Dynamics of Human and Viral RNA Methylation during ZIKA Virus Infection

ABSTRACT: Human infection with the flavivirus ZIKA (ZIKV) causes severe neurological, immunological, and developmental defects. Despite recent progress, the mechanisms by which ZIKV infection alters host transcriptional and translational programs remains unclear. Here, we report that ZIKV infection has profound effects on the topology and function of N6-adenosine methylation (m6A) of both viral and human RNAs. m6A and 2′-O-methylated nucleosides are abundant in ZIKV genomic RNA, and m6A-seq identified 12 m6A peaks spanning the full length of ZIKV RNA. m6A abundance in ZIKV RNA is controlled by the host methyltransferases METTL3 and METTL14 and the demethylase ALKBH5. Profiling of the m6A methylome of host mRNAs revealed that ZIKV infection alters the location of m6A in mRNAs, the methylation motifs, and the target genes modified by the methyltransferases. Our results identify a new mechanism by which ZIKV interacts with and alters the function of the host cell.

Altered m6A Modification of Specific Cellular Transcripts Affects Flaviviridae Infection

Project description:The RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) can modulate mRNA fate and thus affect many biological processes. We analyzed m6A modification across the transcriptome following infection by dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), West Nile virus (WNV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV). We found that infection by these viruses in the Flaviviridae family alters m6A modification of specific cellular transcripts, including RIOK3 and CIRBP. During viral infection, the addition of m6A to RIOK3 promotes its translation, while loss of m6A in CIRBP promotes alternative splicing. Importantly, we found that viral activation of innate immune sensing or the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response contributes to the changes in m6A modification in RIOK3 and CIRBP, respectively. Further, several transcripts with infection-altered m6A profiles, including RIOK3 and CIRBP, encode proteins that influence DENV, ZIKV, and HCV infection. Overall, this work reveals that cellular signaling pathways activated during viral infection lead to alterations in m6A modification of host mRNAs to regulate infection.

Targeted Quantitative Profiling of Epitranscriptomic Reader, Writer and Eraser Proteins Revealed Potential Crosstalk between N6-Methyladenosine and Other RNA Modifications

Project description:N⁶-methyladenosine (m6A) and its reader, writer, and eraser (RWE) proteins assume crucial roles in regulating the splicing, stability, and translation of mRNA. To our knowledge, no systematic investigations have been conducted about the crosstalk between m6A and other modified nucleosides in RNA. Herein, we modified our recently established liquid chromatography-parallel-reaction monitoring (LC-PRM) method by incorporating stable isotope-labeled (SIL) peptides as internal or surrogate standards for profiling epitranscriptomic RWE proteins. We were able to detect reproducibly a total of 114 RWE proteins in HEK293T cells with the genes encoding m6A eraser proteins (i.e., ALKBH5, FTO) and the catalytic subunit of the major m6A writer complex (i.e., METTL3) being individually ablated. Notably, eight proteins were altered by more than 1.5-fold in the opposite directions in HEK293T cells depleted of METTL3 and ALKBH5. Analysis of published m6A mapping results revealed the presence of m6A in the corresponding mRNAs of four of these proteins. Together, we integrated SIL peptides into our LC-PRM method for quantifying epitranscriptomic RWE proteins, and our work revealed potential crosstalks between m6A and other epitranscriptomic modifications. Our modified LC-PRM method with the use of SIL peptides should be applicable for high-throughput profiling of epitranscriptomic RWE proteins in other cell types and in tissues.

ALKBH5 is a New Mammalian RNA Demethylase

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) in higher eukaryotes. Here we report ALKBH5 as a new mammalian demethylase that oxidatively removes the m6A modification in mRNA in vitro and inside cells. This demethylation activity of ALKBH5 significantly affects mRNA export and RNA metabolism as well as the assembly of mRNA processing factors in nuclear speckles. Alkbh5-deficient male mice are characterized by impaired fertility resulting from apoptosis that affects meiotic metaphase-stage spermatocytes. In accordance with this defect, we have identified in mouse testes 1552 differentially expressed genes which cover broad functional categories and include spermatogenesis-related mRNAs involved in the p53 functional interaction network. We show that Alkbh5-deficiency impacts the expression levels of some of these mRNAs, supporting the observed phenotype. The discovery of this new RNA demethylase strongly suggests that the reversible m6A modification plays fundamental and broad functions in mammalian cells. RNA-seq in two cell types

Mapping the targeting transcripts and binding sites of ALKBH5 by individual-nucleotide resolution UV crosslinking and immunoprecipitation-based sequencing (iCLIP-seq)

Project description:To investigate whether the ALKBH5-mediated metabolic changes via demethylation of its target mRNA(s) is important in regulating viral response, we mapped the targeting transcripts and binding sites of ALKBH5 in the virus infected cells and uninfected cells by using iCLIP-seq. Biological replicates of iCLIP-seq confirmed that OGDH is the direct targeting transcript of ALKBH5 and the binding capacity of ALKBH5 to OGDH mRNA was decreased upon viral infection. By combining the ALKBH5-iCLIP-seq results with m6A-seq data, we identified that there are overlapped ALKBH5-iCLIP peaks and m6A-seq peaks on OGDH mRNA. Furthermore, other mRNAs, such as GOT2 mRNA, were also the ALKBH5’s targeting transcripts and m6A demethylation substrates. GOT2 is an important metabolic enzyme well known to be involved in host response to viral infection. These data demonstrated that ALKBH5-mediated metabolic rewiring via demethylation of target OGDH mRNA and other transcripts is important in regulating cellular viral replication.

Gene expression in GSCs with shALKBH5

Project description:Knocking down ALKBH5 in Glioma Stem Cells resulted in an altered gene expression profile N6-methyl-adenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal chemical modification of mRNAs in eukaryotes. In mammals, m6A installed by m6A methyltransferases METTL3 and METTL14 is erased by two members of the AlkB family of nonheme Fe(II)/a-ketoglutarate (a-KG)-dependent dioxygenases, fat-mass and obesity associated protein (FTO) or ALKBH5. ALKBH5 affects nuclear RNA export and metabolism, gene expression and mouse fertility. To date, little is known about the biological significance of m6A in human cancer. We found that ALKBH5 is highly expressed in human glioblastoma stem cells which are resistant to conventional therapy and give rise to glioblastoma recurrence by sustaining long-term tumor growth. Global manipulation of the m6A modification by depleting ALKBH5 resulted in altered gene expression including subsets of genes enriched in "Cell Cycle", "DNA Replication, Recombination, and Repair" and "Cellular Assembly and Organization". Knockdown of ALKBH5 expression in human glioblastoma stem cells significantly reduced their self-renewal ability as a result of inhibition of cell cycle progression. This study demonstrated the important role of m6A modification in human glioblastoma development.

Single cell analysis reveals differential impact of Zika virus on the host antiviral landscape

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that caused an epidemic in the Americas in 2016 and is linked to severe neonatal birth defects, including microcephaly and spontaneous abortion. To better understand the host response to ZIKV infection, we adapted the 10x Genomics Chromium single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) assay to simultaneously capture viral RNA and host mRNA. Using this assay, we profiled the antiviral landscape in a population of human moDCs infected with ZIKV at the single cell level. The bystander cells, which lacked detectable viral RNA, expressed an antiviral state that was enriched for genes coinciding predominantly with a type I interferon (IFN) response. Within the infected cells, viral RNA negatively correlated with type I IFN dependent and independent genes (antiviral module). We modeled the ZIKV specific antiviral state at the protein level leveraging experimentally derived protein-interaction data. We identified a highly interconnected network between the antiviral module and other host proteins. In this work, we propose a new paradigm for the antiviral response to a specific virus, combining an unbiased list of genes that highly correlate with viral RNA on a per cell basis with experimental protein interaction data. Our ZIKV-inclusive scRNA-seq assay will serve as a useful tool to gaining greater insight into the host response to ZIKV and can be applied more broadly to the flavivirus field.

The m6A Demethylase ALKBH5 Maintains Tumorigenicity of Glioblastoma Stem-Like Cells by Sustaining FOXM1 Expression and Cell Proliferation Programing

Project description:The dynamic and reversible N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification installed and erased by N6-methyltransferases and demethylases regulates gene expression and cell fate. Here, we show that the m6A demethylase ALKBH5 is highly expressed in glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs). Silencing ALKBH5 suppresses the proliferation of patient-derived GSCs in vitro and in vivo. Integrated transcriptome and m6A-seq analyses revealed altered expression of select ALKBH5 target genes, including FOXM1, a critical transcription factor for the ALKBH5-dependent cell cycle gene expression. ALKBH5 binds to and demethylates FOXM1 nascent transcripts, leading to enhanced FOXM1 expression. Further, a long noncoding RNA antisense to the FOXM1 (FOXM1-AS) interacts with ALKBH5 and FOXM1 nascent transcripts and promotes their interaction. Depleting ALKBH5 and FOXM1-AS disrupted GSC tumorigenesis through the FOXM1 axis. Our work uncovers a novel function for ALKBH5 in maintaining GSC tumorigenicity and provides insight into critical roles of the m6A RNA methylation in human brain tumor.

Virus-Host Interactome Reveals the Unique Blockage of Host RNAi Machinery by the Zika Virus Capsid

Project description:The recent outbreaks of Zika virus (ZIKV) and its association with birth defects known as Congenital Zika Syndrome warrant investigation on the molecular processes related to its infection and pathogenesis. Among the flavivirus family, only ZIKV is linked to microcephaly as announced by World Health Organization, suggesting uniqueness of ZIKV infection compared to other members. By analyzing the ZIKV-host interactome, we found that the key microRNA (miRNA) processing enzyme Dicer was a leading target of ZIKV capsid protein in neural stem cells (NSCs), and its deficiency facilitated ZIKV infection. Mechanistically, ZIKV capsid can directly interact with Dicer and block its ribonuclease activity, dampening the production of host miRNAs that are essential for neurogenesis. Interestingly, this capsid-mediated immune evasion is specific to ZIKV because capsid proteins from other close flaviviruses, e.g., dengue, yellow fever and West Nile viruses, cannot bind to Dicer or inhibit its function. By molecular mapping, we defined a ZIKV capsid H41R mutant with loss of interaction to Dicer and no longer affecting its activity. More importantly, ZIKV H41R mutant exerted almost no impact on neurogenesis in vitro when expressed in NSCs compared to wild type capsid, and in utero infection of recombinant ZIKV-H41R mutant virus resulted in less inhibition on corticogenesis than wild-type ZIKV in mouse embryos. Interestingly, the epidemic ZIKV strain reinforces the capsid-Dicer interaction by two amino acid substitution compared to ancient Africa strain. Thus, our study demonstrated that capsid-dependent suppression of Dicer function is a unique determinant of ZIKV immune evasion and pathogenesis, which may unveil a new mechanism for ZIKV-mediated microcephaly.

The comprehensive interactomes of human adenosine RNA methylases and demethylases revealed by proximity labelling-mass spectrometry.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6,2′-O‐dimethyladenosine (m6Am) are two abundant modifications found in mRNAs and ncRNAs that can regulate multiple aspects of RNA biology and function mainly through regulation of interaction with specific RNA-binding proteins. Both modifications are linked to development, disease and stress response. To date three methylases and two demethylases have been identified that modify adenosines in mammalian (m)RNAs. Here we provide a comprehensive study of the in vivo protein-protein interactome of the key methyltransferases and demethylases using the BioID proximity biotinylation approach, which allows capturing of stable and short-lived interactions. Our results show that METTL3, METTL16, CAPAM, FTO and ALKBH5 occupy specific non overlapping protein interacting territories. Moreover, the individual interactomes help to understand the biological functions of these enzymes
