Post-transcriptional regulation

Last updated

Post-transcriptional regulation is the control of gene expression at the RNA level. It occurs once the RNA polymerase has been attached to the gene's promoter and is synthesizing the nucleotide sequence. Therefore, as the name indicates, it occurs between the transcription phase and the translation phase of gene expression. These controls are critical for the regulation of many genes across human tissues. [1] [2] It also plays a big role in cell physiology, being implicated in pathologies such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. [3]

Mechanism

After being produced, the stability and distribution of the different transcripts is regulated (post-transcriptional regulation) by means of RNA binding protein (RBP) that control the various steps and rates controlling events such as alternative splicing, nuclear degradation (exosome), processing, nuclear export (three alternative pathways), sequestration in P-bodies for storage or degradation and ultimately translation. These proteins achieve these events thanks to an RNA recognition motif (RRM) that binds a specific sequence or secondary structure of the transcripts, typically at the 5’ and 3’ UTR of the transcript. In short, the dsRNA sequences, which will be broken down into siRNA inside of the organism, will match up with the RNA to inhibit the gene expression in the cell.

Modulating the capping, splicing, addition of a Poly(A) tail, the sequence-specific nuclear export rates and in several contexts sequestration of the RNA transcript occurs in eukaryotes but not in prokaryotes. This modulation is a result of a protein or transcript which in turn is regulated and may have an affinity for certain sequences.

Transcription attenuation

Transcription attenuation is a type of prokaryotic regulation that happens only under certain conditions. This process occurs at the beginning of RNA transcription and causes the RNA chain to terminate before gene expression. [5] Transcription attenuation is caused by the incorrect formation of a nascent RNA chain. This nascent RNA chain adopts an alternative secondary structure that does not interact appropriately with the RNA polymerase. [1] In order for gene expression to proceed, regulatory proteins must bind to the RNA chain and remove the attenuation, which is costly for the cell. [1] [6]

In prokaryotes there are two mechanisms of transcription attenuation. These two mechanisms are intrinsic termination and factor-dependent termination.

- In the intrinsic termination mechanism, also known as Rho-independent termination, the RNA chain forms a stable transcript hairpin structure at the 3'end of the genes that cause the RNA polymerase to stop transcribing. [6] The stem-loop is followed by a run of U's (poly U tail) which stalls the polymerase, so the RNA hairpin have enough time to form. Then, the polymerase is dissociated due to the weak binding between the poly U tail, from the transcript RNA, and the poly A tail, from the DNA template, causing the mRNA to be prematurely released. This process inhibits transcription. [7] To clarify, this mechanism is called Rho-independent because it does not require any additional protein factor as the factor-dependent termination does, which is a simpler mechanism for the cell to regulate gene transcription. [7] Some examples of bacteria where this type of regulation predominates are Neisseria, Psychrobacter and Pasteurellaceae, as well as the majority of bacteria in the Firmicutes phylum. [7] [6]

- In factor-dependent termination, which is a protein factor complex containing Rho factor, is bound to a segment from the RNA chain transcript. The Rho complex then starts looking in the 3' direction for a paused RNA polymerase. If the polymerase is found, the process immediately stops, which results in the abortion of RNA transcription. [5] [6] Even though this system is not as common as the one described above, there are some bacteria that uses this type of termination, such as the tna operon in E.coli. [7]

This type of regulation is not efficient in eukaryotes because transcription occurs in the nucleus while translation occurs in the cytoplasm. Therefore, the mechanism is not continued and it cannot execute appropriately as it would if both processes happen on the cytoplasm. [8]

MicroRNA mediated regulation

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) appear to regulate the expression of more than 60% of protein coding genes of the human genome. [9] If an miRNA is abundant it can behave as a "switch", turning some genes on or off. [10] However, altered expression of many miRNAs only leads to a modest 1.5- to 4-fold change in protein expression of their target genes. [10] Individual miRNAs often repress several hundred target genes. [9] [11] Repression usually occurs either through translational silencing of the mRNA or through degradation of the mRNA, via complementary binding, mostly to specific sequences in the 3' untranslated region of the target gene's mRNA. [12] The mechanism of translational silencing or degradation of mRNA is implemented through the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC).

Feedback in the regulation of RNA binding proteins

RNA-Binding Proteins (RBPs) are dynamic assemblages between mRNAs and different proteins that form messenger ribonucleoprotein complexes (mRNPs). [13] These complexes are essential for the regulation of gene expression to ensure that all the steps are performed correctly throughout the whole process. Therefore, they are important control factors for protein levels and cell phenotypes. Moreover, they affect mRNA stability by regulating its conformation due to the environment, stress or extracellular signals. [13] However, their ability to bind and control such a wide variety of RNA targets allows them to form complex regulatory networks (PTRNs).These networks represent a challenge to study each RNA-binding protein individually. [3] Thankfully, due to new methodological advances, the identification of RBPs is slowly expanding, which demonstrates that they are contained in broad families of proteins. RBPs can significantly impact multiple biological processes, and have to be very accurately expressed. [7] Overexpression can change the mRNA target rate, binding to low-affinity RNA sites and causing deleterious results on cellular fitness. Not being able to synthesize at the right level is also problematic because it can lead to cell death. Therefore, RBPs are regulated via auto-regulation, so they are in control of their own actions. Furthermore, they use both negative feedback, to maintain homeostasis, and positive feedback, to create binary genetic changes in the cell. [14]

In metazoans and bacteria, many genes involved in post-post transcriptional regulation are regulated post transcriptionally. [15] [16] [17] For Drosophila RBPs associated with splicing or nonsense mediated decay, analyses of protein-protein and protein-RNA interaction profiles have revealed ubiquitous interactions with RNA and protein products of the same gene. [17] It remains unclear whether these observations are driven by ribosome proximal or ribosome mediated contacts, or if some protein complexes, particularly RNPs, undergo co-translational assembly.

Significance

A prokaryotic example: Salmonella enterica (a pathogenic g-proteobacterium) can express two alternative porins depending on the external environment (gut or murky water), this system involves EnvZ (osomotic sensor) which activates OmpR (transcription factor) which can bind to a high affinity promoter even at low concentrations and the low affinity promoter only at high concentrations (by definition): when the concentration of this transcription factor is high it activates OmpC and micF and inhibits OmpF, OmpF is further inhibited post-transcriptionally by micF RNA which binds to the OmpF transcript Salmonella EnvZ switch.svg

This area of study has recently gained more importance due to the increasing evidence that post-transcriptional regulation plays a larger role than previously expected. Even though protein with DNA binding domains are more abundant than protein with RNA binding domains, a recent study by Cheadle et al. (2005) showed that during T-cell activation 55% of significant changes at the steady-state level had no corresponding changes at the transcriptional level, meaning they were a result of stability regulation alone. [19]

Furthermore, RNA found in the nucleus is more complex than that found in the cytoplasm: more than 95% (bases) of the RNA synthesized by RNA polymerase II never reaches the cytoplasm. The main reason for this is due to the removal of introns which account for 80% of the total bases. [20] Some studies have shown that even after processing the levels of mRNA between the cytoplasm and the nucleus differ greatly. [21]

Developmental biology is a good source of models of regulation, but due to the technical difficulties it was easier to determine the transcription factor cascades than regulation at the RNA level. In fact several key genes such as nanos are known to bind RNA but often their targets are unknown. [22] Although RNA binding proteins may regulate post transcriptionally large amount of the transcriptome, the targeting of a single gene is of interest to the scientific community for medical reasons, this is RNA interference and microRNAs which are both examples of posttranscriptional regulation, which regulate the destruction of RNA and change the chromatin structure. To study post-transcriptional regulation several techniques are used, such as RIP-Chip (RNA immunoprecipitation on chip). [23]

microRNA role in cancer

Deficiency of expression of a DNA repair gene occurs in many cancers (see DNA repair defect and cancer risk and microRNA and DNA repair). Altered microRNA (miRNA) expression that either decreases accurate DNA repair or increases inaccurate microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ) DNA repair is often observed in cancers. Deficiency of accurate DNA repair may be a major source of the high frequency of mutations in cancer (see mutation frequencies in cancers). Repression of DNA repair genes in cancers by changes in the levels of microRNAs may be a more frequent cause of repression than mutation or epigenetic methylation of DNA repair genes.

For instance, BRCA1 is employed in the accurate homologous recombinational repair (HR) pathway. Deficiency of BRCA1 can cause breast cancer. [24] Down-regulation of BRCA1 due to mutation occurs in about 3% of breast cancers. [25] Down-regulation of BRCA1 due to methylation of its promoter occurs in about 14% of breast cancers. [26] However, increased expression of miR-182 down-regulates BRCA1 mRNA and protein expression, [27] and increased miR-182 is found in 80% of breast cancers. [28]

In another example, a mutated constitutively (persistently) expressed version of the oncogene c-Myc is found in many cancers. Among many functions, c-Myc negatively regulates microRNAs miR-150 and miR-22. These microRNAs normally repress expression of two genes essential for MMEJ, Lig3 and Parp1, thereby inhibiting this inaccurate, mutagenic DNA repair pathway. Muvarak et al. [29] showed, in leukemias, that constitutive expression of c-Myc, leading to down-regulation of miR-150 and miR-22, allowed increased expression of Lig3 and Parp1. This generates genomic instability through increased inaccurate MMEJ DNA repair, and likely contributes to progression to leukemia.

To show the frequent ability of microRNAs to alter DNA repair expression, Hatano et al. [30] performed a large screening study, in which 810 microRNAs were transfected into cells that were then subjected to ionizing radiation (IR). For 324 of these microRNAs, DNA repair was reduced (cells were killed more efficiently by IR) after transfection. For a further 75 microRNAs, DNA repair was increased, with less cell death after IR. This indicates that alterations in microRNAs may often down-regulate DNA repair, a likely important early step in progression to cancer.

In genetics, a promoter is a sequence of DNA to which proteins bind to initiate transcription of a single RNA transcript from the DNA downstream of the promoter. The RNA transcript may encode a protein (mRNA), or can have a function in and of itself, such as tRNA or rRNA. Promoters are located near the transcription start sites of genes, upstream on the DNA . Promoters can be about 100–1000 base pairs long, the sequence of which is highly dependent on the gene and product of transcription, type or class of RNA polymerase recruited to the site, and species of organism.

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product that enables it to produce end products, proteins or non-coding RNA, and ultimately affect a phenotype. These products are often proteins, but in non-protein-coding genes such as transfer RNA (tRNA) and small nuclear RNA (snRNA), the product is a functional non-coding RNA.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Transcription (biology)</span> Process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA. The segments of DNA transcribed into RNA molecules that can encode proteins produce messenger RNA (mRNA). Other segments of DNA are transcribed into RNA molecules called non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs).

A regulatory sequence is a segment of a nucleic acid molecule which is capable of increasing or decreasing the expression of specific genes within an organism. Regulation of gene expression is an essential feature of all living organisms and viruses.

In molecular biology and genetics, transcriptional regulation is the means by which a cell regulates the conversion of DNA to RNA (transcription), thereby orchestrating gene activity. A single gene can be regulated in a range of ways, from altering the number of copies of RNA that are transcribed, to the temporal control of when the gene is transcribed. This control allows the cell or organism to respond to a variety of intra- and extracellular signals and thus mount a response. Some examples of this include producing the mRNA that encode enzymes to adapt to a change in a food source, producing the gene products involved in cell cycle specific activities, and producing the gene products responsible for cellular differentiation in multicellular eukaryotes, as studied in evolutionary developmental biology.

Regulation of gene expression, or gene regulation, includes a wide range of mechanisms that are used by cells to increase or decrease the production of specific gene products. Sophisticated programs of gene expression are widely observed in biology, for example to trigger developmental pathways, respond to environmental stimuli, or adapt to new food sources. Virtually any step of gene expression can be modulated, from transcriptional initiation, to RNA processing, and to the post-translational modification of a protein. Often, one gene regulator controls another, and so on, in a gene regulatory network.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">DNA repair</span> Cellular mechanism

DNA repair is a collection of processes by which a cell identifies and corrects damage to the DNA molecules that encodes its genome. In human cells, both normal metabolic activities and environmental factors such as radiation can cause DNA damage, resulting in tens of thousands of individual molecular lesions per cell per day. Many of these lesions cause structural damage to the DNA molecule and can alter or eliminate the cell's ability to transcribe the gene that the affected DNA encodes. Other lesions induce potentially harmful mutations in the cell's genome, which affect the survival of its daughter cells after it undergoes mitosis. As a consequence, the DNA repair process is constantly active as it responds to damage in the DNA structure. When normal repair processes fail, and when cellular apoptosis does not occur, irreparable DNA damage may occur. This can eventually lead to malignant tumors, or cancer as per the two-hit hypothesis.

Malignant transformation is the process by which cells acquire the properties of cancer. This may occur as a primary process in normal tissue, or secondarily as malignant degeneration of a previously existing benign tumor.

RNA-binding proteins are proteins that bind to the double or single stranded RNA in cells and participate in forming ribonucleoprotein complexes. RBPs contain various structural motifs, such as RNA recognition motif (RRM), dsRNA binding domain, zinc finger and others. They are cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins. However, since most mature RNA is exported from the nucleus relatively quickly, most RBPs in the nucleus exist as complexes of protein and pre-mRNA called heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein particles (hnRNPs). RBPs have crucial roles in various cellular processes such as: cellular function, transport and localization. They especially play a major role in post-transcriptional control of RNAs, such as: splicing, polyadenylation, mRNA stabilization, mRNA localization and translation. Eukaryotic cells express diverse RBPs with unique RNA-binding activity and protein–protein interaction. According to the Eukaryotic RBP Database (EuRBPDB), there are 2961 genes encoding RBPs in humans. During evolution, the diversity of RBPs greatly increased with the increase in the number of introns. Diversity enabled eukaryotic cells to utilize RNA exons in various arrangements, giving rise to a unique RNP (ribonucleoprotein) for each RNA. Although RBPs have a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation in gene expression, relatively few RBPs have been studied systematically.It has now become clear that RNA–RBP interactions play important roles in many biological processes among organisms.

Eukaryotic transcription is the elaborate process that eukaryotic cells use to copy genetic information stored in DNA into units of transportable complementary RNA replica. Gene transcription occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Unlike prokaryotic RNA polymerase that initiates the transcription of all different types of RNA, RNA polymerase in eukaryotes comes in three variations, each translating a different type of gene. A eukaryotic cell has a nucleus that separates the processes of transcription and translation. Eukaryotic transcription occurs within the nucleus where DNA is packaged into nucleosomes and higher order chromatin structures. The complexity of the eukaryotic genome necessitates a great variety and complexity of gene expression control.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cancer epigenetics</span> Field of study in cancer research

Cancer epigenetics is the study of epigenetic modifications to the DNA of cancer cells that do not involve a change in the nucleotide sequence, but instead involve a change in the way the genetic code is expressed. Epigenetic mechanisms are necessary to maintain normal sequences of tissue specific gene expression and are crucial for normal development. They may be just as important, if not even more important, than genetic mutations in a cell's transformation to cancer. The disturbance of epigenetic processes in cancers, can lead to a loss of expression of genes that occurs about 10 times more frequently by transcription silencing than by mutations. As Vogelstein et al. points out, in a colorectal cancer there are usually about 3 to 6 driver mutations and 33 to 66 hitchhiker or passenger mutations. However, in colon tumors compared to adjacent normal-appearing colonic mucosa, there are about 600 to 800 heavily methylated CpG islands in the promoters of genes in the tumors while these CpG islands are not methylated in the adjacent mucosa. Manipulation of epigenetic alterations holds great promise for cancer prevention, detection, and therapy. In different types of cancer, a variety of epigenetic mechanisms can be perturbed, such as the silencing of tumor suppressor genes and activation of oncogenes by altered CpG island methylation patterns, histone modifications, and dysregulation of DNA binding proteins. There are several medications which have epigenetic impact, that are now used in a number of these diseases.
