Project description:SETD2 is the specific methyltransferase of H3K36me3, while METTL14 is a critical subunit of the m6A methyltransferase complex. To evaluate the effect of SETD2 and METTL14 on translation, we conducted robosome profiling in SETD2 and METTL14 knockdown and control HepG2 cells. Our RNA ribosome profiling revealed that depletion of SETD2 and METTL14 resulted in a global reduction in RNA translation and the changes of translation efficiency were correlated between SETD2 and METTL14 knockdown cells.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation of mRNA by the methyltransferase complex (MTC), with core components including METTL3-METTL14 heterodimers and Wilms’ tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP), contributes to breast tumorigenesis, but the mechanism of MTC assembly remains elusive. Here, we identify a novel cleaved form METTL3a (residues 239-580 of METTL3), that is highly expressed in breast cancer. Furthermore, we find that both METTL3a and full-length METTL3 are required for MTC assembly, RNA m6A deposition, as well as cancer cell proliferation. Mechanistically, we find that METTL3a is required for METTL3-METTL3 interaction, which is a prerequisite step for recruitment of WTAP in MTC assembly. Analysis of m6A sequencing data shows that depletion of METTL3a globally disrupts m6A methylation, and METTL3a mediates mTOR activation via m6A-mediated suppression of TMEM127 expression. Consequently, we find that METTL3 cleavage is mediated by proteasome in an mTOR-dependent manner, revealing positive regulatory feedback between METTL3a and mTOR signaling. Our findings reveal METTL3a as an important component for MTC assembly, and suggest the METTL3a-mTOR axis as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer.

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.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in the messenger RNA (mRNA) of all higher eukaryotes. This modification has been shown to be reversible in mammals; it is installed by a methyltransferase heterodimer complex of METTL3 and METTL14 bound with WTAP, and reversed by iron(II)- and α-ketoglutarate-dependent demethylases FTO and ALKBH5. This modification exhibits significant functional roles in various biological processes. The m6A modification as a RNA mark is recognized by reader proteins, such as YTH domain family proteins and HNRNPA2B1; m6A can also act as a structure switch to affect RNA-protein interactions for biological regulation. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the methyltransferase subunit MTA (the plant orthologue of human METTL3, encoded by At4g10760) was well characterized and FIP37 (the plant orthologue of human WTAP) was first identified as the interacting partner of MTA. Here we report the discovery and characterization of reversible m6A methylation mediated by AtALKBH10B (encoded by At4g02940) in A. thaliana, and noticeable roles of this RNA demethylase in affecting plant development and floral transition. Our findings reveal potential broad functions of reversible mRNA methylation in plants. m6A peaks were identified from wild type Columbia-0 and atalkbh10b-1 mutant in two biological replicates

Project description:We show that N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal modification in mRNA/lncRNA with still poorly characterized function, alters RNA structure to facilitate the access of RBM for heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (hnRNP C). We term this mechanism m6A-switch. Through combining PAR-CLIP with Me-RIP, we identify 39,060 m6A-switches among hnRNP C binding sites transcriptome-wide. We show that m6A-methyltransferases METTL3 or METTL14 knockdown decreases hnRNP C binding at 16,582 m6A-switches. Taken together, 2,798 m6A-switches of high confidence are identified to mediate RNA-hnRNP C interactions and affect diverse biological processes including cell cycle regulation. These findings reveal the biological importance of m6A and provide insights into the sophisticated regulation of RNA-RBP interactions through m6A-induced RNA structural remodeling. Measure the m6A methylated hnRNP C binding sites transcriptome-wide by PARCLIP-MeRIP; measure the differential hnRNP C occupancies upon METTL3/METTL14 knockdown by PAR-CLIP; measure RNA abundance and splicing level changes upon HNRNPC, METTL3 and METTL14 knockdown

Project description:Trimethylation of lysine 36 on histone H3 (H3K36me3), an epigenetic mark associated with actively transcribed genes, plays an important role in multiple cellular processes, including transcription elongation, DNA methylation, DNA repair, and RNA m6A methylation, etc. Aberrant expression and mutations of the main methyltransferase for H3K36me3, i.e., SET domain-containing 2 (SETD2), were shown to be associated with various cancers. Here, we performed targeted profiling of 154 epitranscriptomic RWE proteins using a scheduled liquid chromatography-parallel-reaction monitoring (LC-PRM) method coupled with the use of stable isotope-labeled (SIL) peptides as internal standards to investigate how H3K36me3 modulates the chromatin occupancies of epitranscriptomic reader, writer, and eraser (RWE) proteins. Our results showed consistent changes in chromatin occupancies of RWE proteins upon losses of H3K36me3 and H4K16ac, and a role of H3K36me3 in recruiting METTL3 to chromatin upon DNA double strand break induction. In addition, protein-protein interaction network and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses revealed the importance of METTL14 and TRMT11 in kidney cancer. Taken together, our work revealed cross-talks between H3K36me3 and epitranscriptomic RWE proteins and uncovered potential roles of these RWE proteins in H3K36me3-mediated biological processes.

Project description:METTL3 and METTL14 are considered to faithfully form the m6A writing complex in a 1:1 ratio, regulating the fate of mRNA by adding m6A modifications. However, recent studies have shown inconsistent expression and prognostic value of METTL3 and METTL14 in some tumors, suggesting that they may not be faithful in tumors. Pan-cancer analysis based on TCGA data reveals significant differences in expression, function, tumor burden correlation, and immune correlation between METTL3 and METTL14, especially in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Knockdown of METTL3 significantly inhibits the cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo in ESCC EC109 cells, while the impact of METTL14 knockdown on proliferation is limited, and it cannot abolish the expression of METTL3 protein. mRNA-seq results indicate that METTL3 independently regulates the expression of 1615 genes, while only 776 genes are co-regulated by METTL3 and METTL14. Furthermore, through immunofluorescence co-localization, it is observed that METTL3 and METTL14 have certain inconsistencies in cellular localization. HPLC-MS results show that METTL3 independently binds to the Nop56p-associated pre-rRNA complex and mRNA splicing complex, separate from METTL14. Through bioinformatics and various omics studies, we have preliminarily discovered that METTL3 independently regulating tumor cell proliferation, and the participation in mRNA splicing may be a critical molecular mechanism. Our study provides an experimental basis and theoretical foundation for further understanding of the m6A writing complex and tumor therapy targeting METTL3.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is the most prevalent RNA modification, which plays a critical role in various bioprocesses.1 This modification is predominantly catalyzed by the m6A methyltransferase complex (MTC), consisting of core subunits such as methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) and methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14), along with cofactors like Wilms tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP). We described the development of a first-in-class potent and selective METTL3-targeted degrader, WD6305, which can effectively degrade both METTL3 and its partner protein METTL14. WD6305 showed superior antiproliferative effects in multiple AML cell lines compared to its parent inhibitor, UZH2. Here, we want to compare the changes in genes between the two.

Project description:Setd2 is the specific methyltransferase of H3K36me3. To understand the global effect of H3K36me3 on m6A modification, we used mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) model with doxycycline (Dox)-induced Setd2 knockdown, and performed m6A-IP followed by sequencing in mESCs with or without Dox treatment. We found that depletion of H3K36me3 by Setd2 silencing globally reduced m6A in mouse transcriptome.

Project description:Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) is the m6A methyltransferase which binds to METTL14 and wilms tumour 1-associated protein (WTAP) to form a complex catalyzing the m6A modification, the most abundant epitranscriptomic modification in eukaryotic mRNAs. And it has been demonstrated that m6A methylation mediated by METTL3 to be essential for inflammatory responses.
