Project description:XRN 5′-3′ exoribonucleases play crucial roles in the control of RNA processing, quality, and quantity in eukaryotes. Although genome-wide profiling of RNA decay fragments is now feasible, how XRNs shape the plant mRNA degradome remains elusive. Here, we profiled and analyzed the RNA degradomes of the Arabidopsis wild type and mutants with defects in XRN activity. Deficiency of nuclear XRN3 or cytoplasmic XRN4 but not nuclear XRN2 activity largely altered Arabidopsis mRNA decay profiles. In addition to the primary XRN4 substrates derived from decapping and microRNA-directed slicing, terminating ribosome- and exon junction complex-protected fragments produced from XRN4-mediated cytoplasmic decay also represent the most abundant decay intermediates of Arabidopsis mRNAs. Short excised linear introns and cleaved pre-mRNA fragments downstream of polyadenylation sites were polyadenylated and stabilized in the xrn3 mutant, demonstrating the function of XRN3 in the removal of cleavage remnants from pre-mRNA processing. Further analysis of stabilized XRN3 substrates confirmed that polyadenylation cleavage frequently occurs after an adenosine. An increase in decay intermediates with 5′ ends upstream of a consensus motif in the xrn4 mutant suggests an endonucleolytic cleavage mechanism targeting the 3′ untranslated region of many Arabidopsis mRNAs. However, analysis of decay fragments stabilized in the xrn4 mutant indicated that, except for microRNA-directed slicing, endonucleolytic cleavage events in the coding sequence might rarely result in major decay intermediates. Together, the results of this study reveal major substrates and products of nuclear and cytoplasmic XRNs along Arabidopsis transcripts and provide a basis for precise interpretation of RNA degradome data.
Project description:We report new insight of non-coding RNA degradation mediated by XRN exoribonucleases and FRY1 in Arabidopsis thaliana. We suggest that XRN3, in combination with FRY1, is required to prevent the accumulation of 3’ extensions that arise from thousands of mRNA and miRNA precursor transcripts.

Project description:The Bacillus subtilis genome encodes four 3’ exoribonucleases: polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), RNase R, RNase PH, and YhaM. Previous work showed that PNPase, encoded by the pnpA gene, is the major 3’ exonuclease involved in mRNA turnover; in a pnpA deletion strain, numerous mRNA decay intermediates accumulate. Whether B. subtilis mRNA decay occurs in the context of a degradosome complex is controversial. In this study, global mapping of mRNA decay intermediate 3’ ends within coding sequences was performed in strains that were either deleted for, or had an inactivating point mutation in, the pnpA gene. The pattern of 3’ end accumulation in these strains was highly similar, suggesting that mRNA decay was not occurring in the context of a degradosome, whose structure would be affected by the absence of PNPase. A comparison with mapped 3’ ends in a strain lacking CshA, the major RNA helicase, indicated that different mRNAs may require both PNPase and CshA for efficient decay. RNA-seq analysis of strains lacking RNase R suggested that this enzyme did not play a major role in mRNA turnover in the wild-type strain. Strains were constructed that contained only one of the four known 3’ exoribonucleases. When RNase R was the only 3’ exonuclease present, it was able to degrade a model mRNA efficiently, showing processive decay even through a strong stem-loop structure that inhibits PNPase processivity. Strains containing only RNase PH or only YhaM were also insensitive to this RNA secondary structure, suggesting the existence of another, as-yet unidentified, 3’ exoribonuclease.

Project description:Cytoplasmic mRNA decay occurs through several pathways, but the contributions of these decay pathways to the degradation of specific mRNAs, and interactions between the pathways, are not well understood. We carried out a genome-wide analysis of mRNA decay rates using wild-type Arabidopsis and mutants with defects in mRNA decapping and SOV/DIS3L2. Decay rates and contributions of decapping and SOV to decay were estimated for 18,674 mRNAs using maximum likelihood modeling. Most mRNAs decayed by multiple pathways, few mRNAs degraded exclusively by mRNA decapping or SOV, and specific codon usage was linked to decay rates. Unexpected faster decay of transcripts in some genotypes was found to be independent of siRNAs; instead the data suggested an RNA buffering-like phenomenon in Arabidopsis, and that VCS (decapping) is essential for both this process and the decay of very unstable mRNAs.
Project description:mRNA level is controlled by factors that mediate both mRNA synthesis and decay, including the 5’ to 3’ exonuclease Xrn1 - a major mRNA synthesis and decay factor. Here we show that nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of several mRNA decay factors plays a key role in determining both mRNA synthesis and decay. Shuttling is regulated by RNA-controlled binding of the karyopherin Kap120 to two nuclear localization sequences (NLSs) in Xrn1, location of one of which is conserved from yeast to human. The decaying RNA binds and masks NLS1, establishing a link between mRNA decay and Xrn1 shuttling. Preventing Xrn1 import, either by deleting KAP120 or mutating the two Xrn1 NLSs, compromise transcription and, unexpectedly, also the cytoplasmic decay, uncovering a cytoplasmic decay pathway that initiates in the nucleus. Most mRNAs are degraded by both the “classical” and the novel pathways, the ratio between them represents a full spectrum. Importantly, Xrn1 shuttling is required for proper adaptation to environmental changes, in particular to ever changing environmental fluctuations.
