GSE GEOA phage nucleus-associated RNA-binding protein required for jumbo phage infection
Relations
Summary
Large-genome bacteriophages (jumbo phages) of the Chimalliviriadae family assemble a nucleus-like compartment bounded by a protein shell that protects the replicating phage genome from host-encoded restriction enzymes and CRISPR/Cas nucleases. While the nuclear shell provides broad protection against host nucleases, it necessitates transport of mRNA out of the nucleus-like compartment for translation by host ribosomes, and transport of specific proteins into the nucleus-like compartment to support DNA replication and mRNA transcription. Here we identify a conserved phage nuclear shell-associated protein that we term chimallin C (ChmC), which adopts a nucleic acid-binding fold, binds RNA with high affinity in vitro and binds phage mRNAs in infected cells. ChmC also forms phase-separated condensates with RNA. Targeted knockdown of ChmC using mRNA-targeting Cas13d halts infections at an early stage. Taken together, our data suggest that the conserved ChmC protein acts as a chaperone for phage mRNAs, potentially stabilizing these mRNAs and driving their translocation through the nuclear shell to promote translation and infection progression.
Overall Design
eCLIP-seq (enhanced UV crosslinking and immunoprecipitation, followed by deep sequencing) in PhiPA3-infected P. aeruginosa cells expressing GFP-tagged ChmC.
Analysis (9 steps)
View Data Processing- R1 data was processed using the single ended eCLIP pipeline and available at: http://github.com/yeolab/eclip.
- Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMIs) were extracted from raw sequencing reads with umi_tools extract
- Post-umi-extracted reads were trimmed for adapter sequences and barcode sequences (eCLIP samples) using cutadapt.
- Trimmed reads were mapped against RepBase with STAR to remove reads mapping to repetitive sequences (--outFilterMultimapNmax 30 --alignEndsType EndToEnd --outFilterMultimapScoreRange 1 --outSAMmode Full --outFilterType BySJout --outSAMtype BAM Unsorted --outFilterScoreMin 10 --outReadsUnmapped Fastx --outSAMattributes All)
- Remaining reads were mapped to the appropriate genome build (Pa_P01 + PhiPA3) using STAR aligner (--outFilterMultimapNmax 1 --alignEndsType EndToEnd --outFilterMultimapScoreRange 1 --outSAMmode Full --outFilterType BySJout --outSAMtype BAM Unsorted --outFilterScoreMin 10 --outReadsUnmapped Fastx --outSAMattributes All)
- Uniquely mapped reads were removed of PCR duplicates with umi_tools
- Peak clusters were identified with CLIPper, available at: https://github.com/YeoLab/clipper
- Clusters enriched over corresponding size-matched input (SMInput) were identified using a custom Perl script, available in the main eCLIP repository as: overlap_peakfi_with_bam.pl
