Differential m6A, m6Am, and m1A Demethylation Mediated by FTO in Cell Nucleus and Cytoplasm

ABSTRACT: FTO, the first RNA demethylase discovered, mediates the demethylation of N6-methyladenosine (m6A), installed internally on messenger RNA, and N6,2′-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am), occurring at the +1 position from the 5’ cap. Despite extensive recent research on FTO, its physiological impact on cellular processes has yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that the cellular distribution of FTO is distinct among different cell lines, which critically affects the access of FTO to different RNA substrates. FTO binds multiple RNA substrates, including mRNA, U6 RNA, and tRNA. It mainly targets internal m6A when located in the cell nucleus and preferentially demethylates m6Am when residing in the cytoplasm. The expression levels of transcripts containing internal m6A are associated with the alteration of the FTO more so than transcripts containing m6Am. We also discover that N1-methyladenosine (m1A) in tRNA is a main substrate of FTO, with the FTO-catalyzed demethylation of target tRNAs repressing protein synthesis. Collectively, FTO-mediated RNA demethylation affects both mRNA level and translation through distinct pathways.

FTO mediates LINE1 m6A demethylation and chromatin regulation in mESCs and mouse tissues

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in mammalian messenger RNA (mRNA). It is installed by writer proteins and can be reversed by erasers. FTO was the first RNA demethylase shown to catalyze oxidative demethylation of m6A in RNA. Despite extensive studies, the main physiological substrates of FTO and the related functional pathways remain elusive in many systems, in particular during early mammalian development. Here, we show that FTO mediates the m6A demethylation of chromosome-associated repeat RNAs in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), especially the long-interspersed element-1 family (LINE1) RNA, thereby affecting their abundances to regulate chromatin state.

FTO mediates LINE1 m6A demethylation and chromatin regulation in mESCs and mouse development

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification on mammalian messenger RNA (mRNA). It is installed by a writer complex and can be reversed by erasers such as the fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO). Despite extensive research, the primary physiological substrates of FTO in mammalian tissues and development remain elusive. Here, we show that FTO mediates m6A demethylation of long-interspersed element-1 (LINE1) RNA in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), regulating LINE1 RNA abundance and the local chromatin state, which in turn modulates transcription of LINE1-containing genes. FTO-mediated LINE1 RNA m6A demethylation also plays regulatory roles in shaping chromatin state and gene expression during mouse oocyte and embryonic development. Our results suggest broad effects of LINE1 RNA m6A demethylation by FTO in mammals.

Coordination of mRNA and tRNA methylations by TRMT10A

Project description:The post-transcriptional modification of mRNA and tRNA provides an additional layer of regulatory complexity during gene expression. TRMT10A is a tRNA methyltransferase that installs N1-methylguanosine (m1G), while FTO performs demethylation on N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6,2'-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) in mRNA. We find that this tRNA methyltransferase TRMT10A interacts with mRNA demethylase FTO (ALKBH9), both in vitro and inside cells. Strikingly, depletion of TRMT10A not only led to decreased m1G in tRNA but also significantly increased m6A levels in mRNA. CLIP-seq results showed that TRMT10A shares a significant overlap of associated mRNAs with FTO, and these mRNAs have accelerated decay rates potentially through the regulation by specific m6A reader. Furthermore, transcripts with increased m6A upon TRMT10A ablation contain an overrepresentation of m1G9-containing tRNAs codons read by tRNAGln(TTG), tRNAArg(CCG), and tRNAThr(CGT). These findings collectively reveal the presence of coordinated mRNA and tRNA modifications and demonstrate a mechanism for regulating gene expression through the interactions between mRNA and tRNA modifying enzymes.

m6A/m-Seq of mouse adult cortex of Mettl3 cKO or Fto cKO mice

Project description:N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) and N6,2′-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) are abundant mRNA modifications that regulate transcript processing and translation. The role of both, here termed m6A/m, in the stress response in the adult brain in vivo are currently unknown. Here, we investigated the effect of gene deletion of Mettl3, a m6A methyltransferase, and Fto, a m6A and m6Am demethlyase, induced in adulthood in excitatory neurons of the neocortex and hippocampus (Camk2a-Cre Mettl3 or Fto cKO) on the cortical epitranscriptome. PolyA-RNA-fragments from 3-5 replicates per group were processed both as m6A/m-sample (RNA immunoprecipiation RIP with an m6A and m6Am antibody) and RNA-input sample.

Cap-specific terminal N6-methylation of RNA by an RNA polymerase II-associated methyltransferase.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A), a major modification of messenger RNAs (mRNAs), plays critical roles in RNA metabolism and function. In addition to the internal m6A, N6, 2'-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) is present at the transcription start nucleotide of capped mRNAs in vertebrates. However, its biogenesis and functional role remain elusive. Using a reverse genetics approach, we identified PCIF1, a factor that interacts with the serine-5-phosphorylated carboxyl-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II, as a cap-specific adenosine methyltransferase (CAPAM) responsible for N6-methylation of m6Am. The crystal structure of CAPAM in complex with substrates revealed the molecular basis of cap-specific m6A formation. A transcriptome-wide analysis revealed that N6-methylation of m6Am promotes the translation of capped mRNAs. Thus, a cap-specific m6A writer promotes translation of mRNAs starting from m6Am.

Reversible methylation of m6Am in the 5′ cap controls mRNA stability

Project description:Internal bases in mRNA can be subjected to modifications that influence the fate of mRNA in cells. One of the most prevalent modified bases is found at the 5′ end of mRNA, at the first encoded nucleotide adjacent to the 7-methylguanosine cap. Here we show that this nucleotide, N6,2′-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am), is a reversible modification that influences cellular mRNA fate. Using a transcriptome-wide map of m6Am we find that m6Am-initiated transcripts are markedly more stable than mRNAs that begin with other nucleotides. We show that the enhanced stability of m6Am-initiated transcripts is due to resistance to the mRNA-decapping enzyme DCP2. Moreover, we find that m6Am is selectively demethylated by fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO). FTO preferentially demethylates m6Am rather than N6-methyladenosine (m6A), and reduces the stability of m6Am mRNAs. Together, these findings show that the methylation status of m6Am in the 5′ cap is a dynamic and reversible epitranscriptomic modification that determines mRNA stability.

An atlas of single-base-resolution N6-methyl-adenine methylomes redefines RNA demethylase function as suppressors of disruptive RNA methylation

Project description:Various methylases and demethylases catalyze methylation and demethylation of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6,2?-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) but precise methylomes uniquely mediated by each methylase/demethylase are still lacking. Here, we developed m6A-Crosslinking-Exonuclease-sequencing (m6ACE-seq) to map m6A and m6Am at transcriptome-wide single-base-resolution. m6ACE-seq's ability to quantify relative differences in methylation levels across samples enabled the generation of a comprehensive atlas of distinct methylomes uniquely mediated by every individual known methylase/demethylase. We determined METTL16 to indirectly impact manifold methylation targets beyond its consensus target motif, and highlighted the importance of precision in mapping PCIF1-dependent m6Am. Rather than reverse RNA methylation, we found that both ALKBH5 and FTO demethylases instead maintain their regulated sites in an unmethylated steady-state. In FTO's absence, anomalous m6Am disrupts snRNA interaction with nuclear export machinery, potentially causing aberrant pre-mRNA splicing events. We propose a model whereby RNA demethylases ensure normal RNA metabolism by suppressing disruptive RNA methylation in the nucleus.

m6A IP sequencing analysis of m6A mRNA methylation regulation by FTO in melanoma cells

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation is the most abundant internal chemical modifications in eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA) as well as long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). Recently, m6A RNA methylation research was revived by the discovery of the fat mass- and obesity-associated protein (FTO) as the first RNA demethylase, implicating that m6A RNA methylation is a reversible and dynamic modification and may have critical biological functions. Emerging evidence has shown that m6A modifications in mRNAs and lncRNAs play crucial roles in regulating RNA fate and function in biological processes in the past several years. As the first identified RNA demethylase that regulates the demethylation of target mRNAs, FTO has been reported to play an oncogenic role in leukemia and glioblastoma stem cells. To identify the target genes of FTO in melanoma cells, we used m6A IP seq coupled with RNA seq to determine the potential demethylation and gene targets across the whole transcriptome for FTO, and identified more than 1,000 genes.
