High-resolution mapping reveals a conserved, widespread, dynamic mRNA methylation program in yeast meiosis

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most ubiquitous mRNA base modification, but little is known about its precise location, temporal dynamics, and regulation. Here, we generated genomic maps of m6A sites in meiotic yeast transcripts at nearly single-nucleotide resolution, identifying 1,308 putatively methylated sites within 1,183 transcripts. We validated 8/8 methylation sites in different genes with direct genetic analysis, demonstrated that methylated sites are significantly conserved in a related species, and built a model that predicts methylated sites directly from sequence. Sites vary in their methylation profiles along a dense meiotic time-course, and are regulated both locally, via predictable methylatability of each site, and globally, through the core meiotic circuitry. The methyltransferase complex components localize to the yeast nucleolus, and this localization is essential for mRNA methylation. Our data illuminates a conserved, dynamically regulated methylation program in yeast meiosis, and provides an important resource for studying the function of this epitranscriptomic modification.

Sulfur-dependent translational regulation via methylation multiplicity of 18S rRNA

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a conserved nucleoside modification that regulates many facets of RNA metabolism and cellular physiology. Using quantitative mass spectrometry, we find that the universally conserved tandem adenosines at the 3’ end of 18S rRNA (A1781 and A1782 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae), which were thought to be constitutively di-methylated (i.e. N6, N6-dimethyladenosine or m62A), are also mono-methylated (i.e. m6A). Although present at substoichiometric amounts, m6A at these positions increases significantly and specifically in response to sulfur starvation in both yeast and mammalian cells. Combining yeast genetics and ribosome-profiling, we further demonstrate that ribosomes bearing different numbers of methyl groups (zero, one, and two) at these tandem adenosines exhibit distinct translation profiles in a sulfur-dependent fashion. Our work thus reveals methylation multiplicity as a mechanism to regulate translation and also uncovers the functional importance of the ubiquitous m62A modification in 18S rRNA.

m6A level and isoform characterization sequencing (m6A-LAIC-seq) reveal the census and complexity of the m6A epitranscriptome

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a widespread reversible chemical modification of RNAs, implicated in many aspects of RNA metabolism. Little quantitative information exists as to either how many transcript copies of particular genes are m6A modified (âm6A levelsâ), or the relationship of m6A modification(s) to alternative RNA isoforms. To deconvolute the m6A epitranscriptome, we developed m6A level and isoform-characterization sequencing (m6A-LAIC-seq). We found that cells exhibit a broad range of non-stoichiometric m6A levels with cell type specificity. At the level of isoform characterization, we discovered widespread differences in use of tandem alternative polyadenylation (APA) sites by methylated and nonmethylated transcript isoforms of individual genes. Strikingly, there is a strong bias for methylated transcripts to be coupled with proximal APA sites, resulting in shortened 3â untranslated regions (3â-UTRs), while nonmethylated transcript isoforms tend to use distal APA sites. m6A-LAIC-seq yields a new perspective on transcriptome complexity and links APA usage to m6A modifications. m6A-LAIC-seq of H1-ESC and GM12878 cell lines, each cell line has two replicates

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 RNA Methylation Is Regulated by MicroRNAs and Promotes Reprogramming to Pluripotency

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been recently identified as a conserved epitranscriptomic modification of eukaryotic mRNAs, but its features, regulatory mechanisms, and functions in cell reprogramming are largely unknown. Here, we report m6A modification profiles in the mRNA transcriptomes of four cell types with different degrees of pluripotency. Comparative analysis reveals several features of m6A, especially gene- and cell-type-specific m6A mRNA modifications. We also show that microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate m6A modification via a sequence pairing mechanism. Manipulation of miRNA expression or sequences alters m6A modification levels through modulating the binding of METTL3 methyltransferase to mRNAs containing miRNA targeting sites. Increased m6A abundance promotes the reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to pluripotent stem cells; conversely, reduced m6A levels impede reprogramming. Our results therefore uncover a role for miRNAs in regulating m6A formation of mRNAs and provide a foundation for future functional studies of m6A modification in cell reprogramming. m6A-seq in ESC, iPSC, NSC and sertoli cells.

m6A RNA methylation promotes XIST-mediated transcriptional repression

Project description:XIST is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that mediates transcriptional silencing of X chromosome genes. Here we show that XIST is highly methylated with at least 78 N6-methyladenosine (m6A) residues, a reversible base modification whose function in lncRNAs is unknown. We show that m6A formation in XIST, as well as cellular mRNAs, is mediated by RBM15 and its paralog RBM15B, which bind the m6A-methylation complex and recruit it to specific sites in RNA. This results in methylation of adenosines in adjacent m6A consensus motifs. Furthermore, knockdown of RBM15 and RBM15B, or knockdown of the m6A methyltransferase METTL3 impairs XIST-mediated gene silencing. A systematic comparison of m6A-binding proteins shows that YTHDC1 preferentially recognizes m6A in XIST and is required for XIST function. Additionally, artificial tethering of YTHDC1 to XIST rescues XIST-mediated silencing upon loss of m6A. These data reveal a pathway of m6A formation and recognition required for XIST-mediated transcriptional repression. Three to four biological HEK293T replicates were used to perform iCLIP of endogenous YTH proteins, RBM15, and RBM15B. Crosslinking induced truncations were identified using CIMS-CITS pipeline.

Transcriptome-wide N6-methyladenosine modification profiling of long non-coding RNAs and circular RNA during growth of Marek’s disease virus in vitro

Project description:we profiled the transcriptome-wide m6A modification in lncRNAs and circRNA in MDV-infected chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells. Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing results revealed that the lncRNA m6A modification is highly conserved with MDV infection increasing the expression of lncRNA m6A modified sites compared to uninfected cell controls. m6A modification was highly conserved in circRNAs. Comparing to the uninfected group, the number of peaks, conserved motifs, and abundance of circRNA m6A modification, was not significantly different in cells that were infected with MDV. Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway (KEGG) analysis revealed that lncRNA m6A modifications were highly associated with signaling pathways associated with MDV infection. The alterations seen in transcriptome-wide m6A occurring in lncRNAs following MDV-infection suggest this process plays important regulatory roles during MDV replication. And the insulin signaling pathway was associated with the regulation of m6A modified circRNAs in MDV infection. In summary, we report for the first time profiling of the alterations in transcriptome-wide m6A modification in lncRNAs and circRNA of MDV-infected CEF cells.

Identification of human proteins whose binding to the N6-methyladenosine-containing hairpin from 28S rRNA is modulated by methylation

Project description:We have recently found that the human methyltransferase ZCCHC4 is responsible for introducing the single m6A modification in 28S rRNA. The project is aimed at further elucidating the functional consequences of such methylation. To this end, protein mass spectrometry is utilized to identify proteins that bind preferentially to the methylated or unmethylated form of the m6A containing hairpin sequence in 28S rRNA. Specifically, this is done by incubating a HeLa cell extract with an methylated or unmethylated RNA oligonucleotide containing a biotin affinity tag, which is used to pull-down the RNA with associated proteins.

Adenosine methylation is widespread throughout the transcriptome and prominent within 3' UTRs

Project description:Here, we use a novel technique for locating regions of N6-adenosine methylation (m6A) throughout the transcriptome and present a profile of m6A sites in the mouse brain. Our use of methylated RNA immunoprecipitation combined with RNA-seq (MeRIP-Seq) identifies thousands of RNAs which contain m6A sites. In addition, we find that regions of m6A formation are particularly enriched near stop codons, which might provide clues into the potential funciton of this highly prevalent RNA modificaiton. Examination of m6A sites in murine brain RNA.

Transcriptome-wide map of m6A RNAs in A375 NC cells and shMETTL3 cells

Project description:The newly discovered dynamic N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays a critical role in gene expression from a post-transcriptional level. we profiled the transcriptome-wide m6A modification in mRNAs and lncRNAs in non-targeting control A375 cells(NC) and METTL3 knockdown A375 cells(shMETTL3). Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing results revealed that the RNA m6A modification is conserved. METTL3 knockdown altered the expression of RNAs m6A modified sites in A375 cells. Finally, we show that the transcriptome-wide m6A alterations occurring in mRNAs and lncRNAs following METTL3 knockdown suggest this process plays important regulatory roles during A375 growth. This study provides a framework for applying the m6A modification regulated by METTL3 to melanoma research.
