Location and Function of Cytosine-5 Methylation in RNA

ABSTRACT:

Mutations in the cytosine-5 RNA methyltransferase NSun2 can cause neurodevelopmental disorders and symptoms commonly found in patients with Dubowitz-like syndrome. Some tRNAs are known to be methylated NSun2, however the occurrence of cytosine-5 methylation (m⁵C) in other RNA biotypes is still under debate. Location in RNA and function of m⁵C has not been studied yet. This study is aimed at identifying new m⁵C methylated RNA biotypes, as well as the location at specific structures or sequences and the ultimate biological function. The impact of the loss of NSun2-mediated methylation is also determined by comparing gene expression data with the global cytosine-5 RNA methylome in Dubowitz-like syndrome patients. We also use ribosomal profiling to assess the impact of the loss and rescue of Nsun2-mediated cytosine-5 RNA methylation on translation rates and ribosome occupancy.

m1A marks translation initiation sites in human and mouse messenger RNA [microarray]

Project description:We developed a novel approach, m1A-seq, for high-resolution mapping of the transcriptome-wide m1A landscape, based on antibody-mediated capture followed by massively parallel sequencing. Using this method we performed immunodepletion of methylated transcipts to assess the average methylation level Immunodepletion of m1A modified transcripts in human compared to the input, allows for estimation of the fraction of methylated transcripts. We compared the expression levels of sup (immunodepleted) and input methylated transcripts to deduce the fraction of m1A methylation.

Cell-type specific DNA methylome signatures reveal epigenetic mechanisms for neuronal diversity and neurodevelopmental disorder

Project description:We report the application of an affinity purification approach (INTACT) to isolate tagged nuclei for GABAergic (GABA), Glutamatergic (Glu), and Purkinje neurons in mice. We performed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) to explore the cell type-specific DNA methylation signatures for the three neuronal types, together with matched transcriptomics. We found a substantial number of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between cell types, characterized cell-type specific DMRs, and estimated the effects of DNA methylation on gene expression. Finally, we revealed that DNA methylation altered in a cell-type specific manner in a mouse model of Rett syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by Mecp2 loss of function. The presented data emphasize the important role of DNA methylation-mediated epigenetic regulation in neuronal diversity and disease.

Quantitiave analysis of protein methylome reveals the cellular response to ionizing radiation

Project description:Protein methylation plays important roles in DNA damage signaling. To date, there is still a lack of global profiling of whole-cell methylation changes during the DNA damage response and repair. In this study, using HILIC affinity enrichment combined with MS analysis, we conducted a quantitative analysis of the methylated proteins in HEK293T cells in response to IR-induced DNA damage. In total, 235 distinct methylation sites responding to IR treatment were identified, and 38% of them were previously unknown. Multiple RNA-binding proteins were differentially methylated upon DNA damage stress. Furthermore, we identified 14 novel methylations in DNA damage response-related proteins. Moreover, we validated the function of PARP1 K23 methylation in repairing IR-induced DNA lesions.

RNA-seq of SUPT1, LOUCY, JURKAT and DND41 after treatment with 5-azacytidine and Vitamin C

Project description:TET2 is a know tumorsuppressor gene involved in the demethylation of DNA. TET2 catalyses the conversion of 5-methyl cytosine (5-mC) to 5-hydroximethyl cytosine (5-hmC), an important step in the removal of methylation from the DNA. In T-All mutations in TET2 are rare, however we have found that it is often silenced by DNA Methylation. 5-Azacytidine (5-AZA) is a an effective demethylating agent used as a cancer treatment and has been showed to be able to reactivate methylated genes. Similarly, Vitamin C is an important co-factor for TET2 and has been shown to have synergistic effects with 5-Azacytidine. By treating the TET2 methylated T-ALL cell lines Loucy and DND41 and comparing to TET2 expressing T-ALL cells lines such as SUP-T1 and Jurkat we aimed to explore if 5-AZA could reactivate TET2 in T-ALL, what effects this would have on tumorgenicity and whether Vitamin C had any synergy with these effects in T-ALL. As part of this effort we treated the cell lines SUP-T1, Jurkat, Loucy and DND41 with 5-AZA and Vitamin C and performed Total RNA-seq to explore the effects of 5-AZA and Vitamin C on the expression of genes and non-coding elements such as retrotransponsons.

m6A RNA methylation promotes XIST-mediated transcriptional repression

Project description:XIST is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that mediates transcriptional silencing of X chromosome genes. Here we show that XIST is highly methylated with at least 78 N6-methyladenosine (m6A) residues, a reversible base modification whose function in lncRNAs is unknown. We show that m6A formation in XIST, as well as cellular mRNAs, is mediated by RBM15 and its paralog RBM15B, which bind the m6A-methylation complex and recruit it to specific sites in RNA. This results in methylation of adenosines in adjacent m6A consensus motifs. Furthermore, knockdown of RBM15 and RBM15B, or knockdown of the m6A methyltransferase METTL3 impairs XIST-mediated gene silencing. A systematic comparison of m6A-binding proteins shows that YTHDC1 preferentially recognizes m6A in XIST and is required for XIST function. Additionally, artificial tethering of YTHDC1 to XIST rescues XIST-mediated silencing upon loss of m6A. These data reveal a pathway of m6A formation and recognition required for XIST-mediated transcriptional repression. Three to four biological HEK293T replicates were used to perform iCLIP of endogenous YTH proteins, RBM15, and RBM15B. Crosslinking induced truncations were identified using CIMS-CITS pipeline.

High-resolution mapping reveals a conserved, widespread, dynamic meiotically regulated mRNA methylation program

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most ubiquitous mRNA base modification, but little is known about its precise location, temporal dynamics, and regulation. Here, we generated genomic maps of m6A sites in meiotic yeast transcripts at nearly single-nucleotide resolution, identifying 1,308 putatively methylated sites within 1,183 transcripts. We validated 8/8 methylation sites in different genes with direct genetic analysis, demonstrated that methylated sites are significantly conserved in a related species, and built a model that predicts methylated sites directly from sequence. Sites vary in their methylation profiles along a dense meiotic time-course, and are regulated both locally, via predictable methylatability of each site, and globally, through the core meiotic circuitry. The methyltransferase complex components localize to the yeast nucleolus, and this localization is essential for mRNA methylation. Our data illuminates a conserved, dynamically regulated methylation program in yeast meiosis, and provides an important resource for studying the function of this epitranscriptomic modification.

Epigenetic homogeneity in histone methylation underlies sperm programming for embryonic transcription

Project description:Sperm contributes genetic and epigenetic information to the embryo to efficiently support development. However, the mechanism underlying such developmental competence remains elusive. Here, we investigated whether all sperm cells have a common epigenetic configuration that primes transcriptional program for embryonic development. We show for the first time that remodelling of histones during spermiogenesis results in the retention of methylated histone H3 at the same genomic location in every sperm cell. This homogeneously methylated fraction of histone H3 in the sperm genome is maintained during early embryonic replication. Such methylated histone fraction resisting postfertilisation reprogramming marks developmental genes whose expression is perturbed upon experimental reduction of histone methylation. A similar homogeneously methylated histone H3 fraction is detected in human sperm. Altogether, we uncover a conserved mechanism of paternal epigenetic information transmission to the embryo through the homogeneous retention of methylated histone in a sperm cells population.

Arabidopsis MORC proteins function in the efficient establishment of RNA directed DNA methylation

Project description:The Microrchidia (MORC) family of ATPases are required for transposable element (TE) silencing and heterochromatin condensation in plants and animals, and C. elegans MORC-1 has been shown to topologically entrap and condense DNA. In Arabidopsis thaliana, mutation of MORCs has been shown to reactivate silent methylated genes and transposons and to decondense heterochromatic chromocenters, despite only minor changes in the maintenance of DNA methylation. Here we provide the first evidence localizing Arabidopsis MORC proteins to specific regions of chromatin and find that MORC4 and MORC7 are closely co-localized with sites of RNA directed DNA methylation (RdDM). We further show that MORC7, when tethered to DNA by an artificial zinc finger, can facilitate the establishment of RdDM. Finally, we show that MORCs are required for the efficient RdDM mediated establishment of DNA methylation and silencing of a newly integrated FWA transgene, even though morc mutations have no effect on the maintenance of preexisting methylation at the endogenous FWA gene. We propose that MORCs function as a molecular tether in RdDM complexes to reinforce RdDM activity for methylation establishment. These findings have implications for MORC protein function in a variety of other eukaryotic organisms.

Arraystar m6A-mRNA&lncRNA Epitranscriptomic Microarray Service for 6 Mouse samples

Project description:Total RNA from each sample was quantified using the NanoDrop ND-1000 and RNA integrity was assessed by Bioanalyzer 2100 or Mops electrophoresis. The sample preparation and microarray hybridization were performed based on the Arraystar’s standard protocols. Briefly, the total RNAs were immunoprecipitated with anti-N6-methyladenosine (m6A) antibody. The modified RNAs were eluted from the immunoprecipitated magnetic beads as the “IP”. The unmodified RNAs were recovered from the supernatant as “Sup”. The “IP” and “Sup” RNAs were labeled with Cy5 and Cy3 respectively as cRNAs in separate reactions using Arraystar RNA Labeling protocol. The cRNAs were combined together and hybridized onto Arraystar Mouse mRNA&lncRNA Epitranscriptomic Microarray (8x60K, Arraystar). After washing the slides, the arrays were scanned in two-color channels by an Agilent Scanner G2505C.Agilent Feature Extraction software (version 11.0.1.1) was used to analyze acquired array images. Raw intensities of IP (immunoprecipitated, Cy5-labelled) and Sup (supernatant, Cy3-labelled) were normalized with average of log2-scaled Spike-in RNA intensities. After Spike-in normalization, the probe signals having Present (P) or Marginal (M) QC flags in a certain proportion were retained for further “m6A quantity” analyses. “m6A quantity” was calculated for the m6A methylation amount based on the IP (Cy5-labelled) normalized intensities. Differentially m6A-methylated RNAs between two comparison groups were identified by filtering with the fold change and statistical significance (p-value) thresholds. Hierarchical Clustering was performed to show the distinguishable m6A-methylation pattern among samples.

Proteome-wide identification of Lysine Methylation on non-histone of tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum) during ripening

Project description:Post-translational modification of proteins through methylation plays important regulatory role in biological processes. Lysine methylation on histone proteins is known to play important role in chromatin structure and function. However, non-histone protein substrates of this modification remain largely unknown. Herein, we use high resolution mass spectrometry to global screening methylated substrates and lysine- methylation sites in tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum). A total of 241 sites of lysine methylation (mono-, di-, tri-methylation) in 176 proteins with diverse biological functions and subcellular localized were identified in mix tomato with different maturity. Two putative methylation motifs were detected. KEGG pathway category enrichment analysis indicated that methylated proteins are implicated in the regulation of diverse metabolic processes, including arbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms, pentose phosphate pathway, fructose and mannose metabolism, and cysteine and methionine metabolism. Three representative proteins were selected to analyze the effect of methylated modification on protein function. In addition, quantitative RT-PCR further validated the gene expression level of some key methylated proteins during fruit ripening, which are involved in oxidation reduction process, stimulus and stress, energy metabolism, signaling transduction, fruit ripening and senescence. These data represent the first report of methylation proteomic and supply abundant resources for exploring the functions of lysine methylation in tomato and other plants.
