAs are regulators of gene expression whose functions are critical for normal development and physiology. We have previously characterized mutations in a Caenorhabditis elegans microRNA-specific Argonaute ALG-1 (Argonaute-like gene) that are antimorphic [alg-1(anti)]. alg-1(anti) mutants have dramatically stronger microRNA-related phenotypes than animals with a complete loss of ALG-1. ALG-1(anti) miRISC (microRNA induced silencing complex) fails to undergo a functional transition from microRNA processing to target repression. To better understand this transition, we characterized the small RNA population associated with ALG-1(anti) complexes in vivo. alg-1(anti) mutants dramatically overaccumulated microRNA* (passenger) strands, and immunoprecipitated ALG-1(anti) complexes contained nonstoichiometric yields of mature microRNA and microRNA* strands, with some microRNA* strands present in the ALG-1(anti) Argonaute far in excess of the corresponding mature microRNAs. We show complex and microRNA-specific defects in microRNA strand selection and microRNA* strand disposal. For certain microRNAs (for example mir-58), microRNA guide strand selection by ALG-1(anti) appeared normal, but microRNA* strand release was inefficient. For other microRNAs (such as mir-2), both the microRNA and microRNA* strands were selected as guide by ALG-1(anti), indicating a defect in normal specificity of the strand choice. Our results suggest that wild-type ALG-1 complexes recognize structural features of particular microRNAs in the context of conducting the strand selection and microRNA* ejection steps of miRISC maturation. Deep-sequencing was performed on cDNA libraries made from total RNA and RNA immunoprecipitated with ALG-1 from mixed-staged populations of three strains: three biological replicates from wild-type animals and two biological replicates each from alg-1(ma192) and alg-1(ma202) mutant animals. In addition, deep-sequencing was performed on cDNA libraries made from L2-staged total RNA in two biological replicates from wildtype and alg-1(ma202) animals and one biological replicate of alg-1(ma192).
