View SamplesTIA1 and TIAL1 encode a family of U-rich-sequence-specific mRNA-binding proteins (mRBPs) ubiquitously expressed and conserved in metazoans. By PAR-CLIP, we determined that both proteins bind target sites with identical specificity in 3' UTRs as well as within introns proximal to 5' and 3' splice sites. Double knockout (DKO) of TIA1 and TIAL1 increased target mRNA abundance proportional to the number of binding sites and impacted the accumulation of aberrantly spliced mRNAs including the dsRNA-binding protein PRKRA, whose expression was completely blocked and subsequently triggered the activation of the dsRNA-activated protein kinase EIF2AK2/PKR and stress granule formation. Ectopic expression of PRKRA cDNA or knockout of EIF2AK2 in DKO cells rescued this phenotype. Perturbation of maturation and/or stability of additional targets also compromised cell cycle progression. Our study reveals the essential role of a single mRBP family contributing to fidelity of mRNA maturation, translation and RNA stress sensing pathways in human cells.

View SamplesIn the semi-dominant mouse model, Nan (neonatal anemia), heterozygotes suffer hemolytic anemia at birth and throughout life due to a missense mutation (E339D) in transcription factor KLF1 (Krüppel-like factor 1; formerly EKLF, erythroid Krüppel-like factor) Here, we focus on erythropoiesis in the adult spleen. We performed RNAseq in flow-sorted spleen erythroid precursors from adult Nan and WT littermates rendered anemic by phlebotomy as a means to identify global transcriptome changes specific to the Nan KLF1 defect, as opposed to those characterizing anemia generally. We show that (1) expression variation in adult Nan spleen is driven primarily by cell maturation, (2) genotype influences on gene expression are most prominent in late stages of erythroid differentiation when Klf1 expression is highest, (3) Nan-KLF1 produces tissue-specific differential gene expression, and (4) suboptimal stress and basal erythropoiesis with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to anemia in adult Nan mice.

View Samples46BR.1G1 cell line is impaired in DNA ligase 1 (LIG1) activity resulting in an increased level of endogenous single (SSBs) and double stranded DNA breaks (DSBs). 46BR.1G1 fibroblastoid cells represent a suitable model system to investigate how cells cope with low levels of chronic DNA damage, a condition frequently encountered in tumors. Transcriptional alterations in 46BR.1G1 cells were determined by RNAseq by comparison with 7A3, a cell line in which the defect was rescued by stable expression of ectopic wild-type Lig1. The identification of genes differentially expressed in 46BR.1G1 cells would contribute to the elucidation of DNA damage response (DDR) mechanisms.
