Herpes Simplex Virus Blocks Host Transcription Termination Via the Bimodal Activities of ICP27
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-14109-x OPEN Herpes simplex virus blocks host transcription termination via the bimodal activities of ICP27 Xiuye Wang 1, Thomas Hennig2, Adam W. Whisnant 2, Florian Erhard 2, Bhupesh K. Prusty 2, Caroline C. Friedel 3, Elmira Forouzmand4,5, William Hu1, Luke Erber 6, Yue Chen6, Rozanne M. Sandri-Goldin 1*, Lars Dölken 2,7* & Yongsheng Shi1* Infection by viruses, including herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), and cellular stresses cause 1234567890():,; widespread disruption of transcription termination (DoTT) of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) in host genes. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the HSV-1 immediate early protein ICP27 induces DoTT by directly binding to the essential mRNA 3’ processing factor CPSF. It thereby induces the assembly of a dead-end 3’ processing complex, blocking mRNA 3’ cleavage. Remarkably, ICP27 also acts as a sequence- dependent activator of mRNA 3’ processing for viral and a subset of host transcripts. Our results unravel a bimodal activity of ICP27 that plays a key role in HSV-1-induced host shutoff and identify CPSF as an important factor that mediates regulation of transcription termination. These findings have broad implications for understanding the regulation of transcription termination by other viruses, cellular stress and cancer. 1 Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, School of Medicine, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA 92697, USA. 2 Institute for Virology and Immunobiology, Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany. 3 Institute of Informatics, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, München, Germany. 4 Institute for Genomics and Bioinformatics, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA 92697, USA. -

The Effect of Rbfox2 Modulation on Retinal Transcriptome and Visual
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The efect of Rbfox2 modulation on retinal transcriptome and visual function Lei Gu1, Riki Kawaguchi2, Joseph Caprioli1,3 & Natik Piri1,3* Rbfox proteins regulate alternative splicing, mRNA stability and translation. These proteins are involved in neurogenesis and have been associated with various neurological conditions. Here, we analyzed Rbfox2 expression in adult and developing mouse retinas and the efect of its downregulation on visual function and retinal transcriptome. In adult rodents, Rbfox2 is expressed in all retinal ganglion cell (RGC) subtypes, horizontal cells, as well as GABAergic amacrine cells (ACs). Among GABAergic AC subtypes, Rbfox2 was colocalized with cholinergic starburst ACs, NPY (neuropeptide Y)- and EBF1 (early B-cell factor 1)-positive ACs. In diferentiating retinal cells, Rbfox2 expression was observed as early as E12 and, unlike Rbfox1, which changes its subcellular localization from cytoplasmic to predominantly nuclear at around P0, Rbfox2 remains nuclear throughout retinal development. Rbfox2 knockout in adult animals had no detectable efect on retinal gross morphology. However, the visual clif test revealed a signifcant abnormality in the depth perception of Rbfox2- defcient animals. Gene set enrichment analysis identifed genes regulating the RNA metabolic process as a top enriched class of genes in Rbfox2-defcient retinas. Pathway analysis of the top 100 diferentially expressed genes has identifed Rbfox2-regulated genes associated with circadian rhythm and entrainment, glutamatergic/cholinergic/dopaminergic synaptic function, calcium and PI3K-AKT signaling. Te family of RNA binding protein, fox-1 (Rbfox) homolog includes three evolutionarily conserved members, Rbfox1, Rbfox2 and Rbfox3, that regulate cell- or tissue-specifc alternative splicing at diferent developmental stages. -

Abstract: Maintaining genomic stability is vital for cells as well as individual organisms. The meiotic recombination-related gene MRE11 (meiotic recombination 11) is essential for preserving genomic stability through its important roles in the resection of broken DNA ends, DNA damage response (DDR), DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair, and telomere maintenance. The post-translational modifications (PTMs), such as phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and methylation, regulate directly the function of MRE11 and endow MRE11 with capabilities to respond to cellular processes in promptly, precisely, and with more diversified manners. Here in this paper, we focus primarily on the PTMs of MRE11 and their roles in DNA response and repair, maintenance of genomic stability, as well as their Citation: Lu, R.; Zhang, H.; Jiang, association with diseases such as cancer. -

Page 1/29 Abstract Background: The elucidation of pathomechanisms leading to the manifestation of rare (genetically caused) neurological diseases including neuromuscular diseases (NMD) represents an important step toward the understanding of the genesis of the respective disease and might help to dene starting points for (new) therapeutic intervention concepts. However, these “discovery studies” are often limited by the availability of human biomaterial. Moreover, given that results of next-generation-sequencing approaches frequently result in the identication of ambiguous variants, testing of their pathogenicity is crucial but also depending on patient-derived material. -
