摘要

尽管Argonaute(AGO)蛋白一直是microRNA(miRNA)研究的重点,但我们观察到不含AGO的成熟miRNA直接与RNA结合蛋白相互作用,这意味着miRNA微调基因调控的复杂性。为了在全球范围内研究microRNA结合蛋白(miRBPs),我们分析了PAR-CLIP数据集,发现RBP quaking(QKI)是let-7b的新型miRBP。通过测量基因工程AGO缺失的人类和小鼠细胞中的miRNA水平,进一步验证了不含AGO的miRNA的潜在存在。我们的研究表明,QKI 在多个步骤上调控 miRNA 介导的基因沉默,并共同作为辅助因子赋予 AGO2/let-7b 介导的基因沉默权力。消耗 QKI 会减少 AGO2 与 let-7b 和目的 mRNA 的相互作用,从而控制目的 mRNA 的衰变。这一发现表明,QKI 是 miRNA 介导的 mRNA 衰减过程中的一个互补因子。然而,QKI 也抑制了 let-7b 与 AGO2 的解离,并在单分子水平上减缓了 AGO2/miRNA/ 目标 mRNA 复合物的组装。我们还发现,QKI 的过表达在转录后水平抑制了 cMYC 的表达,并降低了 HeLa 细胞的增殖和迁移,这表明 QKI 在一定程度上增强了 let-7b 的活性,是一种肿瘤抑制基因。我们的数据表明,QKI 是一种新型 RBP,与 miRNA 介导的基因沉默的多功能调控有关。

Mature microRNA-binding protein QKI promotes microRNA-mediated gene silencing.

Although Argonaute (AGO) proteins have been the focus of microRNA (miRNA) studies, we observed AGO-free mature miRNAs directly interacting with RNA-binding proteins, implying the sophisticated nature of fine-tuning gene regulation by miRNAs. To investigate microRNA-binding proteins (miRBPs) globally, we analyzed PAR-CLIP data sets to identify RBP quaking (QKI) as a novel miRBP for let-7b. Potential existence of AGO-free miRNAs were further verified by measuring miRNA levels in genetically engineered AGO-depleted human and mouse cells. We have shown that QKI regulates miRNA-mediated gene silencing at multiple steps, and collectively serves as an auxiliary factor empowering AGO2/let-7b-mediated gene silencing. Depletion of QKI decreases interaction of AGO2 with let-7b and target mRNA, consequently controlling target mRNA decay. This finding indicates that QKI is a complementary factor in miRNA-mediated mRNA decay. QKI, however, also suppresses the dissociation of let-7b from AGO2, and slows the assembly of AGO2/miRNA/target mRNA complexes at the single-molecule level. We also revealed that QKI overexpression suppresses cMYC expression at post-transcriptional level, and decreases proliferation and migration of HeLa cells, demonstrating that QKI is a tumour suppressor gene by in part augmenting let-7b activity. Our data show that QKI is a new type of RBP implicated in the versatile regulation of miRNA-mediated gene silencing.
