  • Mutation of the AAUAAA Polyadenylation Signal Depresses in Vitro Splicing of Proximal but Not Distal Introns
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 24, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Mutation of the AAUAAA polyadenylation signal depresses in vitro splicing of proximal but not distal introns Maho Niwa and Susan M. Berget Marrs McClean Department of Biochemistry, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas 77030 USA To investigate the relationship between splicing and polyadenylation during the production of vertebrate mRNAs, we examined the effect of mutation of a poly(A) site on splicing of upstream introns. Mutation of the AAUAAA polyadenylation consensus sequence inhibited in vitro splicing of an upstream intron. The magnitude of the depression depended on the magnesium concentration. Dependence of splicing on polyadenylation signals suggests the existence of interaction between polyadenylation and splicing factors. In multi-intron precursor RNAs containing duplicated splice sites, mutation of the poly(A) site inhibited removal of the last intron, but not the removal of introns farther upstream. Inhibition of removal of only the last intron suggests segmental recognition of multi-exon precursor RNAs and is consistent with previous suggestions that signals at both ends of an exon are required for effective splicing of an upstream intron.

  • RNA Components of the Spliceosome Regulate Tissue- and Cancer-Specific Alternative Splicing
    Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on September 29, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Research RNA components of the spliceosome regulate tissue- and cancer-specific alternative splicing Heidi Dvinge,1,2,4 Jamie Guenthoer,3 Peggy L. Porter,3 and Robert K. Bradley1,2 1Computational Biology Program, Public Health Sciences Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, Washington 98109, USA; 2Basic Sciences Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, Washington 98109, USA; 3Human Biology Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, Washington 98109, USA Alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs plays a pivotal role during the establishment and maintenance of human cell types. Characterizing the trans-acting regulatory proteins that control alternative splicing has therefore been the focus of much research. Recent work has established that even core protein components of the spliceosome, which are required for splicing to proceed, can nonetheless contribute to splicing regulation by modulating splice site choice. We here show that the RNA components of the spliceosome likewise influence alternative splicing decisions. Although these small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), termed U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6 snRNA, are present in equal stoichiometry within the spliceosome, we found that their relative levels vary by an order of magnitude during development, across tissues, and across cancer samples. Physiologically relevant perturbation of individual snRNAs drove widespread gene-specific differences in alternative splic- ing but not transcriptome-wide splicing failure. Genes that were particularly sensitive to variations in snRNA abundance in a breast cancer cell line model were likewise preferentially misspliced within a clinically diverse cohort of invasive breast ductal carcinomas.

Annotations must describe a gene model, that is, they need to contain the following information: The exact exon/intron structure (i.e., genomic coordinates) for the known transcripts. The grouping of transcripts by gene. Annotations need to be provided as a TxDb or GRangesList object, which is how a gene model is typically represented in Bioconductor. 1 The SplicingGraphs package defines the SplicingGraphs container for storing the splicing graphs together with the gene model that they are based on.

  • The Nuclear Poly(A) Binding Protein of Mammals, but Not of Fission Yeast, Participates in Mrna Polyadenylation
    Downloaded from rnajournal.cshlp.org on September 30, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press REPORT The nuclear poly(A) binding protein of mammals, but not of fission yeast, participates in mRNA polyadenylation UWE KÜHN, JULIANE BUSCHMANN, and ELMAR WAHLE Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, 06099 Halle, Germany ABSTRACT The nuclear poly(A) binding protein (PABPN1) has been suggested, on the basis of biochemical evidence, to play a role in mRNA polyadenylation by strongly increasing the processivity of poly(A) polymerase. While experiments in metazoans have tended to support such a role, the results were not unequivocal, and genetic data show that the S. pombe ortholog of PABPN1, Pab2, is not involved in mRNA polyadenylation. The specific model in which PABPN1 increases the rate of poly(A) tail elongation has never been examined in vivo. Here, we have used 4-thiouridine pulse-labeling to examine the lengths of newly synthesized poly(A) tails in human cells. Knockdown of PABPN1 strongly reduced the synthesis of full-length tails of ∼250 nucleotides, as predicted from biochemical data. We have also purified S. pombe Pab2 and the S. pombe poly(A) polymerase, Pla1, and examined their in vitro activities. Whereas PABPN1 strongly increases the activity of its cognate poly(A) polymerase in vitro, Pab2 was unable to stimulate Pla1 to any significant extent. Thus, in vitro and in vivo data are consistent in supporting a role of PABPN1 but not S. pombe Pab2 in the polyadenylation of mRNA precursors.

  • Mechanisms of Mrna Polyadenylation
    Turkish Journal of Biology Turk J Biol (2016) 40: 529-538 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/biology/ © TÜBİTAK Review Article doi:10.3906/biy-1505-94 Mechanisms of mRNA polyadenylation Hızlan Hıncal AĞUŞ, Ayşe Elif ERSON BENSAN* Department of Biology, Arts and Sciences, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey Received: 26.05.2015 Accepted/Published Online: 21.08.2015 Final Version: 18.05.2016 Abstract: mRNA 3’-end processing involves the addition of a poly(A) tail based on the recognition of the poly(A) signal and subsequent cleavage of the mRNA at the poly(A) site. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is emerging as a novel mechanism of gene expression regulation in normal and in disease states. APA results from the recognition of less canonical proximal or distal poly(A) signals leading to changes in the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) lengths and even in some cases changes in the coding sequence of the distal part of the transcript. Consequently, RNA-binding proteins and/or microRNAs may differentially bind to shorter or longer isoforms. These changes may eventually alter the stability, localization, and/or translational efficiency of the mRNAs. Overall, the 3’ UTRs are gaining more attention as they possess a significant posttranscriptional regulation potential guided by APA, microRNAs, and RNA-binding proteins. Here we provide an overview of the recent developments in the APA field in connection with cancer as a potential oncogene activator and/or tumor suppressor silencing mechanism. A better understanding of the extent and significance of APA deregulation will pave the way to possible new developments to utilize the APA machinery and its downstream effects in cancer cells for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Post-transcriptional cleavage and polyadenylation of messenger and long noncoding RNAs is coordinated by a supercomplex of ~20 individual proteins within the eukaryotic nucleus1,2. Polyadenylation plays an essential role in controlling RNA transcript stability, nuclear export, and translation efficiency3-6. More than half of all human RNA transcripts contain multiple polyadenylation signal sequences that can undergo alternative cleavage and polyadenylation during development and cellular differentiation7,8. Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation is an important mechanism for the control of gene expression and defects in 3’ end processing can give rise to myriad human diseases9,10.
