The human PUF-family proteins, PUM1 and PUM2, posttranscriptionally regulate gene expression by binding to a PUM recognition element (PRE) in the 3'-UTR of target mRNAs. Hundreds of PUM1/2 targets have been identified from changes in steady-state RNA levels; however, prior studies could not differentiate between the contributions of changes in transcription and RNA decay rates. We applied metabolic labeling to measure changes in RNA turnover in response to depletion of PUM1/2, showing that human PUM proteins regulate expression almost exclusively by changing RNA stability. We also applied an in vitro selection workflow to precisely identify the binding preferences of PUM1 and PUM2. By integrating our results with prior knowledge, we developed a "rulebook" of key contextual features that differentiate functional versus nonfunctional PREs, allowing us to train machine learning models that accurately predict the functional regulation of RNA targets by the human PUM proteins. © 2020 Wolfe et al.; Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press for the RNA Society.
