My lab studies the many roles that RNA binding proteins have in affecting RNA expression\, splicing\, transport and translation. Through our studies on RNA processing\, we have introduced therapeutic strategies to treat neurodegenerative and muscular diseases\, built cellular models of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases and developed experimental and computational tools that enable the community to probe RNA binding protein-RNA interactions at scale. I will discuss (1) our established and new technologies to identify RNA targets of human RBPs at scale\, (2) systematic assays to assign molecular roles to RBPs and (2) functional screens to identify RBPs implicated in cancer / RNA granule formation.

Chase developed a chemical probing strategy and next-gen sequencing technology\, called RNP-MaP\, that maps the location of and cooperation between multi-protein networks on RNAs in live cells. Going forward\, Chase is interested in understanding how alterations in RNA-binding protein profiles\, a cell’s “RBPome”\, confer deleterious activities onto noncoding RNAs in human disease\, especially in cancer. To further empower this work and his future research program\, Chase is now generating and integrating protein mass spectrometry data into his RBPome projects.

Macrocyclic peptides are accessible by not only chemical synthesis but also ribosomal synthesis. Particularly\, recent inventions of the genetic code reprogramming integrated with an in vitro display format\, referred to as RaPID (Random non-standard Peptides Integrated Discovery) system\, have enabled us to screen mass libraries (>1 trillion members) of non-standard peptides containing multiple non-proteinogenic amino acids\, giving unique properties of peptides distinct from conventional peptides\, e.g. greater proteolytic stability\, higher affinity (low nM to sub nM dissociation constants similar to antibodies)\, and superior pharmacokinetics. The field is rapidly growing evidenced by increasing interests from industrial sectors\, including small start-ups as well as mega-pharmas\, toward drug development efforts on macrocyclic peptides\, which has led to several de novo discovered peptides entering clinical trials. This lecture discusses the aforementioned screening technology involving the method of “genetic code reprogramming” powered by flexizymes\, and several showcases of therapeutic potentials of macrocyclic peptides \nJoin us for a Journal club to prepare for Dr Suga’s seminar\nSeptember 24 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm\nZOOM LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/93910966695\nPublication to review:“Ribosomal Formation of Thioamide Bonds in Polypeptide Synthesis” Rumit Maini\, Hiroyuki Kimura\, Ryo Takatsuji\, Takayuki Katoh\, Yuki Goto\, and Hiroaki Suga https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/jacs.9b11097 \nRESEARCH INTERESTS: In the Suga lab\, our aim is to utilize organic chemistry techniques in combination with biology to tackle yet unresolved questions.

Krasilnikov\, PhD\, Penn State University DESCRIPTION:“Structures of eukaryotic RNases MRP/P RNPs reveal RNA-driven protein remodeling”\nAndrey Krasilnikov\, Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology\, Center for RNA Biology\, Pennsylvania State University\n \nKeywords: Ribozymes\, RNase P\, RNase MRP\, ribonucleoprotein complexes\, RNA-driven protein remodelling \nZOOM \nREGISTRATION REQUIRED: \nhttps://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_obckKUCLT4mXI7kPskzc-Q \n  \n \nAbstract: Ribonuclease (RNase) P is a ribozyme-based catalytic ribonucleoprotein complex involved primarily in the maturation of tRNA in all three domains of life. In the course of evolution\, the size and complexity of RNase P grew as the catalytic RNA moiety recruited additional protein components. In eukaryotes\, the RNase P lineage has split\, giving rise to a related RNP enzyme called RNase MRP\, which shares multiple structural features (including most of the protein components) with the eukaryotic RNase P\, but has a distinct and non-overlapping specificity. \nWe report the recently solved cryo-EM structure of the 450 kDa yeast RNase MRP holoenzyme and compare it with the structure of its progenitor RNP\, RNase P. We show that\, surprisingly\, several of the proteins shared by RNase MRP and RNase P undergo RNA-driven structural remodeling\, allowing the same proteins to function in distinct structural contexts. This remodeling\, combined with altered peripheral RNA elements\, results in the functional diversification of the two closely related RNPs\, in spite of the structural conservation of the nearly identical catalytic cores\, demonstrating structural underpinnings of the acquisition of new functions by catalytic RNPs.
