Persistent cytoplasmic aggregates containing RNA binding proteins (RBPs) are central to the pathogenesis of late-onset neurodegenerative disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). These aggregates share components, molecular mechanisms, and cellular protein quality control pathways with stress-induced RNA granules (SGs). Here, we assess the impact of stress on the global mRNA localization landscape of human pluripotent stem cell-derived motor neurons (PSC-MNs) using subcellular fractionation with RNA sequencing and proteomics. Transient stress disrupts subcellular RNA and protein distributions, alters the RNA binding profile of SG- and ALS-relevant RBPs and recapitulates disease-associated molecular changes such as aberrant splicing of STMN2. Although neurotypical PSC-MNs re-establish a normal subcellular localization landscape upon recovery from stress, cells harboring ALS-linked mutations are intransigent and display a delayed-onset increase in neuronal cell death. Our results highlight subcellular molecular distributions as predictive features and underscore the utility of cellular stress as a paradigm to study ALS-relevant mechanisms.
Overlapping genes are prevalent in most genomes, but the extent to which this organization influences regulatory events operating at the post-transcriptional level remains unclear. Studying the cen and ik2 genes of Drosophila melanogaster, which are convergently transcribed as cis-natural antisense transcripts (cis-NATs) with overlapping 3' UTRs, we found that their encoded mRNAs strikingly co-localize to centrosomes. These transcripts physically interact in a 3' UTR-dependent manner, and the targeting of ik2 requires its 3' UTR sequence and the presence of cen mRNA, which serves as the main driver of centrosomal co-localization. The cen transcript undergoes localized translation in proximity to centrosomes, and its localization is perturbed by polysome-disrupting drugs. By interrogating global fractionation-sequencing datasets generated from Drosophila and human cellular models, we find that RNAs expressed as cis-NATs tend to co-localize to specific subcellular fractions. This work suggests that post-transcriptional interactions between RNAs with complementary sequences can dictate their localization fate in the cytoplasm.
