Ectopic expression of the transcriptional regulator and m6A writer complex member HIZ1 impacts development

ABSTRACT: The Arabidopsis protein, HAKAI-interacting zinc finger protein 1 (HIZ1), is suggested as both a transcriptional regulator, and a component of the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) writer complex that methylates certain adenosines within mRNA. Unlike other components of this complex, HIZ1 is not expressed constitutively throughout the plant, is not required for m6A deposition, and when ectopically overexpressed results in reduced levels of m6A. However, the biological functions of HIZ1 remain unclear. Here, we generated additional HIZ1 constitutive overexpression (HIZ1 OX) lines and selected eight lines, showing varying levels of expression. These plants exhibit pleiotropic developmental defects, the severity of which correlates to expression level. However, higher levels of HIZ1 overexpression did not reduce m6A levels beyond a 25% decrease, consistent with the complete titration of methylase complex interacting partner(s). Using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing, we show that HIZ1 is predominantly associated with predicted gene promoter regions and is significantly enriched on genes whose transcripts are m6A modified. Our results suggest that constitutive overexpression of HIZ1 promotes vegetative growth and also disrupts reproductive growth in Arabidopsis. This likely occurs both through m6A inhibition and transcriptional regulations. Thus, HIZ1 may function in an analogous fashion to mouse zinc finger protein 217 (ZFP217, human homolog ZNF217), which acts as both a transcriptional regulator and a suppressor of the m6A methylation complex.

Two novel proteins with opposing m6A writing functions interact with HAKAI [meRIP-seq]

Project description:Using in vivo interaction proteomics, two HAKAI-interacting zinc finger proteins, HIZ1 and HIZ2, were discovered as novel components of the Arabidopsis m6A writer complex. HAKAI is required for the interaction between HIZ1 and MTA. Whilst HIZ1 knockout plants have normal levels of m6A, plants in which it is overexpressed show reduced methylation. In addition, HIZ1 was found to be involved in root hair development upon auxin transport inhibition in a HAKAI-dependent manner. Mutant plants lacking HIZ2 are viable but have an 85% reduction in m6A abundance and show severe developmental defects. Our findings suggest that HIZ1 appears to be a HAKAI-dependent negative regulator of m6A deposition and HIZ2 is a novel and essential member of the Arabidopsis m6A writer complex.

Two zinc finger proteins with functions in m6A writing interact with HAKAI

Project description:The methyltransferase complex (m6A writer), which catalyzes the deposition of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in mRNAs, is highly conserved across most eukaryotic organisms, but its components and interactions between them are still far from fully understood. Using in vivo interaction proteomics, two HAKAI-interacting zinc finger proteins, HIZ1 and HIZ2, were discovered as novel components of the Arabidopsis m6A writer complex. HAKAI is required for the interaction between HIZ1 and MTA. Whilst HIZ1 knockout plants have normal levels of m6A, plants in which it is overexpressed show reduced methylation. In addition, HIZ1 was found to be involved in root hair development upon auxin transport inhibition in a HAKAI-dependent manner. Mutant plants lacking HIZ2 are viable but have an 85% reduction in m6A abundance and show severe developmental defects.

A novel RNA m6A modulator Zc3h13 plays an anchor role in facilitating nuclear RNA methylation and mouse embryonic stem cell self-renewal

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is an abundant modification in eukaryotic mRNA, regulating mRNA dynamics by influencing mRNA stability, splicing, export and translation. Recent studies discovered m6A methyltransferases (?writer?), demethylases (?eraser?) and binding proteins (?reader?), which modulate m6A methylation. However, the precise m6A regulating machinery still remains incompletely understood. Here we demonstrate that ZC3H13, a zinc finger protein, plays an essential role in modulating m6A methylation on polyadenylated RNA in the nucleus. ZC3H13 exists in an evolutionary-conserved macromolecular complex containing WTAP, Virilizer and Hakai. We confirm the interaction among those proteins and demonstrate that knockdown of Zc3h13 in mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) significantly decreases global m6A level on mRNA, mainly at 3? untranslated regions (3? UTR). Interestingly, fractionation assays show that upon Zc3h13 knockdown a great majority of WTAP, Virilizer and Hakai translocate to the cytoplasm and the nuclear presence of the methyltransferase Mettl3 and Mettl14 also decrease significantly. In contrast, knockdown of WTAP, Virilizer or Hakai does not change the nuclear localization of Zc3h13. This suggests that Zc3h13 is required for nuclear localization of the Zc3h13-WTAP-Virilizer-Hakai complex, which is important for RNA m6A methylation. Finally, Zc3h13 depletion, as does WTAP, Virilizer or Hakai, impairs self-renewal and triggers mESC differentiation. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that Zc3h13 plays an essential role in anchoring WTAP, Virilizer and Hakai in the nucleus to facilitate m6A methylation and to regulate mESC self-renewal.

Hakai is required for stabilization of core components of the m6A mRNA methylation machinery

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification on mRNA which influences most steps of mRNA metabolism and is involved in several biological functions. The E3 ubiquitin ligase Hakai was previously found in complex with components of the m6A methylation machinery in plants and mammalian cells but its precise function remained to be investigated. Here we show that Hakai is a conserved component of the methyltransferase complex in Drosophila and human cells. In Drosophila, its depletion results in reduced m6A levels and altered m6A-dependent functions including sex determination. We show that its ubiquitination domain is required for dimerisation and interaction with other members of the m6A machinery, while its catalytic activity is dispensable. Finally, we demonstrate that the loss of Hakai destabilizes several subunits of the methyltransferase complex, resulting in impaired m6A deposition. Our work adds new functional and molecular insights into the mechanism of the m6A mRNA writer complex.

m6A-RIP-seq of mRNA in yw, Mettl3, Mettl14 and Hakai flies

Project description:In order to obtain a stringent m6A methylome in Drosophila adults, we performed m6A-RIP-seq in yw control (male and female), Mettl3 (male), Mettl14 (male) and Hakai (male) mutant flies. We find that the effective m6A modification, which depends on the writer complex, is mostly distributed in 5’ UTR and near start codon in Drosophila, in contrast to the mammalian system. We define a set of high-confident m6A methylation sites shared by Mettl3, Mettl14 and Hakai, indicating that Hakai is a core component of the m6A writer complex. We also find differential methylation pattern in certain loci between male and female flies.

Comprehensive role of Zfp217 in m6A methylation [MeRIP-seq]

Project description:Many transcriptional and epigenetic networks must be integrated to maintain self-renewal and pluripotency in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and to enable induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) reprogramming. Here, we explore the role of Zfp217 as a key transcriptional factor in maintaining ES cell self-renewal by performing meRIP analysis in control and Zfp217-depleted mouse stem cells.

Zfp217 orchestrates m6A mRNA methylation and gene expression to promote adipogenic differentiation

Project description:We performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and m6A methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) in control and Zfp217 knockout 3T3L1 cells with MDI treatment for 0d and 2d Loss-of-function study demonstrates that Zfp217 deficiency impaired adipogenesis together with a global increase of m6A modification in 3T3L1cells. To gain an overview of the global role of Zfp217 in adipogenesis, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in control and Zfp217 knockout 3T3L1 cells with MDI treatment for 0d and 2d and identified 12,188 and 11,566 different expressed genes (DEG) for 0d and 2d, respectively. Next, to elucidate the mechanism by which Zfp217 regulates m6A restriction, m6A methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) was used to analyze the m6A mRNA methylation in control and Zfp217 knockout 3T3L1 cells with MDI treatment for 0d and 2d, and identified 3149 and 294 of m6A peaks experienced an increase in m6A RNA modification after Zfp217 depletion, respectively.
