A metabolic function for phospholipid and histone methylation

ABSTRACT: S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is the methyl donor for biological methylation modifications that regulate protein and nucleic acid functions. Here we show that methylation of a phospholipid, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), is the major consumer of SAM in budding yeast. The induction of phospholipid biosynthetic genes is accompanied by induction of the enzyme that hydrolyzes S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), a product and inhibitor of methyltransferases. Beyond its function for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PC), the methylation of PE facilitates the turnover of SAM for the synthesis of cysteine and glutathione. Strikingly, cells that lack PE methylation accumulate SAM, which leads to hypermethylation of histones and the major phosphatase PP2A, dependency on cysteine, and sensitivity to oxidative stress. Without PE methylation, particular sites on histones then become methyl sinks to enable the turnover of SAM. These findings reveal an unforeseen metabolic function for phospholipid and histone methylation intrinsic to the life of a cell.

Demethylation of the protein phosphatase PP2A promotes the demethylation of histones to enable their function as a methyl group sink

Project description:Dysregulation of chromatin methylation is strongly linked to defects in cellular differentiation as well as a variety of cancers. How cells regulate the opposing activities of histone methyltransferase and demethylase enzymes to set the methylation status of the epigenome for proper control of gene expression and metabolism remains poorly understood. Here, we show that loss of methylation of the major phosphatase PP2A in response to methionine starvation activates the demethylation of histones through hyperphosphorylation of specific demethylase enzymes. In parallel, this regulatory mechanism enables cells to preserve SAM by increasing SAH to limit SAM consumption by methyltransferase enzymes. Mutants lacking the H3K36 demethylase Rph1 exhibit elevated SAM levels and are dependent on cysteine due to reduced capacity to sink the methyl groups of SAM. Therefore, PP2A directs the methylation status of histones by regulating the phosphorylation status of histone demethylase enzymes in response to SAM levels.

Formaldehyde regulates S-adenosylmethionine biosynthesis and one-carbon metabolism

Project description:One-carbon metabolism is an essential branch of cellular metabolism that intersects with epigenetic regulation. Here, we show formaldehyde, a one-carbon unit derived from both endogenous sources and environmental exposure, regulates one-carbon metabolism by inhibiting the biosynthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the major methyl donor in cells. Formaldehyde reacts with privileged, hyperreactive cysteine sites in the proteome, including Cys120 in S-adenosylmethionine synthase isoform type-1 (MAT1A). Formaldehyde exposure inhibited MAT1A activity and decreased SAM production with MAT-isoform specificity. A genetic mouse model of chronic formaldehyde overload showed a decrease in SAM and in methylation on selected histones and genes. Epigenetic and transcriptional regulation of Mat1a and related genes function as compensatory mechanisms for formaldehyde-dependent SAM depletion, revealing a biochemical feedback cycle between formaldehyde and SAM one-carbon units.

Methyl-SILAF mapping of the Drosophila mitochondrial protein methylome

Project description:S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is the principal biological methyl group donor for a diverse range of substrates. It is synthesised in the cytosolic methionine cycle and shuttled throughout the cell. The mitochondrial SAM (mitoSAM) pool depends on import through the inner-membrane S-adenosylmethionine carrier (SAMC) and supports the maturation of metabolites and mitochondrial RNAs. Mutations in SAMC in patients cause a severe metabolic crisis, however, the organellar regulation of mitoSAM and the protein methylation landscape within mitochondria are largely unknown. We developed a fly-compatible SILAC labelling technique and mapped mitochondrial protein methylation sites in Drosophila melanogaster, further showing that SAM is the sole methyl group donor for these modifications, with no contribution from folate-species. This dataset comprises MS-runs used for quality control of methyl-SILAF, the methylome mapping and exclusion of folates as protein methyl-group donors.

Drosophila NFS1.R77 is required for differential protein complex composition

Project description:S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is the principle biological methyl group donor for a diverse range of substrates. It is synthesised in the cytosolic methionine cycle and shuttled throughout the cell. The mitochondrial SAM (mitoSAM) pool depends on import through the inner-membrane SAMC and supports the maturation of metabolites and mitochondrial RNAs. We demonstrated that mitoSAM differentially effects mitochondrial function. Metabolite and iron-sulphur cluster biosynthesis are disrupted due to acutely decreased methylation potential, while prolonged mitoSAM deficiency affects fly longevity and OXPHOS stability. We developed a fly-compatible SILAC labelling technique and mapped mitochondrial protein methylation sites. Based on a novel mono-methylation on the DmR77 (HsR72) of the cysteine desulfurase NFS1 our data indicates that methylation can be used to regulate differential protein complex composition in mitochondria on the basis of immunoprecipitation data in this submission. While iron-sulphur cluster containing proteins enriched with Drosophila Nfs1.R77F that mimics a constitutively methylated Nfs1, the iron sequestering protein Fer1HCH bound stronger to Nfs1.R77K that resembles absence of methylation. Our results define the critical role of cytoplasmic SAM production for mitochondrial methylation events and highlight the indirect effect of one-carbon metabolism on cellular bioenergetics.

The mitochondrial methylome is evolutionary conserved and regulated by cytosolic SAM

Project description:S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is the principle biological methyl group donor for a diverse range of substrates. It is synthesised in the cytosolic methionine cycle and shuttled throughout the cell. The mitochondrial SAM (mitoSAM) pool depends on import through the inner-membrane SAMC and supports the maturation of metabolites and mitochondrial RNAs. Mutations in SAMC in patients cause a severe metabolic crisis, however, the organellar regulation of mitoSAM and the protein methylation landscape within mitochondria are largely unknown. We mapped mitochondrial protein methylation sites in Drosphila and, in a targeted screen, we find that methylated residues are highly conserved between fly, mouse and human. Unexpectedly, many methylation events occur outside of mitochondria, independent of the mitoSAM pool. Our results define the critical role of cytoplasmic SAM production for mitochondrial methylation events and highlight the indirect effect of one-carbon metabolism on cellular bioenergetics.

The U6 snRNA m6A methyltransferase METTL16 regulates SAM synthetase intron retention

Project description:Maintenance of the intracellular levels of the methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is essential for a wide variety of biological processes. We demonstrate that the N6-adenosine methyltransferase METTL16 regulates expression of MAT2A, which encodes the only SAM synthetase expressed in most cells. Upon SAM depletion by methionine starvation, cells induce MAT2A expression by enhanced splicing of a retained intron. Induction requires METTL16 and its methylation substrate, a vertebrate conserved hairpin (hp1) in the MAT2A 3´ UTR. Increasing METTL16 occupancy on the MAT2A 3´ UTR is sufficient to induce efficient splicing. We propose that under SAM-limiting conditions, METTL16 occupancy on hp1 increases due to inefficient enzymatic turnover, which in turn promotes MAT2A splicing. Interestingly, human and S. pombe METTL16 methylate the U6 spliceosomal snRNA at a sequence identical to hp1. These observations suggest that the conserved U6 snRNA methyltransferase evolved an additional function in vertebrates to regulate SAM homeostasis.

Modelling mitochondrial SAM depletion in fruit flies and mice

Project description:S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is the principle biological methyl group donor for a diverse range of substrates. It is synthesised in the cytosolic methionine cycle and shuttled throughout the cell. The mitochondrial SAM (mitoSAM) pool depends on import through the inner-membrane SAMC and supports the maturation of metabolites and mitochondrial RNAs. Mutations in SAMC in patients cause a severe metabolic crisis, however, the organellar regulation of mitoSAM and the protein methylation landscape within mitochondria are largely unknown. Using fly and mouse models, we demonstrate that titrating mitoSAM differentially effects mitochondrial function. Metabolite and iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis are disrupted due to acutely decreased methylation potential, while prolonged mitoSAM deficiency affects fly longevity and OXPHOS stability. The herein uploaded raw data was used for total larvae and total cell proteome quantification in the established lines. Our results define the critical role of cytoplasmic SAM production for mitochondrial methylation events and highlight the indirect effect of one-carbon metabolism on cellular bioenergetics.

Formaldehyde regulates one-carbon metabolism through S-adenosylmethionine biosynthesis

Project description:One-carbon metabolism is a universal hub for cellular metabolism and epigenetic regulation.1–3 Here, we report that formaldehyde (FA), a one-carbon unit that organisms produce in substantial quantities through folate metabolism,4 is a regulator of the one-carbon cycle via the biosynthesis of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), an essential one-carbon building block for synthesis of nucleotides, amino acids, and methylated nucleic acids and proteins.5 Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) in mouse liver tissue identifies FA-sensitive cysteine sites across the proteome, revealing several one-carbon cycle targets including S-adenosylmethionine synthetase isoform 1 (MAT1A), the terminal enzyme in SAM biosynthesis. Biochemical studies of the formaldehyde-MAT1A interaction establish FA-dependent inhibition of MAT1A activity through a conserved C120 site, as the MAT2A isoform lacking this cysteine is not FA-sensitive. CRISPR knockout-generated HepG2 cell models that predominantly express either MAT1A or MAT2A show that MAT1A-positive cells respond to FA treatment in a dose-dependent manner by decreasing their SAM levels and downstream RNA methylation, whereas the MAT2A-positive cells are not affected by FA. Our findings reveal an unexpected interplay between SAM and FA, two central one-carbon units to influence the overall methylation potential of the cell.

Genome-wide mapping of MAT2A-associsted regions in bovine blastocysts

Project description:Methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT), that catalyzes the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) from ATP and methionine, is involved in folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism (OCM) that is essential for preimplantation embryos in terms of both short-term periconceptional development and long-term phenotypic programming beyond the periconceptional period. SAM is the universal methyl donor for epigenetic methylation of DNA and histones. In the context of the long-term phenotypic programming by the modulation of OCM during periconceptional period, possible interactions between MAT2A and epigenetic status of specific genes during this period are of particular interest. MAT2A has been proposed to interact with many chromatin-related proteins and be recruited to their specific target genes to constitute gene-regulatory complexes. Thus, in the aim of addressing the possible interaction of MAT2A with specific genomic DNA regions in periconceptional period, we performed a ChIP-seq analysis using MAT2A antibody against bovine blastocysts.
