The RNA m6A reader YTHDC1 silences retrotransposons and guards ES cell identity

ABSTRACT: The RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has critical roles in many biological processes. However, the function of m6A in the early phase of mammalian development remains poorly understood. Here we show that the m6A reader YT521-B homology-domain-containing protein 1 (YTHDC1) is required for the maintenance of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells in an m6A-dependent manner, and that its deletion initiates cellular reprogramming to a 2C-like state. Mechanistically, YTHDC1 binds to the transcripts of retrotransposons (such as intracisternal A particles, ERVK and LINE1) in mouse ES cells and its depletion results in the reactivation of these silenced retrotransposons, accompanied by a global decrease in SETDB1-mediated trimethylation at lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3K9me3). We further demonstrate that YTHDC1 and its target m6A RNAs act upstream of SETDB1 to repress retrotransposons and Dux, the master inducer of the two-cell stage (2C)-like program. This study reveals an essential role for m6A RNA and YTHDC1 in chromatin modification and retrotransposon repression. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

N6-methyladenosine-Mediated Nuclear Export of Messenger RNA

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common internal modification in eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA). The effects of this reversible cheimcal modification are mediated in part by methyl-specific RNA binding protein 'readers' of the YTH family. In this study we present the function of YTHDC1 (YT521) in promoting the export of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Additionally, we identify a role for YTHDC1 in exon retention in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs).

Structural basis of YTH domain as m6A reader

Project description:The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in almost all eukaryotic messenger RNAs, and is dynamically regulated. Therefore, identification of m6A readers is especially important in determining the cellular function of m6A. YTHDF2 has recently been characterized as the first m6A reader that regulates the cytoplasmic stability of methylated RNA. Here we show that YTHDC1 is a nuclear m6A reader and report the crystal structure of the YTH domain of YTHDC1 bound to m6A-containing RNA. We further determined the structure of another YTH domain, YTHDF1, and found that the YTH domain utilizes a conserved aromatic cage to specifically recognize the methyl group of m6A. Our structural characterizations of the YTHDC1-m6A RNA complex also shed light on the molecular basis for the preferential binding of the GG(m6A)C sequence by YTHDC1 and confirm the YTH domain as a specific m6A RNA reader. PAR-CLIP (Photoactivatable-Ribonucleoside-Enhanced Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation) was applied to human YTHDC1 protein to identify its binding sites.

m6A RNA methylation promotes XIST-mediated transcriptional repression

Project description:XIST is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that mediates transcriptional silencing of X chromosome genes. Here we show that XIST is highly methylated with at least 78 N6-methyladenosine (m6A) residues, a reversible base modification whose function in lncRNAs is unknown. We show that m6A formation in XIST, as well as cellular mRNAs, is mediated by RBM15 and its paralog RBM15B, which bind the m6A-methylation complex and recruit it to specific sites in RNA. This results in methylation of adenosines in adjacent m6A consensus motifs. Furthermore, knockdown of RBM15 and RBM15B, or knockdown of the m6A methyltransferase METTL3 impairs XIST-mediated gene silencing. A systematic comparison of m6A-binding proteins shows that YTHDC1 preferentially recognizes m6A in XIST and is required for XIST function. Additionally, artificial tethering of YTHDC1 to XIST rescues XIST-mediated silencing upon loss of m6A. These data reveal a pathway of m6A formation and recognition required for XIST-mediated transcriptional repression. Three to four biological HEK293T replicates were used to perform iCLIP of endogenous YTH proteins, RBM15, and RBM15B. Crosslinking induced truncations were identified using CIMS-CITS pipeline.

High throughput sequncing for YTHDC1 binding RNAs [4sUDRB-seq]

Project description:N6-methyladenoisne (m6A) plays critical roles in many biological processes. However, the function of m6A at the early phase of mammalian development remains poorly understood. Here we show that m6A reader Ythdc1 is required for the proliferation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) in an m6A-dependent manner and its deletion resets mESCs back to a 2C-like state.

Depletion of m6A reader protein YTHDC1 induces dilated cardiomyopathy by abnormal splicing of Titin

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common internal modification in eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and plays essential roles in mammals. The function of this chemical modification is deciphered by m6A-specific binding proteins of the YTH family. Recent studies indicated that m6A methyltransferase METTL3 ('writer') and demethylase FTO ('eraser') play critical roles in cardiovascular diseases. However, function of m6A 'reader' proteins in the heart is still largely unknown. Here, we report that cardiac-speciﬁc ablation of Ythdc1 in postnatal heart exhibits progressive dilated cardiomyopathy, heart failure and dramatically increases the incidence of postnatal lethality. Mechanically, the transcript of Titin-the major DCM and heart failure related gene-is decorated by m6A modification and directly recognized by YTHDC1, deficiency of Ythdc1 in heart results in abnormal splicing of TTN and disarray of sarcomeric structures in the cardiomyocytes subsequently. Collectively, we demonstrated that YTHDC1-dependent TTN splicing is crucial for the postnatal heart development and cardiac function, which probably provides a potential target for treating DCM through tuning m6A modification of TTN mRNA.
