Project description:In this study, we grew WT HCT116 cells to different levels of cell density by growing them for 3 Days (50% confluent), 5 Days (250% confluent), and 7 Days (400% confluent), and we extracted whole cell RNA from cells at these different growth conditions for small RNA and whole transcriptome sequencing.

Project description:Argonaute protein is associated with post-transcriptional control of cytoplasmic gene expression through miRNA-induced silencing complexes (miRISC). Specific cellular and environmental conditions can trigger AGO protein to accumulate in the nucleus. Localization of AGO is central to understanding miRNA action, yet the consequences of AGO being in the nucleus are undefined. We show nuclear enrichment of AGO2 in HCT116 cells grown in two-dimensional culture to high density, HCT116 cells grown in three-dimensional tumor spheroid culture, and human colon tumors. The shift in localization of AGO2 from cytoplasm to nucleus de-represses cytoplasmic AGO2-eCLIP targets that were candidates for canonical regulation by miRISC. Constitutive nuclear localization of AGO2 using an engineered nuclear localization signal increases cell migration. Critical RNAi factors also affect the localization of AGO2. Knocking out an enzyme essential for miRNA biogenesis, DROSHA, depletes mature miRNAs and restricts AGO2 localization to the cytoplasm, while knocking out the miRISC scaffolding protein, TNRC6, results in nuclear localization of AGO2. These data suggest that AGO2 localization and miRNA activity can be regulated depending on environmental conditions, expression of mature miRNAs, and expression of miRISC cofactors. Localization and expression of core miRISC protein machinery should be considered when investigating the roles of miRNAs.

Project description:MicroRNAs are critical regulators of gene expression in animals. To repress their target mRNAs, these small RNAs are first loaded onto Argonaute proteins to form the silencing complex called miRISC. The complex must then be transported to its target mRNA where it interacts mostly within the 3’UTR through base-pairing. After target repression, the constituents of the miRISC undergo degradation or recycling mediated through their accurate sorting and localization in the cell. While some reports have linked intracellular trafficking to miRNA activity, it is still unclear how these pathways coordinate to allow proper miRNA-mediated gene silencing and turnover. Through a forward genetic screen performed in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, we identified the RabGAP tbc-11 as an important factor for the miRNA pathway. We show that TBC-11 is likely a GAP for the small GTPase RAB-6 and that its regulation is required for miRNA function in animals. The absence of functional TBC-11 leads to the persistent activation of RAB-6, which increases the localization of miRNA-unloaded Argonaute ALG-1 on endomembranes. This inactive form of Argonaute accumulates on polysomes, leading to defective miRNA-mediated target mRNA repression. Together, our results establish the importance of intracellular trafficking for miRNA function and demonstrates the involvement of a small GTPase in proper Argonaute localization in vivo.

Project description:CSR-1 is an essential Argonaute protein that binds to a subclass of 22G-RNAs targeting most germline-expressed genes. Here we show that the two isoforms of CSR-1 have distinct expression patterns; CSR-1B is ubiquitously expressed throughout the germline and during all stages of development while CSR-1A expression is restricted to germ cells undergoing spermatogenesis. Furthermore, CSR-1A associates preferentially with 22G-RNAs mapping to spermatogenesis-specific genes whereas CSR-1B-bound small RNAs map predominantly to oogenesis-specific genes. Interestingly, the exon unique to CSR-1A contains multiple dimethylarginine modifications, which are necessary for the preferential binding of CSR-1A to spermatogenesis-specific 22G-RNAs. Thus, we have discovered a regulatory mechanism for C. elegans Argonaute proteins that allows for specificity of small RNA binding between similar Argonaute proteins with overlapping temporal and spatial localization.

Project description:Regulation of organ size is important for development and tissue homeostasis. In Drosophila, Hippo signaling controls organ size by regulating the activity of a TEAD transcription factor, Scalloped, through modulation of its coactivator protein Yki. The role of mammalian Tead proteins in growth regulation, however, remains unknown. Here we examined the role of mouse Tead proteins in growth regulation. In NIH3T3 cells, cell density and Hippo signaling regulated the activity of Tead proteins by modulating nuclear localization of a Yki homologue, Yap, and the resulting change in Tead activity altered cell proliferation. Tead2-VP16 mimicked Yap overexpression, including increased cell proliferation, reduced cell death, promotion of EMT, lack of cell contact inhibition, and promotion of tumor formation. Growth promoting activities of various Yap mutants correlated with their Tead-coactivator activities. Tead2-VP16 and Yap regulated largely overlapping sets of genes. However, only a few of the Tead/Yapregulated genes in NIH3T3 cells were affected in Tead1-/-;Tead2-/- or Yap-/- embryos. Most of the previously identified Yap-regulated genes were not affected in NIH3T3 cells or mutant mice. In embryos, levels of nuclear Yap and Tead1 varied depending on cell types. Strong nuclear accumulation of Yap and Tead1 were seen in myocardium, correlating with requirements of Tead1 for proliferation. However, their distribution did not always correlate with proliferation. Taken together, mammalian Tead proteins regulate cell proliferation and contact inhibition as a transcriptional mediator of Hippo signaling, but the mechanisms by which Tead/Yap regulate cell proliferation differ depending on cell types, and Tead, Yap and Hippo signaling may play multiple roles in mouse embryos. We used microarrays to know the gene expression profiles regurated by Tead2-VP16, Tead2-EnR, Yap, and cell density in NIH3T3 cells. Keywords: Cell density, genetic modification Tead2-VP16-, Tead2-EnR-, Yap- and control vector-expressing cells were cultured at low or high density for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Multiple division cycles without growth are a characteristic feature of early embryogenesis. The female germline deposits proteins and RNAs into oocytes to support these divisions, which lack many of the quality control mechanisms operating in somatic cells undergoing growth. How the composition of the oocyte maternal load is regulated to ensure its ability to support early embryogenesis is not known. Here we describe a small RNA-Argonaute pathway, operating in the C. elegans germline, that ensures early embryonic divisions by employing catalytic slicing activity to broadly tune, instead of silence, germline gene expression. Misregulation of one target, a kinesin-13 microtubule depolymerase, underlies a major embryonic phenotype associated with pathway loss. Tuning of target expression is guided by small RNA density, which must ultimately be related to target sequence. Thus, C. elegans employs a single catalytic Argonaute for small RNA-mediated tuning of the mRNA levels of germline-expressed genes that support early embryogenesis. mRNA profiling of 2 replicates each for 3 genotypes of adult-stage C. elegans worms

Project description:Argonaute proteins lie at the heart of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC), wherein they use small RNA guides to recognize targets. Some Argonaute proteins can directly cleave their targets, whereas others recruit co-factors to repress independently of “slicing.” Prior studies established the architecture of Argonaute proteins; however, we have not yet had a detailed picture of an Argonaute whose biochemical and biological functions were well established. Here we describe the crystal structure of human Argonaute-2 bound to miR-20a at 2.2 Å resolution. Overall architecture and domain organization is shared with its prokaryotic counterparts, though Ago2 is somewhat more open, with its PAZ domain further removed from the other domains. The miRNA is anchored at both ends by the Mid and PAZ domains but makes several kinks and turns along the binding groove. The RNA confers remarkable stability on the Argonaute protein, locking this otherwise flexible enzyme into a stable conformation. total small RNAs (19-29nt) and small RNAs associated with purified hArgonaute2 purified from SF9 cells. These were processed and sequenced on Illumina GA-II platform.
