Project description:Precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing is catalyzed by the spliceosome, a highly dynamic machinery with sequentially assembled small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) and splicing factors. Aberrant spliceosome composition and function result in the dysregulation of pre-mRNA alternative splicing, which may cause cellular stresses and diseases such as cancer. Here, we identify a splicing factor, E2F-associated phosphoprotein (EAPP), that directly binds to the U4/U6. U5 tri-snRNP and PRPF19 complex. Notably, the C-terminal “bucket” domain in EAPP composed of several beta-sheets is required for its interaction with the tri-snRNP. EAPP is prominently located at Cajal bodies within the nucleus where it colocalizes with the spliceosome. Loss of EAPP impedes the assembly and homeostasis of the tri-snRNP complex in Cajal bodies and increases the frequency of splicing abnormalities, mostly exon skipping. Moreover, EAPP depletion promotes MDM4 exon 6 skipping, which suppresses cell growth and tumor progression via p53 overactivation. Our study demonstrates a previously uncharacterized function of EAPP in spliceosome regulation and reveals that EAPP-mediated alternative splicing of MDM4 is a critical determinant of cell fate and tumor growth.

Project description:Defects in the splicing machinery have been implicated in various diseases, including cancer. We identified a general reduction in the expression spliceosome components and splicing regulators in human cell lines undergoing replicative, stress-induced and telomere uncapping-induced senescence. Supporting the notion that defective splicing contributes to senescence, we showed that the splicing inhibitors herboxidiene and pladienolide B induce senescence both in normal and cancer cell lines. Furthermore, the individual depletion of several spliceosome components also promoted senescence. We noted an alternative splicing shift in MDM4, from the full-length MDM4-FL variant to MDM4-S during replicative and stress-induced senescence. This shift was replicated by splicing inhibition and the depletion of individual spliceosome components. Importantly, decreasing the level of MDM4-FL promoted senescence, while cell survival was improved both by reducing the level of MDM4-FL and by overexpressing MDM4-S. Overall, our work establishes that defects in the splicing machinery alter the alternative splicing of MDM4 to promote senescence.

Project description:The spliceosome is a dynamic RNA-protein complex that executes pre-mRNA splicing and is composed of five core small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (U1, U2, U4/5/6 snRNP) and >150 additional proteins specific for each snRNP. We report a circadian role for Pre-mRNA Processing factor 4 (PRP4), a conserved component of the spliceosomal U4/U6.U5 triple small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (tri-snRNP) complex. We broadly hypothesized that downregulation of prp4 led to the aberrant splicing of one or many of the core clock transcripts. To identify these splicing events in an unbiased way, we performed RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis. We reasoned that we could have a more targeted approach if we could zoom in on the overlapping splicing changes that would be driven by the knockdown of at least two different tri-snRNP components. Because the pan-neuronal knockdown of all tri-snRNP components tested in our study led to lethality, we decided to utilize an alternative broad driver. For that purpose, we selected a strong eye-specific Glass Multiple Promoter driver (GMR-Gal4). Because most of the signal from head lysates comes directly from the eye tissue and because the core splicing factors are ubiquitously expressed, GMR-specific downregulation of prp4 and prp8 promised to be a viable alternative to the pan-neuronal knockdown. We examined changes in both the total transcript levels and splicing events upon prp4 knockdown in the eye. The overall gene expression seemed to be dramatically influenced by prp4 downregulation (433 DOWN, 310 UP at FDR < 0.05). Despite the fact that PRP4 is a component of the core spliceosome that is required for constitutive exon splicing, we did not detect dramatic effects on global splicing. Only 45 genes exhibited differential alternate splicing upon prp4 downregulation at FDR < 0.05).

Project description:Splicing is catalyzed by the spliceosome, a compositionally dynamic complex assembled stepwise on pre-mRNA. We reveal links between splicing machinery components and the intrinsically disordered ciliopathy protein SANS. Pathogenic mutations in SANS/USH1G lead to Usher syndrome––the most common cause of deaf-blindness. Previously, SANS was shown to function only in the cytosol and primary cilia. Here, we have uncovered molecular links between SANS and pre-mRNA splicing catalyzed by the spliceosome in the nucleus. We show that SANS is found in Cajal bodies and nuclear speckles, where it interacts with components of spliceosomal subcomplexes such as SF3B1 and the large splicing cofactor SON but also with PRPFs and snRNAs related to the tri-snRNP complex. SANS is required for the transfer of tri-snRNPs between Cajal bodies and nuclear speckles for spliceosome assembly and may also participate in snRNP recycling back to Cajal bodies. SANS depletion alters the kinetics of spliceosome assembly, leading to accumulation of complex A. SANS deficiency and USH1G pathogenic mutations affects splicing of genes related to cell proliferation and USH. Thus, we provide the first evidence that splicing dysregulation may participate in the pathophysiology of Usher syndrome.

Project description:RNA-seq analysis of Drosophila snRNP biogenesis mutants. In brief, the Phax and Ars2 mutant RNA-seq was used in combination with Series GSE49587 (Smn mutant and wild-type Oregon-R RNA-seq) to classify transcriptome changes as snRNP-dependent or mutant specific. Additional flies with Smn transgenes, containing Smn mutations that cause Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) in humans, were then used to determine whether the snRNP-dependent or mutant specific changes were present in intermediate models of SMA.

Project description:U5 snRNP is a complex particle essential for RNA splicing. U5 snRNPs undergo an intricate biogenesis that ensures that only a fully mature particle assembles into a splicing competent U4/U6•U5 tri-snRNP and enters the splicing reaction. During splicing, U5 snRNP is substantially rearranged and leaves as a U5/PRPF19 post-splicing particle, which requires re-generation before a next round of splicing. Here, we show that a previously uncharacterized protein TSSC4 is a new component of U5 snRNP that promotes tri-snRNP formation. We provide evidence that TSSC4 associates with U5 snRNP chaperones, U5 snRNP and the U5/PRPF19 particle. Specifically, TSSC4 interacts with U5-specific proteins PRPF8, EFTUD2 and SNRNP200. We also identified TSSC4 domains critical for the interaction with U5 snRNP and the PRPF19 complex, as well as for TSSC4 function in tri-snRNP assembly. TSSC4 emerges as a specific chaperone that acts in U5 snRNP de novo biogenesis as well as post-splicing recycling.

Project description:Background: The expression of MDM4, a well-known p53-inhibitor, is positively associated with chemotherapy response and overall survival in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The basis of this association remains elusive. Since the occurrence of metastasis is one of the factors responsible for the high death rate of this cancer, we analyzed MDM4 involvement in EOC metastatic process. Methods: In vivo and in vitro models, based on 2D and 3D assays, were employed to assess the activity of MDM4 in ovarian cancer progression. A 3D-bioprinting co-culture system was ad hoc developed for this study. Proteomic analysis was conducted on 3D multicellular tumour spheroids to assess pathways triggered by MDM4 overexpression. Results: In mouse models, increased MDM4 reduced intraperitoneal dissemination of human and murine EOC cells, independently of p53 and in a cell-autonomous way. Consistently, high MDM4 correlates with increased overall survival probability in large public data sets. 2D and 3D assays indicated that MDM4 impairs the early steps of the metastatic process. The 3D-bioprinting co-culture system showed reduced dissemination and intravasation into vessel-like structures of MDM4-expressing cells. Proteomic analysis of EOC spheroids revealed that MDM4 reduces protein synthesis and decreases mTOR signaling. Accordingly, MDM4 did not further inhibit EOC cell migration when its activity towards mTOR is blocked genetically or pharmacologically. Conversely, increased MDM4 reduced the efficacy of mTOR inhibitors in constraining EOC cell migration. Conclusions: Overall, these data clarify the antagonism of MDM4 towards EOC progression and suggest the usefulness of MDM4 assessment for tailored application of mTOR targeted therapy.
