Summary

MAPS 技术已开发出来,以仔细审查体内特定监管 RNA 的目标。感兴趣的 sRNA 标有 MS2 贴录器,通过 RNA 测序实现其 RNA 合作伙伴的共同纯化及其标识。此修改后的协议特别适合革兰氏阳性细菌。

Abstract

虽然小的调节RNA(SRNA)在生命的细菌领域很普遍,但由于难以确定其mRNA目标,其中许多RNA的功能仍然很差。在这里,我们描述了MS2亲和力纯化与RNA测序(MAPS)技术的修改协议,旨在揭示特定sRNA在体内的所有RNA合作伙伴。从广义上讲,MS2 的贴合器与感兴趣的 sRNA 的 5′ 四肢融合在一起。然后,此构造以体内表示,允许 MS2-sRNA 与其细胞伙伴进行交互。细菌收获后,细胞被机械地解化。粗提取物被加载到以前涂有MS2蛋白的淀粉样色谱柱中,该色谱柱与麦芽糖结合蛋白融合。这能够对 MS2-sRNA 进行特定捕获并交互 RNA。洗净后,通过高通量RNA测序和随后的生物信息分析确定共同纯化RNA。以下协议已在Gram阳性人类病原体 金黄色葡萄球菌 中实施,原则上可转为任何革兰氏阳性细菌。综上所述,MAPS 技术是深入探索特定 sRNA 监管网络的有效方法,可提供其整个目标图的快照。然而,必须记住,MAPS 确定的假定目标仍需要通过补充实验方法进行验证。

Introduction

在大多数细菌基因组中,已经发现了数百种,甚至数千种小型调节RNA(SRNA),但其中绝大多数的功能仍然不寻常。总的来说,sRNA是短的非编码分子,在细菌生理学和适应波动环境1,2,3中起着主要作用。事实上,这些大分子是众多复杂监管网络的中心,影响代谢途径、应激反应,但也影响毒性和抗生素耐药性。从逻辑上讲,它们的合成是由特定的环境刺激(例如营养饥饿、氧化或膜应力)触发的。大多数 sRNA 通过短和非连续基配对在转录后级别调节多个目标 mRNA。他们通常通过与核糖体竞争翻译启动区域4来阻止翻译的启动。sRNA:mRNA复式的形成也常常导致目标mRNA通过招募特定的RNA而主动退化。

sRNA 靶点(即其目标 RNA 的整组)的定性允许识别其干预的代谢通路及其回答的潜在信号。因此,特定 sRNA 的功能通常可以从其目标中推断出。为此,已经开发了几个西里科预测工具,如因塔纳和科普拉纳5,6,7。它们特别依赖于序列互补性、配对能量和潜在交互站点的可访问性,以确定假定 sRNA 合作伙伴。但是,预测算法并不集成影响体内基础配对的所有因素,例如 RNA 陪护8的参与,这些因素有利于次优交互或双方的共同表达。由于其固有的局限性,预测工具的误报率仍然很高。大多数实验性的大规模方法是基于sRNA的共纯化:mRNA夫妇与标记RNA结合蛋白(RBP)6,9相互作用。例如,通过利格化和测序(RIL-seq)方法识别出RNA复式与RNA伴郎(如大肠杆菌10、11中的Hfq和ProQ)共同纯化。一种类似的技术称为紫外线交叉链接,利化和混合测序(CLASH)被应用到大肠杆菌12,13的RNA和Hfq相关sRNA。尽管Hfq和ProQ在多种细菌8、14、15的sRNA介介调节中的作用十分突出,但在像S.Aureus16、17、18这样的几个生物体中基于sRNA的调节似乎与RNA无关。即使像沃特斯和同事13所证明的那样,与RNA关联的RNA复式净化是可行的,但这种情况仍然很棘手,因为RNA会引发它们的快速退化。因此,MS2-亲和力纯化加上RNA测序(MAPS)方法19,20构成了这种生物体的坚实替代品。

与上述方法不同,MAPS 使用特定的 sRNA 作为诱饵来捕获所有相互作用的RNA,因此不依赖于 RBP 的参与。整个过程在 图1中描述。简言之,sRNA 标记为 5′ 与 MS2 RNA 贴机,该贴子由 MS2 涂层蛋白特别识别。这种蛋白质与麦芽糖结合蛋白(MBP)融合,固定在淀粉酶树脂上。因此,MS2-sRNA 及其 RNA 合作伙伴保留在亲和力色谱列中。与麦芽糖分离后,使用高通量RNA测序进行联合纯化RNA识别,然后进行生物信息分析(图2)。MAPS 技术最终绘制了一张内部发生的所有潜在交互的交互映射图。

MAPS技术最初是在非致病性革兰阴性大肠杆21中实施的。值得注意的是,MAPS 帮助识别了一个 tRNA 衍生片段,该片段与 RyhB 和 Rybb sRNA 特别交互,并防止任何 sRNA 转录噪声在非诱导条件下调节 mRNA 目标。此后,MAPS 已成功应用于其他大肠杆菌sRNA,如 DsrA22、RprA23、CyaR23和 GcvB24(表 1)。除了确认以前已知的目标外,MAPS 还扩展了这些众所周知的 sRNA 的目标范围。最近,MAPS已经在沙门氏菌蒂菲穆里姆进行,并透露,SraL sRNA绑定到rho mRNA,编码转录终止因子25。通过这种配对,SraL 保护rho mRNA 免受由 Rho 本身触发的过早转录终止。有趣的是,该技术不限于 sRNA,可以应用于任何类型的蜂窝RNA,例如使用 tRNA 衍生的片段26和 mRNA22的 5’未翻译区域 (表 1)。

MAPS方法也已适应致病性革兰阳性细菌S.金黄色葡萄球菌19。具体来说,裂解协议已被广泛修改,以有效地打破细胞,由于比Gram阴性细菌更厚的细胞壁,并保持RNA完整性。这个经过调整的协议已经解开了RSA27、RsaI28和RSAC29的相互作用。这种方法深入了解了这些 sRNA 在细胞表面特性、葡萄糖吸收和氧化应激反应的调控机制中的关键作用。

2015年在 大肠杆菌 中制定和实施的协议最近被详细描述了30。在这里,我们提供修改后的 MAPS 协议,该协议特别适合研究革兰阳性(较厚的细胞壁)细菌中的 sRNA 监管网络,无论是非致病细菌还是致病菌(安全预防措施)。

Representative Results

具有代表性的结果源于对金黄色葡萄球菌29的RSAC靶点的研究。RsaC 是一种非常规的 1,116 nt 长 sRNA。其 5′ 端包含多个重复区域,而其 3′ 端 (544 nt) 在结构上是独立的,并包含与其 mRNA 目标的所有预测交互站点。当锰 (Mn) 稀缺时,就会诱导这种 sRNA 的表达,这通常在宿主免疫反应的背景下遇到。使用 MAPS 技术,我们识别了几个 mRNA 直接与 RsaC 相互作用,揭示了它在氧化?…

Discussion

革兰氏阳性细菌的修改协议
MAPS的初始协议是为了研究大肠杆菌20、30模型中的sRNA相互作用而开发。在这里,我们描述了一个修改后的协议,它适用于机会性人类病原体金黄色葡萄球菌中依赖sRNA的监管网络的特征,并且肯定可转化为其他Gram阳性细菌,病原学与否。
