Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) form the sequence recognition component of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), bringing Argonaute (AGO) and other RISC-associated proteins to target transcripts where they mediate post-transcriptional gene silencing. High-throughput sequencing has helped to catalogue several thousand human miRNAs, as well as a plethora of other small RNAs derived from larger transcripts. Here, we take a closer inspection of sequencing data derived from cellular fractionation and AGO-RNA immunoprecipitation and find that a subset of small RNAs, despite being denoted as miRNAs, are in fact almost exclusively nuclear and do not associate with AGO. Experimental validation of a select number of these small RNAs also fails to show endogenous miRNA-like activity, suggesting they are degradation products from larger transcripts that have been mis-annotated. Despite this, the presumed miRNA functions of almost 20 of these have collectively been the subject of several hundred publications, emphasising the need to filter unlikely miRNA candidates from sequencing data and large miRNA-sequence repositories.

Project description:It is commonly known that mammalian microRNAs guide the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to target mRNAs through the seed-pairing rule. However, recent experiments by co-immunoprecipitating the argonaute proteins (AGOs), the central catalytic component of RISC, have consistently revealed extensive AGO-associated mRNAs lacking seed complementarity with microRNAs. We herein test the hypothesis that AGO has its own binding preference within target mRNAs, independent of guide microRNAs. By systematically analyzing the data from in vivo cross-linking experiments with human AGOs, we have identified a structurally accessible and evolutionarily conserved region (~10 nucleotides) that alone can accurately predict AGO-mRNA associations, independent of the presence of microRNA binding sites. Within this region, we further identified an enriched motif that is also consistently present in several independent AGO-immunoprecipitation datasets. We used RNAcompete to enumerate the RNA-binding preference of human AGO2 to all possible 7-mer RNA sequences, and validated our motif in vitro. These findings reveal a novel function of AGOs as sequence-specific RNA-binding proteins, which may aid microRNAs in recognizing their targets with high specificity. Here, we analyze the RNA-binding preference of human Argonaute 2 protein using RNAcompete assay
