Here we 28 developed a circRNA-based system and unbiasedly identified more than 10,000 29 sequences in the human transcriptome that contain Cap-independent Translation 30 Initiators (CiTIs). Surprisingly, most of the identified CiTIs are located in 3ʹUTRs, 31 which mainly promote translation initiation in mRNAs bearing highly structured 32 5ʹUTR. Mechanistically, CiTI recruits several translation initiation factors including 33 eIF3 and DHX29, which in turn unwind 5ʹUTR structures and facilitate ribosome 34 scanning. Functionally, we showed that the translation of HIF1A mRNA, an 35 endogenous DHX29 target, is antagonistically regulated by its 5ʹUTR structure and a 36 new 3ʹ-CiTI in response to hypoxia. Therefore, deletion of 3ʹ-CiTI suppresses cell 37 growth in hypoxia and tumor progression in vivo. Collectively, our study uncovers a 38 new regulatory mode for translation where the 3ʹUTR actively participate in the 39 translation initiation. 40 41 42 43 44 2 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.05.28.446092; this version posted May 29, 2021.

In eukaryotic cells, canonical translation initiation is 48 mediated by the formation of eIF4F complex on the 5ʹ-cap (7-methylguanosine), 49 followed by the attachment of the ribosomal 43S preinitiation complex that scans 50 along the mRNA in a 5ʹ-to-3ʹ direction for a start codon 1,2. Multiple cis-elements and 51 trans-factors are employed to accurately regulate mRNA translation initiation. For 52 example, the RNA structures and upstream ORF (uORF) in 5ʹUTRs are well known 53 cis-elements that regulate mRNA translation, whereas many protein factors or 54 miRNAs can control translation in trans 1-4. 55 In addition, many genes can also be translated in a cap-independent fashion, 56 mostly through direct recruitment of ribosomes to the internal ribosome entry site 57 (IRES), which often occurs during stress conditions (like virus infection, heat shock, 58 or apoptosis) 5,6. It has been estimated that up to 10-15% of cellular mRNAs undergo 59 cap-independent translation under various conditions where cap-dependent translation 60 is suppressed 7. A recent high-throughput screen targeting the viral RNAs and 5ʹUTRs 61 of human mRNAs revealed that many human genes (583 out of 5058 genes tested) 62 harbor the “cap-independent translation elements” that function as IRESs to drive 63 mRNA translation 8. However, an unbiased screen of the translation initiation 64 elements remains absent. Recently, thousands of circular RNAs (circRNAs) have 65 been identified in eukaryotic cells 9-11, many of which can be translated in vitro and in 66 vivo 12-16. Since circRNAs lack free ends and can only be translated cap- 3 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.05.28.446092; this version posted May 29, 2021.

We inserted a 76 library of cDNA short fragments from normalized human transcriptome before start 77 codon of the “split” EGFP (Fig. 1a) 13,16, and transfected the library to generate ~3 78 million stable clones. The green cells were selected by FACS (Extended data Fig. 1a), 79 and the insertion libraries were sequenced at each stage (supplementary information). 80 The fragment abundance in this library correlated poorly with gene levels in 81 HeLa cells (r<0.09, Extended data Fig. 1b), with rRNAs representing <10% of the 82 total fragments (Extended data Fig. 1c), indicative of an effective transcriptome 83 normalization. After sorting, we recovered 82,367 unique fragments from the green 84 cells with similar length distribution as the input (Extended data Fig. 1d and Extended 85 data Table 1). The recovered fragments were not dominated by the pre-sorting library 86 (Extended data Fig. 1e), suggesting the screen was unbiased. The majority of the 87 reads from the pre- and post-sorting libraries were located in protein coding genes 88 (Fig. 1b), with two examples shown in read density plots (Fig. 1c). Surprisingly, the 4 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.05.28.446092; this version posted May 29, 2021.

No reuse allowed without permission. 89 percentage of positive reads from 3ʹUTRs was substantially increased whereas the 90 reads from 5ʹUTRs and coding sequences (CDS) was decreased after sorting (Fig. 91 1b), suggesting a prominent role of 3ʹUTRs in regulation of cap-independent 92 translation. 93 We further validated 14 out of 15 randomly selected fragments for their activity in 94 driving circRNA translation (Fig. 1d, activities are independent on their read depth), 95 indicating a low false positive rate. The IRES-like activities in 8 out of 9 positive 96 fragments were also confirmed using a bicistronic translation reporter (Fig. 1e). 97 Conversely, 3 out of the randomly selected 12 single clones from the input library 98 promoted circRNA translation (Extended data Fig. 1f), suggesting that our screen had 99 not reached saturation. 100 The overlapping positive fragments were merged into 10,455 peaks in human 101 transcriptome, which were defined as cap-independent translation initiators (CiTIs). 102 Most CiTIs were recovered only by a small number of reads in the post-sorting library 103 while several CiTIs have exceedingly high read depth (Extended data Fig. 1g). The 104 CiTIs were widely distributed across all human chromosomes (Extended data Fig. 105 1h), and their abundance correlated positively with the gene numbers (r=0.96) and the 106 size (r=0.76) of each chromosome (Extended data Fig. 1i). The newly identified CiTIs 107 included many previously reported IRESs 8,18 (Extended data Fig. 1j), including ~10% 108 of IRESs identified from a screen biased towards the 5ʹUTRs and viral sequences 8. 109 The CiTI-containing genes were more conserved than an average human gene 110 (Extended data Fig. 2a), and were actively expressed and translated in cultured cells 5 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.05.28.446092; this version posted May 29, 2021.

Interestingly, CiTI containing genes were substantially 112 enriched in functional categories of RNA translation, splicing, cell-cell adhesion and 113 viral processes (Extended data Fig. 2c). Particularly, the CiTIs were enriched in genes 114 encoding ribosomal proteins and translation initiation factors, suggesting a potential 115 positive feedback regulation of translation. 116 Although the canonical IRESs are mostly located in the 5ʹUTR, the newly 117 identified CiTIs were found in all gene regions including 5ʹUTRs (termed 5ʹ-CiTI), 118 CDS (termed C-CiTI), and 3ʹUTRs (termed 3ʹ-CiTI). Consistent with our earlier 119 finding, the CiTIs were enriched in 3ʹUTRs and peaked in the CDS near the start and 120 stop codons (Fig. 1f). Compared to the cognate controls, we found a significant 121 increase of sequence conservation in 3ʹ-CiTIs, a modest increase in 5ʹ-CiTIs, and no 122 increase in C-CiTIs (Extended data Fig. 2d). The CiTIs generally had less structures 123 as judged by higher minimal free energy (MFE) (Extended data Fig.

    Stamova et al. Molecular Autism 2013, 4:30 http://www.molecularautism.com/content/4/1/30 RESEARCH Open Access Evidence for differential alternative splicing in blood of young boys with autism spectrum disorders Boryana S Stamova1,2,5*, Yingfang Tian1,2,4, Christine W Nordahl1,3, Mark D Shen1,3, Sally Rogers1,3, David G Amaral1,3 and Frank R Sharp1,2 Abstract Background: Since RNA expression differences have been reported in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for blood and brain, and differential alternative splicing (DAS) has been reported in ASD brains, we determined if there was DAS in blood mRNA of ASD subjects compared to typically developing (TD) controls, as well as in ASD subgroups related to cerebral volume. Methods: RNA from blood was processed on whole genome exon arrays for 2-4–year-old ASD and TD boys. An ANCOVA with age and batch as covariates was used to predict DAS for ALL ASD (n=30), ASD with normal total cerebral volumes (NTCV), and ASD with large total cerebral volumes (LTCV) compared to TD controls (n=20). Results: A total of 53 genes were predicted to have DAS for ALL ASD versus TD, 169 genes for ASD_NTCV versus TD, 1 gene for ASD_LTCV versus TD, and 27 genes for ASD_LTCV versus ASD_NTCV. These differences were significant at P <0.05 after false discovery rate corrections for multiple comparisons (FDR <5% false positives). A number of the genes predicted to have DAS in ASD are known to regulate DAS (SFPQ, SRPK1, SRSF11, SRSF2IP, FUS, LSM14A). In addition, a number of genes with predicted DAS are involved in pathways implicated in previous ASD studies, such as ROS monocyte/macrophage, Natural Killer Cell, mTOR, and NGF signaling.

DHX29 contains one central helicase and one helicase at the carboxy-terminal domain (1). Its function has not been fully established but DHX29 was recently shown to facilitate translation initiation on mRNAs with structured 5' untranslated regions (2). DHX29 binds 40S subunits and hydrolyzes ATP, GTP, UTP, and CTP. Hydrolysis of nucleotide triphosphates by DHX29 is strongly stimulated by 43S complexes and is required for DHX29 activity in promoting 48S complex formation (2). 1. de la Cruz, J.

Knowledge of how they form and resolve, as well as their functional roles, is limited. Here, by pull-down assays followed by mass spectrometry, we identified 803 proteins that bind to RNA/DNA hybrids. Because these proteins were identified using in vitro assays, we confirmed that they bind to R-loops in vivo. They include proteins that are involved in a variety of functions, including most steps of RNA processing. The proteins are enriched for K homology (KH) and helicase domains. Among them, more than 300 proteins preferred binding to hybrids than double-stranded DNA. These proteins serve as starting points for mechanistic studies to elucidate what RNA/DNA hybrids regulate and how they are regulated.

We 15 show that eIF4A’s ATPase activity is markedly stimulated in the presence of the PIC, independently of eIF4E•eIF4G, 16 but dependent on subunits i and g of the heteromeric eIF3 complex. Surprisingly, eIF4A accelerated the rate of 17 recruitment of all mRNAs tested, regardless of their degree of structural complexity. Structures in the 5'-UTR and 3' of 18 the start codon synergistically inhibit mRNA recruitment in a manner relieved by eIF4A, indicating that the factor does 19 not act solely to melt hairpins in 5'-UTRs. Our findings that eIF4A functionally interacts with the PIC and plays 20 important roles beyond unwinding 5'-UTR structure is consistent with a recent proposal that eIF4A modulates the 21 conformation of the 40S ribosomal subunit to promote mRNA recruitment.

  • Alu RNA Regulates the Cellular Pool of Active Ribosomes by Targeted Delivery of SRP9/14 to 40S Subunits
    Article Alu RNA regulates the cellular pool of active ribosomes by targeted delivery of SRP9/14 to 40S subunits IVANOVA, Elena, et al. Abstract The human genome contains about 1.5 million Alu elements, which are transcribed into Alu RNAs by RNA polymerase III. Their expression is upregulated following stress and viral infection, and they associate with the SRP9/14 protein dimer in the cytoplasm forming Alu RNPs. Using cell-free translation, we have previously shown that Alu RNPs inhibit polysome formation. Here, we describe the mechanism of Alu RNP-mediated inhibition of translation initiation and demonstrate its effect on translation of cellular and viral RNAs. Both cap-dependent and IRES-mediated initiation is inhibited. Inhibition in- volves direct binding of SRP9/14 to 40S ribosomal subunits and requires Alu RNA as an assembly factor but its continuous association with 40S subunits is not required for inhibition. Binding of SRP9/14 to 40S prevents 48S complex formation by interfering with the recruitment of mRNA to 40S subunits. In cells, overexpression of Alu RNA decreases transla- tion of reporter mRNAs and this effect is alleviated with a mutation that reduces its affinity for SRP9/14. Alu RNPs also inhibit the translation of cellular mR- NAs resuming [...] Reference IVANOVA, Elena, et al.

  • Migration and Epithelial-To-Mesenchymal Transition of Lung Cancer Can Be Targeted Via Translation Initiation Factors Eif4e and E
    Laboratory Investigation (2016) 96, 1004–1015 © 2016 USCAP, Inc All rights reserved 0023-6837/16 Migration and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of lung cancer can be targeted via translation initiation factors eIF4E and eIF4GI Oshrat Attar-Schneider1,2,4, Liat Drucker2,4,5 and Maya Gottfried1,3,4,5 Metastasis underlies cancer morbidity and accounts for disease progression and significant death rates generally and in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) particularly. Therefore, it is critically important to understand the molecular events that regulate metastasis. Accumulating data portray a central role for protein synthesis, particularly translation initiation (TI) factors eIF4E and eIF4G in tumorigenesis and patients' survival. We have published that eIF4E/eIF4GI activities and consequently NSCLC cell migration are modulated by bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cell secretomes, suggesting a role for TI in metastasis. Here, we aimed to expand our understanding of the TI factors significance to NSCLC characteristics, particularly epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and migration, supportive of metastasis. In a model of NSCLC cell lines (H1299, H460), we inhibited eIF4E/eIF4GI's expressions (siRNA, ribavirin) and assessed NSCLC cell lines' migration (scratch), differentiation (EMT, immunoblotting), and expression of select microRNAs (qPCR). Initially, we determined an overexpression of several TI factors (eIF4E, eIF4GI, eIF4B, and DHX29) and their respective targets in NSCLC compared with normal lung samples (70–350%↑, Po0.05). Knockdown (KD) of eIF4E/eIF4GI in NSCLC cell lines (70%↓, Po0.05) also manifested in decreased target levels (ERα, SMAD5, NFkB, CyclinD1, c-MYC, and HIF1α) (20–50%↓, Po0.05). eIF4E/eIF4GI KD also attenuated cell migration (60–75%↓, Po0.05), EMT promoters (15–90%↓, Po0.05), and enhanced EMT suppressors (30–380%↑, Po0.05).

MYXV tropism for human cancer cells is largely mediated by intracellular signaling networks that regulate viral replication or innate antiviral response pathways. Thus, MYXV is fully or partially permissive for the majority of human cancer cells that harbor defects in antiviral signaling, but a minority are nonpermissive because the virus infection aborts before its completion. To identify host factors relevant for MYXV tropism in human cancer cells, we performed a small interfering RNA (siRNA) library screen targeting the 58 human DEAD-box RNA helicases in two permissive human cancer cells (HeLa and A549), one semi-permissive (786-0), and one nonpermissive cell line (PANC-1). Five host RNA helicases (DDX3X, DDX5, DHX9, DHX37, DDX52) were inhibitory for optimal replication and thus classifed as anti-viral, while three other cellular RNA helicases (DHX29, DHX35, RIG-I) were identifed as pro-viral or pro-cellular because knockdown consistently reduced MYXV replication and/or required metabolic functions of permissive cancer cells. These fndings suggest that replication of MYXV, and likely all poxviruses, is dramatically regulated positively and negatively by multiple host DEAD-box RNA helicases. MYXV is the prototypic member of the Leporipoxvirus genus of Poxviridae family of viruses, which causes myx- omatosis disease in European rabbits, but is utterly non-pathogenic for all other non-leporid species.

DDX29 (H-248): sc-98409 BACKGROUND PRODUCT DDX29 (putative ATP-dependent RNA helicase DHX29) is a 1,369 amino acid Each vial contains 200 µg IgG in 1.0 ml of PBS with < 0.1% sodium azide protein encoded by the human gene DDX29. This protein belongs to the DEAD- and 0.1% gelatin. box helicase family (DEAH subfamily) and contains one helicase ATP-binding domain and one helicase C-terminal domain. DDX29 is a nuclear protein found APPLICATIONS on chromosome 5 that likely functions as an ATP-dependent RNA helicase. DDX29 (H-248) is recommended for detection of DDX29 of mouse, rat and RNA helicases are highly conserved enzymes that utilize the energy derived human origin by Western Blotting (starting dilution 1:200, dilution range from NTP hydrolysis to modulate the structure of RNA. RNA helicases par - 1:100-1:1000), immunoprecipitation [1-2 µg per 100-500 µg of total protein ticipate in all biological processes that involve RNA, including transcription, (1 ml of cell lysate)], immunofluorescence (starting dilution 1:50, dilution splicing and translation. range 1:50-1:500) and solid phase ELISA (starting dilution 1:30, dilution range 1:30-1:3000).
