Project description:To investigate the role of amino terminal region (NTR) of Drosha in microprocessor function, we generated amino terminus lacking Drosha (∆N-Drosha) HEK293T cell line by CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. We then performed miRNA expression profile analysis using data obtained from miRNA-seq of WT-Drosha and ∆N-Drosha containing HEK293T cells.

Project description:Drosha is a core component of the Microprocessor complex that cleaves primary-microRNAs (pri-miRNAs) to generate precursor-miRNA and regulates the expression of ∼80 ribosomal protein (RP) genes. Despite the fact that mutations in the amino-terminal region of Drosha (Drosha-NTR) are associated with a vascular disorder, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, the precise function of Drosha-NTR remains unclear. By deleting exon 5 from the Drosha gene and generating a Drosha mutant lacking the NTR (ΔN), we demonstrate that ΔN is unable to process pri-miRNAs, which leads to a global miRNA depletion, except for the miR-183/96/182 cluster. We find that Argonaute 2 facilitates the processing of the pri-miR-183/96/182 in ΔN cells. Unlike full-length Drosha, ΔN is not degraded under serum starvation, resulting in unregulated RP biogenesis and protein synthesis in ΔN cells, allowing them to evade growth arrest. This study reveals the essential role of Drosha-NTR in miRNA production and nutrient-dependent translational control.

Project description:Regulation of microRNA (miR) biogenesis is complex and stringently controlled. Here we identify the kinase GSK3B as an important modulator of global miR biogenesis at microprocessor level. Repression of GSK3B activity reduces Drosha activity towards pri-miRs, leading to accumulation of unprocessed pri-miRs and reduction of pre-miRs and mature miRs without altering levels or cellular localisationof miR biogenesisproteins. Conversly, GSK3B activation increases Drosha activityand mature miR accumulation. GSK3B achieves this through promoting Drosha:cofactor and Drosha:pri-miR interactions: it binds to DGCR8 and p72 in the Microprocessor, an effect dependent of RNA. Indeed GSK3B itself can immunoprecipitate pri-miRs, suggesting possible RNA binding capacity. Kinase assays identify the mechanism for GSK3B-enhansed Drosha activity, which requires GSK3B nuclear localisation, as phosphorylation of Drosha at s300 and/or s302 confirmed by enhanced Drosha activity and association with cofactors, and increased abundance of mature microRNAs in the presence of phospho-mimetic Drosha. Functional implicatons of GSK3B-enhanced miR biogenesis are illustrated by increased levels of GSK3B-upregulatd miR targets following GSK3B inhibition. These data, the first link GSK3B with the miR cascade in humans, hilight a novel pro-biogenesis role for GSK3B in increasing miR biogenesis as a component of the Microprocessor complex with wide ranging consiquences.

Project description:The human Microprocessor complex cleaves primary microRNA (miRNA) transcripts (pri-miRNAs) to initiate miRNA synthesis. Microprocessor consists of DROSHA (an RNase III enzyme), and DGCR8. DROSHA has two conserved RNase III domains, which make double cuts on each of pri-miRNA strands. In this study, we show that Microprocessor has an unexpected single-cut activity, which creates a single cut on just one of the pri-miRNA strands using one of the two RNase III domains of DROSHA. This cleavage does not lead to the production of miRNA but instead it downregulates miRNA expression. We also demonstrate that certain RNA elements facilitate the single-cut activity of Microprocessor, and by manipulating these elements, we can regulate the ratio of single-cut to double-cut activities, thus controlling miRNA production both in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:Blastemal histology in chemotherapy-treated pediatric Wilms tumors (nephroblastoma) is associated with adverse prognosis. To uncover the underlying tumor biology and find novel therapeutic leads for this subgroup of patients, we analyzed 58 blastemal-type Wilms tumors by exome and transcriptome sequencing and validated our findings in a large independent replication cohort. Recurrent mutations identified either somatically or in the germline included a hotspot mutation (Q177R) in the homeodomain of SIX1 and SIX2 in tumors with high proliferative potential, mutations in microprocessor genes like DROSHA, DGCR8, DICER1 and DIS3L2, and alterations in IGF2, MYCN, and TP53, the latter being strongly associated with dismal outcome. DROSHA and DGCR8 mutations had a strong effect on miRNA expression patterns in tumors, which was functionally validated in cell lines transfected with mutant DROSHA. total samples analyzed are 16, each done as technical replicate

Project description:Neural stem cell regulation is essential for the formation of the central nervous system and homeostatic neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain. The RNAseIII Drosha, a key component of the miRNA microprocessor, plays a central role in regulating NSC maintenance partially through a miRNA-independent mechanism. Drosha controls mRNA expression levels by targeting and cleaving evolutionary conserved stem-loop hairpins located in the mRNAs of stem cell-related transcription factors. However, it is unknown how the Drosha-mediated endonucleolytic cleavage of mRNA is regulated. Here, we identify novel Drosha and NFIB interactors in hippocampal NSCs by in vitro pull-down assays followed by Mass Spectrometry. We unravel the RNA binding proteins implicated in Drosha-mediated regulation of neurogenesis and we find Scaffold Attachment Factor B1 to play a novel and essential role in NFIB mRNA regulation during neural stem cell differentiation.

Project description:Using a protein interaction screen, we identify the Microprocessor component Drosha as a novel Dnmt1-interactor. Drosha-deficient ES cells display genomic hypomethylation which is not accounted for by changes in the levels of Dnmt proteins. Both genetic and transfection studies show that Drosha stimulates Dnmt1 methyltransferase activity. We identify two transcripts that are specifically upregulated in Drosha but not Dicer-deficient ES cells. Regions within these transcripts predicted to form stem-loop structures are processed by Microprocessor and can inhibit DNMT1-mediated methylation in vitro. Our results highlight Drosha as a novel regulator of mammalian DNA methylation and we propose that Drosha-mediated processing of RNA is necessary to ensure full Dnmt1 activity. This adds to the Drosha repertoire of non-miRNA dependent functions as well as implicating RNA in regulating Dnmt1 activity and correct levels of genomic methylation.

Project description:The Microprocessor plays an essential role in canonical miRNA biogenesis by facilitating cleavage of stem-loop structures in primary transcripts to yield pre-miRNAs. Although miRNA biogenesis has been extensively studied through biochemical and molecular genetic approaches, it has yet to be addressed to what extent the current miRNA biogenesis models hold true in intact cells. To address the issues of in vivo recognition and cleavage by the Microprocessor, we investigate RNAs that are associated with DGCR8 and Drosha by using immunoprecipitation coupled with next-generation sequencing. Here, we present global protein-RNA interactions with unprecedented sensitivity and specificity. Our data indicate that precursors of canonical miRNAs and miRNA-like hairpins are the major substrates of the Microprocessor. As a result of specific enrichment of nascent cleavage products, we are able to pinpoint the Microprocessor-mediated cleavage sites per se at single-nucleotide resolution. Unexpectedly, a 2-nt 3M-bM-^@M-^Y overhang invariably exists at the ends of cleaved bases instead of nascent pre-miRNAs. Besides canonical miRNA precursors, we find that two novel miRNA-like structures embedded in mRNAs are cleaved to yield pre-miRNA-like hairpins, uncoupled from miRNA maturation. Our data provide a framework for in vivo Microprocessor-mediated cleavage and a foundation for experimental and computational studies on miRNA biogenesis in living cells.

Project description:The cellular abundance of mature microRNAs (miRNAs) is dictated by the efficiency of nuclear processing of primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs) into pre-miRNA intermediates. The Microprocessor complex of Drosha and DGCR8 carries this out, but it has been unclear what controls Microprocessor's differential processing of various pri-miRNAs. Here, we show that Drosophila DGCR8 (Pasha) directly associates with the C terminal domain of the RNA polymerase II elongation complex when it is phosphorylated by the Cdk9 kinase (pTEFb). When association is blocked by loss of Cdk9 activity, a global change in pri-miRNA processing is detected. Processing of pri-miRNAs with a UGU sequence motif in their apical junction domain increases, while processing of pri-miRNAs lacking this motif decreases. Therefore, phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II recruits Microprocessor for co-transcriptional processing of non-UGU pri-miRNAs that would otherwise be poorly processed. In contrast, UGU-positive pri-miRNAs are robustly processed by Microprocessor independent of RNA polymerase association.
