Avoid repeated freezing and thawing Background Information Pinin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PNN gene. By yeast 2-hybrid analysis of HeLa cells, followed by sequence analysis, it was found that epitope-tagged human PNN interacted with the serine/arginine (SR)-rich proteins SRP75 (SRSF4; 601940), SRM300 (SRRM2; 606032), and SRRP130 (PNISR; 616653). Truncation analysis revealed that the polyserine/RS domain of PNN and flanking sequences participated in binding to these SR proteins. The 4 proteins colocalized in the nucleus of HCE-T cells, and overexpression of any of these proteins affected the distribution of the others between nuclear speckles and nucleoplasm.

  • Exon Junction Complexes Can Have Distinct Functional Flavours To
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Exon Junction Complexes can have distinct functional favours to regulate specifc splicing events Received: 9 November 2017 Zhen Wang1, Lionel Ballut2, Isabelle Barbosa1 & Hervé Le Hir1 Accepted: 11 June 2018 The exon junction complex (EJC) deposited on spliced mRNAs, plays a central role in the post- Published: xx xx xxxx transcriptional gene regulation and specifc gene expression. The EJC core complex is associated with multiple peripheral factors involved in various post-splicing events. Here, using recombinant complex reconstitution and transcriptome-wide analysis, we showed that the EJC peripheral protein complexes ASAP and PSAP form distinct complexes with the EJC core and can confer to EJCs distinct alternative splicing regulatory activities. This study provides the frst evidence that diferent EJCs can have distinct functions, illuminating EJC-dependent gene regulation. Te Exon Junction Complex (EJC) plays a central role in post-transcriptional gene expression control. EJCs tag mRNA exon junctions following intron removal by spliceosomes and accompany spliced mRNAs from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where they are displaced by the translating ribosomes1,2. Te EJC is organized around a core complex made of the proteins eIF4A3, MAGOH, Y14 and MLN51, and this EJC core serves as platforms for multiple peripheral factors during diferent post-transcriptional steps3,4. Dismantled during translation, EJCs mark a very precise period in mRNA life between nuclear splicing and cytoplasmic translation. In this window, EJCs contribute to alternative splicing5–7, intra-cellular RNA localization8, translation efciency9–11 and mRNA stability control by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD)12–14. At a physiological level, developmental defects and human pathological disorders due to altered expression of EJC proteins show that the EJC dosage is critical for specifc cell fate determinations, such as specifcation of embryonic body axis in drosophila, or Neural Stem Cells division in the mouse8,15,16.

    Regulation of gene silencing: From microRNA biogenesis to post-translational modifications of TNRC6 complexes DISSERTATION zur Erlangung des DOKTORGRADES DER NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN (Dr. rer. nat.) der Fakultät Biologie und Vorklinische Medizin der Universität Regensburg vorgelegt von Johannes Danner aus Eggenfelden im Jahr 2017 Das Promotionsgesuch wurde eingereicht am: 12.09.2017 Die Arbeit wurde angeleitet von: Prof. Dr. Gunter Meister Johannes Danner Summary ‘From microRNA biogenesis to post-translational modifications of TNRC6 complexes’ summarizes the two main projects, beginning with the influence of specific RNA binding proteins on miRNA biogenesis processes. The fate of the mature miRNA is determined by the incorporation into Argonaute proteins followed by a complex formation with TNRC6 proteins as core molecules of gene silencing complexes. miRNAs are transcribed as stem-loop structured primary transcripts (pri-miRNA) by Pol II. The further nuclear processing is carried out by the microprocessor complex containing the RNase III enzyme Drosha, which cleaves the pri-miRNA to precursor-miRNA (pre-miRNA). After Exportin-5 mediated transport of the pre-miRNA to the cytoplasm, the RNase III enzyme Dicer cleaves off the terminal loop resulting in a 21-24 nt long double-stranded RNA. One of the strands is incorporated in the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), where it directly interacts with a member of the Argonaute protein family. The miRNA guides the mature RISC complex to partially complementary target sites on mRNAs leading to gene silencing. During this process TNRC6 proteins interact with Argonaute and recruit additional factors to mediate translational repression and target mRNA destabilization through deadenylation and decapping leading to mRNA decay.

  • The Exon Junction Complex Controls Transposable Element Activity by Ensuring Faithful Splicing of the Piwi Transcript
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 25, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press The exon junction complex controls transposable element activity by ensuring faithful splicing of the piwi transcript Colin D. Malone,1,2,5 Claire Mestdagh,3,5 Junaid Akhtar,3 Nastasja Kreim,3 Pia Deinhard,3 Ravi Sachidanandam,4 Jessica Treisman,1 and Jean-Yves Roignant3 1Kimmel Center for Biology and Medicine at the Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine, Department of Cell Biology, New York Universtiy School of Medicine, New York, New York 10016, USA; 2Howard Hughes Medical Institute, 3Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB), 55128 Mainz, Germany; 4Department of Oncological Sciences, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York 10029, USA The exon junction complex (EJC) is a highly conserved ribonucleoprotein complex that binds RNAs during splicing and remains associated with them following export to the cytoplasm. While the role of this complex in mRNA localization, translation, and degradation has been well characterized, its mechanism of action in splicing a subset of Drosophila and human transcripts remains to be elucidated. Here, we describe a novel function for the EJC and its splicing subunit, RnpS1, in preventing transposon accumulation in both Drosophila germline and surrounding somatic follicle cells. This function is mediated specifically through the control of piwi transcript splicing, where, in the absence of RnpS1, the fourth intron of piwi is retained. This intron contains a weak polypyrimidine tract that is sufficient to confer dependence on RnpS1. Finally, we demonstrate that RnpS1-dependent removal of this intron requires splicing of the flanking introns, suggesting a model in which the EJC facilitates the splicing of weak introns following its initial deposition at adjacent exon junctions.

    COMPUTATIONAL METHODS TO STUDY GENE REGULATION IN HUMANS USING DNA AND RNA SEQUENCING DATA by Ashis Saha A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March 2021 © 2021 Ashis Saha All rights reserved Abstract Genes work in a coordinated fashion to perform complex functions. Dis- ruption of gene regulatory programs can result in disease, highlighting the importance of understanding them. We can leverage large-scale DNA and RNA sequencing data to decipher gene regulatory relationships in humans. In this thesis, we present three projects on regulation of gene expression by other genes and by genetic variants using two computational frameworks: co-expression networks and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL). First, we investigate the effect of alignment errors in RNA sequencing on detecting trans-eQTLs and co-expression of genes. We demonstrate that misalignment due to sequence similarity between genes may result in over 75% false positives in a standard trans-eQTL analysis. It produces a higher than background fraction of potential false positives in a conventional co- expression study too. These false-positive associations are likely to mislead- ingly replicate between studies. We present a metric, cross-mappability, to detect and avoid such false positives. Next, we focus on joint regulation of transcription and splicing in hu- mans. We present a framework called transcriptome-wide networks (TWNs) for combining total expression of genes and relative isoform levels into a single ii sparse network, capturing the interplay between the regulation of splicing and transcription. We build TWNs for 16 human tissues and show that the hubs with multiple isoform neighbors in these networks are candidate alternative splicing regulators.
