METTL3-mediated m6A modification is required for cerebellar development m6A modification and cerebellar development

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation is the most abundant modification on mRNAs and plays important roles in various biological processes. The formation of m6A is catalyzed by a methyltransferase complex including methyltransferase like 3 (METTL3) as a key factor. However, the in vivo functions of METTL3 and m6A modification in mammalian development remain unclear. Here we show that specific inactivation of Mettl3 in mouse nervous system causes severe developmental defects in the brain. Mettl3 conditional knockout mice manifest cerebellar hypoplasia caused by drastically enhanced apoptosis of new born cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) in the external granular layer (EGL). METTL3 depletion induced loss of m6A modification causes extended RNA half-lives and aberrant splicing events, consequently leading to dysregulation of transcriptome-wide gene expression and premature CGC death. Our findings reveal a critical role of METTL3-mediated m6A in regulating the development of mammalian cerebellum.

m6A RNA modification controls cell fate transition in mammalian embryonic stem cells

Project description:N6-methyl-adenosine (m6A) is the most abundant modification on messenger RNAs and is linked to human diseases, but its functions in mammalian development are poorly understood. Here we reveal the evolutionary conservation and function of m6A by mapping the m6A methylome in mouse and human embryonic stem cells. Thousands of messenger and long noncoding RNAs show conserved m6A modification, including transcripts encoding core pluripotency transcription factors. m6A is enriched over 3M-bM-^@M-^Y untranslated regions at defined sequence motifs, and marks unstable transcripts, including transcripts turned over upon differentiation. Genetic inactivation or depletion of mouse and human Mettl3, one of the m6A methylases, led to m6A erasure on select target genes, prolonged Nanog expression upon differentiation, and impaired ESCM-bM-^@M-^Ys exit from self-renewal towards differentiation into several lineages in vitro and in vivo. Thus, m6A is a mark of transcriptome flexibility required for stem cells to differentiate to specific lineages. Examing m6A modification differences in two different cell types

Identification and Characterization of the Mammalian Nuclear RNA N6-Adenosine Methyltransferase Core Complex

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal modification found in mammalian messenger and non-coding RNAs. The discoveries of functionally significant demethylases that reverse this methylation as well as the recently revealed m6A distributions in mammalian transcriptomes strongly indicate regulatory functions of this modification. Here we report the identification and characterization of the mammalian nuclear RNA N6-adenosine methyltransferase core (RNMTC) complex. Besides METTL3, a methyltransferase which was the only known component of RNMTC in the past, we discovered that a previously uncharacterized methyltransferase, METTL14, exhibits a N6-adenosine methyltransferase activity higher than METTL3. Together with WTAP, the third component that dramatically affects the cellular m6A level, these three proteins form the core complex that orchestrates m6A deposition on mammalian nuclear RNA. Biochemistry assays, imaging experiments, as well as transcriptome-wide analyses of the binding sites and their effects on m6A methylation support methylation function and reveal new insights of RNMTC.

m6A RNA Methylation Is Regulated by MicroRNAs and Promotes Reprogramming to Pluripotency

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been recently identified as a conserved epitranscriptomic modification of eukaryotic mRNAs, but its features, regulatory mechanisms, and functions in cell reprogramming are largely unknown. Here, we report m6A modification profiles in the mRNA transcriptomes of four cell types with different degrees of pluripotency. Comparative analysis reveals several features of m6A, especially gene- and cell-type-specific m6A mRNA modifications. We also show that microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate m6A modification via a sequence pairing mechanism. Manipulation of miRNA expression or sequences alters m6A modification levels through modulating the binding of METTL3 methyltransferase to mRNAs containing miRNA targeting sites. Increased m6A abundance promotes the reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to pluripotent stem cells; conversely, reduced m6A levels impede reprogramming. Our results therefore uncover a role for miRNAs in regulating m6A formation of mRNAs and provide a foundation for future functional studies of m6A modification in cell reprogramming. m6A-seq in ESC, iPSC, NSC and sertoli cells.

m6A RNA Methylation is Critical for Adequate Exit from NaM-CM-/ve Pluripotency and Execution of Mammalian Development (m6a-seq)

Project description:In this study we identify Mettl3, an m6A RNA modification writer, as a critical regulator for terminating naM-CM-/ve pluripotency and a positive maintainer of primed pluripotency in vitro and in vivo. Remarkably, Mettl3 knockout pre-implantation epiblasts and naM-CM-/ve ES cells, entirely lack m6A on coding mRNAs and are viable. Yet, they fail to adequately terminate the naM-CM-/ve pluripotent state, and subsequently undergo aberrant priming and early lineage commitment at the post-implantation stage. A comprehensive functional and genomic analysis involving profiling of m6A, RNA transcription and translation in Mettl3 wild-type and knockout pluripotent and differentiated cells, identified m6A as a critical determinant that destabilizes secondary naM-CM-/ve specific pluripotency genes Esrrb, Klf4 and Nanog, and restrains their transcript stability and translation efficiency. In summary, our findings provide for the first time evidence for a critical role for an mRNA epigenetic modification in early mammalian development in vivo, and identify a mechanism that functionally regulates mouse naM-CM-/ve and primed pluripotency in an opposing manner. m6A-seq was measured from total RNA in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), embroid bodies (EBs) and embronic fibroblasts (MEF). 3 biological replicates are available from BVSC ESC line and EBs, and two biological replicates are available for MEFs.

RNA m6A modification mediated by METTL3 is important for IAP heterochromatin integrity in mESCs [YTHDC1_ChIP]

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase METTL3 mainly mediates mRNA m6A methylation and plays important roles in various biological processes. Here we report a chromatin-based role for METTL3 in heterochromatin integrity regulation in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). We show that in mESCs METTL3 predominantly localizes to one of the most active endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) families, the intracisternal A-type particles (IAPs). We further show that METTL3 knockout (KO) impairs deposition of multiple heterochromatin marks on METTL3-targeted IAPs, and upregulates IAP transcription without affecting the stability of the resulting RNAs. De-repression can be rescued by wildtype but not catalytically inactive METTL3, suggesting that METTL3-mediated methylation is important for heterochromatin silencing. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that METTL3 physically interacts with the H3K9 tri-methyltransferase SETDB1 and its regulator TRIM28, and reciprocally promote each other’s localization to IAPs. Importantly, we show that m6A catalytical activity of METTL3 is necessary for its own recruitment to chromatin but not its interactions with SETDB1 and TRIM28. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that RNA m6A modification mediated by METTL3 is important for IAP heterochromatin integrity in mESCs.

m6A RNA Methylation is Critical for Adequate Exit from Naïve Pluripotency and Execution of Mammalian Development (Ribo-seq)

Project description:In this study we identify Mettl3, an m6A RNA modification writer, as a critical regulator for terminating naïve pluripotency and a positive maintainer of primed pluripotency in vitro and in vivo. Remarkably, Mettl3 knockout pre-implantation epiblasts and naïve ES cells, entirely lack m6A on coding mRNAs and are viable. Yet, they fail to adequately terminate the naïve pluripotent state, and subsequently undergo aberrant priming and early lineage commitment at the post-implantation stage. A comprehensive functional and genomic analysis involving profiling of m6A, RNA transcription and translation in Mettl3 wild-type and knockout pluripotent and differentiated cells, identified m6A as a critical determinant that destabilizes secondary naïve specific pluripotency genes Esrrb, Klf4 and Nanog, and restrains their transcript stability and translation efficiency. In summary, our findings provide for the first time evidence for a critical role for an mRNA epigenetic modification in early mammalian development in vivo, and identify a mechanism that functionally regulates mouse naïve and primed pluripotency in an opposing manner. Ribosome footprint (Ribo-Seq) was measured from mouse embryonic stem cells and mouse embriod bodies, in WT and Mettl3-KO cell lines.
