1 Immunologie für Studierende der Biologie & Molekularmedizin Konzepte der Immunologie Erlangen SS 2008 mirna und Immunität Jürgen Wittmann Division of Molecular Immunology Department of Internal Medicine III Nikolaus-Fiebiger-Center University of Erlangen-Nürnberg Universitätsklinik um Erlangen What is RNA (ribonucleic acid)? Ribonucleotides (Ribose, phosphate and base) DNA RNA 1
2 RNAs have many functions mrna (messenger RNA) rrna (ribosomal RNA) trna (transfer RNA) snrna (small nuclear RNA splicing) grna (guide RNA RNA editing) ribozymes Telomerase RNA (telomere maintenance) genomic RNA (viruses) sirna (small interfering RNA RNA silencing) shrna (short hairpin RNA RNA silencing) rasirna (repeat-associated RNA function unknown) pirna (Piwi-interacting RNA control of transposons) mirna (microrna gene regulation) The pathway to RNAi Source: unknown 2
3 micrornas (mirnas) first discovered in 1993 by Victor Ambros in C. elegans: lin-4 RNA regulates LIN-14 protein levels, but not lin-14 mrna levels important for development and differentiation second mirna (let-7) discovered in 2000 Definition: A mirna is a ssrna of ~22 nucleotides in length, which is generated by the RNase-III-type enzymes Drosha and Dicer from an endogenous transcript that contains a local hairpin structure. originate as a primary RNA (pri-mirna) of several hundred base pairs most pri-mirnas contain cap and poly(a) tail and are transcribed by RNA Polymerase II; some mirnas seem to be transcribed by RNA Polymerase III Mechanism of mirnas mirna Pol II/III pri-mirna nucleus cytoplasm 3
4 Pri-miRNA processing 3 5 Drosha DGCR8 5 3 pri-mirna 5 3 processing pre-mirna Mechanism of mirnas mirna Pol II/III Drosha/ DGCR8 pri-mirna pre-mirna nucleus cytoplasm 4
5 Mechanism of mirnas mirna Pol II/III Drosha/ DGCR8 nucleus pri-mirna pre-mirna Exportin 5 cytoplasm NPC Mechanism of mirnas mirna Pol II/III Drosha/ DGCR8 nucleus pri-mirna pre-mirna Exportin 5 cytoplasm NPC Dicer mirna 5
6 RNase-III-type nucleases involved in RNAi humans possess two members of the RNase-III family, Dicer and Drosha Dicer family proteins are ATP-dependent nucleases cleave dsrna leaving 2 bp 3 overhangs Dicer homologs exist in many organisms including C. elegans, Drosophila, yeast and humans HELICASE PAZ RIIIa RIIIb D Dicer (1922 aa) PRO-RICH RS-RICH RIIIa RIIIb D Drosha (1374 aa) RIII D bacterial RNaseIII (226aa) Role of murine Dicer in hematopoiesis Loss of Dicer in S. pombe: defective chromosome segregation, loss of silencing of centromeric repeats Deletion in M. musculus: embryonically lethal E7.5 embryos T cells: Lck-cre (DN T cells): Cd4-cre (DP T cells): FoxP3-cre (Treg cells): B cells: Mb1-cre (Early B cells): Bernstein et al., 2003 Nat. Genet. 35: Thymocytes reduced, Treg cells lost Peripheral T cells decreased, autoimmune disease Uncontrolled autoimmunity Block of Pro-B to Pre-B cell transition 6
7 Mechanism of mirnas mirna Pol II/III Drosha/ DGCR8 nucleus pri-mirna pre-mirna Exportin 5 cytoplasm NPC Dicer mirna leading strand passenger strand RISC Which is the right strand for incorporation into RISC? Problem: Both strands of a mirna could be used, but only one can be incorporated into RISC and thus be biologically active. Solution: Strand selection generally follows the rule that the strand with the less tightly paired 5 end is preferentially loaded into RISC. mmu-mir-155 mmu-mir-143 mmu-mir-142 7
8 RISC effector complex RISC is a large (~500-kDa) RNA-multiprotein complex components of the RNAi machinery specifically recognize the sirna or mirna duplex and incorporate a single strand into RISC contains a member of the Argonaute protein family minimal RISC: Argonaute protein and mirna WT ago1 T argonaute squid RISC mechanism of action RISC contains a member of the Argonaute protein family: S. pombe: 1 Argonaute H. sapiens: 8 Argonautes A. thaliana: 10 Argonautes C. elegans: 27 Argonautes Important domains: Piwi Argonaute Zwille (PAZ) - responsible for binding to the 3 end of the mirnas PIWI - domain with RNase H homology, slicer activity crystal structure of Pyrococcus furiosus Argonaute protein solved Song et al., 2004 Science 305:
9 Role of murine Ago proteins in hematopoiesis M. musculus contains 8 Argonaute genes: MIWI family (4 members) Ago family (4 members) mago1 KO: mice viable and fertile, no obvious hematopoietic defects mago3 KO: mice viable and fertile, no obvious hematopoietic defects mago4 KO: not reported (yet) mago2 KO: mice die before birth! Phenotype of mago2 knock out Ago2 is a key regulator of erythroid development: splenomegaly and anemia Ago2 is a key regulator of B-lymphoid development: pro-b cells OK, affects pre-b cells differentiation and peripheral B cells pro-b (B220 lo CD43 + IgM ) pre-b (B220 lo CD43 IgM ) O Carroll et al., 2007 Genes Dev. 21: Retroviral rescue experiments revealed that the Slicer endonuclease activity is dispensable for hematopoietic development as well as for mirna biogenesis 9
