Substantial headway has been made in deciphering many aspects of this elaborate system, particularly with respect to epigenetics, transcription, and noncoding RNAs. Less attention has been paid to posttranscriptional regulatory processes such as alternative splicing, RNA processing and modification, nuclear export, regulation of transcript stability, and translation. Here, we introduce the RNA binding proteins that enable the posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression, summarizing current and ongoing research on their roles at different regulatory points and discussing how they help script the fate of pluripotent stem cells.

Here, we report zonation- dependent transcriptomic changes in aged mouse brain endothelial cells (ECs), which pro- minently implicate altered immune/cytokine signaling in ECs of all vascular segments, and functional changes impacting the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and glucose/energy metabolism especially in capillary ECs (capECs). An overrepresentation of Alzheimer disease (AD) GWAS genes is evident among the human orthologs of the differentially expressed genes of aged capECs, while comparative analysis revealed a subset of concordantly downregulated, functionally important genes in human AD brains. Treatment with exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, strongly reverses aged mouse brain EC transcriptomic changes and BBB leakage, with associated attenuation of microglial priming. We thus revealed tran- scriptomic alterations underlying brain EC ageing that are complex yet pharmacologically reversible.

    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.

Pearson Novel Roles for the Terminal RNA Uridylyltransferases ZCCHC6 and ZCCHC11 in Development and Disease Abstract Terminal RNA uridylyltransferases (TUTases) are a class of non-canonical polyadenylate polymerases that are thought to function primarily by adding non-templated uridines to the 3’ ends of a wide range of RNA targets. Recently, two TUTases, ZCCHC6 and ZCCHC11, were shown to uridylate mRNAs, thereby marking them for degradation. While RNA uridylation is emerging as a potent mechanism of post-transcriptional gene regulation, uridylation-independent functions of TUTases have also been reported.

  • AGO-Bound Mature Mirnas Are Oligouridylated by Tuts and Subsequently Degraded by DIS3L2
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-16533-w OPEN AGO-bound mature miRNAs are oligouridylated by TUTs and subsequently degraded by DIS3L2 Acong Yang 1,4, Tie-Juan Shao1,2,4, Xavier Bofill-De Ros 1,4, Chuanjiang Lian1,3, Patricia Villanueva1, ✉ Lisheng Dai1 & Shuo Gu 1 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) associated with Argonaute proteins (AGOs) regulate gene expression in mammals. miRNA 3’ ends are subject to frequent sequence modifications, which have been 1234567890():,; proposed to affect miRNA stability. However, the underlying mechanism is not well under- stood. Here, by genetic and biochemical studies as well as deep sequencing analyses, we find that AGO mutations disrupting miRNA 3’ binding are sufficient to trigger extensive miRNA 3’ modifications in HEK293T cells and in cancer patients. Comparing these modifications in TUT4, TUT7 and DIS3L2 knockout cells, we find that TUT7 is more robust than TUT4 in oligouridylating mature miRNAs, which in turn leads to their degradation by the DIS3L2 exonuclease. Our findings indicate a decay machinery removing AGO-associated miRNAs with an exposed 3’ end. A set of endogenous miRNAs including miR-7, miR-222 and miR-769 are targeted by this machinery presumably due to target-directed miRNA degradation. 1 RNA Mediated Gene Regulation Section; RNA Biology Laboratory, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, MD 21702, USA. 2 School of Basic Medicine, Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou 310053, China. 3 State Key Laboratory of Veterinary Biotechnology and Heilongjiang Province Key Laboratory for Laboratory Animal and Comparative Medicine, Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of ✉ Agricultural Sciences, Harbin 150069, China.

Abstract microRNAs are frequently modified by addition of untemplated nucleotides to the 3' end, but the role of this tailing is often unclear. Here we characterize the prevalence and functional consequences of microRNA tailing in vivo, using the C. elegans model. MicroRNA tailing in C. elegans consists mostly of mono- uridylation of mature microRNA species, with rarer mono-adenylation which is likely added to microRNA precursors. Through a targeted RNAi screen, we discover that the TUT4/TUT7 gene family member CID- 1/CDE-1/PUP-1 is required for uridylation, whereas the GLD2 gene family member F31C3.2 is required for adenylation.

From an early age, you two instilled in me the value of education and have been my biggest cheerleaders throughout my entire life. I thank you for your unconditional love, encouragement, sacrifices, and support. I would not be here today without you. I truly thank God that out of the all of the people in the world that He could have chosen to be my parents, that He chose the two of you.

Batista Correspondence [email protected] (M.G.), [email protected] (F.D.B.) In Brief NKT cells are required for the initial formation of germinal centers and production of effective neutralizing antibody responses against viruses. Highlights d NKT cells promote B cell immunity upon viral infection d NKT cells are primed by lymph-node-resident macrophages d NKT cells produce early IL-4 wave at the follicular borders d Early IL-4 wave is required for efficient seeding of germinal centers Gaya et al., 2018, Cell 172, 517–533 January 25, 2018 ª 2017 The Authors.
