Resolving METTL5 Specificity: Direct RNA Sequencing Reveals No Evidence for METTL5 mediated mRNA m6A Methylation in mESCs

ABSTRACT: The methyltransferase-like 5 (METTL5) has been shown to catalyze m6A deposition on 18S ribosomal RNA. However, whether it also methylates mRNAs remains unclear. To address this, we employed direct RNA sequencing (ONT) for m6A detection on native mRNA molecules. We first validated the quantitative detection of m6A by ONT by treating mESCs with a METTL3 inhibitor. We then compared methylation levels of m6A sites between Mettl5-KO and WT mESCs. Our analysis provides no compelling evidence for METTL5 mediated mRNA methylation in vivo, indicating that its activity is restricted to rRNA.

METTL5, an 18S rRNA-specific m6A methyltransferase, regulates the Integrated Stress Response [eCLIP]

Project description:RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is present in different RNA molecules, including protein-coding mRNAs and non-coding RNAs such as ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs).Here, we report that mammalian METTL5, a member of a highly conserved methyltransferase family, specifically methylates adenosine 1832 (A1832) in the 18S rRNA in vivo and in vitro.

RNA-seq and Ribo-seq of WT and METTL5 KO mECS.

Project description:Covalent chemical modifications of cellular RNAs directly impact all biological processes. However, our mechanistic understanding of the enzymes catalysing these modifications, their substrates and biological functions remains vague. Here, we undertook a systematic screen to uncover new RNA methyltransferases. We demonstrate that the methyltransferase-like 5 (METTL5) protein catalyses m6A in 18S rRNA at position A1832. We report that absence of Mettl5 in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) results in a changes gene expression, decrease in translation rate, spontaneous loss of pluripotency and compromised differentiation potential. Mice lacking METTL5 recapitulate symptoms of patients with METTL5 mutations, thereby providing a new mouse disease model. Overall, our work highlights the importance of m6A in rRNA in stemness, differentiation, development and diseases.

Methyltransferase METTL5 interactome

Project description:Cellular RNAs are covalently modified and these modifications can impact on all biological processes and hence are implicated in different types of diseases. Amongst RNA modifications, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most widespread and has been found on messenger (mRNA), ribosomal (rRNA), non-coding and spliceosomal RNAs. We undertook a systematic screen to uncover new RNA-methyltransferases. We demonstrate that the methyltransferase-like 5 protein (METTL5) is an 18S rRNA specific methyltransferase and interacts specifically with Trmt122.

The human 18S rRNA m6A methyltransferase METTL5 is stabilized by TRMT112

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has recently been found abundantly on messenger RNA and shown to regulate most steps of mRNA metabolism. Several important m6A methyltransferases have been described functionally and structurally, but the enzymes responsible for installing one m6A residue on each subunit of human ribosomes at functionally important sites have eluded identification for over 30 years. Here we identify METTL5 as the enzyme responsible for 18S rRNA m6A modification and confirm ZCCHC4 as the 28S rRNA modification enzyme. We show that METTL5 must form a heterodimeric complex with TRMT112, a known methyltransferase activator, to gain metabolic stability in cells. We provide the first atomic resolution structure of METTL5-TRMT112, supporting that its RNA binding mode differs distinctly from that of other m6A RNA methyltransferases. On the basis of similarities with a DNA methyltransferase, we propose that METTL5-TRMT112 acts by extruding the adenosine to be modified from a double-stranded nucleic acid.

Loss of m6A methyltransferase METTL5 promotes cardiac hypertrophy through translational control of SUZ12

Project description:The methyltransferase-like5 (METTL5), which catalyzes m6A in 18S rRNA at position A1832, has been shown to regulate the efficient of mRNA translation in the differentiation of ES cell and the growth of cancer cells. It remains unknown that whether and how METTL5 regulates cardiac hypertrophy. In this study, we generated a mouse model (METTL5-cKO) with cardiac-specific abolishment of METTL5 in vivo. Loss function of METTL5 promotes pressure overload-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and adverse remodeling. The regulatory function of METTL5 in hypertrophic growth of cardiomyocyte were further confirmed with both gain- and loss-of-function approaches in primary isolated cardiomyocytes. Mechanically, METTL5 was identified to modulate the mRNA translation of SUZ12, a core component of PRC2 complex, and further regulate the transcriptome shift during cardiac hypertrophy. Therefore, our study uncover an important translational regulator of cardiac hypertrophy.

Function and Mechanism of METTL5-mediated translation in multiple myeloma

Project description:The abnormal expression of m6A methyltransferase is a significant factor in the occurrence and progression of tumors. The 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) m6A methyltransferase Methyltransferase-like 5 (METTL5) is upregulated in various cancers, leading to adverse prognosis by abnormally regulating protein translation in tumor cells. However, the functionality and molecular mechanisms of METTL5 in the progression of multiple myeloma (MM) remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that the expression of METTL5 in the bone marrow (BM) of newly diagnosed MM patients is significantly higher than in healthy individuals and patients in remission following treatment. Importantly, we found that MM patients with upregulated METTL5 expression had a poorer prognosis. Additionally, we show that METTL5 plays a key role in promoting MM progression both in vitro and in a orthotopical xenograft model. Mechanistically, the depletion of METTL5 expression mediates a decrease in overall translation efficiency and selenium metabolism-related signaling pathway levels. We further revealed that the reduction in selenophosphate synthetase 2 (SEPHS2) translation efficiency mediated by METTL5 depletion can lead to diminished synthesis of selenoprotein and lead to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby inducing apoptosis in MM. Salvianolic Acid C (SAC) was identified as a potential METTL5 inhibitor, demonstrating significant pro-apoptotic effects during the treatment of MM both in vitro and in vivo. In summary, our research highlights the critical role of METTL5 in the progression of MM cells. Our data indicate METTL5’s function is to influence the overall translation efficiency and reprogram selenium metabolism to inhibit apoptosis.

Function and Mechanism of METTL5-mediated 18S rRNA m6A1832 modification in hepatocellular carcinoma

Project description:Tumor recurrence is main pattern of treatment failure for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying disease recurrence remain poorly understood. Here, we showed that 18S rRNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A1832) modification and its methyltransferase complex METTL5/TRMT112 were upregulated in HCC and correlated with poor prognosis. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function assays demonstrated that METTL5/TRMT112 mediated 18S rRNA m6A1832 modification promotes HCC tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, 18S rRNA m6A1832 modification selectively regulated the translation of mRNAs with long 5’UTR and short 3’UTR through affecting the assembly of 80S subunit at translation initiation and its dissociation at translation termination which was executed by weakening the interaction of ABCE1 with eRF1 and eRF3. Moreover, METTL5-mediated 18S rRNA m6A1832 modification regulated β-oxidation of long-chain fatty acid through ACSL4 to promote HCC progression. Our work uncovered a novel layer of mRNA translation regulation mechanism at ribosome 80S subunit assembly and dissociation step mediated by 18S rRNA m6A1832 modification and revealed a new crosslink between RNA epigenetic modification and fatty acid metabolism in HCC.
