Abstract

Information on RNA localisation is essential for understanding physiological and pathological processes, such as gene expression, cell reprogramming, host–pathogen interactions, and signalling pathways involving RNA transactions at the level of membrane-less or membrane-bounded organelles and extracellular vesicles. In many cases, it is important to assess the topology of RNA localisation, i.e., to distinguish the transcripts encapsulated within an organelle of interest from those merely attached to its surface. This allows establishing which RNAs can, in principle, engage in local molecular interactions and which are prevented from interacting by membranes or other physical barriers. The most widely used techniques interrogating RNA localisation topology are based on the treatment of isolated organelles with RNases with subsequent identification of the surviving transcripts by northern blotting, qRT-PCR, or RNA-seq. However, this approach produces incoherent results and many false positives. Here, we describe Controlled Level of Contamination coupled to deep sequencing (CoLoC-seq), a more refined subcellular transcriptomics approach that overcomes these pitfalls. CoLoC-seq starts by the purification of organelles of interest. They are then either left intact or lysed and subjected to a gradient of RNase concentrations to produce unique RNA degradation dynamics profiles, which can be monitored by northern blotting or RNA-seq. Through straightforward mathematical modelling, CoLoC-seq distinguishes true membrane-enveloped transcripts from degradable and non-degradable contaminants of any abundance. The method has been implemented in the mitochondria of HEK293 cells, where it outperformed alternative subcellular transcriptomics approaches. It is applicable to other membrane-bounded organelles, e.g., plastids, single-membrane organelles of the vesicular system, extracellular vesicles, or viral particles.


Key features

• Tested on human mitochondria; potentially applicable to cell cultures, non-model organisms, extracellular vesicles, enveloped viruses, tissues; does not require genetic manipulations or highly pure organelles.

• In the case of human cells, the required amount of starting material is ~2,500 cm2 of 80% confluent cells (or ~3 × 108 HEK293 cells).

• CoLoC-seq implements a special RNA-seq strategy to selectively capture intact transcripts, which requires RNases generating 5′-hydroxyl and 2′/3′-phosphate termini (e.g., RNase A, RNase I).

• Relies on nonlinear regression software with customisable exponential functions.

Background

Knowing the localisation topology of transcripts with respect to organelle membranes (inside vs. outside) is critical for the understanding of RNA transactions in various subcellular locations. Selective RNA packaging into viral particles, extracellular vesicles, and ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) attracted much attention over the last two decades (Bresnahan and Shenk, 2000; K. Wang et al., 2010; Arroyo et al., 2011; Routh et al., 2012; Jeppesen et al., 2019; Murillo et al., 2019; Lécrivain and Beckmann, 2020; Gruner and McManus, 2021). Even more intriguing are the intricate interactions between the genetic systems of the nucleus, mitochondria, and plastids inside eukaryotic cells (Woodson and Chory, 2008; L. Levin et al., 2014; Quirós et al., 2016). These organelles possess their own genomes and locally produced transcriptomes. However, in many species, select nuclear-encoded RNAs (primarily tRNAs) enter mitochondria to participate in translation, blurring borders between transcriptomes (Schneider, 2011; Sieber et al., 2011; Jeandard et al., 2019). The scope of such RNA relocation pathways remains insufficiently understood. Therefore, robust genome-wide approaches are required to obtain comprehensive and reliable local transcriptomes.

Confident assignment of RNA localisation topology is challenging, and many approaches have been proposed (Jeandard et al., 2019). In fractionation-based techniques, organelles of interest are purified and treated with a non-specific RNase to degrade contaminant transcripts sticking to their surface. The remaining RNAs, detected by northern blotting, RT-PCR, or RNA-seq, are considered as residing inside the organelles. Although this strategy remains most widely used due to its simplicity and applicability to virtually any species, including non-model, genetically intractable organisms, cell cultures, and tissues (Mercer et al., 2011; Geiger and Dalgaard, 2017), its simple experimental setup turned out to be over-optimistic: some short, structured transcripts embedded in stable RNPs resist degradation, leading to prohibitively high false-positive rates. This caveat is mostly resolved by proximity labelling approaches that use organelle-restricted biochemical tagging of RNA molecules in situ to enable their selective enrichment and identification (Kaewsapsak et al., 2017; Fazal et al., 2019; P. Wang et al., 2019; Zhou et al., 2019; Medina-Munoz et al., 2020; Engel et al., 2021). However, these methods are usually biased against shorter, non-polyadenylated, and lowly abundant transcripts, and require genetic introduction of engineered tagging enzymes targeted to the organelle of interest, which limits their application to model species with tractable genomes and well-characterised protein localisation pathways.

Here, we describe Controlled Level of Contamination coupled to deep sequencing (CoLoC-seq), which marries the accessibility and generality of fractionation-based approaches with the selectivity and robustness of proximity labelling techniques (Jeandard et al., 2023). In a standard CoLoC-seq pipeline (Figure 1, the blue branch), a preparation of intact organelles of interest is split into a suite of samples subjected to a gradient of RNase concentrations. This creates transcript-specific digestion kinetics, amenable to straightforward mathematical modelling, which tells whether a certain RNA fully partakes in the reaction (as expected for contaminants) or if there is a pool of unavailable molecules protected from the RNase. In a parallel Mock CoLoC-seq experiment (Figure 1, the orange branch), the same organelles are first mildly lysed with a detergent to solubilise membranes and then split in a series of identical samples for RNase treatment. Therefore, by measuring the same digestion kinetics in the mildly lysed organelles, one can determine whether the RNA protection is conferred by the organellar membranes or by unrelated factors, such as proteins or intricate structures (such unreactive RNAs are likely false positives).

Successfully tested on human mitochondria, CoLoC-seq outperformed other fractionation-based and proximity labelling approaches, especially in assigning the localisation topology of shorter non-coding RNAs. It can be applied to any RNase-impermeable entity, including eukaryotic organelles, endosymbionts, enveloped and some non-enveloped viruses, and extracellular vesicles.



Figure 1. Overview of the protocol and its main steps. The part in grey covers the isolation of crude mitochondria, blue and orange correspond to the CoLoC and Mock CoLoC procedures, respectively, and green is data acquisition and analysis. The stop signs show the steps where the protocol can be safely interrupted without compromising the outcome of the experiment.

Materials and reagents

Biological materials

The CoLoC-seq was performed on mitochondria isolated from the human Flp-In T-REx 293 cells (Thermo Fisher Scientific, catalog number: R78007). One complete set of CoLoC-seq and Mock CoLoC-seq samples requires approximately 2,500 cm2 of nearly confluent cells (equivalent to ~3 × 108 HEK293 cells) devoid of mycoplasma contamination. For application of CoLoC-seq to other systems and cellular compartments, the optimal amount of starting material should be determined empirically.
