M6A is decoded by modified tRNAs to coordinate mRNA decay [ribosome profiling]

ABSTRACT: In eukaryotes, the genetic code is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus and decoded by transfer RNA (tRNA) in the cytosol. Nuclear mRNA processing events that do not affect the nucleotide sequence of an mRNA are thought to be invisible to tRNAs during protein translation in the cytosol. Here, we report a mechanism by which the modified mRNA nucleotide N6‑methyladenosine (m6A) connects nuclear mRNA processing to tRNA decoding. m6A is deposited in the protein coding sequence (CDS) of mRNAs with long exons, where it slows the decoding of a subset of m6A-modified codons in vivo. Translation of codons with m6A at the wobble position is facilitated by 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine (mcm5s2U), a modified nucleotide of the tRNA anticodon loop that juxtaposes the wobble-m6A. This unanticipated link between the mRNA and tRNA epitranscriptomes controls mRNA half-life in a translation-dependent manner and connects the exon-intron architecture of mRNAs to their turnover. The pathways for m6A and mcm5s2U biogenesis are tightly co-regulated in human tissues but deregulated in cancer cells. In breast cancer, a shift towards more mcm5s2U is associated with tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Thus, the m6A/mcm5s2U-balance has evolved as a pan-epitranscriptomic mechanism that coordinates gene expression changes and curtails tumorigenesis.

m6A is decoded by modified tRNAs to coordinate mRNA decay [Quant-seq]

Project description:Chemically modified mRNA nucleotides are emerging as key regulators of gene expression. Their effects are typically thought to be mediated through reader proteins that selectively bind to RNA molecules containing these modifications. Here, we present a new mechanism by which N6 methyladenosine (m6A) couples the translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) to its decay. m6A-modified codons are decoded inefficiently by the ribosome, rendering them “non-optimal”. At these codons, m6A slows down elongating ribosomes and thereby triggers translation-dependent decay of the mRNA. Inefficient decoding of m6A-modified codons is counteracted by the transfer RNA (tRNA) anticodon modification 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine (mcm5s2U). mcm5s2U increases the decoding efficiency of a subset of m6A codons and thereby alleviates m6A-mediated mRNA decay. This unanticipated link between the mRNA and tRNA epitranscriptomes controls the decay of mRNAs of important oncogenic signaling pathways. The biogenesis of m6A and mcm5s2U is coordinated in normal tissues but dysregulated in cancer, where a shift towards more mcm5s2U stabilizes these RNAs and is associated with higher tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Thus, the balance between m6A and mcm5s2U acts as a pan-epitranscriptomic mechanism that regulates gene expression and curtails tumorigenesis.

TCR alpha sequencing of CD4+ Tcells infiltrating melanoma B16 control or depleted of Elp3

Project description:The tRNA epitranscriptome is composed of a wide variety of base modifications in tRNAs and is emerging as a potential key vulnerability of cancer. Wobble tRNA modifications are required for specific codon decoding during translation and maintenance of protein homeostasis and support cancer metastasis and resistance to therapy. Here we show that ablation of enzymes catalyzing wobble uridine (U34) tRNA modification (U34 enzymes) remodels the MHC-II-associated antigen repertoire of melanoma by perturbing codon-specific mRNA translation. This perturbation in translation triggers the formation of aggregates that are subsequently degraded through the autophagy-lysosomal pathway and presented on MHC-II. The remodeled MHC-II repertoire in turn induces a CD4+ effector T cell-mediated anti-tumor response displaying specific clonal selection and immunodominance in melanoma. Our results identify a novel, potentially tractable, vulnerability of melanoma, in which codon-specific mRNA translation through wobble uridine tRNA modification, optimizes proteome homeostasis, prevents excessive antigen presentation, and limits T cell activity in melanoma.

Optimization of codon translation rates via tRNA modifications maintains proteome integrity

Project description:Proteins begin to fold as they emerge from translating ribosomes. The kinetics of ribosome transit along a given mRNA can influence nascent chain folding, but the extent to which individual codon translation rates impact proteome integrity remains unknown. Here, we show that slower decoding of discrete codons elicits widespread protein aggregation in vivo. Using ribosome profiling, we find that loss of anticodon wobble uridine (U34) modifications in a subset of tRNAs leads to ribosome pausing at their cognate codons in S. cerevisiae and C. elegans. Yeast cells lacking U34 modifications exhibit gene expression hallmarks of proteotoxic stress and accumulate aggregates of endogenous proteins with key cellular functions. Moreover, these cells are severely compromised in clearing stress-induced protein aggregates. Overexpression of hypomodified tRNAs alleviates ribosome pausing, concomitantly restoring protein homeostasis. Our findings demonstrate that modified U34 is an evolutionarily conserved accelerator of decoding and reveal an unanticipated role for tRNA anticodon modifications in maintaining proteome integrity. Ribosome profiling of wild-type and tRNA modification-deficient yeast and nematodes. Yeast samples were generated in various growth conditions (rich medium versus stress induced by treatment with diamide or rapamycin) and paired mRNA-Seq was performed on a subset of samples. Dataset contains three biological replicates for yeast samples and two biological replicates for nematode samples.

Ribosome footprinting of wild-type Col-0 and rlmnl3 mutant

Project description:In the present study, we discover the presence of m2A in chloroplast rRNA and tRNA, as well as cytosolic tRNA, in multiple plant species. We identify six m2A-modified chloroplast tRNAs and two m2A-modified cytosolic tRNAs across different plants. Furthermore, we characterize three Arabidopsis m2A methyltransferases—RLMNL1, RLMNL2, and RLMNL3—which methylate chloroplast rRNA, chloroplast tRNA, and cytosolic tRNA, respectively. Our findings demonstrate that m2A37 promotes a relaxed conformation of tRNA, enhancing translation efficiency in chloroplast and cytosol by facilitating decoding of tandem m2A-tRNA-dependent codons. This study provides insights into the molecular function and biological significance of m2A, uncovering a layer of translation regulation in plants.

Single-nucleotide resolution mapping of m6A and m6Am throughout the transcriptome

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant modified base in eukaryotic mRNA and has been linked to diverse effects on mRNA fate and function. Current m6A mapping approaches rely on immunoprecipitation of m6A-containing RNA fragments to identify regions of transcripts that contain m6A. This approach localizes m6A residues to 100-200 nt-long regions of transcripts. The precise position of m6A in mRNAs cannot be identified on a transcriptome-wide level because there are no chemical methods to distinguish between m6A and adenosine. Here we show that anti-m6A antibodies can induce specific mutational signatures at m6A residues after ultraviolet light-induced antibody-RNA crosslinking and reverse transcription. Similarly, we find these antibodies induce mutational signatures at N6, 2’-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am), a nucleotide found at the first encoded position of certain mRNAs. Using these mutational signatures, we map m6A and m6Am at single-nucleotide resolution in human and mouse mRNA and identify snoRNAs as a novel class of m6A-containing ncRNAs. UV-crosslinking and immunoprecipitation with m6A-specific antibodies was used to map m6A and m6Am in cellular RNA with single nucleotide resolution.

Dynamic O-GlcNAcylation of YTHDF proteins controls translation of m6A-modified mRNA

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal mRNA nucleotide modification in mammals, regulating critical aspects of cell physiology and differentiation. The YTHDF proteins are the primary readers of m6A modifications and exert physiological functions of m6A in the cytosol. Elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of YTHDF proteins is critical to understanding m6A biology. Here, we report a mechanism that protein post-translational modifications control the biological functions of the YTHDF proteins. We find that YTHDF1 and YTHDF3, but not YTHDF2, carry high levels of nutrient-sensing O-GlcNAc modifications. O-GlcNAc modification attenuates the translation promoting function of YTHDF1 and YTHDF3 by blocking their interactions with proteins associated with mRNA translation. We further demonstrate that O-GlcNAc modifications on YTHDF1 and YTHDF2 regulate the assembly, stability, and disassembly of stress granule, facilitating rapid exchange of m6A-modified mRNAs in stress granules for recovery from stress. Therefore, our results discover an important regulatory pathway of YTHDF functions, adding an additional layer of complexity to the post-transcriptional regulation function of mRNA m6A.
