High throughput sequencing identifies alternative splicing events regulated by PRMT9

ABSTRACT: The human genome encodes a family of nine protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMT1-9). Different members of this enzyme family catalyze different types of protein methylation at the terminal nitrogen atoms of arginine residues, forming monomethylated arginine (MMA), asymmetrically dimethylated arginine (ADMA) and symmetrically dimethylated arginine (SDMA). The last member of this family, PRMT9, is characterized in detail here. We identify two spliceosome-associated proteins, SAP145 (SF3B2) and SAP49 (SF3B4), as PRMT9 binding partners, linking PRMT9 to U2snRNP maturation. We show that SAP145 is methylated by PRMT9 at arginine 508 (R508). Amino acid analysis and a methyl-specific antibody revealed the formation of MMA and SDMA, and PRMT9 thus joins PRMT5 as the only mammalian enzymes that can deposit the SDMA mark. Methylation of the SAP145R508 generates a binding site for the Tudor domain of SMN, and RNA-seq analysis reveals gross splicing changes when PRMT9 levels are attenuated. These studies identify PRMT9 as a non-histone methyltransferase that primes the U2snRNP for interaction with SMN.

RNA sequencing was carried out using RNA samples from two biological replicates of control and PRMT9 knockdown HeLa cells.

PRMT9-catalyzed SF3B2 methylation regulates RNA splicing and synapse development

Project description:Human genome encodes nine protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMT1–9), which catalyze three types of arginine methylation: monomethylation (MMA), asymmetric dimethylation (ADMA), and symmetric dimethylation (SDMA). These modifications can alter protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions and play critical roles in transcription regulation and RNA metabolism. A few years ago, we characterized the newest member of the PRMT family–PRMT9 as a SDMA modifying enzyme and identified the splicing factor SF3B2 as its methylation substrate, linking its function to pre-mRNA splicing. However, the biological function of PRMT9 and the molecular mechanism by which PRMT9-catalyzed SF3B2 arginine methylation regulates pre-mRNA splicing remain largely unknown. Here, by charactering an intellectual disability patient-derived PRMT9 mutation (G189R) and establishing a Prmt9 conditional knockout (cKO) mouse model, we uncovered an important function of PRMT9 in neuronal development. We found that G189R mutation completely abolishes PRMT9 methyltransferase activity and destabilizes the protein by promoting its ubiquitination and proteasome degradation. PRMT9 loss in hippocampal neurons alters RNA splicing of ~1800 transcripts, which likely account for the abnormal synapse development and impaired learning and memory observed in the Prmt9 cKO mouse. Mechanistically, we discovered a critical protein-RNA interaction between the arginine 508 (R508) of SF3B2, the site that is exclusively methylated by PRMT9, and the pre-mRNA anchoring site, a cis-regulatory element located upstream of the branch point sequence (BPS). Additionally, we provide strong evidence that supports SF3B2 being the major and likely only substrate of PRMT9, thus highlighting the conserved function of PRMT9/SF3B2 axis in pre-mRNA splicing regulation.

SMN and Symmetric Arginine Dimethylation of RNAP II CTD Control Termination

Project description:The C-terminal domain (CTD) of the RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) subunit POLR2A is a platform for modifications specifying the recruitment of factors that regulate transcription, mRNA processing, and chromatin remodeling. Here, we show that a CTD arginine residue (R1810 in human) that is conserved across vertebrates is symmetrically dimethylated (me2s). This R1810me2s modification requires Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) and recruits the Tudor domain of the Survival of Motor Neuron (SMN) protein, which is mutated in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). SMN interacts with Senataxin, which is sometimes mutated in Ataxia Oculomotor Apraxia 2 (AOA2) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS4). Because R1810me2s and SMN, like Senataxin, are required for resolving RNA-DNA hybrids, created by RNA polymerase II, that form â??R-loopsâ?? in transcription termination regions, we propose that R1810me2s, SMN, and Senataxin are components of a pathway for R-loop resolution in which defects can influence transcription termination and may contribute to neurodegenerative disorders. ChIP of RNAPII in Raji cells expressing shRNG against SMN or GFP; ChIP against RNAPII in Raji cells where endogenous RNAPII has been replaced with wt or R1810A mutant amanitin-resistant protein; and ChIP of SMN in HEK293 cells.

Targeting Arginine Methylation Suppresses Cancer Stem Cell Maintenance and Elicits cGAS-mediated anti-Cancer Immunity II

Project description:Current anti-cancer therapies cannot eliminate all the cancer cells, which hijack normal arginine methylation as a means to promote their own maintenance via unknown mechanisms. Herein, we show that targeting protein arginine methyltransferase 9 (PRMT9), whose activities are elevated in leukemia stem cells (LSCs) from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), eliminates disease via cancer-intrinsic mechanisms and cancer-extrinsic Type-I Interferon (IFN-I)-associated immunity. PRMT9 ablation in AML cells decreased arginine methylation of regulators of RNA translation and the DNA damage response, suppressing cell survival. Notably, PRMT9 inhibition promoted DNA damage and activated cGAS, which underlies the IFN-I response. Genetically activating cGAS in AML cells blocked leukemogenesis. We also report synergy of a PRMT9 inhibitor with anti-PD1 in eradicating PRMT9-proficient cancers, including AML and lymphoma. We conclude that PRMT9 governs LSCs survival and immune evasion, and that combining a PRMT9 inhibitor with an immune checkpoint inhibitor represents a novel anti-cancer strategy.

Comprehensive analysis of symmetric arginine dimethylation in colorectal cancer tissues from patients using immuniaffinity enrichment followed by LC-MS/MS analysis

Project description:Post-translational arginine methylation is responsible for regulation of a variety of biological processes. The protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is the major enzyme responsible for generating monomethyl- and symmetric dimethyl arginine (MMA and SDMA, respectively) in proteins. PRMT5 is essential for viability and normal development, and overexpressed in a wide variety of cancer types. In the present study, we found that the levels of PRMT5 and symmetric dimethylation in proteins from colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues are more highly maintained relative to adjacent normal tissues from patients. Using immunoaffinity enrichment of methylated peptides combined with high resolution mass spectrometry, a total of 147 SDMA sites from 94 proteins were identified. Most abundant methylated proteins identified from normal and CRC tissues are RNA processing proteins, transcriptional and translational regulators. Furthermore, when quantitative analysis of the two tissue types of samples was carried out, 77 SDMA sites exhibited statistically significant changes (>2.0-fold, p-value <0.05) between normal and CRC tissues. We confirmed KSRP, G3BP2 and TRIP6 which are more highly maintained in cancer tissues relative to adjacent normal tissues from same patients as well as the expression levels of the proteins. This study is the first comprehensive analysis of symmetric arginine dimethylation using clinical samples and suggests that the modification can be used in clinical application.

Characterization of Arginine Methylation in Cancer Cell using LC-MS/MS

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferase 9 (PRMT9) activity has been observed to be elevated in cancer patients, including many types of leukemias, correlating with poor prognosis and decreased response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. By targeting PRMT9, we can eliminate PRMT9-proficient/immune-cold cancers via mechanisms such as Type-I Interferon associated immunity. Deleting PRMT9 resulted in a decrease in arginine methylation of regulators involved in RNA translation and DNA damage response. Through global proteomics and SILAC methyl(R) enrichment, we characterized arginine methylation changes in AML cell lines via LC-MS/MS.

A complex of C9ORF72 and p62 uses arginine methylation to eliminate stress granules by autophagy - PART 1

Project description:Mutations in proteins like FUS which cause Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) result in the aberrant formation of stress granules while ALS-linked mutations in other proteins impede elimination of stress granules. Repeat expansions in C9ORF72, the major cause of ALS, reduce C9ORF72 levels but how this impacts stress granules is uncertain. Here, we demonstrate that C9ORF72 associates with the autophagy receptor p62 and controls elimination of stress granules by autophagy. This requires p62 to associate via the Tudor protein SMN with proteins, including FUS, that are symmetrically arginine-methylated by PRMT5. Mice lacking p62 accumulate arginine-methylated proteins and alterations in FUS-dependent splicing. Finally, patients with C9ORF72 repeat expansions accumulate symmetric arginine dimethylated proteins which co-localize with p62. This suggests that C9ORF72 initiates a cascade of ALS-linked proteins (C9ORF72, p62, SMN, FUS) to recognize stress granules for degradation by autophagy and hallmarks of a defect in this process are observable in ALS patients.
