In mammals, gene silencing by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) is a well-understood cytoplasmic posttranscriptional gene regulatory mechanism. Here, we show that embryonic stem cells (ESCs) contain high levels of nuclear AGO proteins and that in ESCs nuclear AGO protein activity allows for the onset of differentiation. In the nucleus, AGO proteins interact with core RISC components, including the TNRC6 proteins and the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex. In contrast to cytoplasmic miRNA-mediated gene silencing that mainly operates on cis-acting elements in mRNA 3' untranslated (UTR) sequences, in the nucleus AGO binding in the coding sequence and potentially introns also contributed to post-transcriptional gene silencing. Thus, nuclear localization of AGO proteins in specific cell types leads to a previously unappreciated expansion of the miRNA-regulated transcriptome.

View all literature mentionsSoftware tool to generate a high resolution map of interaction sites between RNA-binding proteins and their targets. The algorithm utilizes the deep sequencing reads generated by the newly developed PAR-CLIP (Photoactivatable-Ribonucleoside-Enhanced Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation) protocol. The use of photoactivatable nucleotides in the PAR-CLIP protocol results in a more efficient crosslinking between the RNA-binding protein and its target relative to other CLIP methods; in addition a nucleotide substitution occurs at the site of crosslinking during Illumina library preparation. PARalyzer utilizes this nucleotide substition in a kernel density estimate classifier to generate the high resolution set of Protein-RNA interaction sites.
