Systematic functional interrogation of human pseudogenes

Project description:Human genome encodes >14,000 pseudogenes that are evolutionary relics and have long been considered as nonfunctional genomic elements. Emerging evidence suggests that pseudogene can exert important regulatory function. However, function of most pseudogenes remains unknown. To fill this gap, we developed an integrated computational pipeline and performed to date the first set of pseudogene-focused CRISPRi screens in human cells. Our screens identified >100 pseudogenes that are important for cell fitness, with a more cell-type specific function compared to parent genes. In addition, we discovered a cancer-testis unitary pseudogene MGAT4EP that interacts with FOXA1, a key regulator in luminal A breast cancer.

Systematic functional interrogation of human pseudogenes using CRISPRi.

Project description:BackgroundThe human genome encodes over 14,000 pseudogenes that are evolutionary relics of protein-coding genes and commonly considered as nonfunctional. Emerging evidence suggests that some pseudogenes may exert important functions. However, to what extent human pseudogenes are functionally relevant remains unclear. There has been no large-scale characterization of pseudogene function because of technical challenges, including high sequence similarity between pseudogene and parent genes, and poor annotation of transcription start sites.ResultsTo overcome these technical obstacles, we develop an integrated computational pipeline to design the first genome-wide library of CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) that target human pseudogene promoter-proximal regions. We perform the first pseudogene-focused CRISPRi screen in luminal A breast cancer cells and reveal approximately 70 pseudogenes that affect breast cancer cell fitness. Among the top hits, we identify a cancer-testis unitary pseudogene, MGAT4EP, that is predominantly localized in the nucleus and interacts with FOXA1, a key regulator in luminal A breast cancer. By enhancing the promoter binding of FOXA1, MGAT4EP upregulates the expression of oncogenic transcription factor FOXM1. Integrative analyses of multi-omic data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) reveal many unitary pseudogenes whose expressions are significantly dysregulated and/or associated with overall/relapse-free survival of patients in diverse cancer types.ConclusionsOur study represents the first large-scale study characterizing pseudogene function. Our findings suggest the importance of nuclear function of unitary pseudogenes and underscore their underappreciated roles in human diseases. The functional genomic resources developed here will greatly facilitate the study of human pseudogene function.

Long-read cDNA sequencing identifies functional pseudogenes in the human transcriptome

Project description:Pseudogenes are gene copies presumed to mainly be functionless relics of evolution due to acquired deleterious mutations or transcriptional silencing. When transcribed, pseudogenes may encode proteins or enact RNA-intrinsic regulatory mechanisms. However, the extent, characteristics and functional relevance of the human pseudogene transcriptome are unclear. Short-read sequencing platforms have limited power to resolve and accurately quantify pseudogene transcripts owing to the high sequence similarity of pseudogenes and their parent genes. Using deep full-length PacBio cDNA sequencing of normal human tissues and cancer cell lines, we identify here hundreds of novel transcribed pseudogenes. Pseudogene transcripts are expressed in tissue-specific patterns, exhibit complex splicing patterns and contribute to the coding sequences of known genes. We survey pseudogene transcripts encoding intact open reading frames (ORFs), representing potential unannotated protein-coding genes, and demonstrate their efficient translation in cultured cells. To assess the impact of noncoding pseudogenes on the cellular transcriptome, we delete the nucleus-enriched pseudogene PDCL3P4 transcript from HAP1 cells and observe hundreds of perturbed genes. This study highlights pseudogenes as a complex and dynamic component of the transcriptional landscape underpinning human biology and disease.

Hybrid sequencing characterizes expression and function of mouse pseudogenes

Project description:Pseudogenes are defined as regions of the genome that resemble functional genes but contain disabling mutations and lack regulatory elements needed for transcription or translation. They are excellent markers for genome evolution and are emerging as crucial regulators of the development and disease, especially cancer. However, systematic functional characterization and evolution of pseudogene remain largely unexplored. In particular, the contribution of pseudogene to organ development is still unknown. Meanwhile, studies of pseudogene transcription, which is the first step for generating functional RNA, is precluded by the limited capacity of short-read sequencing. To address these issues, we systematically inferred the origin time and characterized the evolution pattern of pseudogenes. We leveraged PacBio full-length sequencing in combination with deep Illumina data as well as public developmental time-course RNA-seq, we dramatically expanded the analyzed samples and profiled genome-wide pseudogene expression paradigm. Additionally, we prioritized functional pseudogenes at multiple regulatory layers and determined their implications in disease and cancer biology.
