Project description:The La-related protein LARP7 has been mainly described as a component of the 7SK small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) complex, which negatively regulates RNA polymerase II by sequestering the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb). In our studies, we discovered a novel, 7SK snRNP-independent function of LARP7. We show that LARP7 interacts with the U6 spliceosomal RNA as well as with the small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) directing the 2'-O-methylations of U6. To investigate the relevance of this interaction, U6 or U2 snRNAs were purified from total RNA by pulldown of biotinylated antisense oligonucleotides and the occurence of 2’-O-methylations was investigated by RiboMeth-seq analysis. A comparison between U6 and U2 snRNA isolated from HEK293 wildtype or LARP7 knockout cell lines revealed that 2’-O-methylations of the U6 snRNA are specifically lost in the absence of LARP7. Alazami syndrome is a form of primary dwarfism associated with mutations in the LARP7 gene. RiboMeth-seq analyses performed with RNA isolated from blood samples of two Alazami patients or healthy parents as well as from B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCLs) derived from an Alazami patient and from a healthy parent confirmed the impact of mutant LARP7 protein variants on the 2’-O-methylation profile of the U6 snRNA.

Project description:Spliceosomes catalyze the maturation of precursor mRNAs in organisms ranging from yeast to humans. Their catalytic core comprises three small nuclear RNAs (U2, U5 and U6) involved in substrate positioning and catalysis. It has been postulated, but never shown experimentally, that the U2-U6 complex adopts at least two conformations that reflect different activation states. We have used single-molecule fluorescence to probe the structural dynamics of a protein-free RNA complex modeling U2-U6 from yeast and mutants of highly conserved regions of U2-U6. Our data show the presence of at least three distinct conformations in equilibrium. The minimal folding pathway consists of a two-step process with an obligatory intermediate. The first step is strongly magnesium dependent, and we provide evidence suggesting that the second step corresponds to the formation of the genetically conserved helix IB. Site-specific mutations in the highly conserved AGC triad and the U80 base in U6 suggest that the observed conformational dynamics correlate with residues that have an important role in splicing.

Project description:Mpn1 proteins are evolutionarily conserved exonucleases that modify spliceosomal U6 small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) post-transcriptionally. Mutations in the human MPN1 gene are associated to the genodermatosis Clericuzio-type poikiloderma with neutropenia (PN). Mpn1 deficiency leads to aberrant U6 3M-bM-^@M-^Y end processing and accelerated U6 decay through unknown molecular mechanisms. Here we show that in mpn1M-NM-^T fission yeast cells U6 is barely bound by the protective Lsm2-8 complex, undergoes extensive oligoadenylation and is degraded by the nuclear RNA exonuclease Rrp6 independently of the poly(A) polymerase Cid14/Trf4. Mpn1 processes U6 in a spliceosome-dependent manner, as mutant U6 molecules that fail to join the spliceosome are not substrates for Mpn1. Moreover, human U6atac, the U6-like snRNA of the minor spliceosome, is a novel substrate for hMpn1. We unveil mechanistic details of a new U6 degradation pathway and further corroborate the notion that inefficient canonical and minor pre-mRNA splicing promotes PN. the 3' termini of U6 or tagged-U6 species from the indicated mutant cells were compared to wt yeast strain

Project description:In this study we investigated snRNA-mediated modulation of pre-mRNA splicing across the human transcriptome. We first quantified the relative abundance of snRNAs across a comprehensive range of healthy adult and fetal tissues, revealing a surprising variation in the relative snRNA levels both inter- and intra-tissue. To study the role of snRNAs in cancer-relevant splicing, we used breast cancer as a model, since it exhibits a high rate of aberrant splicing48, but a low frequency of mutations in the splicing machinery52. We observed fluctuations in snRNA adundance across the majority of patients, across all breast cancer subtypes. To investigate the impact of snRNA levels using a controlled system, we knocked down snRNAs in vitro, to analyze splicing both transcriptome-wide and at the level of individual exons and introns. Depletion of each specific snRNA resulted in differential splicing across more than a thousand exon junctions within mRNA transcripts. Knock-down of U1 and U2 levels was primarily associated with changes in exon inclusion rates, whereas U4 and U6 depletion predominantly caused incomplete intron removal and a resulting retention of introns in the mature mRNA. Rather than being driven by a single factor, the observed splicing changes were associated with multiple other splicing-relevant features and mechanisms, including mRNA transcription, intron size, and nucleotide composition. The snRNA-mediated changes to the splicing program were enriched within genes encoding components of core cellular pathways and processes, including multiple aspects of RNA and protein metabolism, and thereby have the potential to impact cell growth and identity. The exons and introns that were sensitive to snRNA levels displayed a high variability in splicing in vivo across primary breast cancer samples, indicating that snRNA dysregulation may contribute to aberrant splicing in cancer. We suggest that the cellular composition of snRNAs constitutes a previously unrecognized layer of splicing regulation within the cell, and that variations or disruptions in the relative abundance of the snRNAs can affect the transcriptome of both healthy and malignant cells.

Project description:The U2/U6 snRNA complex is a conserved and essential component of the active spliceosome that interacts with the pre-mRNA substrate and essential protein splicing factors to promote splicing catalysis. Here we have elucidated the solution structure of a 111-nucleotide U2/U6 complex using an approach that integrates SAXS, NMR, and molecular modeling. The U2/U6 structure contains a three-helix junction that forms an extended "Y" shape. The U6 internal stem-loop (ISL) forms a continuous stack with U2/U6 Helices Ib, Ia, and III. The coaxial stacking of Helix Ib on the U6 ISL is a configuration that is similar to the Domain V structure in group II introns. Interestingly, essential features of the complex--including the U80 metal binding site, AGC triad, and pre-mRNA recognition sites--localize to one face of the molecule. This observation suggests that the U2/U6 structure is well-suited for orienting substrate and cofactors during splicing catalysis.

Project description:Here, we report the genome-wide analysis of snRNAs that are bound to Gemin5 upon protein synthesis inhibition. Upon protein synthesis inhibition, the SMN complex that has a crucial role in the biogenesis of snRNPs dissociates into its subunits, leaving Gemin5 alone. The existence of these subunits was confirmed using a proteomics approach. As Gemin5 has been previously reported to be the RNA-binding protein of the SMN complex, we obtained the sequence of all Gemin5 immunoprecipitated snRNAs. We found that snRNAs that were accumulated on Gemin5 contained extra genomic sequences at the 3'-end. We were thus able to identify novel precursors of all the snRNAs that have not been identified previously. This study also provides a detailed method for the characterization of in vivo captured RNPs using a ribo-proteomics approach.
