Detection of internal N7-methylguanosine (m7G) RNA modifications by mutational profiling sequencing

ABSTRACT: Methylation of guanosine on position N7 (m7G) on internal RNA positions have been found in all domains of life and have been implicated in human disease, but m7G modifications has so far only been mapped in a limited number of RNA molecules. Here, we present m7G Mutational Profiling sequencing (m7G-MaP-seq), which allows high throughput detection of m7G modifications. In our method, m7G modified positions are converted to abasic sites by mild reduction, recorded as cDNA mutations through reverse transcription, sequenced and subsequently detected by identification of positions with increased mutation rates in the reduced sample compared to the control. We show that m7G-MaP-seq efficiently detects m7G modifications in rRNA, including a previously uncharacterised rRNA modification in Arabidopsis thaliana. Furthermore, we identify m7G tRNA modifications in budding yeast, human and arabidopsis tRNA and show that m7G modification occurs before tRNA splicing. We do not find any evidence for internal m7G modifications being present in other small RNA, such as miRNA, snoRNA and sRNA. Likewise, high coverage m7G-MaP-seq analysis of mRNA from E. coli or yeast cells failed to identify any internal m7G modifications.

Transcriptome Mapping of Internal N7-methylguanosine Methylome in Mammalian mRNA

Project description:N7-methylguanosine (m7G) is a positively charged, essential modification at the 5′ cap of eukaryotic mRNA, regulating mRNA export, translation, and splicing. m7G also occurs internally within tRNA and rRNA, but its existence and distribution within eukaryotic mRNA remain to be investigated. Here, we show the presence of internal m7G sites within mammalian mRNA. We then performed transcriptome-wide profiling of internal m7G methylome using m7G-MeRIP sequencing (MeRIP-seq). To map this modification at base resolution, we developed a chemical-assisted sequencing approach that selectively converts internal m7G sites into abasic sites, inducing misincorporation at these sites during reverse transcription. This base-resolution m7G-seq enabled transcriptome-wide mapping of m7G in human tRNA and mRNA, revealing distribution features of the internal m7G methylome in human cells. We also identified METTL1 as a methyltransferase that installs a subset of m7G within mRNA and showed that internal m7G methylation could affect mRNA translation.

m7G-quant-seq: Quantitative Detection of RNA Internal N7-Methylguanosine

Project description:Methods for the precise detection and quantification of RNA modifications are critical to uncover functional roles of diverse RNA modifications. The internal m7G modification in mammalian cytoplasmic tRNAs is known to affect tRNA function and impact embryonic stem cell self-renewal, tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and other cellular processes. Here, we introduce m7G-quant-seq, a quantitative method that accurately detects internal m7G sites in human cytoplasmic tRNAs at single-base resolution. The efficient chemical reduction and mild depurination can almost completely convert internal m7G sites into RNA abasic sites (AP sites). We demonstrate that RNA abasic sites induce a mixed variation pattern during reverse transcription, including G → A or C or T mutations as well as deletions. We calculated the total variation ratio to quantify the m7G modification fraction at each methylated site. The calibration curves of all relevant motif contexts allow us to more quantitatively determine the m7G methylation level. We detected internal m7G sites in 22 human cytoplasmic tRNAs from HeLa and HEK293T cells and successfully estimated the corresponding m7G methylation stoichiometry. m7G-quant-seq could be applied to monitor the tRNA m7G methylation level change in diverse biological processes.

METTL1/WDR4 mediated tRNA N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modifications promote mRNA translation and lung cancer progression [TRAC-seq]

Project description:The tRNA N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification is not essential for yeast growth, but in mammals mis-regulations of tRNA m7G modification cause stem cell defect and developmental disorders. Here we found that tRNA m7G methyltransferase complex components METTL1 and WDR4 are elevated in lung cancer tissues and associated with poor lung cancer prognosis. Functionally, depletion of METTL1 or WDR4 suppresses proliferation, migration, and invasion of lung cancer cells. In addition, forced expression of METTL1 or WDR4 promotes lung cancer progression depending on the tRNA m7G methyltransferase activity. Mechanistically, METTL1 knockdown leads to reduced tRNA m7G modification and decreased expression of m7G-modified tRNAs. Depletion of METTL1 selectively reduces the translation of a subset of oncogenic transcripts, including the genes related to cell proliferation in a m7G related codon dependent manner. Our study uncovered a new layer of translation regulation mechanism mediated by tRNA m7G modification, provided strong evidence to support the important physiological function of mis-regulated tRNA modification in cancer, and suggested that targeting METTL1 could be a promising strategy for lung cancer treatment.

N7-methylguanosine tRNA modification promotes esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tumorigenesis via the RPTOR/ULK1/autophagy axis

Project description:The cancer cells selectively promote the translation of oncogenic mRNAs to facilitate cancer progression, while the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. The tRNA N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification is not essential for yeast growth, but in mammals mis-regulations of tRNA m7G modification cause stem cell defect and developmental disorders. Here we found that tRNA m7G methyltransferase complex components METTL1 and WDR4 are elevated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues and associated with poor ESCC prognosis. Functionally, depletion of METTL1 or WDR4 suppresses proliferation, migration, and invasion of ESCC cells. In addition, forced expression of METTL1 or WDR4 promotes ESCC progression depending on the tRNA m7G methyltransferase activity. Mechanistically, METTL1 knockdown leads to reduced tRNA m7G modification and decreased expression of m7G-modified tRNAs. Depletion of METTL1 selectively reduces the translation of a subset of oncogenic transcripts, including the genes related to mTOR signaling and autophagy in m7G related codon dependent manner. Rescue assays revealed the essential function of RPTOR/ULK1/autophagy axis in METTL1 driven ESCC progression. Furthermore, ESCC initiation and progression models using Mettl1 conditional knockout and knockin mice uncovered the strong physiological function of Mettl1 in promoting in vivo ESCC tumorigenesis. Our study uncovered a new layer of translation regulation mechanism mediated by tRNA m7G modification, provided strong evidence to support the important physiological function of mis-regulated tRNA modification in cancer, and suggested that targeting METTL1 and its downstream signaling axis could be a promising strategy for ESCC treatment.

N7-Methylguanosine tRNA modification promotes hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis after insufficient radiofrequency ablation

Project description:Radiofrequency heat ablation is an ideal radical cure for HCC treatment; however, insufficient radiofrequency ablation (IRFA) could lead to a high recurrence rate. N7-methylguanosine (m7G) on tRNAs is a heat-responding modification that is critical for yeast survival under high temperature, while its function and mechanism in HCC recurrence after IRFA are unknown. Here, we found that IRFA significantly up-regulates the level of m7G tRNA modification and its methyltransferase complex components METTL1 and WDR4 in multiple systems including HCC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse, HCC tissues of patients, sublethal-heat-treated models of HCC cell lines and organoids. Functionally, gain- or loss-of function assays showed that METTL1 mediated m7G tRNA modification promotes HCC metastasis under sublethal heat exposure both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we found that METTL1 and m7G tRNA modification enhance the translation of SLUG and SNAIL in a codon frequency dependent manner under sublethal heat exposure. Overexpression of SLUG and SNAIL rescued the malignant potency of METTL1 knockdown HCC cells after sublethal heat stress. Our study uncovers the important physiological functions of m7G tRNA modification in heat stress responses and HCC recurrence after IRFA and suggests that targeting METTL1-m7G-SLUG and SNAIL axis could be a promising strategy to prevent HCC metastasis after radiofrequency heat ablation treatment.

Recognition of internal mRNA N7-methylguanosine by QKI shuttles transcripts into stress granules and regulates translation

Project description:Recent studies reported that N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification exists in internal mRNAs; however, the “reader” protein for mRNA internal m7G modification is still unrevealed. Here, by performing m7G MeRIP-seq and RIP-seq, we identified quaking protein (QKI) as a novel internal m7G modification reader. Internal mRNA m7G modification acts as a key player in mRNA translation under stress condition. To explore the mechanism underlying the function of QKI in translation regulation, we employed RNA-seq and Ribo-seq, and demonstrated that QKI7 regulates the translation efficiency of a subset of internal m7G-modified transcripts under stress condition.

N7-methylguanosine tRNA modification promotes tumorigenesis and chemoresistance through WNT/β-Catenin pathway in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Project description:Treatment selections are very limited for patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) experiencing disease progression. Uncovering the potential mechanism underlying NPC progression is crucial for identify novel treatments. Here we show that N7-methylguanosine (m7G) tRNA modification enzyme METTL1 and its partner WDR4 are significantly elevated in NPC and associated with poor prognosis. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function assays demonstrated that METTL1/WDR4 mediated m7G tRNA modification promotes NPC growth and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, m7G tRNA modification selectively regulates the translation of transcripts with higher percentage of m7G tRNA decoded codons. Moreover, further analysis revealed that METTL1-mediated m7G tRNA modification activates WNT/β-Catenin signaling pathway to promote NPC cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and chemoresistance to cisplatin and docetaxel in vitro and in vivo. Our work uncovers a novel layer of mRNA translation regulation mechanism at codon recognition step mediated by tRNA modification and reveals the critical function of tRNA modification in cancer progression.
