Epitranscriptomic addition of m6A regulates HIV-1 RNA stability and alternative splicing

ABSTRACT: Several prior reports have demonstrated that the epitranscriptomic addition of m6A to viral transcripts promotes the replication and pathogenicity of a wide range of viruses yet the underlying mechanism(s) causing this positive effect has remained unclear. It is known that m6A function is largely mediated by cellular m6A binding proteins or readers, however, how these m6A reader proteins contribute to the regulation of HIV-1 gene expression has remained controversial. Here, we confirm that m6A indeed enhances HIV-1 gene expression. We demonstrate that this effect is collectively mediated by the cytoplasmic reader YTHDF2, which increases HIV-1 transcript stability, and the nuclear m6A reader YTHDC1, which binds HIV-1 RNA at 7 distinct m6A methylated sites, regulating viral transcript alternative splicing.

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 meRIP-Seq from Ythdf2CTL pre-leukemic cells

Project description:The mRNA m6A reader YTHDF2 is overexpressed in a broad spectrum of human acute myeloid leukemias (AML). To understand the role of YTHDF2 in AML, we generated m6A meRIP-seq libraries form Ythdf2fl/fl (Ythdf2CTL) pre-leukemic cells.

N6-methyladenosine Modulates Messenger RNA Translation Efficiency

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal messenger (mRNA) modification in mammalian mRNA. This modification is reversible and non-stoichiometric, which potentially adds an additional layer of variety and dynamic control of mRNA metabolism. The m6A-modified mRNA can be selectively recognized by the YTH family “reader” proteins. The preferential binding of m6A-containing mRNA by YTHDF2 is known to reduce the stability of the target transcripts; however, the exact effects of m6A on translation has yet to be elucidated. Here we show that another m6A reader protein, YTHDF1, promotes ribosome loading of its target transcripts. YTHDF1 forms a complex with translation initiation factors to elevate the translation efficiency of its bound mRNA. In a unified mechanism of translation control through m6A, the YTHDF2-mediated decay controls the lifetime of target transcripts; whereas, the YTHDF1-based translation promotion increases the translation efficiency to ensure effective protein production from relatively short-lived transcripts that are marked by m6A. PAR-CLIP and RIP was used to identify YTHDF1 binding sites followed by ribosome profling and RNA seq to assess the consequences of YTHDF1 siRNA knock-down

The RNA m6A reader YTHDF2 controls NK cell anti-tumor and anti-viral immunity

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent post-transcriptional modification on RNA. NK cells are the predominant innate lymphoid cells that mediate anti-viral and anti-tumor immunity. However, whether and how m6A modifications affect NK cell immunity remains unknown. Here, we discover that YTHDF2, a well-known m6A reader, is upregulated in NK cells upon activation by cytokines, tumors, and cytomegalovirus infection. Ythdf2 deficiency in NK cells impairs NK cell anti-tumor and anti-viral activity in vivo. YTHDF2 maintains NK cell homeostasis and terminal maturation, correlating with modulating NK cell trafficking and regulating Eomes, respectively. YTHDF2 promotes NK cell effector function and is required for IL-15-mediated NK cell survival and proliferation by forming a STAT5-YTHDF2 positive feedback loop. Transcriptome-wide screening identifies Tardbp to be involved in cell proliferation or survival as a YTHDF2-binding target in NK cells. Collectively, we elucidate the biological roles of m6A modifications in NK cells and highlight a new direction to harness NK cell anti-tumor immunity.

Cell cycle-dependent YTHDF2 promotes mitotic entry by repressing WEE1

Project description:The m6A modification regulates mRNA stability and translation. Here we show that transcriptomic m6A modification is dynamic and the m6A reader protein YTHDF2 promotes mRNA decay during the cell cycle. Depletion of YTHDF2 leads to the delay of mitotic entry due to overaccumulation of WEE1, a negative regulator of CDK1. We demonstrate that WEE1 transcripts contain m6A modification, which promotes their decay through the m6A reader YTHDF2. Moreover, we found that YTHDF2 protein stability is dependent on CDK1 activity. Thus, CDK1, YTHDF2, and WEE1 form a feedforward regulatory loop to promote mitotic entry. We further identified CUL1, CUL4A, DDB1, and SKP2 as components of E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes that mediate YTHDF2 proteolysis. Our study provides insights into how cell cycle mediators modulate transcriptomic m6A modification, which in turn regulates the cell cycle.

MS-based characterization of YTHDC1 interactome

Project description:Heat shock induces a cell response leading to profound changes in genome expression. Recently, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification has been implicated in this response, but with limited information of its role in the heat-induced reprograming of gene expression. Most of m6A molecular and cellular functions rely on m6A readers and the best characterized m6A readers are members of the YTH-domain-containing protein family present from yeast to humans. To investigate the function of the nuclear m6A reader YTHDC1, we characterized its binding partners.

YTHDF2 mediates the mRNA degradation in prostate cancer in m6A-dependent way

Project description:As the crucial m6A reader, YTHDF2 usually degrades the target mRNAs by recognizing the m6A modified sites, consequently altering m6A levels of each mRNA. In this study, we used m6A MeRIP sequencing to detect the m6A modification alterations in prostate cancer (PCa) cell line after knocking down YTHDF2 and identify how YTHDF2 promote the PCa progression by mediating the mRNA degradation in m6A-dependent way.
