    Abstract Subcellular localization of messenger RNA (mRNA) is a widespread phenomenon that can impact the regulation and function of the encoded protein. In nonneuronal cells, specific mRNAs localize to cell protrusions, and proper mRNA localization is required for cell migration. However, the mechanisms by which mRNA localization regulates protein function in this setting remain unclear. Here, we examined the functional consequences of localization of the mRNA encoding KIF1C. KIF1C is a kinesin motor protein required for cell migration and mRNA trafficking, including trafficking of its own mRNA. We show that

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) post-transcriptionally repress gene expression by guiding Argonaute (AGO) proteins to target mRNAs. While much is known about the regulation of miRNA biogenesis, miRNA degradation pathways are comparatively poorly understood. Although miRNAs generally exhibit slow turnover, they can be rapidly degraded through regulated mechanisms that act in a context- or sequence-specific manner. Recent work has revealed a particularly important role for specialized target interactions in controlling rates of miRNA degradation. Engagement of these targets is associated with the addition and removal of nucleotides from the 3' ends of miRNAs, a process known as tailing and trimming. Here we review these mechanisms of miRNA modification and turnover, highlighting the contexts in which they impact miRNA stability and discussing important questions that remain unanswered.

    Abstract Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) that trigger RNase-H-mediated cleavage are commonly used to knock down transcripts for experimental or therapeutic purposes. In particular, ASOs are frequently used to functionally interrogate long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and discriminate lncRNA loci that produce functional RNAs from those whose activity is attributable to the act of transcription. Transcription termination is triggered by cleavage of nascent transcripts, generally during polyadenylation, resulting in degradation of the residual RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-associated RNA by XRN2 and dissociation of elongating Pol II. Here, we show that ASOs act upon nascent transcripts and, consequently, induce premature transcription termination downstream of the cleavage site in an XRN2-dependent manner. Targeting the transcript 3' end with ASOs, however, allows transcript knockdown while preserving Pol II association with the gene body. These results demonstrate that the effects of ASOs on transcription must be considered for appropriate experimental and therapeutic use of these reagents.

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression that play critical roles in development and disease. Target-directed miRNA degradation (TDMD), a pathway in which miRNAs that bind to specialized targets with extensive complementarity are rapidly decayed, has emerged as a potent mechanism of controlling miRNA levels. Nevertheless, the biological role and scope of miRNA regulation by TDMD in mammals remains poorly understood. To address these questions, we generated mice with constitutive or conditional deletion of

    Abstract Over the last decade, it has been increasingly demonstrated that the genomes of many species are pervasively transcribed, resulting in the production of numerous long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). At the same time, it is now appreciated that many types of DNA regulatory elements, such as enhancers and promoters, regularly initiate bi-directional transcription. Thus, discerning functional noncoding transcripts from a vast transcriptome is a paramount priority, and challenge, for the lncRNA field. In this review, we aim to provide a conceptual and experimental framework for classifying and elucidating lncRNA function. We categorize lncRNA loci into those that regulate gene expression in cis versus those that perform functions in trans and propose an experimental approach to dissect lncRNA activity based on these classifications. These strategies to further understand lncRNAs promise to reveal new and unanticipated biology with great potential to advance our understanding of normal physiology and disease.
