Project description:RNA-binding proteins with intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) such as Rbm14 can phase separate in vitro. To what extent the phase separation contributes to their physiological functions is however unclear. Here we show that zebrafish rbm14 regulates embryonic dorsoventral patterning through phase separation. Zebrafish rbm14 morphants displayed dorsalized phenotypes associated with attenuated BMP signaling. Consistently, depletion of mammalian Rbm14 downregulated BMP regulators and effectors Nanog, Smad4/5, and Id1/2, whereas overexpression of the BMP-related proteins in the morphants significantly restored the developmental defects. Importantly, rbm14's IDR demixed into liquid droplets in vitro despite poor sequence conservation with its mammalian counterpart. While its phase separation mutants or IDR failed to rescue the morphants, its chimeric proteins containing an IDR from other phase-separation proteins were effective. Rbm14 complexed with proteins involved in RNA metabolism and phase separated into cellular ribonucleoprotein compartments. Consistently, RNA deep sequencing analysis on the morphant embryos revealed increased alternative splicing events as well as largescale transcriptomic downregulations. Our results suggest that Rbm14 functions in ribonucleoprotein compartments through phase separation to modulate multiple aspects of RNA metabolism. Furthermore, IDRs conserve in phase separation ability but not primary sequence and can be functionally interchangeable.

Project description:The vegetal pole cytoplasm represents a crucial source of maternal dorsal determinants for patterning the dorsoventral axis of the early embryo. Removal of the vegetal yolk in the zebrafish fertilised egg before the completion of the first cleavage results in embryonic ventralisation, but removal of this part at the two-cell stage leads to embryonic dorsalisation. How this is achieved remains unknown. Here, we report a novel mode of maternal regulation of BMP signaling during dorsoventral patterning in zebrafish. We identify Vrtn as a novel vegetally localised maternal factor with dorsalising activity and rapid transport towards the animal pole region after fertilisation. Co-injection of vrtn mRNA with vegetal RNAs from different cleavage stages suggests the presence of putative vegetally localised Vrtn antagonists with slower animal pole transport. Thus, vegetal ablation at the two-cell stage could remove most of the Vrtn antagonists, and allows Vrtn to produce the dorsalising effect. Mechanistically, Vrtn binds a bmp2b regulatory sequence and acts as a repressor to inhibit its zygotic transcription. Analysis of maternal-zygotic vrtn mutants further shows that Vrtn is required to constrain excessive bmp2b expression in the margin. Our work unveils a novel maternal mechanism regulating zygotic BMP gradient in dorsoventral patterning.

Project description:Chromosome translocation is known to generate oncogenes such as SS18-SSX1, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here we show that enhanced phase separation acquired by translocation mediates oncogenic transformation. SSX fusion dramatically enhances the phase separation property of SS18 protein through H2AK119ub. Super condensates generated by SS18-SSX recruit acetyltransferases CBP/P300 as wild type SS18, but exclude HDACs such that H3K27ac accumulates abnormally at loci from those normally occupied by SS18, resulting aberrant silencing and activation of target genes. Consistently, we show that inhibition of H3K27ac can attenuate the tumorigenicity of the fusion oncoprotein. These results provide the first case for phase separation as a transforming event to generate oncogene and super phase separation can be targeted for cancer therapy.
