Abstrakt: | The essential Drosophila RNA-binding protein Brain Tumor (Brat) represses specific genes to control embryogenesis and differentiation of stem cells. In the brain, Brat functions as a tumor suppressor that diminishes neural stem cell proliferation while promoting differentiation. Though important Brat-regulated target mRNAs have been identified in these contexts, the full impact of Brat on gene expression remains to be discovered. Here, we identify the network of Brat-regulated mRNAs by performing RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) following depletion of Brat from cultured cells. We identify 158 mRNAs, with high confidence, that are repressed by Brat. De novo motif analysis identified a functionally enriched RNA motif in the 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of Brat-repressed mRNAs that matches the biochemically defined Brat binding site. Integrative data analysis revealed a high-confidence list of Brat-repressed and Brat-bound mRNAs containing 3'UTR Brat binding motifs. Our RNA-seq and reporter assays show that multiple 3'UTR motifs promote the strength of Brat repression, whereas motifs in the 5'UTR are not functional. Strikingly, we find that Brat regulates expression of glycolytic enzymes and the vacuolar ATPase complex, providing new insight into its role as a tumor suppressor and the coordination of metabolism and intracellular pH.
