METTL3-mediated chromatin contacts promote phase separation during senescence [H3K27Ac-HiChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Cellular senescence is a stable state of growth arrest that emerges as a response to stress. The methyltransferase complex (MTC) has been shown to facilitate the expression of the senescence-associated secretion phenotype (SASP) factors via genome-wide redistribution. However, whether and how MTC impacts on the three-dimensional (3D) chromatin organization and its functional implications during senescence remain largely unknown. Here we show that the MTC complex coordinates its enzymatic activity-dependent and -independent functions to enforce cellular senescence. Specifically, METTL3-mediated chromatin loops induce Hexokinase 2 (HK2) expression during senescence. The elevated HK2 expression subsequently promotes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), manifesting as stress granules. These phase-separated stress granules act as reservoirs to sequester cell-cycle related mRNAs harboring polymethylated m6A sites, impeding their efficient translation. Overall, we uncover a mechanism by which senescent cells utilize phase-separated stress granules, facilitated by MTC-mediated HK2 activation, to sequester cell-cycle related mRNAs in governing senescence-associated stable growth arrest.

RNA-seq and ribosome profiling of heat shocked wild type and Mettl14 -/- mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a dynamic and reversible nucleotide modification in mRNA. m6A alters mRNA fate, but it is unclear why the effects of m6A can vary in different cellular contexts. Here we show that methylated mRNAs are catalysts for liquid-liquid phase separation of the YTHDF family of m6A-binding proteins. RNAs that contain multiple, but not single, m6A residues recruit multiple YTHDF proteins, causing them to undergo a proximity-induced phase separation. YTHDF proteins show liquid-like properties upon binding polymethylated mRNAs in cells, and partition into endogenous phase-separated compartments, such as P-bodies, neuronal RNA granules, and stress granules. The complexes of YTHDF proteins and polymethylated mRNAs are targeted to different compartments depending on the cell context, leading to different effects on m6A mRNAs. These studies reveal a role for nucleotide modifications in regulating phase separation and indicate that the cellular properties of m6A-modified mRNAs can be explained by liquid-liquid phase separation principles.

Ribosome profiling on heat shocked wild type and Mettl14 -/- mES cells

Project description:Abstract : "A hallmark of the cellular response to environmental stress is the formation of stress granules. Stress granules are RNA-protein assemblies that provide an adaptive response to stress; however, the basis for their formation and how they contribute to the stress response remains incompletely understood. Here we show that the mRNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a mark that targets mRNAs to stress granules. We find that m6A mRNAs are highly enriched in stress granules, and this is mediated by m6A-induced liquid-liquid phase separation of the YTHDF family of m6A-binding proteins. These proteins bind poly-methylated m6A mRNAs, causing them to form liquid droplets that partition into stress granules. Moreover, disrupting either m6A or YTHDF proteins prevents stress granule formation." The goal of this experiment is to understand how recruitment of m6A mRNA to stress granules influences the translational response to heat shock. Result: we found that m6A-containing mRNA are preferentially repressed during stress, and that m6A is required for translational recovery after heat shock

Heat shock chaperone HSPB1 regulates cytoplasmic TDP-43 phase separation and liquid-to-gel transition

Project description:While acetylated, RNA binding deficient TDP-43 reversibly phase separates within nuclei into complex droplets (anisosomes) comprised of TDP-43-containing liquid outer shells and liquid centers of HSP70 family chaperones, cytoplasmic aggregates of TDP-43 are hallmarks of multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS. Here we show that transient oxidative stress, proteasome inhibition, or inhibition of HSP70’s ATP-dependent chaperone activity provokes reversible cytoplasmic TDP-43 de-mixing and transition from liquid to gel/solid, independent of RNA binding or stress granules. Proxmity labeling coupled with quantitative mass spectrometry is used to identify that phase separated cytoplasmic TDP-43 is bound by the small heat shock protein HSPB1.

Identification of the stress granule transcriptome via RNA-editing in bulk S2 cells, single S2 cells and in Drosophila neurons

Project description:Stress granules are phase separated assemblies formed around mRNAs that have now been identified after stress granule purification from cell culture. Here, we present a purification free method to detect stress granules RNAs in single cells and in tissues, including those displaying cell heterogeneity. We adapted TRIBE (Target of RNA-binding proteins Identified by Editing) to detect stress-granule RNAs by fusing a stress-granule RNA-binding protein (FMR1) to the catalytic domain of an RNA-editing enzyme (ADAR). RNAs colocalized with this fusion are edited, producing mutations that are detectable by sequencing. We then show that this “in situ" method can reliably identify stress granule RNAs in single S2 cells and in Drosophila neurons, and that they encode cell cycle, transcription and splicing factors. The identification of stress granule RNAs without perturbation opens the possibility to examine cell-to-cell variability and identify the RNA content not only in stress granules, but also in other RNA based assemblies in single cells derived from tissues.

Oxylipin biosynthesis reinforces cellular senescence through a RAS/p53 feedback loop and allows detection of senolysis

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stress or damage response that causes a permanent proliferative arrest and secretion of numerous factors with potent biological activities. This senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) has been characterized largely for secreted proteins that participate in embryogenesis, wound healing, inflammation and many age-related pathologies. By contrast, lipid components of the SASP are understudied. We show that senescent cells activate the biosynthesis of several oxylipins that promote segments of the SASP and reinforce the proliferative arrest. Notably, senescent cells synthesize and accumulate an unstudied intracellular prostaglandin, 1a,1b-dihomo-15-deoxy-delta-12,14-prostaglandin J2. Released 15-deoxy-delta-12,14-prostaglandin J2 is a biomarker of senolysis in culture and in vivo. This and other prostaglandin D2-related lipids promote the senescence arrest and SASP by activating RAS signaling. These data identify an important aspect of cellular senescence and a method to detect senolysis

RNA self-assembly contributes to stress granule formation and defining the stress granule transcriptome

Project description:Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules are non-membrane bound organelles thought to assemble by protein-protein interactions of RNA-binding proteins. We present evidence that a wide variety of RNAs self-assemble in vitro into either liquid-liquid phase separations or more stable assembles, referred to as RNA tangles. Self-assembly in vitro is affected by RNA length, ionic conditions, and sequence. Remarkably, self-assembly of yeast RNA in vitro under physiological salt mimics the composition of mRNAs within yeast stress granules. This suggests that the biophysical principles that drive RNA self-assembly in vitro contribute to determining the stress granule transcriptome. Consistent with RNA self-assembly contributing to RNP granule formation, an excess of purified RNA injected into C. elegans syncytium coalesces into droplet-like assemblies. We suggest that diverse RNA-RNA interactions in trans contribute to RNP granule formation and may explain the prevalence of large RNA-protein assemblies in eukaryotic cells.
