Sequence and parent-of-origin dependent m6A contribute to allele-specific gene expression [GLORI]


ABSTRACT: Multiple regulatory layers influence allele-specific expression (ASE), particularly through sequence-dependent and parent-of-origin-dependent mechanisms at the transcriptional level. However, little is known about allele-specific gene regulation at the post-transcriptional level. Here, we conduct transcriptome-wide analysis of allele-specific m6A in mice. Using early postnatal cerebellum and cerebrum samples from reciprocal crosses of two divergent mouse strains, we employed quantitative m6A assays to measure allelic differences in m6A at single-base resolution. Our study reveals widespread sequence-dependent allelic imbalance in m6A methylation, identifying thousands of allele-specific m6A (ASm6A) sites with statistically significant and reproducible allelic methylation differences across diverse samples. We find evidence of potential cis-regulatory variants within 50-nt flanking regions of these ASm6A sites, with the highest enrichment at the motif positions. Intriguingly, we detect parental effects on allelic methylation across m6A sites exhibiting parent-of-origin-dependent ASE. For both sequence- and parent-of-origin-dependent allelic m6A methylation, we observe opposing allelic preferences between methylation and expression, suggesting a potential role of ASm6A in regulating ASE through negative effects on gene expression. Overall, our findings reveal that both cis-acting and parent-of-origin effects influence ASm6A, offering new insights into post-transcriptional mechanisms of ASE regulation.
