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

Project description:Although internal PolyA RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays essential roles in diverse biological processes, technology to detect precise m6A sites at transcriptome-wide scale is lacking. Here, we discovered that m6A interferes A (Adenine) – U (Uracil) or A-T (Thymidine) pairing. Based on differential hybridization between methylated vs. unmethylated RNAs to a DNA probe, we developed tiling microarray to pinpoint m6A sites in mouse transcriptome. We validated some of the identified sites and provided evidence to suggest that one functional mechanism of m6A is to block small RNA targeting to methylated mRNA. We designed a custom tiling array with to examine the precise location of m6A within meRIP-seq peaks from mouse embryonic stem cells determined in our previous publication (Wang et al., 2014). Each custom two-channel Agilent tiling array harbors 947,952 probes. Each probe is 25 nucleotides (nt), and any two adjacent probes in the genomic coordinate overlap each other by 19 nt. The Cy5 or red channel corresponds to Mettl14 knockout (M14) or DZA mutant mESC cell line, and Cy3 or green channel is associated with wild type cell line treated with scramble hairpin (SCR). Thus, in principle a higher Cy5/Cy3 signal for each probe reflects an increased hybridization to the oligonucleotide due to de-methylation of a particular RNA molecule in M14 or DZA condition relative to the SCR control. Moreover, we employed additional arrays with both channels dedicated for M14 as an external control for technical difference between the Cy5 and Cy3 dye (details below). For each comparison, we have three biological replicates, and therefore there are 9 tiling arrays in total (i.e., 3 arrays for M14 vs SCR, 3 arrays for DZA vs SCR, and 3 arrays for M14 vs M14).

Project description:The RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is a critical regulator of various biological processes, but precise and dynamic control of m6A remains a challenge. In this work, we present a red/far-red light-inducible m6A editing system that enables efficient and reversible modulation of m6A levels with minimal off-target effects. By engineering the CRISPR dCas13 protein and sgRNA with two pairs of light-inducible heterodimerizing proteins, ΔphyA/FHY1 and Bphp1/PspR2, we achieved targeted recruitment of m6A effectors. This system significantly enhances m6A writing efficiency, and allows dynamic regulation of m6A deposition and removal on specific transcripts, such as SOX2 and ACTB. Notably, reversible m6A editing was achieved through cyclic modulation at a single target site, demonstrating the ability to influence mRNA expression and modulate the differentiation state of human embryonic stem cells. This optogenetic platform offers a precise, versatile tool for cyclic and reversible m6A regulation, with broad implications for understanding RNA biology and its potential applications in research and medicine.

Project description:m6A is the most abundant modification of mRNA in mammals and plays an important role in human development and disease. METTL14 is a key component of m6A methyltransferase complex. The project showed that its post-translational arginine methylation can regulate the generation of m6A and the endoderm differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells, indicating its essential function in the normal development of embryos.

Project description:We show that N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal modification in mRNA/lncRNA with still poorly characterized function, alters RNA structure to facilitate the access of RBM for heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (hnRNP C). We term this mechanism m6A-switch. Through combining PAR-CLIP with Me-RIP, we identify 39,060 m6A-switches among hnRNP C binding sites transcriptome-wide. We show that m6A-methyltransferases METTL3 or METTL14 knockdown decreases hnRNP C binding at 16,582 m6A-switches. Taken together, 2,798 m6A-switches of high confidence are identified to mediate RNA-hnRNP C interactions and affect diverse biological processes including cell cycle regulation. These findings reveal the biological importance of m6A and provide insights into the sophisticated regulation of RNA-RBP interactions through m6A-induced RNA structural remodeling. Measure the m6A methylated hnRNP C binding sites transcriptome-wide by PARCLIP-MeRIP; measure the differential hnRNP C occupancies upon METTL3/METTL14 knockdown by PAR-CLIP; measure RNA abundance and splicing level changes upon HNRNPC, METTL3 and METTL14 knockdown

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant chemical modification in mRNA, and plays important roles in human embryonic stem cell pluripotency, maintenance, and differentiation. However, the role of m6A and the precise mechanisms involved during the development of β-cells are unexplored. Here, we differentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into pancreatic β-like cells and performed RNA-Seq and m6A-seq at different stages of in vitro β-like cell differentiation.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in the messenger RNA (mRNA) of all higher eukaryotes. This modification has been shown to be reversible in mammals; it is installed by a methyltransferase heterodimer complex of METTL3 and METTL14 bound with WTAP, and reversed by iron(II)- and α-ketoglutarate-dependent demethylases FTO and ALKBH5. This modification exhibits significant functional roles in various biological processes. The m6A modification as a RNA mark is recognized by reader proteins, such as YTH domain family proteins and HNRNPA2B1; m6A can also act as a structure switch to affect RNA-protein interactions for biological regulation. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the methyltransferase subunit MTA (the plant orthologue of human METTL3, encoded by At4g10760) was well characterized and FIP37 (the plant orthologue of human WTAP) was first identified as the interacting partner of MTA. Here we report the discovery and characterization of reversible m6A methylation mediated by AtALKBH10B (encoded by At4g02940) in A. thaliana, and noticeable roles of this RNA demethylase in affecting plant development and floral transition. Our findings reveal potential broad functions of reversible mRNA methylation in plants. m6A peaks were identified from wild type Columbia-0 and atalkbh10b-1 mutant in two biological replicates

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays a central role in both RNA and tumor biology. Yet comprehensive m6A epitranscriptome profiling of primary tumors remains uncharted. To fill this gap, we profiled the m6A epitranscriptome of 10 non-neoplastic lung (NL) tissues and 51 lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tumors, integrating them with corresponding transcriptome, proteome and extensive clinical annotation. A total of 8,030 genes are marked with m6A modification, with variable abundances across tumors. Distinct clusters and genes were found to be linked exclusively to disease progression through m6A, rather than mRNA or protein levels. In comparison with NL tissues, 430 transcripts were hypo-methylated in tumors, and 222 were hyper-methylated. Fully 69% of these had no influence on RNA abundances. Amongst these genes, EML4 emerged as a novel metastatic driver, displaying significant hyper-methylation in tumors. m6A modification promoted EML4 translation and led to widespread EML4 overexpression in primary tumors. Functionally, EML4 modulated cytoskeleton dynamics and cell morphology, triggering cellular protrusions and enhancing cellular motility, local invasion, and metastasis. Clinically, high EML4 protein abundance correlated with features of metastasis. A METTL3 small molecule inhibitor markedly diminished both EML4 m6A and protein abundance, and efficiently suppressed lung metastases in vivo. Our findings unveil a dynamic and functional epitranscriptomic landscape in lung adenocarcinoma, pinpointing the hyper-methylation of EML4 as a key driver of tumor metastasis.
