Project description:Recent proteome and transcriptome profiling of Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains reveals RNA splicing dysfunction and U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) pathology containing U1-70K and its N-terminal 40-KDa fragment (N40K). Here we present a causative role of U1 snRNP dysfunction to neurodegeneration in primary neurons and transgenic mice (N40K-Tg), in which N40K expression exerts a dominant-negative effect to downregulate full-length U1-70K. N40K-Tg recapitulates N40K insolubility, neuronal degeneration, cognitive impairment, and erroneous splicing events in synaptic pathways.

Project description:Transcription of the mammalian genome is pervasive, but productive transcription outside of protein-coding genes is limited by unknown mechanisms. In particular, although RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) initiates divergently from most active gene promoters, productive elongation occurs primarily in the sense-coding direction. Here we show in mouse embryonic stem cells that asymmetric sequence determinants flanking gene transcription start sites control promoter directionality by regulating promoter-proximal cleavage and polyadenylation. We find that upstream antisense RNAs are cleaved and polyadenylated at poly(A) sites (PASs) shortly after initiation. De novo motif analysis shows PAS signals and U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) recognition sites to be the most depleted and enriched sequences, respectively, in the sense direction relative to the upstream antisense direction. These U1 snRNP sites and PAS sites are progressively gained and lost, respectively, at the 5' end of coding genes during vertebrate evolution. Functional disruption of U1 snRNP activity results in a dramatic increase in promoter-proximal cleavage events in the sense direction with slight increases in the antisense direction. These data suggest that a U1-PAS axis characterized by low U1 snRNP recognition and a high density of PASs in the upstream antisense region reinforces promoter directionality by promoting early termination in upstream antisense regions, whereas proximal sense PAS signals are suppressed by U1 snRNP. We propose that the U1-PAS axis limits pervasive transcription throughout the genome. 3' end sequencing of poly (A) + RNAs in mouse ES cells with and without U1 snRNP inhibition using antisense morpholino oligonucleotides (AMO).

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) displays progressive cognitive decline that is associated with protein ß-amyloid and tau aggregation, but the causative mechanisms are not fully understood. Recent proteomics profiling has identified, in sporadic and familial cases, a tangle-like pathology of U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complex (snRNP), containing U1-70K and its N-terminal cleavage product (N40K), with RNA splicing alteration. To determine whether U1 snRNP dysfunction may play a causative role in AD, we generate a transgenic mouse model (N40K-Tg) by neuronal expression of N40K. Deep transcriptomic analysis of N40K-Tg mice was performed to evaluate intron-retaining mRNAs. Tissue was extracted from hippocampus at three month and twelve month comparing N40K-Tg vs WT mice.

Project description:Synaptic activity induces well-known changes in enhancer-promoter driven gene expression but also induces changes in splicing and polyadenylation that are understudied. Here, we investigate the mechanism of expression for alternative polyadenylation isoform Homer1a, an immediate early gene essential to synaptic plasticity. We report that neuronal activation, in neuronal cultures and in adult mouse brain, depletes the splice factor U1 snRNP from Homer1 pre-mRNA and that this causes shifted utilization of a cryptic polyadenylation signal within intron 5 resulting in Homer1a expression. Because U1 snRNP is a ubiquitous splice factor, we tested the generality of activity-driven U1 snRNP depletion as a mechanism for gene expression using RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing. Analysis reveals that neuronal activity changes U1 snRNP binding to ~2000 transcripts and for a subset of transcripts, a reduction in U1 snRNP binding was accompanied by utilization of a cryptic intronic polyadenylation site. This subset is enriched for transcripts encoding synaptic proteins involved in excitability control. Genes demonstrating activity-dependent reduced U1 snRNP binding often encode a binding motif for Sam68, a neuronal alternative polyadenylation factor. Findings reveal that activity-driven changes in intron utilization for transcript termination serves an important role in synaptic plasticity.

Project description:Pervasive transcription in the mammalian genome produces thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and promoter- or enhancer-associated unstable transcripts. They preferentially locate to chromatin, at which some regulate chromatin structure, transcription and RNA processing. While several RNA sequences responsible for nuclear localization have been identified, such as repeats in the lncRNA Xist and Alu-like elements for long RNAs, how lncRNAs as a class are enriched on chromatin remains elusive. To screen for cis-elements that contribute to RNA-chromatin localization, we developed a high-throughput method named RNA elements for subcellular localization by sequencing (REL-seq), and discovered a U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP)-recognition motif being critical for chromatin localization of reporter RNAs. Across the genome, chromatin-bound lncRNAs, which are enriched with 5’ splice sites and depleted of 3’ splice sites, exhibit high levels of U1 snRNA binding compared to cytoplasm-localized protein-coding mRNAs. Acute depletion of U1 snRNA, or U1 snRNP protein component SNRNP70, drastically reduces the chromatin association of hundreds of lncRNAs and unstable transcripts without altering the overall transcription rate in cells. In addition, rapid degradation of SNRNP70 reduces the localization of both nascent and polyadenylated lncRNA transcripts to chromatin, and disrupts the nuclear-speckles and genome-wide localization of Malat1, a highly conserved and abundant lncRNA. Moreover, chromatin-bound U1 snRNP interacts with transcriptionally engaged RNA polymerase (Pol) II. Together, these results demonstrate that U1 snRNP acts widely to tether and mobilize lncRNAs to chromatin in a Pol II transcription-dependent manner. Our findings uncover a novel role of U1 snRNP beyond pre-mRNA processing and provide molecular insights into how lncRNAs are recruited to Pol II-transcribed genes and have a propensity for chromatin-associated functions.
