    Abstract Fused in sarcoma/translocated in liposarcoma (FUS/TLS) is a multitasking RNA/DNA binding protein. FUS aggregation is implicated in various neurodegenerative diseases. RNA was suggested to modulate phase transition of FUS. Here, we found that FUS transforms into the amorphous aggregation state as an instant response to the shear stress caused by usual pipetting even at a low FUS concentration, 100 nM. It was revealed that non-coding RNA can suppress the transformation of FUS into aggregates. The suppressive effect of RNA on FUS aggregation is sequence-dependent. These results suggested that the non-coding RNA could be a prospective suppressor of FUS aggregation caused by mechanistic stress in cells. Our finding might pave the way for more research on the role of RNAs as aggregation inhibitors, which could facilitate the development of therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.

    Abstract The function of protease during male meiosis has not been well studied. We previously cloned and characterized four testis-specific serine proteases in the mouse testis. One of the proteases, Prss41/Tessp-1, was expressed in the germ and Sertoli cell. This time, to examine the involvement of Prss41/Tessp-1 in spermatogenesis, we conducted the organ culture of testis fragments in the presence of the anti-Prss41/Tessp-1 antibody. Because in the Sertoli cell, the Prss41/Tessp-1 protein was mostly associated with the membrane of intracellular organelles by glycosylphosphatidylinositol, the antibody was expected to affect Prss41/Tessp-1 at the plasma membrane of spermatogonia. By adding the antibody, the number of germ cells was decreased in some seminiferous tubules. The marker genes expression strongly suggested that meiosis was arrested at spermatogonia, and the number of apoptotic germ cells increased by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay. These data indicated that Prss41/Tessp-1 was necessary for the progression of meiosis at the stage of spermatogonia during in vitro spermatogenesis. Together with our previous study, the current results suggest that the Prss/Tessp proteases are important for the progression of meiosis at each stage.

    Abstract Translocated in liposarcoma (TLS)/fused in sarcoma (FUS) is a multitasking DNA/RNA binding protein implicated in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Upon DNA damage, TLS is recruited to the upstream region of the cyclin D1 gene (CCND1) through binding to the promotor associated non-coding RNA (pncRNA) that is transcribed from and tethered at the upstream region. Binding to pncRNA is hypothesized to cause the conformational change of TLS that enables its inhibitive interaction with histone acetyltransferases and resultant repression of CCND1 expression, although no experimental proof has been obtained. Here, the closed-to-open conformational change of TLS on binding pncRNA was implied by fluorescence resonance energy transfer. A small fragment (31 nucleotides) of the full-length pncRNA (602 nucleotides) was shown to be sufficient for the conformational change of TLS. Dissection of pncRNA identified the G-rich RNA sequence that is critical for the conformational change. The length of RNA was also revealed to be critical for the conformational change. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the conformational change of TLS is caused by another target DNA and RNA, telomeric DNA and telomeric repeat-containing RNA. The conformational change of TLS on binding target RNA/DNA is suggested to be essential for biological functions.

    Abstract Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is critical to the regression of Müllerian ducts during mammalian male differentiation and targets ovarian granulosa cells and testicular Sertoli and Leydig cells of adults. Specific effects of AMH are exerted via its receptor, AMH type II receptor (Amhr2), but the mechanism by which the Amhr2 gene is specifically activated is not fully understood. To see whether a proximal promoter was sufficient for Amhr2 gene activation, we generated transgenic mice that bore the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene driven by a 500-bp mouse Amhr2 gene promoter. None of the established 10 lines, however, showed appropriate EGFP expression, indicating that the 500-bp promoter was insufficient for Amhr2 gene activation. As a regulatory element, we found a long noncoding RNA, lncRNA-Amhr2, transcribed from upstream of the Amhr2 gene in ovarian granulosa cells and testicular Sertoli cells. In primary granulosa cells, knockdown of lncRNA-Amhr2 resulted in a decrease of Amhr2 messnger RNA level, and a transient reporter gene assay showed that lncRNA-Amhr2 activation increased Amhr2 promoter activity. The activity was correlated with lncRNA-Amhr2 transcription in stably transfected OV3121 cells derived from mouse granulosa cells. Moreover, by the Tet-on system, the induction of lncRNA-Amhr2 transcription dramatically increased Amhr2 promoter activity in OV3121 cells. These results indicate that lncRNA-Amhr2 plays a role in Amhr2 gene activation in ovarian granulosa cells by enhancing promoter activity, providing insight into Amhr2 gene regulation underlying the AMH signaling in the female reproductive system.

    Abstract Background: Translocated in LipoSarcoma (TLS, also known as FUsed in Sarcoma) is an RNA/DNA binding protein whose mutation cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In previous study, we demonstrated that TLS binds to long noncoding RNA, promoter-associated ncRNA-D (pncRNA-D), transcribed from the 5' upstream region of cyclin D1 (CCND1), and inhibits the expression of CCND1.
    Results: In order to elucidate the binding specificity between TLS and pncRNA-D, we divided pncRNA-D into seven fragments and examined the binding with full-length TLS, TLS-RGG2-zinc finger-RGG3, and TLS-RGG3 by RNA pull down assay. As a result, TLS was able to bind to all the seven fragments, but the fragments containing reported recognition motifs (GGUG and GGU) tend to bind more solidly. The full-length TLS and TLS-RGG2-zinc finger-RGG3 showed a similar interaction with pncRNA-D, but the binding specificity of TLS-RGG3 was lower compared to the full-length TLS and TLS-RGG2-zinc finger-RGG3. Mutation in GGUG and GGU motifs dramatically decreased the binding, and unexpectedly, we could only detect weak interaction with the RNA sequence with stem loop structure.
    Conclusion: The binding of TLS and pncRNA-D was affected by the presence of GGUG and GGU sequences, and the C terminal domains of TLS function in the interaction with pncRNA-D.

    Abstract Spermatogenesis is regulated by many meiotic stage-specific genes, but how they coordinate the many individual processes is not fully understood. The Prss/Tessp gene cluster is located on mouse chromosome 9F2-F3, and the three genes at this site (Prss42/Tessp-2, Prss43/Tessp-3, and Prss44/Tessp-4) are specifically activated during meiosis in pachytene spermatocytes. We searched for DNase I hypersensitive sites (HSs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) at the Prss/Tessp locus to elucidate how they are activated. We found eight DNase I HSs, three of which were testis germ cell-specific at or close to the Prss42/Tessp-2 promoter, and a testis-specific lncRNA, lncRNA-HSVIII, that was transcribed from a region adjacent to the Prss42/Tessp-2 gene. lncRNA-HSVIII transcripts localized to nuclei of most pachytene spermatocytes and the cytosol of stage-X pachytene spermatocytes and spermatids. Chromosome conformation capture revealed that the lncRNA-HSVIII locus specifically interacted with the Prss42/Tessp-2 promoter in primary and secondary spermatocytes. A 5.8-kb genome sequence, encompassing the entire lncRNA-HSVIII sequence and its flanking regions, significantly increased Prss42/Tessp-2 promoter activity using a reporter-gene assay, yet this construct did not change lncRNA-HSVIII expression, indicating that the elevated promoter activity was likely through enhancer activity. Indeed, both upstream and downstream regions of the lncRNA-HSVIII sequence significantly increased Prss42/Tessp-2 promoter activity. Our data therefore identified the direct interaction of a genomic region in the lncRNA-HSVIII locus with the Prss42/Tessp-2 promoter in spermatocytes, and suggested that sequences adjacent to the lncRNA function as enhancers for the Prss42/Tessp-2 gene.
