Project description:Drosophila Dicer-1 produces microRNAs (miRNAs) from pre-miRNA, whereas Dicer-2 generates small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from long dsRNA. loquacious (loqs) encodes three Dicer partner proteins, Loqs-PA, Loqs-PB, and, Loqs-PD, generated by alternative splicing. To understand the function of each Loqs isoform, we constructed loqs isoform-specific rescue flies. Loqs-PD promotes siRNA production in vivo by Dicer-2. Loqs-PA or Loqs-PB is required for viability, but the proteins are not fully redundant: Loqs-PB is required to produce a specific subset of miRNAs. Surprisingly, Loqs-PB tunes the product size cleaved by Dicer-1 from pre-miR-307a, generating a longer miRNA isoform with a distinct seed sequence and target specificity. The mouse and human Dicer-binding partner TRBP, a homolog of Loqs-PB, similarly tunes the site of pre-miR-132 cleavage by mammalian Dicer. Thus, Dicer-binding partner proteins can change the choice of cleavage site by Dicer, producing miRNAs with different target specificities than those that would be made by Dicer alone.

Project description:Drosophila Dicer-1 produces microRNAs (miRNAs) from pre-miRNA, whereas Dicer-2 generates small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from long dsRNA. Alternative splicing of the loquacious (loqs) mRNA generates three distinct Dicer partner proteins. To understand the function of each, we constructed flies expressing Loqs-PA, Loqs-PB, or Loqs-PD. Loqs-PD promotes both endo- and exo-siRNA production by Dicer-2. Loqs-PA or Loqs-PB is required for viability, but the proteins are not fully redundant: a specific subset of miRNAs requires Loqs-PB. Surprisingly, Loqs-PB tunes where Dicer-1 cleaves pre-miR-307a, generating a longer miRNA isoform with a distinct seed sequence and target specificity. The longer form of miR-307a represses glycerol kinase and taranis mRNA expression. The mammalian Dicer-partner TRBP, a Loqs-PB homolog, similarly tunes where Dicer cleaves pre-miR-132. Thus, Dicer-binding partner proteins change the choice of cleavage site by Dicer, producing miRNAs with target specificities different from those made by Dicer alone or Dicer bound to alternative protein partners.

Project description:DICER has a well-characterized role in the processing of microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNA) that are important for post-transcriptional gene regulation. Emerging evidence suggests that DICER also has several non-canonical functions beyond miRNA/siRNA biogenesis, for example in transcriptional gene silencing at the chromatin level, as well as in RNA degradation and maintenance of genomic integrity. We have shown that the function of DICER in germ cells is essential for normal spermatogenesis; male mice lacking DICER in postnatal male germ cells are infertile due to severe defects in haploid differentiation. To better understand the function of DICER in male germ cells, we immunoprecipitated DICER from juvenile mouse testes and performed mass spectrometric analysis to identify DICER-interacting proteins.

Project description:The role of RNA silencing as a defense mechanism against viruses remains to be formerly established in mammalian somatic cells. Here, we determined the antiviral properties of human and Drosophila Dicer proteins in a heterologous setup. We expressed human Dicer (hDicer) in Drosophila, and Drosophila Dicer-2 in human cells, and measured the impact on the response to Sindbis virus (SINV) infection. In flies, hDicer presents a low processing activity, but partially rescues a Dcr2 null mutation in flies. Expression of Dicer-2 in HEK293 cells allows the processing of SINV RNA into 21-nt-long small RNAs. Nevertheless, instead of conferring a protective effect against SINV, Dicer-2 expression increases viral replication in HEK293 cells. We present evidence that this effect is due to a competition with the interferon pathway. Our results therefore suggest that adding functionial RNA silencing machinery in IFN-competent differentiated mammalian cells can be detrimental for antiviral defense.

Project description:RNA interference (RNAi) is a cell-intrinsic antiviral defense conserved in diverse organisms. However, the mechanism by which mammalian antiviral RNAi is regulated is largely unknown. Herein, we uncover that STUB1, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, interacts with and ubiquitinates AGO2, the core component of RNAi pathway, resulting in the degradation of AGO2 via ubiquitin-proteasome system. Additionally, STUB1 can induce the degradation of the other mammalian AGO proteins including AGO1, AGO3, and AGO4. Our further study reveals that STUB1 also interacts with and mediates the ubiquitination of Dicer, the endoribonuclease responsible for siRNA or miRNA biogenesis, via K48-linked poly-ubiquitin, which induces the degradation of Dicer and its specialized form, termed antiviral Dicer (aviDicer) that usually expresses in stem cells. Loss of STUB1 upregulated Dicer and AGO2, thereby enhancing antiviral RNAi to effectively inhibit viral RNA replication in mammalian cells. In vivo, the STUB1 deficiency markedly enhanced the production of virus-derived siRNAs and elicited a potent antiviral effect against Enterovirus-A71 (EV-A71) infection in newborn mouse. Our findings demonstrate STUB1 as a novel negative regulator of RNAi by mediating the ubiquitination and degradation of Dicer and AGO proteins, and provide novel insights into the regulatory mechanism of antiviral RNAi in mammals.
