Project description:m6A modification plays vital roles in regulating mRNA lifecycle, thus controlling the biological process of multiple cell types. Here we intended to discover the binding sites of Mettl3 protein on mRNA of NK cells. Total RNAs were isolated from WT splenic NK cells, and subjected to standard RIP protocol. The library products corresponding to 200-500 bps were enriched, quantified and finally sequenced on Illumina Novaseq 6000 sequencer with PE150 model. Mettl3 binding sites were located primarily in the 3’ untranslated regions (UTRs), coding sequences (CDSs) region and near stop codons.
Project description:m6A-RIP sequencing of primary hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) isolated from Control and HSC-specific Mettl3-knockout (Mettl3 cKO) mouse liver tissues.
Project description:To identify the directly bound transcripts of METTL3, METTL14, and METTL16, RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (RIP-seq) was conducted HEK293T stablely expressing METTL3, METTL14, and METTL16, respectively. Briefly, HEK293T cells were infected with lentivirus, pmiRNA1-3 x Flag-METTL3, pmiRNA1-3 x Flag-METTL14, and pmiRNA1-3 x Flag-METTL14, to overexpress the three METTL family members with 3 x Flag fused in the N-terminal. Only the GFP-positive cells were used for study and expanded in DMEM medium.
Project description:Purpose: For comparing the transcript changes, we conducted mRNA-sequencing of splenic NK cells from Ncr1Cre-Mettl3fl/fl (cKO) and Mettl3fl/fl (WT) mice. Method: Firstly, The splenic NK cells (CD45.2+CD3-NK1.1+NKp46+) are purified via Fluorescence activated Cell Sorting (FACS), then frozen in -80 °C ultra-low temperature refrigerator, followed by High-throughput sequencing, in three replicates, using Illumina Hiseq 1500 platform. Result: Using standard data process workflow, we found the differentailly expressed genes in NK cells from Ncr1Cre-Mettl3fl/fl (cKO) mice, compared with those from Mettl3fl/fl (WT) mice.
Project description:label the cells overexpressed Myc tagged METTL3 and Flag tagged WTAP with 4-SU, the RNA bound by METT3,WTAP can be got by Myc or Flag IP followed by RNA isolation by using the TRIzol (Invitrogen) reagent by following the company manual.the RNA was then used for library preparation using a TruSeq™ RNA Sample Prep Kit v2 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.The libraries were sequenced using HiSeq2000 (Illumina) in single-read mode, creating reads with a length of 50 bp. Sequencing chemistry v2 (Illumina) was used and samples were multiplexed in two samples per lane. discovery of the binding motif of METTL3，WTAP in METTL3，WTAP overexpressed Human 293T cells
Project description:we find METTL3 associates with polyribosomes and promotes translation. METTL3 depletion inhibits translation, and both wild-type and catalytically inactive METTL3 promote translation when tethered to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of a reporter mRNA. Mechanistically, METTL3 enhances mRNA translation through an interaction with the translation initiation machinery. m6A seq in A549 and H1299 cells, RNA seq in METTL3 knockdown cells
