Shown are mRNA northern blots monitoring reporter mRNA levels over the course of the indicated in vitro translation reactions. (B) Schematic of mRNA cleavage and probing strategy used in RNase H northern blots, which were used to examine tail lengths.

	Figure 2. Increased PABPC promotes translation of endogenous short-tailed mRNAs, thereby diminishing coupling between tail length and TE.(A) The effect of PABPC on coupling between tail length and TE in frog oocytes. Shown is the relationship between TE and median poly(A)-tail length in oocytes injected with either water or mRNAs encoding either eGFP, PABPC1, or ePAB (injecting 16 fmol mRNA per oocyte). Results are shown for mRNAs from genes with ≥100 poly(A) tags. Each poly(A) tag represents a pair of sequencing reads that identify the mRNA and its poly(A) tail length. Rs is the Spearman’s correlation coefficient. (B) A global increase in TE observed upon overexpressing ePAB. TE in ePAB-overexpressing oocytes is compared with TE in eGFP-expressing oocytes. Experiment was as in A, except rRNAs were not depleted, and TE values are normalized to those of mitochondrial mRNAs. Also shown are results from a co-injected short-tailed Nluc reporter and a long-tailed Fluc reporter. (C) Effect of expressing PABPC1 on protein synthesis in oocytes. At the left is a gel showing total protein after injection of either water or the indicated mRNA (injecting 4 fmol mRNA per oocyte), with or without treatment with cycloheximide (CHX), as visualized by Coomassie staining. At the right is the same gel showing protein synthesis, as visualized by incorporation of 35S-methionine and 35S-cysteine. Prominent bands presumably represent PABPC1, eGFP, and a not fully denatured form of eGFP (asterisk) expressed from injected mRNAs. (D) Quantification of the effect of expressing PABPC1 on protein synthesis in oocytes, as measured in (C) and two additional biological replicates. Only regions above the PABPC1 band, and between the PABPC1 band and the top eGFP band, were used for quantification. Values were normalized to that of the mean value from water-injected oocytes (error bars, standard deviation; p values, one-sided t-tests; n.s., not significant). (E) The preferential effect of overexpressing ePAB on the TE of short-tailed mRNAs. TE fold changes observed between ePAB-overexpressing and eGFP-expressing oocytes are plotted as a function of median tail length in eGFP-expressing oocytes. TE and tail-length values were obtained from different batches of oocytes; results are shown for mRNAs from genes with ≥100 poly(A) tags. TE values are normalized to those of mitochondrial mRNAs. (F) Effect of overexpressing ePAB on the distribution of TE values observed in frog oocytes.

(C) Depletion of frog mitochondrial mRNAs by the Illumina Ribo-Zero Gold kit. Tail-length measurements in this figure were obtained using TAIL-seq.
	Figure 3. Limiting PABPC is required for intragenic coupling between poly(A)-tail length and TE.(A) The PAL-TRAP method for measuring intragenic effects of tail length on TE. Ribosomes are sparsely tagged (red stars) so that highly translated mRNAs are more likely to contain tagged ribosomes and thus be enriched in the immunoprecipitation (IP) eluate. Tail lengths of both input and eluate mRNAs were measured and compared for mRNAs of each gene. The depicted enrichment of long-tailed isoforms in the eluate indicates that poly(A)-tail length and TE are coupled, whereas no enrichment would indicate otherwise. (B) The experimental scheme of PAL-TRAP in frog oocytes. See Figure 3—figure supplement 1B–C for results from pulldowns using the eGFP-HA control. (C) Effect of overexpressing ePAB on coupling between tail length and TE, as detected after pooling PAL-TRAP results for mRNAs from different genes. Plotted are cumulative distributions of poly(A)-tail lengths in the PAL-TRAP input and eluate obtained after expressing either eGFP (left) or ePAB (right) in oocytes (injecting 4 fmol mRNA per oocyte). Median values are indicated (dashed lines) and listed in parentheses. (D) The effect of overexpressing ePAB on intragenic coupling between tail length and TE. Plotted for each mRNA isoform is the median poly(A)-tail length of mRNAs in the PAL-TRAP eluate compared to that in the input. Shown are results for mRNAs from oocytes either expressing eGFP or overexpressing ePAB (left and right, respectively). Each point represents an mRNA isoform with a unique 3′ end represented by ≥100 poly(A) tags in both input and eluate. Also indicated are results for (1) an Rluc reporter mRNA possessing a variable-length tail (reporter), which was co-injected with mRNAs expressing either eGFP or ePAB, (2) an mRNA with a variable-length tail, which was spiked into the lysate immediately before IP (spike-in), and (3) synthetic RNAs with defined tail lengths added to samples prior to library preparation (tail standards). Points for eight standards with longer tails fell outside the plot areas, as did a point representing the mRNA 3′-end from one gene (uqcrb.S) in the ePAB sample. (E) Summary of differences in median tail lengths observed between the eluate and the input of mRNA isoforms shown in (D). Box and whiskers indicate the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. (F) Effect of overexpressing ePAB on intragenic tail-length distributions in frog oocytes. Shown are tail-length distributions of the reporter Rluc (left), an endogenous oocyte mRNA btg4.S (middle), and the spike-in mRNA Nluc (right) in eGFP-expressing (top) or ePAB-overexpressing (bottom) oocytes. Median tail-length values are indicated (vertical lines) and listed in parentheses. Tail-length measurements in this figure were obtained using PAL-seq v3.Figure 3—figure supplement 1. Supporting data for PAL-TRAP analyses in frog oocytes.(A) Incorporation of HA-tagged RPL3 into ribosomes. At the top is a sucrose-gradient polysome profile from frog oocytes injected with mRNAs encoding HA-tagged RPL3 and FLAG-tagged ePAB. At the bottom is a western blot of fractions collected from the polysome profile and probed for the indicated proteins. (B) Western-blot analysis of proteins in the input and eluate of PAL-TRAP experiments. Labels at the top show mRNAs that were injected into oocytes to overexpress the indicated proteins. (C) Fold enrichment in the PAL-TRAP analysis (eluate over input) as a function of expression (tags in the input) for each mRNA isoform with a unique 3′ end. Poly(A) tags were normalized to the spike-in tail-length standards. Poly(A) tags for bicistronic mitochondrial mRNAs (mt-atp6 and mt-atp8, and mt-nd4 and mt-nd4l) were merged. Also shown are results from a co-injected reporter mRNA, a spike-in mRNA, and tail-length standards, as in Figure 3D. Cytoplasmic mRNAs were enriched by HA-IP in RPL3-HA-expressing oocytes, as shown by relative depletion of mitochondrial mRNAs, which are not translated by cytoplasmic ribosomes. In contrast, almost all cytoplasmic mRNAs were depleted by HA-IP in eGFP-HA-expressing oocytes. (D) The similarity of PAL-TRAP results for input and flowthrough when pooling data for all mRNA isoforms. Otherwise, this panel is as in Figure 3C. (E) The similarity of PAL-TRAP results for input and flowthrough when examining data for individual mRNA isoforms. Otherwise, this panel is as in Figure 3D. (F) Summary of differences in median tail lengths observed between the flowthrough and the input for mRNA isoforms represented in (E). Otherwise this panel is as in Figure 3E. Tail-length measurements in this figure were obtained using PAL-seq v3.
	Figure 4. PABPC depletion causes premature decay of shorter-tail cytoplasmic mRNAs in HeLa cells.(A) The effect of PABPC knockdown on poly(A)-tail length. The plots compare median poly(A)-tail lengths in either PABPC1-knockdown cells (left) or PABPC1 and PABPC4 double-knockdown cells (right) to those in control cells. Results are shown for cytoplasmic mRNAs with ≥100 poly(A) tags (gray) and for mitochondrial mRNAs (red), merging data for MT-ATP6 and MT-ATP8 and for MT-ND4 and MT-ND4L, which are bicistronic mitochondrial mRNAs. (B) The effect of PABPC knockdown on the abundance of mRNAs with different tail lengths. Shown are tail-length distributions of all cytoplasmic (left) and mitochondrial (right) mRNA poly(A) tags in control, PABPC1-knockdown, and double-knockdown cells. For each distribution, the abundance of tags was normalized to that of the spike-in tail-length standards. Due to depletion of tail-length calling at position 50, which was associated with a change in laser intensity at the next sequencing cycle, the values at this tail length were replaced with the average of values at tail lengths 49 and 51 nt. (C) The effect of PABPC knockdown on the abundance of mRNAs with different tail lengths, comparing tail-lengths measured by sequencing (left) with those observed on RNase H northern blots (right). Results are shown for a cytoplasmic mRNA GAPDH (top) and a mitochondrial mRNA MT-CYB (bottom). Relative tag density was calculated by log-transforming linear tag density using normalized poly(A) tag counts. Median tail-length values are indicated (horizontal lines) and listed in parentheses. For RNase H northern blots, a DNA oligonucleotide complimentary to the 3′-UTR was used to direct cleavage of the target mRNA by RNase H, leaving a 35-nt fragment of the 3′-UTR appended to the poly(A) tail, which was resolved on a denaturing gel and detected by a radiolabeled probe. Tail lengths indicated along the left side of each gel are inferred from lengths of size markers. (D) The effect of PABPC knockdown on the abundance of mRNAs with different tail lengths, extending the intragenic analysis to tail-length distributions from thousands of genes. Heat maps compare poly(A)-tag levels in PABPC1-knockdown (left) or double-knockdown (right) cells to those in control cells, after normalizing to spike-in tail-length standards, as measured using tail-length sequencing. Each row represents mRNAs from a different gene, and rows are sorted based on fold change of mRNA abundance measured using RNA-seq. Only genes with ≥100 poly(A) tags in each of two samples being compared were included in the analyses (n = 5504). Columns represent values from 5-nt tail-length bins ranging from 0 to 244 nt and a 6-nt bin ranging from 245 to 250 nt. Tile color indicates the fold change of normalized tag counts (key). (E) The effect of PABPC knockdown on the abundance of mRNAs with different tail lengths, reanalyzing data from (D) to show distributions of poly(A)-tag changes observed at different tail-lengths. Each box-whisker shows the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile of fold changes in normalized poly(A)-tag counts observed for each tail-length bin of (D). The color of each box indicates the median value (key). Tail-length measurements in this figure were obtained using TAIL-seq.Figure 4—figure supplement 1. PABPC depletion is not sufficient to establish strong coupling between poly(A)-tail length and TE in HeLa cells.(A) Western blot showing siRNA-mediated depletion of PABPC1 and PABPC4 in HeLa cells. (B) The effect of depleting PABPC on coupling between tail length and TE in HeLa cells. Shown is the relationship between TE and median poly(A)-tail length after transfecting HeLa cells with the indicated siRNAs. A point representing the mRNA from one gene (SPECC1) fell outside the plot area in the PABPC1 and PABPC4 double-knockdown sample. Otherwise, this panel is as in Figure 2A. Tail-length measurements were obtained using TAIL-seq.

Support and extension of experiments showing that PABPC depletion causes premature decay of short-tailed mRNAs in HeLa cells.(A) The effect of PABPC knockdown on poly(A)-tail length in NIH3T3 cells. The plot compares median poly(A)-tail length in PABPC1-knockdown cells to that in control cells. Results are shown for mRNAs with ≥100 poly(A) tags (gray) and for mitochondrial mRNAs (red), merging data for Mt-atp6 and Mt-atp8 and for Mt-nd4 and Mt-nd4l, which are bicistronic mitochondrial mRNAs, and excluding data for Mt-nd6, which does not have a poly(A) tail. (B) The effect of PABPC knockdown on the abundance of mRNAs with different tail lengths in NIH3T3 cells. Shown are tail-length distributions of all cytoplasmic (left) and mitochondrial (right) mRNA poly(A) tags in control and PABPC1-knockdown cells. For each distribution, the abundance of tags was normalized to that of the spike-in tail-length standards. (C) The quality of the tail-length measurements, as determined using internal tail-length standards. Boxplots summarizing poly(A) tail-length distributions of two sets of tail-length standards spiked into total RNA samples obtained from HeLa cells transfected with the indicated siRNAs. Each box-whisker shows the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile of poly(A)-tail lengths. The dashed horizontal lines represent median tail lengths of individual standards, as determined by mobility in denaturing gels (Subtelny et al., 2014). (D) Reproducibility of tail-length measurements. The plot compares median poly(A)-tail lengths from two replicates of the double-knockdown HeLa cells, merging data for MT-ATP6 and MT-ATP8 and for MT-ND4 and MT-ND4L, which are bicistronic mitochondrial mRNAs.

Plotted for mRNAs from each of the indicated genes are tail-length distributions in control, PABPC1- and double-knockdown cells, indicating median values with horizontal lines. For each distribution, the abundance of tags was normalized to that of the spike-in tail-length standards. (G) The effect of PABPC knockdown on the tail-length distributions of mitochondrial mRNAs in HeLa cells. Data were merged for MT-ATP6 and MT-ATP8 and for MT-ND4 and MT-ND4L, which are bicistronic mitochondrial mRNAs. Otherwise, this panel is as in (F). In this figure, tail-length measurements were obtained using PAL-seq v3 (A–B) and TAIL-seq (C–G).

Measurements of mRNA half-lives in PABPC-depleted HeLa cells.(A) Experimental scheme for measuring mRNA half-lives in HeLa cells. siRNA-transfected cells were incubated with 5-ethynyl uridine (5-EU), and cytoplasmic mRNA was harvested at the indicated time points. 5-EU-labeled RNA was biotinylated, isolated, and sequenced, using spike-in standards to normalize results from different time points. For labeled mRNA isolated from each gene, the approach to equilibrium was then fit to obtain its half-life. (B) The effect of PABPC knockdown on cytoplasmic mRNA half-lives in HeLa cells. For each gene, the mRNA half-life in PABPC1-knockdown cells (left) or in double-knockdown cells (right) is compared to that in control cells.
