Abstract
The RNA exosome is a ribonuclease complex that mediates both RNA processing and degradation. This complex is evolutionarily conserved, ubiquitously expressed, and required for fundamental cellular functions, including rRNA processing. The RNA exosome plays roles in regulating gene expression and protecting the genome, including modulating the accumulation of RNA-DNA hybrids (R-loops). The function of the RNA exosome is facilitated by cofactors, such as the RNA helicase MTR4, which binds/remodels RNAs. Recently, missense mutations in RNA exosome subunit genes have been linked to neurological diseases. One possibility to explain why missense mutations in genes encoding RNA exosome subunits lead to neurological diseases is that the complex may interact with cell- or tissue-specific cofactors that are impacted by these changes. To begin addressing this question, we performed immunoprecipitation of the RNA exosome subunit, EXOSC3, in a neuronal cell line (N2A), followed by proteomic analyses to identify novel interactors. We identified the putative RNA helicase, DDX1, as an interactor. DDX1 plays roles in double-strand break repair, rRNA processing, and R-loop modulation. To explore the functional connections between EXOSC3 and DDX1, we examined the interaction following double-strand breaks and analyzed changes in R-loops in N2A cells depleted for EXOSC3 or DDX1 by DNA/RNA immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing. We find that EXOSC3 interaction with DDX1 is decreased in the presence of DNA damage and that loss of EXOSC3 or DDX1 alters R-loops. These results suggest EXOSC3 and DDX1 interact during events of cellular homeostasis and potentially suppress unscrupulous expression of genes promoting neuronal projection.

Abstract
Exosomes play an irreplaceable role in physiological and pathological processes, and the study of proteomics (especially protein post-translational modifications, PTMs) in exosomes can reveal the pathogenesis of diseases and screen therapeutic disease targets. The separation and enrichment process is an essential step in mass spectroscopy-based exosomal PTMs studies to reduce sample complexity and ionization-suppression effects. Herein, we designed a novel magnetic zwitterionic material, namely glutathione-functionalized thioether covalent organic frameworks (Fe3O4@Thio-COF@Au@GSH), possessing fast magnetic responsiveness, regular porosity, and a suitable surface area. Thanks to the hydrophilicity and charge-switchable feature of GSH, for the first time, both the capture of exosomes from biological fluids and enrichment of the inherent glycoproteins/phosphoproteins in the exosomes were achieved with the same material. Furthermore, the high enrichment capacity was validated by theoretical calculations. The low detection limits (0.2/0.4 fmol for HRP/β-casein), high selectivity (1 : 1000 for HRP/β-casein : BSA molar ratio), and high exosomal glycoproteomics/phosphoproteomics profiling capability proved the feasibility of the developed method. This work provides a new heuristic strategy to solve the problems of exosomal capture and glycoproteins/phosphoproteins pretreatment in exosomal proteomics.

Abstract
Comparative RNA interactome capture identifies potential regulators of RNA metabolism in fission yeast and reveals RNA exosome–dependent buffering of stress-responsive gene expression networks. The nuclear RNA exosome plays a key role in controlling the levels of multiple protein-coding and non-coding RNAs. Recruitment of the exosome to specific RNA substrates is mediated by RNA-binding co-factors. The transient interaction between co-factors and the exosome as well as the rapid decay of RNA substrates make identification of exosome co-factors challenging. Here, we use comparative poly(A)+ RNA interactome capture in fission yeast expressing three different mutants of the exosome to identify proteins that interact with poly(A)+ RNA in an exosome-dependent manner. Our analyses identify multiple RNA-binding proteins whose association with RNA is altered in exosome mutants, including the zinc-finger protein Mub1. Mub1 is required to maintain the levels of a subset of exosome RNA substrates including mRNAs encoding for stress-responsive proteins. Removal of the zinc-finger domain leads to loss of RNA suppression under non-stressed conditions, altered expression of heat shock genes in response to stress, and reduced growth at elevated temperature. These findings highlight the importance of exosome-dependent mRNA degradation in buffering gene expression networks to mediate cellular adaptation to stress.

Abstract
Aconitase, a highly conserved protein across all domains of life, functions in converting citrate to isocitrate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Cytosolic aconitase is also known to act as an iron regulatory protein in mammals, binding to the RNA hairpin structures known as iron-responsive elements within the untranslated regions of specific RNAs. Aconitase-2 (Aco2) in fission yeast is a fusion protein consisting of an aconitase and a mitochondrial ribosomal protein, bL21, residing not only in mitochondria but also in cytosol and the nucleus. To investigate the role of Aco2 in the nucleus and cytoplasm of fission yeast, we analyzed the transcriptome of aco2ΔN mutant that is deleted of nuclear localization signal (NLS). RNA sequencing revealed that the aco2ΔN mutation caused increase in mRNAs encoding iron uptake transporters, such as Str1, Str3, and Shu1. The half-lives of mRNAs for these genes were found to be significantly longer in the aco2ΔN mutant than the wild-type strain, suggesting the role of Aco2 in mRNA turnover. The three conserved cysteines required for the catalytic activity of aconitase were not necessary for this role. The UV cross-linking RNA immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that Aco2 directly bound to the mRNAs of iron uptake transporters. Aco2-mediated degradation of iron-uptake mRNAs appears to utilize exoribonuclease pathway that involves Rrp6 as evidenced by genetic interactions. These results reveal a novel role of non-mitochondrial aconitase protein in the mRNA turnover in fission yeast to fine-tune iron homeostasis, independent of regulation by transcriptional repressor Fep1.

Abstract
The conserved 3'-5' exoribonuclease EXOSC10/Rrp6 processes and degrades RNA, regulates gene expression and participates in DNA double-strand break repair and control of telomere maintenance via degradation of the telomerase RNA component. EXOSC10/Rrp6 is part of the multimeric nuclear RNA exosome and interacts with numerous proteins. Previous clinical, genetic, biochemical and genomic studies revealed the protein's essential functions in cell division and differentiation, its RNA substrates and its relevance to autoimmune disorders and oncology. However, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms that control the transcription, translation and stability of EXOSC10/Rrp6 during cell growth, development and disease and how these mechanisms evolved from yeast to human. Herein, we provide an overview of the RNA- and protein expression profiles of EXOSC10/Rrp6 during cell division, development and nutritional stress, and we summarize interaction networks and post-translational modifications across species. Additionally, we discuss how known and predicted protein interactions and post-translational modifications influence the stability of EXOSC10/Rrp6. Finally, we explore the idea that different EXOSC10/Rrp6 alleles, which potentially alter cellular protein levels or affect protein function, might influence human development and disease progression. In this review we interpret information from the literature together with genomic data from knowledgebases to inspire future work on the regulation of this essential protein's stability in normal and malignant cells.

Abstract
Mtr4 is a Ski2-like RNA helicase that plays a central role in RNA surveillance and degradation pathways as an activator of the RNA exosome. Multiple crystallographic and cryo-EM studies over the past 10 years have revealed important insight into the Mtr4 structure and interactions with protein and nucleic acid binding partners. These structures place Mtr4 at the center of a dynamic process that recruits RNA substrates and presents them to the exosome. In this review, we summarize the available Mtr4 structures and highlight gaps in our current understanding.

Abstract
RNAs are highly regulated at the post-transcriptional level in neurodegenerative diseases and just a few mutations can significantly affect the fate of neuronal cells. To date, the impact of G-quadruplex (G4) regulation in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease (PD) has not been analysed. In this study, in silico potential G4s located in deregulated genes related to the nervous system were initially identified and were found to be significantly enriched. Several G4 sequences found in the 5ʹ untranslated regions (5ʹUTR) of mRNAs associated with Parkinson’s disease were demonstrated to in fact fold in vitro by biochemical assays. Subcloning of the full-length 5ʹUTRs of these candidates upstream of a luciferase reporter system led to the demonstration that the G4s of both Parkin RBR E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase (PRKN) and Vacuolar Protein Sorting-Associated Protein 35 (VPS35) significantly repressed the translation of both genes in SH-SY5Y cells. Subsequently, a strategy of using label-free RNA affinity purification assays with either of these two G4 sequences as bait isolated the Guanine Nucleotide-Binding Protein-Like 1 (GNL1). The latter was shown to have a higher affinity for the G4 sequences than for their mutated version. This study sheds light on new RNA G-quadruplexes located in genes dysregulated in Parkinson disease and a new G4-binding protein, GNL1.

Abstract
The two PIF1 family helicases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Rrm3, and ScPif1, associate with thousands of sites throughout the genome where they perform overlapping and distinct roles in telomere length maintenance, replication through non-histone proteins and G4 structures, lagging strand replication, replication fork convergence, the repair of DNA double-strand break ends, and transposable element mobility. ScPif1 and its fission yeast homolog Pfh1 also localize to mitochondria where they protect mitochondrial genome integrity. In addition to yeast serving as a model system for the rapid functional evaluation of human Pif1 variants, yeast cells lacking Rrm3 have proven useful for elucidating the cellular response to replication fork pausing at endogenous sites. Here, we review the increasingly important cellular functions of the yeast PIF1 helicases in maintaining genome integrity, and highlight recent advances in our understanding of their roles in facilitating fork progression through replisome barriers, their functional interactions with DNA repair, and replication stress response pathways.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics has become a constitutional part of the multi-omics toolbox in yeast research, advancing fundamental knowledge of molecular processes and guiding decisions in strain and product developmental pipelines. Nevertheless, post-translational protein modifications (PTMs) continue to challenge the field of proteomics. PTMs are not directly encoded in the genome; therefore, they require a sensitive analysis of the proteome itself. In yeast, the relevance of post-translational regulators has already been established, such as for phosphorylation, which can directly affect the reaction rates of metabolic enzymes. Whereas, the selective analysis of single modifications has become a broadly employed technique, the sensitive analysis of a comprehensive set of modifications still remains a challenge. At the same time, a large number of fragmentation spectra in a typical shot-gun proteomics experiment remain unidentified. It has been estimated that a good proportion of those unidentified spectra originates from unexpected modifications or natural peptide variants. In this review, recent advancements in microbial proteomics for unrestricted protein modification discovery are reviewed, and recent research integrating this additional layer of information to elucidate protein interaction and regulation in yeast is briefly discussed.

Abstract
Cells utilize sophisticated RNA processing machines to ensure the quality of RNA. Many RNA processing machines have been further implicated in regulating the DNA damage response signifying a strong link between RNA processing and genome maintenance. One of the most intricate and highly regulated RNA processing pathways is the processing of the precursor ribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA), which is paramount for the production of ribosomes. Removal of the Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 (ITS2), located between the 5.8S and 25S rRNA, is one of the most complex steps of ribosome assembly. Processing of the ITS2 is initiated by the newly discovered endoribonuclease Las1, which cleaves at the C2 site within the ITS2, generating products that are further processed by the polynucleotide kinase Grc3, the 5'→3' exonuclease Rat1, and the 3'→5' RNA exosome complex. In addition to their defined roles in ITS2 processing, these critical cellular machines participate in other stages of ribosome assembly, turnover of numerous cellular RNAs, and genome maintenance. Here we summarize recent work defining the molecular mechanisms of ITS2 processing by these essential RNA processing machines and highlight their emerging roles in transcription termination, heterochromatin function, telomere maintenance, and DNA repair.

Abstract
The use of proximity-dependent biotinylation assays coupled to mass spectrometry (PDB-MS) has changed the field of protein-protein interaction studies. Yet, despite the recurrent and successful use of BioID-based protein-protein interactions screening in mammalian cells, the implementation of PDB-MS in yeast has not been effective. Here we report a simple and rapid approach in yeast to effectively screen for proximal and interacting proteins in their natural cellular environment by using TurboID, a recently described version of the BirA biotin ligase. Using the protein arginine methyltransferase Rmt3 and the RNA exosome subunits, Rrp6 and Dis3, the application of PDB-MS in yeast by using TurboID was able to recover protein-protein interactions previously identified using other biochemical approaches and provided new complementary information for a given protein bait. The development of a rapid and effective PDB assay that can systematically analyze protein-protein interactions in living yeast cells opens the way for large-scale proteomics studies in this powerful model organism.
