摘要

Quiescence is a cellular state defined by reversible cell-cycle arrest and diminished biosynthesis, particularly of nucleic acids and proteins. These features protect stem cells from proliferation-induced mutations, self-renewal exhaustion, and environmental insults. Despite relevance to development, tissue homeostasis and cancer, we lack understanding about many aspects of quiescence regulation and unique molecular markers for this state. Here, we employ Drosophila and mammalian neural stem cells to reveal that a mechanism for inhibiting translation in quiescence is selective nuclear enrichment of transcripts from more than 2000 genes, resulting in uncoupling between transcriptome and proteome. Three-quarters of these transcripts become increasingly nuclear as quiescence deepens, and nuclear bias predicts protein downregulation for the large majority of targets. We find that a large fraction of nuclear-biased transcripts present GA-rich multivalency and relocalise to nuclear speckles with increased SR-protein enrichment, which we propose promotes their nuclear retention. Finally, our evidence for differing degrees of transcript processing in steady-state quiescence suggests regulated sequential deployment of factors towards cell-cycle reentry. In brief, we present a previously unappreciated layer of post-transcriptional control of quiescence.
