5-methylcytosine modification and the ALYREF reader protein promote retrovirus replication

ABSTRACT: The 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification is present at appreciable amounts in the mammalian transcriptome, but its precise location and function is still poorly understood. Here, we identify high m5C levels and map their locations in a model retrovirus, the murine leukemia virus, and show that the ALYREF m5C reader protein regulates viral replication. Our results reveal a single-nucleotide m5C profile in a virus and its function in a eukaryotic mRNA.

ORGANISM(S): Murine leukemia virus Mus musculus

Identification of putative reader proteins of RNA 5-methylcytosine and its derivatives in Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:Methylation of carbon-5 of cytosines (m5C) is a conserved post-transcriptional nucleotide modification of RNA with widespread distribution across organisms. m5C has been shown to participate in mRNA transport and maintain mRNA stability through its recognition by the reader proteins ALYREF and YBX1, respectively. We recently showed that m5C is required for Caenorhabditis elegans development and fertility under heat stress. To contribute to the understanding of how m5C and its oxidative derivatives mediate their functions, we developed RNA baits bearing modified cytosines in diverse structural contexts to pulldown potential readers in C. elegans. Our mass spectrometry analyses reveal unique binding proteins for each of the modifications. We validate our dataset by demonstrating that the nematode ALYREF homologues ALY-1 and ALY-2 preferentially bind m5C in vitro. The dataset presented here serves as an important scientific resource that will support the discovery of new functions of m5C and its derivatives.

ALYREF Mediates RNA m5C Modification to Promote Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression

Project description:The RNA methyltransferase Aly/REF export factor (ALYREF) is considered one type of “reader” protein located in the nucleus that recognizes and binds directly with m5C sites in RNA and facilitates the export of RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Notably, ALYREF is considered a promising target for diagnosis and prognosis prediction. However, until now, the low number of related studies has limited the understanding of the mechanism of the HCC-promoting effects of ALYREF. To further elucidate the oncogenic roles of ALYREF in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we assessed the expression levels of ALYREF in clinical samples and HCC cell lines and explored the effects of ALYREF deficiency by both in vitro experiments and m5C-methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (m5C-MeRIP-Seq)

NSUN2-mediated 5-methylcytosine enhances purine metabolism through ALYREF in retinoblastoma

Project description:5-methylcytosine (m5C) RNA modification installed by methyltransferase NSUN2 regulates gene expression and cell fate. Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common primary intraocular tumor in children. However, the functional role of m5C modification in retinoblastoma remains unclear. Here, we show that 5-methylcytosine significantly promotes the progression of retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma samples showed increased m5C levels, indicating a poor prognosis. Changes in global m5C modification were highly associated with tumor progression in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, NSUN2 stabilized the methylated PFAS mRNA, a tumor promoter in retinoblastoma. Our work uncovers a critical function for m5C methylation in retinoblastoma and provides additional insight into the understanding of m5C modification.

RNA-seq analysis of Alyref and Gabpb1 knockout embryos

Project description:We have identified Alyref and Gabpb1 as developmentally important genes by siRNA screening. Gene knockout (KO) of Alyref and Gabpb1 by the CRISPR/Cas9 system resulted in early developmental arrest in mice. To gain mechanistic insight into the developmental role of Alyref and Gabpb1, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of the KO embryos.

SRSF2 plays an unexpected role as reader of m5C on mRNA, linking epitranscriptomics to cancer

Project description:A common mRNA modification is 5-methylcytosine (m5C), whose role in gene-transcript processing and cancer remains unclear. Here we identify Serine/arginine-Rich Splicing Factor 2 (SRSF2) as a reader of m5C, and impaired SRSF2 m5C binding as a potential contributor to leukemogenesis. Structurally, we identify residues involved in m5C recognition and in the impact of the prevalent leukemia-associated mutation SRSF2P95H. We show that SRSF2 binding and m5C colocalize within transcripts. Furthermore, knocking down the m5C writer NSUN2 decreases mRNA m5C, reduces SRSF2 binding, and alters RNA splicing. We also show that the SRSF2P95H mutation impairs the ability of the protein to read m5C-marked mRNA, notably reducing its binding to key leukemia-related transcripts in leukemic cells. In leukemia patients, low NSUN2 expression leads to mRNA m5C hypomethylation and, combined with SRSF2P95H, predicts poor outcomes. Altogether, we highlight an unrecognized mechanistic link between epitranscriptomics and a key oncogenesis driver.

Global RNA-binding profile of the mRNA export adaptor ALYREF

Project description:The TREX complex (TREX) plays key roles in nuclear export of mRNAs. However, little is known about its transcriptome-wide binding targets. We used individual cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (iCLIP) to identify the binding sites of ALYREF, an mRNA export adaptor in TREX, in human cells. As expected, iCLIP reads are mainly mapped to exons of mRNAs. Globally, ALYREF binding shows two apparent enrichments on the mRNA, one is near the 5’ end and the other is very close to the 3’ end. In addition, numerous middle exons harbor ALYREF binding sites. CBP80 and PABPN1 mainly affect ALYREF binding at the 5’ and the 3’ region, respectively. Interestingly, we found that the 3’ processing factor CstF64 directly interacts with ALYREF and is required for the overall binding of ALYREF on the mRNA. Sequence analysis led to the identification of multiple
