Transcriptomic Analysis of the m6A Reader YTHDF2 in the Maintenance and Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: As the most abundant internal modification on mRNAs, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been discovered to be involved in different biological processes. Mostly determined by m6A methyl-transferases (m6A writers) and demethylases (m6A erasers), different cell types possess differential m6A profiles of transcriptomes. However, the interpretation of the m6A-encoded epitranscriptomic information needs m6A readers to bind and recruit different machinery for regulating the target mRNAs, which in turn, may regulate cell fates. The functions of the m6A readers in the regulation of the maintenance and differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) remain largely unknown. In this study, we deleted the whole genomic region of the m6A reader YTHDF2, and discovered that YTHDF2 is dispensible for the maintenance, but probably important for the differention of hESCs, especially for the differentiation towares ectoderm. Furthermore, we identified ROBO1 as a potential target gene by DF2 in regulating hESC to neuroectoderm differentiation. This study reveals the potential roles of the m6A reader DF2 in regulating the specification of neuroectodermal cell fate.

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.

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

Project description: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.

The long non-coding RNA DAGAR is regulated by m6A modification and both pathways are important for smooth muscle cell plasticity

Project description:Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) change between a contractile-differentiated and a proliferative-dedifferentiated phenotype in response to environmental cues. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification regulate cell fate decision. Here we used primary human pulmonary artery SMCs (hPASMCs) and assessed the expression of lncRNAs during SMCs phenotypic modulation. A lncRNA, which we refer to as Differentiation And Growth Arrest-related lncRNA (DAGAR) was increased during differentiation and we demonstrate that it is required for this process. DAGAR was m6A-modified and regulated by the m6A reader YTHDF2 in SMCs and MRC5 cells. A marked downregulation of YTHDF1-3 proteins during both SMC differentiation and MRC5 quiescence was found, consistent with the increase of DAGAR. Remarkably, YTHDF2 immunoprecipitation followed by RNA deep sequencing (RIP-Seq) displayed an enrichment of key SMC-associated transcripts, including smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (MYH11) and members of the TGF, PDGF and VEGF pathways. Knockdown of YTHDF2 induced DAGAR and SMC marker gene expression. We conclude that the lncRNA DAGAR and YTHDF2 contribute to the regulation of SMC plasticity and differentiation programs.

Viral and Cellular N6-methyladenosine (m6A) Epitranscriptomes in KSHV Life Cycle

Project description:Tan et al. discovered abundant conserved N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications on KSHV transcripts during latent and productive infection in different cell types. They also show that m6A readers YTHDF2 and YTHDF3 mediate KSHV replication, and KSHV optimizes both phases of viral replication by reprograming cellular epitranscriptome to regulate distinct signaling pathways.

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

MOV10 facilitates messenger RNA decay in an N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-dependent manner to maintain the mouse embryonic stem cells state

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most predominant internal mRNA modification in eukaryotes, recognised by its reader proteins (so-called m6A-readers) for regulating subsequent mRNA fates – splicing, export, localization, decay, stability and translation – to control several biological processes. Although a few m6A-readers have been identified, yet the list is incomplete. Here, we identify a new m6A-reader protein, MOV10, in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). MOV10 recognises m6A-containing mRNAs with a conserved GGm6ACU motif. Mechanistic studies uncover that MOV10 bound m6A-containing mRNAs facilitate mRNA decay within the cytoplasmic processing bodies (P-bodies) in an m6A-dependent manner. Moreover, MOV10 decays the Gsk-3ß mRNA through m6A that stabilises the ß-CATENIN expression of a Wnt/ß-catenin signalling pathway to regulate downstream target expression of NANOG for maintaining the mESC state. Thus, our findings reveal how a newly identified m6A-reader, MOV10 mediates mRNA decay via m6A that impact ESC biology.
