Project description:In eukaryotes, small RNAs (sRNAs) play critical roles in multiple biological processes. Dicer endonucleases are central to sRNA biogenesis. In plants, DICER-LIKE PROTEIN 3 (DCL3) produces 24-nt small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that determine the specificity of the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway. Here, we determined structure of a DCL3-pre-siRNA complex in an active dicing-competent state. The 5′-phosphorylated-A1 of the guide strand and the 1-nt 3′-overhang of the complementary strand are specifically recognized by a positively charged pocket and an aromatic cap, respectively. The 24-nt siRNA length dependence relies on the separation between the 5′-phosphorylated-end of the guide RNA and dual cleavage sites formed by the paired RNaseIII domains. These structural studies, complemented by functional data, reveal insights into the dicing principle for Dicers in general.

Project description:Dicer plays a key role in small RNA biogenesis by processing double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). Human DICER (hDICER) is specialized in processing of small hairpins such as pre-microRNAs (pre-miRNAs) with a limited activity towards long dsRNAs, unlike its homologs in lower eukaryotes and plants which cleave long dsRNAs. While the mechanism of long dsRNA cleavage has been well documented, our understanding of pre-miRNA processing is limited due to lack of the structure of hDICER in a catalytic state. Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of hDICER bound to pre-miRNA in a dicing state, uncovering the structural basis for pre-miRNA processing.

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:Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are the key components for RNA interference (RNAi), a conserved RNA silencing mechanism in many eukaryotes. In Drosophila, an RNase III enzyme Dicer-2 (Dcr-2), aided by its cofactor Loquacious-PD (Loqs-PD), plays major role in generating 21 base-pair (bp) siRNA duplexes from long double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). The ATP hydrolysis by the helicase domain of Dcr-2 is critical to the successful processing of a long dsRNA into consecutive siRNA duplexes. Here we report the cryo-EM structures of Dcr-2/Loqs-PD in the apo state and in multiple processing states of a 50-bp dsRNA substrate. The structures elucidated interactions between Dcr-2 and Loqs-PD, and significant conformational changes of Dcr-2 during a dsRNA processing cycle. The N-terminal helicase and DUF283 domains undergo conformational change upon initial dsRNA binding, forming an ATP binding pocket and a 5’-phosphate binding pocket. The overall conformation of Dcr-2/Loqs-PD is relatively rigid during translocating along the dsRNA in the presence of ATP, while the interaction between DUF283 and RIIIDb domains prevents non-specific cleavage during translocation by blocking the access of dsRNA to the RNase active center. Additional ATP-dependent conformational changes are required to form an active-dicing state and precisely cleave the dsRNA into 21-bp siRNA duplex confirmed by the structure in the post-dicing state. Collectively, this study revealed the molecular mechanism for the full-cycle of ATP-dependent dsRNA processing by Dcr-2/Loqs-PD.

Project description:The function and mechanism of the interferon-regulated antiviral responses have been extensively characterized. Recent studies have demonstrated induction of antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) in somatic cells against several mammalian RNA viruses rendered incapable of RNAi suppression. However, little is known about Dicer-mediated production of virus-derived small-interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) in these cells active in the type I interferon response. Here we show that the dsRNA precursors of influenza vsiRNAs were processed more efficiently than cellular precursor microRNA hairpins by wild-type human Dicer expressed de novo in Dicer-knockout somatic cells. We found that infection of two strains of suckling mice with wild-type Nodamura virus (NoV) was associated with production of silencing-active vsiRNAs and direct sequestration of duplex vsiRNAs by its RNAi suppressor protein B2. Our findings from in vivo infection with Sindbis virus recombinants expressing NoV B2 or carrying a vsiRNA-targeted insert provide evidence for an antiviral function of the induced RNAi response. Interestingly, NoV infection induces expression of RIG-I-like receptor LGP2 to inhibit vsiRNA biogenesis and promote virulent infection in suckling mice. Our findings together reveal efficient Dicer processing of vsiRNA precursors in interferon-competent somatic cells and suckling mice in contrast to synthetic long dsRNA examined previously by in vitro dicing.
