Abstract

Targeted RNA-sequencing aims to focus coverage on areas of interest that are inadequately sampled in standard RNA-sequencing experiments. Here we present a novel approach for targeted RNA-sequencing that uses complex pools of reverse transcription primers to enable sequencing enrichment at user-selected locations across the genome. We demonstrate this approach by targeting hundreds to thousands of pre-mRNA splice junctions, revealing high-precision detection of splice isoforms, including rare pre-mRNA splicing intermediates.

KH1 Domain of Poly C Binding Protein 1 (PCBP1) Interacts with Utrophin-A mRNA and Modulates Utrophin-A Expression in Mouse Myoblasts

Utrophin upregulation is an attractive strategy to ameliorate Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Here, we investigated whether the murine poly(C)-binding protein 1 (PCBP1) directly interacts with the utrophin-A mRNA, and how the interaction shapes the fate of utrophin-A in muscle cells. As no experimentally validated structure of the murine PCBP1 is available, AlphaFold2 was utilized to predict the structure of the full-length protein and the KH1-KH2 domain of the protein. The more stable and reliable model of the KH1-KH2 domain of PCBP1 was then docked with the 5'UTR of the utrophin-A mRNA, and the top-ranked docked complex was utilized for MD simulation to identify the most stable hydrogen bond-forming amino acid residues from PCBP1. ITC showed a thermodynamically favorable spontaneous interaction between the full-length PCBP1 and the 5'UTR of utrophin-A mRNA, but the deletion mutant of PCBP1, lacking the predicted contact region, failed to exhibit any interaction. This observation was also confirmed by an RNA-immunoprecipitation assay in C2C12 cells. However, the mutant PCBP1 was unable to alter the expression of the utrophin-A in the C2C12 cells. In cells, PCBP1 overexpression lowered utrophin-A expression, while shRNA knockdown produced reciprocal increases. A 5'UTR-luciferase reporter mirrored this observation. Finally, subcellular fractionation showed that PCBP1 promotes nuclear retention of utrophin-A transcripts and reduces their cytoplasmic availability, with reciprocal shifts upon PCBP1 knockdown. Considering earlier work on PCBP2, our data suggest both paralogs recognize the same 5'UTR element, and the KH1-dependent interaction represses utrophin-A by coupling nuclear retention to reduced protein output. Thus, the PCBP1-5'UTR interaction emerges as a potent target for utrophin de-repression in DMD.

IER3-N-cadherin axis contributes to apoptosis resistance in dermal fibroblasts under profibrotic conditions

Background: Persistent activation and resistance to apoptosis of dermal fibroblasts contribute to pathological skin fibrosis. Immediate early response 3 (IER3) is a stress-responsive protein involved in cell survival, but its role in cutaneous fibrosis remains unclear. We investigated the functional significance of IER3 in dermal fibroblasts and its potential contribution to fibrosis. Methods: IER3 expression was examined in skin samples from patients with systemic sclerosis, keloids, and hypertrophic scars. Primary human dermal fibroblasts were stimulated with transforming growth factor-{beta}1 (TGF-{beta}1). RNA sequencing, siRNA-mediated gene silencing, quantitative PCR, and flow cytometric apoptosis assays were performed to investigate the downstream mechanisms and functional consequences of IER3 expression. Results: IER3 expression was increased in dermal fibroblasts within fibrotic skin lesions and was induced by TGF-{beta}1 independently of SMAD3 and MEK/ERK signaling. Transcriptomic analysis identified CDH2, encoding N-cadherin, as a downstream target of IER3. Moreover, TGF-{beta}1 induced CDH2 expression in a SMAD3 phosphorylation-dependent manner. IER3 knockdown attenuated TGF-{beta}1-induced CDH2 expression, whereas CDH2 knockdown did not affect IER3 expression. Furthermore, CDH2 knockdown enhanced staurosporine-induced apoptosis in TGF-{beta}1-stimulated fibroblasts, accompanied by a shift in apoptosis-related gene expression toward a pro-apoptotic profile. Conclusion: Our findings identify a previously unrecognized IER3-N-cadherin regulatory axis that may promote dermal fibroblast survival by suppressing apoptosis under profibrotic conditions. Targeting this pathway may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for persistent skin fibrosis.

Molecular basis of Cyclin B1-CDK1 recruitment by MAD1

The interaction between Cyclin B1-CDK1 and MAD1 recruits kinase activity to the nuclear pore complex and kinetochore corona to sustain spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) signaling. Here, we characterize a short linear motif (SLiM) within MAD1 that mediates its interaction with Cyclin B1. This SLiM peptide is specific for B-type cyclins and lacks the canonical "RxL" cyclin-binding consensus sequence, suggesting a distinct mode of cyclin recognition. Using a combination of deep mutational scanning, structural analysis by cryogenic electron microscopy, and binding affinity measurements, we define the molecular basis of the Cyclin B1-MAD1 interaction. These approaches reveal that a short MAD1 peptide binds as an -helix to the RxL-binding hydrophobic patch of Cyclin B1. The interaction employs hydrophobic contacts that overlap with those used by canonical RxL motifs, but is distinguished by additional contacts and sequence features that confer preferential recognition by B-type cyclins while excluding other cyclin types. We also show that the MAD1 motif is sufficient to confer B-type cyclin-specific substrate phosphorylation in mitotic cells. Together, these findings reveal a non-canonical, B-type cyclin-specific helical binding mode that ensures selective Cyclin B1-CDK1 recruitment at two critical stages of SAC signaling, and suggest potential strategies for selective therapeutic targeting of this interaction.
