AbstractAnnotation of polyadenylation sites from short-read RNA sequencing alone is a challenging computational task. Other algorithms rooted in DNA sequence predict potential polyadenylation sites; however, in vivo expression of a particular site varies based on a myriad of conditions. Here, we introduce aptardi (alternative polyadenylation transcriptome analysis from RNA-Seq data and DNA sequence information), which leverages both DNA sequence and RNA sequencing in a machine learning paradigm to predict expressed polyadenylation sites. Specifically, as input aptardi takes DNA nucleotide sequence, genome-aligned RNA-Seq data, and an initial transcriptome. The program evaluates these initial transcripts to identify expressed polyadenylation sites in the biological sample and refines transcript 3′-ends accordingly. The average precision of the aptardi model is twice that of a standard transcriptome assembler. In particular, the recall of the aptardi model (the proportion of true polyadenylation sites detected by the algorithm) is improved by over three-fold. Also, the model—trained using the Human Brain Reference RNA commercial standard—performs well when applied to RNA-sequencing samples from different tissues and different mammalian species. Finally, aptardi’s input is simple to compile and its output is easily amenable to downstream analyses such as quantitation and differential expression.

Specific Regulation

Different 3' coding exons in the rat calcitonin gene are used to generate distinct mRNAs encoding either the hormone calcitonin in thyroidal C-cells or a new neuropeptide referred to as calcitonin gene-related peptide in neuronal tissue, indicating the RNA processing regulation is one strategy used in tissue-specific regulation of gene expression in the brain. Although the two mRNAs use the same transcriptional initiation site and have identical 5' terminal sequences, their 3' termini are distinct. The polyadenylation sites for calcitonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide mRNAs are located at the end of the exons 4 and 6, respectively. Termination of transcription after the calcitonin exon does not dictate the production of calcitonin mRNA, because transcription proceeds through both calcitonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide exons irrespective of which mRNA is ultimately produced. In isolated nuclei, both polyadenylation sites appear to be utilized; however, the proximal (calcitonin) site is preferentially used in nuclei from tissues producing calcitonin mRNA. These data suggest that the mechanism dictating production of each mRNA involves the selective use of alternative polyadenylation sites.

ABSTRACT Gene duplication is considered an important evolutionary mechanism. Unlike many characterized species, the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe contains two paralogous genes, tup11 + and tup12 + , that encode transcriptional corepressors similar to the well-characterized budding yeast Tup1 protein. Previous reports have suggested that Tup11 and Tup12 proteins play redundant roles. Consistently, we show that the two Tup proteins can interact together when expressed at normal levels and that each can independently interact with the Ssn6 protein, as seen for Tup1 in budding yeast. However, tup11 − and tup12 − mutants have different phenotypes on media containing KCl and CaCl2. Consistent with the functional difference between tup11 − and tup12 − mutants, we identified a number of genes in genome-wide gene expression experiments that are differentially affected by mutations in the tup11 + and tup12 + genes. Many of these genes are differentially derepressed in tup11 − mutants and are over-represented in genes that have previously been shown to respond to a range of different stress conditions. Genes specifically derepressed in tup12 − mutants require the Ssn6 protein for their repression. As for Tup12, Ssn6 is also required for efficient adaptation to KCl- and CaCl2-mediated stress. We conclude that Tup11 and Tup12 are at least partly functionally diverged and suggest that the Tup12 and Ssn6 proteins have adopted a specific role in regulation of the stress response.

We demonstrate that in Drosophila melanogaster the histone H3.3 replacement variant is encoded by two genes, H3.3A and H3.3B. We have isolated cDNA clones for H3.3A and cDNA and genomic clones for H3.3B. The genes encode exactly the same protein but are widely divergent in their untranslated regions (UTR). Both genes are expressed in embryos and adults; they are expressed in the gonads as well as in somatic tissues of the flies. However, only one of them, H3.3A, shows strong testes expression. The 3′ UTR of the H3.3A gene is relatively short (~250 nucleotides (nt)). H3.3B transcripts can be processed at several polyadenylation sites, the longest with a 3′ UTR of more than 1500 nt. The 3′ processing sites, preferentially used in the gonads and somatic tissues, are different. We have also isolated the Drosophila hydei homologues of the two H3.3 genes. They are quite similar to the D. melanogaster genes in their expression patterns. However, in contrast to their vertebrate counterparts, which are highly conserved in their noncoding regions, the Drosophila genes display only limited sequence similarity in these regions.Key words: H3.3 histone variant, Drosophila, sequence comparison, alternative polyadenylation, testis expression.
