SFPQ and NONO are involved in all steps of post-transcriptional regulation and are primarily located in mammalian paraspeckles: liquid phase-separated, ribonucleoprotein sub-nuclear bodies templated by NEAT1 long non-coding RNA. A combination of structured and low-complexity regions provide polyvalent interaction interfaces that facilitate homo- and heterodimerisation, polymerisation, interactions with oligonucleotides, mRNA, long non-coding RNA, and liquid phase-separation, all of which have been implicated in cellular homeostasis and neurological diseases including neuroblastoma. The strength and competition of these interaction modes define the ability of DBHS proteins to dissociate from paraspeckles to fulfil functional roles throughout the nucleus or the cytoplasm. In this study, we define and dissect the coiled-coil interactions which promote the polymerisation of DBHS proteins, using a crystal structure of an SFPQ/NONO heterodimer which reveals a flexible coiled-coil interaction interface which differs from previous studies. We support this through extensive solution small-angle X-ray scattering experiments using a panel of SFPQ/NONO heterodimer variants which are capable of tetramerisation to varying extents. The QM mutant displayed a negligible amount of tetramerisation (quadruple loss of function coiled-coil mutant L535A/L539A/L546A/M549A), the Charged Single Alpha Helix (ΔCSAH) variant displayed a dimer-tetramer equilibrium interaction, and the disulfide-forming variant displayed constitutive tetramerisation (R542C which mimics the pathological Drosophila nonAdiss allele). We demonstrate that newly characterised coiled-coil interfaces play a role in the polymerisation of DBHS proteins in addition to the previously described canonical coiled-coil interface. The detail of these interactions provides insight into a process critical for the assembly of paraspeckles as well as the behaviour of SFPQ as a transcription factor, and general multipurpose auxiliary protein with functions essential to mammalian life. Our understanding of the coiled coil behaviour of SFPQ also enhances the explanatory power of mutations (often disease-associated) observed in the DBHS family, potentially allowing for the development of future medical options such as targeted gene therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":19471,"journal":{"name":"Nucleic Acids Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142854860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we used quantitative mass spectrometry to analyze the differential fractionation of RNA-protein complexes after RNase treatment in density gradients yielding 333 RNA-associated proteins, while a bioinformatic prediction yielded 311 RBP candidates in Nostoc sp.

Alr1700 is an RBP with two oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB)-fold-like domains that is differentially expressed in heterocysts and interacts with non-coding regulatory RNAs. Deletion of alr1700 led to complete deregulation of the cell differentiation process, a striking increase in the number of heterocyst-like cells, and was ultimately lethal in the absence of combined nitrogen.

Despite histone deacetylation being an apparently repressive activity, suppression of HDACs causes both up- and downregulation of gene expression. Here we exploited the degradation tag (dTAG) system to rapidly degrade HDAC1 in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) lacking its paralog, HDAC2. The dTAG system allowed specific degradation and removal of HDAC1 in <1 h (100x faster than genetic knockouts). This rapid degradation caused increased histone acetylation in as little as 2 h, with H2BK5 and H2BK11 being the most sensitive. The majority of differentially expressed genes following 2 h of HDAC1 degradation were upregulated (275 genes up versus 15 down) with increased proportions of downregulated genes observed at 6 h (1153 up versus 443 down) and 24 h (1146 up versus 967 down), respectively. Upregulated genes showed increased H2BK5ac and H3K27ac around their transcriptional start site (TSS). In contrast, decreased acetylation and chromatin accessibility of super-enhancers was linked to the most strongly downregulated genes. These findings suggest a paradoxical role for HDAC1 in the maintenance of histone acetylation levels at critical enhancer regions required for the pluripotency-associated gene network.</p>","PeriodicalId":19471,"journal":{"name":"Nucleic Acids Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142865034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we demonstrate the complete independence of a group II intron from protein cofactors in all intron-catalyzed reactions. The ribozyme is capable of fully reverse splicing into single-stranded DNA targets in vitro, readily hydrolyzes DNA substrates and is even able to unwind and react with stably duplexed DNA.

This phage ‘nucleus’ compartmentalises phage DNA replication and transcription, and shields the phage genome from DNA-targeting defence systems such as CRISPR-Cas and restriction-modification. Their insensitivity to DNA-targeting defences makes nucleus-forming jumbo phages attractive for phage therapy. However, little is known about the bacterial gene requirements during the infectious cycle of nucleus-forming phages or how phage resistance may emerge. To address this, we used the Serratia nucleus-forming jumbo phage PCH45 and exploited a combination of high-throughput transposon mutagenesis and deep sequencing (Tn-seq), and CRISPR interference (CRISPRi). We identified over 90 host genes involved in nucleus-forming phage infection, the majority of which were either involved in the biosynthesis of the primary receptor, flagella, or influenced swimming motility. In addition, the bacterial outer membrane lipopolysaccharide contributed to PCH45 adsorption. Other unrelated Serratia-flagellotropic phages used similar host genes as the nucleus-forming phage, indicating that phage resistance can lead to cross-resistance against diverse phages. Our findings demonstrate that resistance to nucleus-forming jumbo phages can readily emerge via bacterial surface receptor mutation and this should be a major factor when designing strategies for their use in phage therapy.","PeriodicalId":19471,"journal":{"name":"Nucleic Acids Research","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142848979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
