Plant Physiol 176: 254–269 vi ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Characterization of the DHH1/DDX6-Like RNA Helicase Family in Arabidopsis thaliana by Thanin Chantarachot Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in Genetics, Genomics and Bioinformatics University of California, Riverside, December 2018 Dr. Julia Bailey-Serres, Chairperson General cytoplasmic mRNA turnover in eukaryotes is governed by two major pathways: 5’-to-3’ decay initiated by the multi-subunit mRNA decapping complex and carried out by EXORIBONUCLEASE 1/4 and 3’-to-5’ decay executed by the RNA exosome or the 3’-to- 5’ exoribonuclease SUPPRESSOR OF VARICOSE (SOV). In yeast and metazoa, DEAD- box RNA helicase DHH1/DDX6 proteins are associated with the decapping complex and involved in translational repression and/or mRNA degradation. In this dissertation, RNA HELICASE 6, 8 and 12 (RH6, RH8 and RH12) were identified as orthologs of the DHH1/DDX6 family in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Genetic analysis uncovered that the genes RH6, RH8 and RH12 are functionally redundant and indispensable for growth and development, as the triple homozygous rh6 rh8 rh12 mutant displays pleiotropic phenotypes including delayed germination, altered vein patterning, and severe maturation defects including infertility. By use of confocal microscopy, we found that all the three RHs are nucleocytoplasmic proteins, with the cytoplasmic portion forming stress-inducible vii cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein complexes associated with both processing bodies (PBs) and stress granules (SGs). Evaluation of PB and SGs in the triple homozygous mutant rh6 rh8 rh12 indicated that the RHs are required for PB but not SG formation. Genome- wide analysis of RNA decay kinetics in the rh6 rh8 rh12 mutant by genome-scale RNA- sequencing revealed that the RHs mediate degradation of short-lived mRNAs with diverse biological functions, the majority of which are putative substrates of the 5’ to 3’ decapping- mediated decay pathway. Further genome-scale polyadenylated mRNA and polyadenylated ribosome-associated mRNA analysis revealed that co-disruption of these RHs perturbed transcriptome and translatome homeostasis, characterized by an increase in the steady-state mRNA abundance and translational status of stress- and defense- response transcripts and the simultaneous repression in accumulation of growth and development-associated transcripts. Genetic analysis determined that the growth defects of rh6 rh8 rh12 are not related to small interfering RNA production, but caused by a constitutive immune response linked with stabilization and enhanced ribosome occupancy of defense-related mRNAs. The phenotypes, constitutive elevation of stress/defense- response mRNAs and repression of growth-related mRNAs was alleviated by (over)expression of a functional SOV allele. This study determined the plant DDH1/DDX6 orthologs are a variable component of the 5’ to 3’ decay machinery that accelerates decay of growth limiting defense-associated transcripts under non-stress conditions. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1 Polysomes, Stress Granules and Processing Bodies: A Dynamic Triumvirate Controlling Cytoplasmic mRNA Fate and Function……. 1 1.1 ADVANCES…………..……………..………………………..………………..………. 1 1.2 INTRODUCTION……..……………..……………..……………..…………………… 1 1.3 CONNECTIONS BETWEEN mRNA DECAY AND TRANSLATION……..………. 2 1.3.1 mRNA surveillance-triggered decay………..…….……………..………........ 3 1.3.2 XRN4-mediated co-translational decay……..………………..……………… 4 1.3.3 miRNA-triggered decay of translating mRNAs……..………………..……… 6 1.4 GENERAL CYTOPLASMIC mRNA DEGRADATION……..………………..……... 8 1.4.1 Deadenylation……..………………..………………..………………..……….. 9 1.4.2 Decapping……..………………..………………..………………..…………… 11 1.4.3 5’-3’ degradation……..………………..………………..………………..……. 15 1.4.4 3’-5’ degradation……..………………..………………..………………..……. 15 1.5 mRNA SEQUESTRATION IN STRESS GRANULES – A TRANSIT DEPOT BETWEEN TRANSLATION, STORAGE AND DECAY?...................................... 17 1.6 HETEROGENEOUS MACROMOLECULAR HUBs OF CYTOPLASMIC mRNA TRANSLATION, TURNOVER AND SEQUESTRATION……..………………..….

  • Changes in Poly(A) Tail Length Dynamics from the Loss of the Circadian Deadenylase Nocturnin
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Changes in poly(A) tail length dynamics from the loss of the circadian deadenylase Nocturnin Received: 16 February 2015 1,2 2 1 1 1 Accepted: 21 October 2015 Shihoko Kojima , Kerry L. Gendreau , Elaine L. Sher-Chen , Peng Gao & Carla B. Green Published: 20 November 2015 mRNA poly(A) tails are important for mRNA stability and translation, and enzymes that regulate the poly(A) tail length significantly impact protein profiles. There are eleven putative deadenylases in mammals, and it is thought that each targets specific transcripts, although this has not been clearly demonstrated. Nocturnin (NOC) is a unique deadenylase with robustly rhythmic expression and loss of Noc in mice (Noc KO) results in resistance to diet-induced obesity. In an attempt to identify target transcripts of NOC, we performed “poly(A)denylome” analysis, a method that measures poly(A) tail length of transcripts in a global manner, and identified 213 transcripts that have extended poly(A) tails in Noc KO liver. These transcripts share unexpected characteristics: they are short in length, have long half-lives, are actively translated, and gene ontology analyses revealed that they are enriched in functions in ribosome and oxidative phosphorylation pathways. However, most of these transcripts do not exhibit rhythmicity in poly(A) tail length or steady-state mRNA level, despite Noc’s robust rhythmicity. Therefore, even though the poly(A) tail length dynamics seen between genotypes may not result from direct NOC deadenylase activity, these data suggest that NOC exerts strong effects on physiology through direct and indirect control of target mRNAs.

Midha _______________________________ _______________________________ Committee Member Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Yingcai Xiao Dr. George R. Newkome _______________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT A tremendous increase in genomic data has encouraged biologists to turn to bioinformatics in order to assist in its interpretation and processing. One of the present challenges that need to be overcome in order to understand this data more completely is the development of a reliable method to accurately predict the function of a protein from its genomic information. This study focuses on developing an effective algorithm for protein function prediction. The algorithm is based on proteins that have similar expression patterns. The similarity of the expression data is determined using a novel measure, the slope matrix. The slope matrix introduces a normalized method for the comparison of expression levels throughout a proteome. The algorithm is tested using real microarray gene expression data. Their functions are characterized using gene ontology annotations. The results of the case study indicate the protein function prediction algorithm developed is comparable to the prediction algorithms that are based on the annotations of homologous proteins.

    THE ROLE OF THE MTOR PATHWAY IN DEVELOPMENTAL REPROGRAMMING OF HEPATIC LIPID METABOLISM AND THE HEPATIC TRANSCRIPTOME AFTER EXPOSURE TO 2,2',4,4'- TETRABROMODIPHENYL ETHER (BDE-47) An Honors Thesis Presented By JOSEPH PAUL MCGAUNN Approved as to style and content by: ________________________________________________________** Alexander Suvorov 05/18/20 10:40 ** Chair ________________________________________________________** Laura V Danai 05/18/20 10:51 ** Committee Member ________________________________________________________** Scott C Garman 05/18/20 10:57 ** Honors Program Director ABSTRACT An emerging hypothesis links the epidemic of metabolic diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and diabetes with chemical exposures during development. Evidence from our lab and others suggests that developmental exposure to environmentally prevalent flame-retardant BDE47 may permanently reprogram hepatic lipid metabolism, resulting in an NAFLD-like phenotype. Additionally, we have demonstrated that BDE-47 alters the activity of both mTOR complexes (mTORC1 and 2) in hepatocytes. The mTOR pathway integrates environmental information from different signaling pathways, and regulates key cellular functions such as lipid metabolism, innate immunity, and ribosome biogenesis. Thus, we hypothesized that the developmental effects of BDE-47 on liver lipid metabolism are mTOR-dependent. To assess this, we generated mice with liver-specific deletions of mTORC1 or mTORC2 and exposed these mice and their respective controls perinatally to

Geschwind, Chair Neuropsychiatric disorders are behavioral conditions marked by intellectual, social, or emotional deficits that can be linked to diseases of the nervous system. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar disorder (BP), major depressive disorder (MDD), and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are common, heritable diseases each with a prevalence exceeding 1% of the population, none of which can be characterized by discernable anatomical or neurological pathologies. Genetic association studies have identified mutations in hundreds of genes that contribute to risk for at least one of these disorders, and have shown that a substantial fraction of the genetic liability is shared between many of these neuropsychiatric diseases. It has long been hoped that with enough genetic evidence we will identify the biological pathways, developmental time points, and brain regions that, when disrupted, give rise to neuropsychiatric disorders.

    Copyright © 2005 by the Genetics Society of America DOI: 10.1534/genetics.104.034322 Mutations in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae LSM1 Gene That Affect mRNA Decapping and 3؅ End Protection Sundaresan Tharun,*,1 Denise Muhlrad,† Ashis Chowdhury* and Roy Parker† *Department of Biochemistry, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland 20814-4799 and †Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721 Manuscript received August 6, 2004 Accepted for publication January 20, 2005 ABSTRACT The decapping of eukaryotic mRNAs is a key step in their degradation. The heteroheptameric Lsm1p–7p complex is a general activator of decapping and also functions in protecting the 3Ј ends of deadenylated mRNAs from a 3Ј-trimming reaction. Lsm1p is the unique member of the Lsm1p–7p complex, distinguish- ing that complex from the functionally different Lsm2p–8p complex. To understand the function of Lsm1p, we constructed a series of deletion and point mutations of the LSM1 gene and examined their effects on phenotype. These studies revealed the following: (i) Mutations affecting the predicted RNA- binding and inter-subunit interaction residues of Lsm1p led to impairment of mRNA decay, suggesting that the integrity of the Lsm1p–7p complex and the ability of the Lsm1p–7p complex to interact with mRNA are important for mRNA decay function; (ii) mutations affecting the predicted RNA contact residues did not affect the localization of the Lsm1p–7p complex to the P-bodies; (iii) mRNA 3Ј-end protection could be indicative of the binding of the Lsm1p–7p complex to the mRNA prior to activation of decapping, since all the mutants defective in mRNA 3Ј end protection were also blocked in mRNA decay; and (iv) in addition to the Sm domain, the C-terminal domain of Lsm1p is also important for mRNA decay function.

Of these, 236 (64%) are conserved within promoter sequences of four related organisms: human, mouse, rat and dog. However, transcription factors (TFs) interacting with the M8 motif have not yet been described. We previously reported the use of quantitative proteomics coupled to one-step DNA affinity purification as a means of screening for TFs associated with given functional DNA elements. The procedure is performed in-vitro employing SILAC-labeled nuclear extracts and making use of well-characterized cis-regulatory motifs. Building on that, in this study we have combined our method with statistical analysis to filter out false positive hits from the one-step DNA affinity pull-down experiments. This resulted in the identification of zinc finger BED domain-containing protein 1 (ZBED1), alpha globin transcription factor CP2 (TFCP2), upstream binding protein 1 (UBP) and transcription factor CP2 like 1(TFCP2L1), as specific M8 interacting factors.
