M6A methylation inhibits recruitment of the Dand5 3’UTR to the left-right determinant Bicc1

Daniel Constam, Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé, Simon Fortier

In vertebrates, left-right (LR) asymmetry is specified by asymmetric decay of Dand5 messenger RNA (mRNA) mediated by the recruitment of the BicC family RNA binding protein 1 (Bicc1). Besides regulating organ laterality, Bicc1 is required to prevent cystic ...

Stepwise release of Activin-A from its inhibitory prodomain is modulated by cysteines and requires furin coexpression to promote melanoma growth

Daniel Constam, Pierpaolo Ginefra, Hatice Altug, Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé, Céline Emmanuelle Schmuziger, Manon Bulliard, Katarina Pinjusic, Saeid Ansaryan

The Activin-A precursor dimer can be cleaved by furin, but how this proteolytic maturation is regulated in vivo and how it facilitates access to signaling receptors is unclear. Here, analysis in a syngeneic melanoma grafting model shows that without furin ...

Bicc1 ribonucleoprotein complexes specifying organ laterality are licensed by ANKS6-induced structural remodeling of associated ANKS3

Daniel Constam, Matteo Dal Peraro, Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé, Simon Fortier, Zhidian Zhang

Organ laterality of vertebrates is specified by accelerated asymmetric decay of Dand5 mRNA mediated by Bicaudal-C1 (Bicc1) on the left side, but whether binding of this or any other mRNA to Bicc1 can be regulated is unknown. Here, we found that a CRISPR-en ...

Antagonistic interactions among structured domains in the multivalent Bicc1-ANKS3-ANKS6 protein network govern phase transitioning of target mRNAs

Daniel Constam, Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé, Céline Emmanuelle Schmuziger, Simon Fortier, Céline Gagnieux

The growing number of diseases linked to aberrant phase transitioning of ribonucleoproteins highlights the need to uncover how the interplay between multivalent protein and RNA interactions is regulated. Cytoplasmic granules of the RNA binding protein Bica ...

Fluid flow-induced left-right asymmetric decay of Dand5 mRNA in the mouse embryo requires a Bicc1-Ccr4 RNA degradation complex

Daniel Constam, Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé

Molecular left-right (L-R) asymmetry is established at the node of the mouse embryo as a result of the sensing of a leftward fluid flow by immotile cilia of perinodal crown cells and the consequent degradation of Dand5 mRNA on the left side. We here examin ...

The box C/D snoRNP assembly factor Bcd1 interacts with the histone chaperone Rtt106 and controls its transcription dependent activity

Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé

Biogenesis of eukaryotic box C/D small nucleolar ribonucleoproteins initiates co-transcriptionally and requires the action of the assembly machinery including the Hsp90/R2TP complex, the Rsa1p:Hit1p heterodimer and the Bcd1 protein. We present genetic inte ...

Role of the RNA-binding protein Bicaudal-C1 and interacting factors in cystic kidney diseases

Daniel Constam, Lucía Carolina Leal Esteban, Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé, Céline Gagnieux

Polycystic kidneys frequently associate with mutations in individual components of cilia, basal bodies or centriolar satellites that perturb complex protein networks. In this review, we focus on the RNA-binding protein Bicaudal-C1 (BICC1) which was found m ...

The yeast C/D box snoRNA U14 adopts a "weak" K-turn like conformation recognized by the Snu13 core protein in solution

Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé

Non-coding RNAs associate with proteins to form ribonucleoproteins (RNPs), such as ribosome, box C/D snoRNPs, H/ACA snoRNPs, ribonuclease P, telomerase and spliceosome to ensure cell viability. The assembly of these RNA-protein complexes relies on the abil ...

Implication of the box C/D snoRNP assembly factor Rsa1p in U3 snoRNP assembly

Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé

The U3 box C/D snoRNA is one key element of 90S pre-ribosome. It contains a 5' domain pairing with pre-rRNA and the U3(B/C) and U3(C'/D) motifs for U3 packaging into a unique small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein particle (snoRNP). The RNA-binding protein Snu1 ...

Structural Features of the Box C/D snoRNP Pre-assembly Process Are Conserved through Species

Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé

Box C/D small nucleolar ribonucleoparticles (snoRNPs) support 2'-O-methylation of several target RNAs. They share a common set of four core proteins (SNU13, NOP58, NOP56, and FBL) that are assembled on different guide small nucleolar RNAs. Assembly of thes ...

Bicc1 Polymerization Regulates the Localization and Silencing of Bound mRNA

Daniel Constam, Séverine Marguerite Urfer, Florian Urs Bernet, Lucía Carolina Leal Esteban, Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé

Loss of the RNA-binding protein Bicaudal-C (Bicc1) provokes renal and pancreatic cysts as well as ectopic Wnt/beta-catenin signaling during visceral left-right patterning. Renal cysts are linked to defective silencing of Bicc1 target mRNAs, including adeny ...
