    Abstract Summary: RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) can bind and mediate RNA-RNA contacts. However, identifying specific RBP-organized RNA-RNA contacts remains challenging. Here, we present a capture RIC-seq (CRIC-seq) technique to map specific RBP-associated RNA-RNA contacts globally. We describe steps for formaldehyde cross-linking to fix RNA in situ conformation, pCp-biotin labeling to mark RNA juncture, and in situ proximity ligation to join proximal RNAs. We then detail immunoprecipitation to isolate specific RBP-associated RNA-RNA contacts, biotin-streptavidin selection to enrich chimeric RNAs, and library construction for paired-end sequencing.For complete information on the generation and use of this protocol, please refer to Ye et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.

    Abstract Skeletal muscle stem cells (also known as satellite cells [SCs]) are essential for muscle regeneration and the regenerative activities of SCs are intrinsically governed by gene regulatory mechanisms, but the post-transcriptional regulation in SCs remains largely unknown. N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of RNAs is the most pervasive and highly conserved RNA modification in eukaryotic cells; it exerts powerful impact on almost all aspects of mRNA processing that is mainly endowed by its binding with m6A reader proteins. In this study, we investigate the previously uncharacterized regulatory roles of YTHDC1, an m6A reader in mouse SCs. Our results demonstrate that YTHDC1 is an essential regulator of SC activation and proliferation upon acute injury-induced muscle regeneration. The induction of YTHDC1 is indispensable for SC activation and proliferation; thus, inducible YTHDC1 depletion almost abolishes SC regenerative capacity. Mechanistically, transcriptome-wide profiling using LACE-seq in both SCs and mouse C2C12 myoblasts identifies m6A-mediated binding targets of YTHDC1. Next, splicing analysis defines splicing mRNA targets of m6A-YTHDC1. Furthermore, nuclear export analysis also leads to the identification of potential mRNA export targets of m6A-YTHDC1 in SCs and C2C12 myoblasts;interestingly, some mRNAs can be regulated at both splicing and export levels. Lastly, we map YTHDC1 interacting protein partners in myoblasts and unveil a myriad of factors governing mRNA splicing, nuclear export, and transcription, among which hnRNPG appears to be a bona fide interacting partner of YTHDC1. Altogether, our findings uncover YTHDC1 as an essential factor controlling SC regenerative ability through multifaceted gene regulatory mechanisms in mouse myoblast cells.

    Abstract Abstract Maternal messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) are driven by a highly orchestrated scheme of recruitment to polysomes and translational activation. However, selecting and regulating individual mRNAs for the translation from a competitive pool of mRNAs are little‐known processes. This research shows that the maternal eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4e1b (Eif4e1b) expresses during the oocyte‐to‐embryo transition (OET), and maternal deletion of Eif4e1b leads to multiple defects concerning oogenesis and embryonic developmental competence during OET. The linear amplification of complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) ends, and sequencing (LACE‐seq) is used to identify the distinct subset of mRNA and its CG‐rich binding sites within the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) targeted by eIF4E1B. The proteomics analyses indicate that eIF4E1B‐specific bound genes show stronger downregulation at the protein level, which further verify a group of proteins that plays a crucial role in oocyte maturation and embryonic developmental competence is insufficiently synthesized in Eif4e1b‐cKO oocytes during OET. Moreover, the biochemical results in vitro are combined to further confirm the maternal‐specific translation activation model assembled by eIF4E1B and 3′UTR‐associated mRNA binding proteins. The findings demonstrate the indispensability of eIF4E1B for selective translation activation in mammalian oocytes and provide a potential network regulated by eIF4E1B in OET.

    Abstract Skeletal muscle stem cells (or satellite cells, SCs) are normally quiescent but activate and expand in response to injury. Here the authors show that induction of DHX36 helicase during SC activation promotes mRNA translation by binding to 5′UTR mRNA G-quadruplexes (rG4) in targets including Gnai2 and unwinding them.

    Abstract Recent advances in trans-differentiation of one type cell to another have made it possible to directly convert Huntington's disease (HD) patient fibroblasts into neurons by modulation of cell-lineage-specific transcription factors or RNA processing. However, this possibility has not been examined. Here, we demonstrate that HD patient-derived fibroblasts can be directly trans-differentiated into neuron-like cells by knockdown of the expression of a single gene encoding the polypyrimidine-tract-binding protein. The directly converted HD neuron-like cells were positive in expression of Tuj1, NeuN, DARPP-32, and γ-aminobutyric acid and exhibited neuritic breakdown, abnormal neuritic branching, increased cell death, and aggregation of mutant huntingtin. These observations indicate that the neuron-like cells directly converted from HD patient fibroblasts recapitulate the major aspects of neuropathological characteristics of HD and thus provide an additional model for understanding the disorder and validation of therapeutic reagents.

    Abstract Heart failure is characterized by the transition from an initial compensatory response to decompensation, which can be partially mimicked by transverse aortic constriction (TAC) in rodent models. Numerous signaling molecules have been shown to be part of the compensatory program, but relatively little is known about the transition to decompensation that leads to heart failure. Here, we show that TAC potently decreases the RBFox2 protein in the mouse heart, and cardiac ablation of this critical splicing regulator generates many phenotypes resembling those associated with decompensation in the failing heart. Global analysis reveals that RBFox2 regulates splicing of many genes implicated in heart function and disease. A subset of these genes undergoes developmental regulation during postnatal heart remodeling, which is reversed in TAC-treated and RBFox2 knockout mice. These findings suggest that RBFox2 may be a critical stress sensor during pressure overload-induced heart failure.

    Abstract Increasing evidence suggests that diverse RNA binding proteins (RBPs) interact with regulatory RNAs to regulate transcription. RBFox2 is a well-characterized pre-mRNA splicing regulator, but we now encounter an unexpected paradigm where depletion of this RBP induces widespread increase in nascent RNA production in diverse cell types. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) reveals extensive interaction of RBFox2 with chromatin in a nascent RNA-dependent manner. Bayesian network analysis connects RBFox2 to Polycomb complex 2 (PRC2) and H3K27me3, and biochemical experiments demonstrate the ability of RBFox2 to directly interact with PRC2. Strikingly, RBFox2 inactivation eradicates PRC2 targeting on the majority of bivalent gene promoters and leads to transcriptional de-repression. Together, these findings uncover a mechanism underlying the enigmatic association of PRC2 with numerous active genes, highlight the importance of gene body sequences to gauge transcriptional output, and suggest nascent RNAs as critical signals for transcriptional feedback control to maintain homeostatic gene expression in mammalian genomes.

    Abstract MicroRNAs are well known to mediate translational repression and mRNA degradation in the cytoplasm. Various microRNAs have also been detected in membrane-compartmentalized organelles, but the functional significance has remained elusive. Here, we report that miR-1, a microRNA specifically induced during myogenesis, efficiently enters the mitochondria where it unexpectedly stimulates, rather than represses, the translation of specific mitochondrial genome-encoded transcripts. We show that this positive effect requires specific miR:mRNA base-pairing and Ago2, but not its functional partner GW182, which is excluded from the mitochondria. We provide evidence for the direct action of Ago2 in mitochondrial translation by crosslinking immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing (CLIP-seq), functional rescue with mitochondria-targeted Ago2, and selective inhibition of the microRNA machinery in the cytoplasm. These findings unveil a positive function of microRNA in mitochondrial translation and suggest a highly coordinated myogenic program via miR-1-mediated translational stimulation in the mitochondria and repression in the cytoplasm.

    Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases can occur so early as to affect neurodevelopment. From a cohort of more than 2,000 consanguineous families with childhood neurological disease, we identified a founder mutation in four independent pedigrees in cleavage and polyadenylation factor I subunit 1 (CLP1). CLP1 is a multifunctional kinase implicated in tRNA, mRNA, and siRNA maturation. Kinase activity of the CLP1 mutant protein was defective, and the tRNA endonuclease complex (TSEN) was destabilized, resulting in impaired pre-tRNA cleavage. Germline clp1 null zebrafish showed cerebellar neurodegeneration that was rescued by wild-type, but not mutant, human CLP1 expression. Patient-derived induced neurons displayed both depletion of mature tRNAs and accumulation of unspliced pre-tRNAs. Transfection of partially processed tRNA fragments into patient cells exacerbated an oxidative stress-induced reduction in cell survival. Our data link tRNA maturation to neuronal development and neurodegeneration through defective CLP1 function in humans.
