Impact of the RNA allosteric effect triggered by single nucleotide polymorphisms on the splicing process
HUMAN MOLECULAR GENETICS(2023)
摘要
The susceptibility single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) obtained by genome-wide association studies leave some thorny questions, such as prioritization, false positives and unknown pathogenesis. Previous studies suggested that genetic variation may perturb the RNA secondary structure, influence protein recruitment and binding and ultimately affect splicing processes. Therefore, exploring the perturbation of SNPs to structure-function correlations may provide an effective bridge toward understanding the genetic contribution to diseases. Here, aiming to decipher the regulatory mechanism of myopia susceptibility variants, we systematically evaluated the roles of SNP-induced structural changes during splicing. In addition, 7.53% of myopia-related SNPs exhibited significant global structural changes, 19.53% presented noteworthy local structural disturbance and there were wide-ranging structural perturbations in the splice-related motifs. We established a comprehensive evaluation system for structural disturbance in the splicing-related motifs and gave the priority ranking for the SNPs at RNA structural level. These high-priority SNPs were revealed to widely disturb the molecular interaction properties between splicing-related proteins and pre-mRNAs by HDOCK. Moreover, mini-gene assays confirmed that structural perturbation could influence splicing efficiency through structural remodelling. This study deepens our understanding of the potential molecular regulatory mechanisms of susceptible SNPs in myopia and contributes to personalized diagnosis, personalized medicine, disease-risk prediction and functional verification study by guiding the prioritization of the susceptibility SNPs.
