Determination of 5-methyluridine in messenger RNA of mammals

ABSTRACT: The discovery of dynamic and reversible modifications in messenger RNA (mRNA) is opening new directions in RNA modification-mediated regulation of biological processes. Methylation is the most prevalent modification occurring in mRNA and the methylation group is mainly decorated in the adenine, cytosine, and guanine base, or in the 2’-hydroxyl group of ribose. However, methylation of the uracil base (5-methyluridine, m5U) hasn’t been discovered in mRNA of eukaryotes. In the current study, we established a method by N-cyclohexyl-N’-β-(4-methylmorpholinium) ethylcarbodiimide p-toluenesulfonate (CMCT) labelling coupled with liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry analysis (LC-ESI-MS/MS) for the sensitive determination of uridine modifications in RNA. Our results demonstrated that the detection sensitivities of uridine modifications in RNA increased up to 1543 folds upon CMCT labelling. Using the developed method, we identified the distinct existence of m5U in mRNA of various mammalian cells and tissues. In addition, the stable isotope tracing monitored by mass spectrometry revealed that the methylation group of m5U originated from S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM). Our study expanded the list of modifications occurring in mRNA of mammals. Future work on transcriptome-wide mapping of m5U will further uncover the functional roles of m5U in mRNA of mammals.

Quantifying propagation of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation with iDEMS

Project description:DNA methylation is a critical epigenetic mark in mammalian cells. Many aspects of DNA methylation maintenance have been characterized, however the exact kinetics of post-replicative methylation maintenance remain a subject of debate. Here we develop isolation of DNA by EdU-labelling for Mass Spectrometry (iDEMS), a highly sensitive, quantitative mass spectrometry-based method for measuring DNA modifications on metabolically labelled DNA. iDEMS reveals an unexpectedly hemi-methylated landscape on nascent DNA. Combining iDEMS with metabolic labelling reveals that methylation maintenance is outpaced by cell division in mouse embryonic stem cells. Our approach shows hydroxymethylation is perpetually asymmetric between sister strands in favor of the parental, template strand. iDEMS can be coupled with immunoprecipitation of chromatin proteins, revealing features of DNA methylation-histone modification crosstalk and suggesting a model for interplay between methylation and nucleosome assembly. iDEMS therefore elucidates long-standing questions about DNA modification propagation and provides an important orthogonal technology to understanding this process in dynamic cellular contexts.

Human RNase 4 Improves mRNA Sequence Characterization by LC-MS/MS.

Project description:With the rapid growth of synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA)-based therapeutics and vaccines, the development of analytical tools for characterization of long, complex RNAs has become essential. Tandem liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) permits direct assessment of the mRNA primary sequence and modifications thereof without conversion to cDNA or amplification. It relies upon digestion of mRNA with site-specific endoribonucleases to generate pools of short oligonucleotides that are then amenable to MS-based sequence analysis. Here, we showed that the uridine-specific human endoribonuclease hRNase 4 improves mRNA sequence coverage, in comparison with the benchmark enzyme RNase T1, by producing a large population of uniquely mappable cleavage products. Furthermore, we deployed hRNase 4 to characterize mRNAs fully substituted with 1-methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ) or 5-methoxyuridine (mo5U), as well as mRNAs selectively depleted of uridine–two key strategies to reduce synthetic mRNA immunogenicity. Lastly, we demonstrated that hRNase 4 enables direct assessment of the 5′ cap incorporation in in vitro synthesized mRNA. Collectively, this study highlights the power of hRNase 4 to interrogate mRNA sequence, identity, and modifications by LC-MS/MS.

PRMT1 regulates microRNA biogenesis through the methylation of the Large Drosha Complex

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) biogenesis is a tightly controlled multi-step process operated in the nucleus by the activity of the Large Drosha Complex (LDC). We previously reported that the LDC is highly methylated. To investigate the extent of this post-translational modification, we extensively characterized the LDC methyl-proteome by combining heavy methyl SILAC metabolic labelling of cells with the affinity-enrichment of the complex, followed by high resolution mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. We found that arginine (R) methylation is the predominant modification, occurring on multiple sites of 13 of the 23 subunits of the complex. Interestingly, the depletion- or pharmacological inhibition- of PRMT1, the major protein R-methyltransferase in mammals, alters the LDC methylation state and this is linked to a global decrease of miRNA expression, due to the specific impairment of the pri-to-pre-miRNA processing step. Moreover, PRMT1 activity appears to be required for the binding of some LDC subunits to pri-miRNAs. Overall, our study uncovers a previously uncharacterized role of R-methylation in the regulation of the LDC activity, thus effecting miRNA levels in mammalian cells

Quantitative proteomics analysis of Elp3 deficient bone marrow derived macrophages aggragates with or without IL-4 treatment

Project description:Alternative macrophages are critical in parasites defense, the resolution of inflammation and wound healing. RNA modifications, which are defined as post-transcriptional changes in the chemical composition of RNA molecules, are involved in the immune response.Among tRNA-modifying enzymes which target the tRNA anticodon, Elongator and Cytosolic thiouridylase (Ctu)-1/2 complexes exclusively modify the wobble uridine (U34) base in cytosolic tRNAs. However, the full picture of how mRNA translational factors maintain protein synthesis accuracy and co-translational protein folding are far from being fully understood.To address this question,we evaluated the role of Elp3 on protein in the IL4 induced alternative bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs). The BMDMs from widetype and Elp3 myeloid specific knockout mice were treated by IL-4 for 24h or not. Then the aggregates were isolated from these BMDMs and performed by MS.

Methyl-SILAF mapping of the Drosophila mitochondrial protein methylome

Project description:S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is the principal biological methyl group donor for a diverse range of substrates. It is synthesised in the cytosolic methionine cycle and shuttled throughout the cell. The mitochondrial SAM (mitoSAM) pool depends on import through the inner-membrane S-adenosylmethionine carrier (SAMC) and supports the maturation of metabolites and mitochondrial RNAs. Mutations in SAMC in patients cause a severe metabolic crisis, however, the organellar regulation of mitoSAM and the protein methylation landscape within mitochondria are largely unknown. We developed a fly-compatible SILAC labelling technique and mapped mitochondrial protein methylation sites in Drosophila melanogaster, further showing that SAM is the sole methyl group donor for these modifications, with no contribution from folate-species. This dataset comprises MS-runs used for quality control of methyl-SILAF, the methylome mapping and exclusion of folates as protein methyl-group donors.

Identification of histone modifications reveals an association of H2b monoubiquitination with gonadal transdifferentiation

Project description:Gonadal trans-differentiation from ovary to testis occurs in a same individual, suggesting a role of epigenetic regulation. However, histone modifications concerning the sex reversal process remain elusive. Here, we report a developmental atlas of histone modifications in the gonadal differentiation, including acetylation, methylation, and ubiquitination, using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We provided a detail distribution map of these modification sites including novel histone modifications along histones H2a, H2b, H3, and H4, and revealed their relationship with types of gonadal differentiation. We then determined a testis-enriched histone modification site, H2b monoubiquitination at K120, and its association with spermatogenesis. ChIP-seq demonstrated that the modification was highly enriched in the male sex-determining gene dmrt1, in particular association with its exon regions, suggesting its role in transcriptional elongation of dmrt1 in testis. Together, these data not only provide a new resource for epigenetic study in gonadal development, but also define an association of histone modifications in gonadal differentiation from ovary to testis.

Human cerebrospinal fluid autoantibody lipid microarray profiling (Fig. 2C)

Project description:Lipids comprise 70% of the myelin sheath, and autoantibodies against lipids may contribute to the demyelination that characterizes multiple sclerosis (MS). We used lipid antigen microarrays and lipid mass spectrometry to identify bona fide lipid targets of the autoimmune response in MS brain and an animal model of MS to explore the role of the identified lipids in autoimmune demyelination. We found that autoantibodies in MS target a phosphate group in phosphatidylserine and oxidized phosphatidylcholine derivatives. Administration of these lipids ameliorated experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by suppressing activation and inducing apoptosis of autoreactive T cells, effects mediated by the lipids' saturated fatty-acid side chains. Thus, phospholipids represent a natural anti-inflammatory class of compounds that have potential as novel therapeutics for MS. Fig. 2C. Mini-Array II: IgG antibody reactivity to lipids constituting polar head-group and side-chain modifications of PGPC in CSF samples from relapsing remitting MS patients and other neurological disease controls. Lipid hits with the lowest FDR (q=0.016) were clustered according to their reactivity profiles. 19 different lipids were custom-spotted in duplicate using the CAMAG Automatic TLC Sampler (ATS4) robot to spray 200 nl of 10 to 100 pmol of lipids onto PVDF membranes affixed to the surface of microscope slides. The slides were probed with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 26 human patient samples. 27 slides total: 12 relapsing-remitting MS, 13 other neurological disease, 1 healthy control (not included in this submission), and 1 secondary Ab alone (not included in this submission). CSF diluted 1/20. HRP-conjugated secondary Ab (donkey anti-human IgG) diluted 1/8000. ECL for 3 minutes.

Reducing cell intrinsic immune responses to mRNA vaccine constructs improves adaptive immune response in mice

Project description:The response to mRNA vaccines needs to be sufficient for immune cell activation and recruitment but moderate enough to ensure efficacious antigen expression. The choice of the cap structure and use of N1-methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ) instead of uridine, which have been shown to reduce RNA sensing by the cellular innate immune system, has led to improved efficacy of mRNA vaccine platforms. Understanding how RNA modifications influence the cell intrinsic immune response may help in the development of more effective mRNA vaccines. In the current study, we compared mRNA vaccines in mice against influenza virus using three different mRNA formats: uridine-containing mRNA (D1-uRNA), m1Ψ- modified mRNA (D1-modRNA), and m1Ψ-modified mRNA with a cap1 structure (cC1-modRNA). D1-uRNA vaccine induced a significantly different gene expression profile to the modified mRNA vaccines, with an upregulation of Stat1 and RnaseL, and increased systemic inflammation. This correlated with a significantly reduced antigen specific antibody responses and reduced protection against influenza virus infection compared to D1-modRNA and cC1-modRNA. Incorporation of m1Ψ alone without cap1 improved antibodies, but both modifications were required for the optimum response. Therefore, the incorporation of m1Ψ and cap1 alters protective immunity from mRNA vaccines by altering the innate immune response to the vaccine material
