Identification of putative reader proteins of RNA 5-methylcytosine and its derivatives in Caenorhabditis elegans

ABSTRACT: Methylation of carbon-5 of cytosines (m5C) is a conserved post-transcriptional nucleotide modification of RNA with widespread distribution across organisms. m5C has been shown to participate in mRNA transport and maintain mRNA stability through its recognition by the reader proteins ALYREF and YBX1, respectively. We recently showed that m5C is required for Caenorhabditis elegans development and fertility under heat stress. To contribute to the understanding of how m5C and its oxidative derivatives mediate their functions, we developed RNA baits bearing modified cytosines in diverse structural contexts to pulldown potential readers in C. elegans. Our mass spectrometry analyses reveal unique binding proteins for each of the modifications. We validate our dataset by demonstrating that the nematode ALYREF homologues ALY-1 and ALY-2 preferentially bind m5C in vitro. The dataset presented here serves as an important scientific resource that will support the discovery of new functions of m5C and its derivatives.

Translational adaptation to heat stress is mediated by 5-methylcytosine RNA modification in Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:In order to fulfil a wide range of cellular functions, RNA molecules contain, in addition to the four canonical bases, a large number of chemically modified structures. Among those, the methylation of carbon-5 of cytosines (m5C) is an abundant, widespread mark in different classes of RNAs. m5C is catalysed by DNMT2 and by seven members of the NSUN family of enzymes. While some m5C-methyltransferases have been studied individually and implicated in phenotypes observed in organisms ranging from yeast to humans, it remains unclear how the m5C methylome acts to sustain development in homeostasis and stress. Here, using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism, we developed the first organism devoid of detectable m5C in RNA, providing strong evidence that this modification and its derivatives are non-essential for the nematode’s development and fertility under standard laboratory conditions. We further used this genetic tool to determine the localisation of m5C sites in different RNA classes, and showed that NSUN-4 acts as a multisite-specific tRNA/rRNA methyltransferase in the mitochondria. In addition, we show that m5C is required for adaptation to temperature changes, as animals devoid of this modification present temperature-sensitive fertility defects. At the molecular level, we show that loss of m5C leads to increased ribosome pausing at triplets encoding for leucine and proline, the most frequently methylated tRNA isoacceptors in C. elegans. This is correlated with reduced translation efficiency of transcripts enriched in these amino acids. Finally, we found translation of Leu-UUG codons to be the most strongly affected upon heat shock, suggesting a role of m5C wobble methylation in the adaptation to heat stress.

Micro-proteomics with iterative data analysis: proteome analysis in C. elegans at the single worm level

Project description:Proteomics studies typically analyze proteins at a population level, using extracts prepared from tens of thousands to millions of cells. The resulting measurements correspond to average values across the cell population and can mask considerable variation in protein expression and function between individual cells or organisms. Here, we report the development of micro-proteomics for the analysis of C. elegans, a eukaryote composed of 959 somatic cells and ~1,500 germ cells, measuring the worm proteome at a single organism level to a depth of ~ 3,000 proteins. This includes detection of proteins across a wide dynamic range of expression levels (> 6 orders of magnitude), including many chromatin-associated factors involved in chromosome structure and gene regulation. We apply the micro-proteomics workflow to measure the global proteome response to heat-shock in individual nematodes. This shows variation between individual animals in the magnitude of proteome response following heat-shock, including variable induction of heat-shock proteins. The micro-proteomics pipeline thus facilitates the investigation of stochastic variation in protein expression between individuals within an isogenic population of C. elegans. All data described in this study are available online via the Encyclopedia of Proteome Dynamics (http://www.peptracker.com/epd), an open access, searchable database resource.

Comprehensive analysis of mRNA 5-methylcytosine modification in Eimeria tenella oocysts

Project description:5-methylcytosine (m5C) is a type of RNA modifications reported to regulate diverse biological processes. However, the distribution and biological functions of m5C in E. tenella mRNAs remain largely unknown. Herein, we report transcriptome-wide profiling of mRNA m5C in E. tenella by applying m5C RNA immunoprecipitation followed by a deep-sequencing approach (m5C-RIP-seq). Our data showed that m5C peaks were distributed across the whole mRNA body. There were 2813 hypermethylated and 1850 hypomethylated m5C peaks in sporulated oocysts compared with unsporulated oocysts. Further joint analysis showed a positive correlation between m5C modification and gene expression levels. The mRNA sequencing and m5C-RIP-seq data were consistent with the results of the quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) and m5C-RIP-qPCR, respectively. Gene ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis predicated diverse biological functions and pathways, including microtubule motor activity, helicase activity, cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and spliceosome. Meanwhile, stage-specific gene expression signatures of m5C-related enzymes were observed. Altogether, our findings revealed the transcriptional significance of m5C modification in E. tenella oocysts, providing clues for in-depth research.

Profiling of 5-methylcytosine (m5C) methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type

Project description:Methylation of carbon 5 in cytosine (5-methylcytosine; m5C) is a well-characterized DNA modification, and is also predominantly reported in highly abundant noncoding RNAs, such as rRNA and tRNA, in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. However, the distribution and biological functions of m5C in plant mRNAs remain largely unknown. Here we develop an m5C RNA immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing approach (m5C-RIP-seq) to achieve transcriptome-wide profiling of RNA m5C in Arabidopsis thaliana. Liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and dot blot analyses reveal a dynamic pattern of m5C mRNA modification in various tissues and at different developmental stages. m5C-RIP-seq analysis identifies 6,045 putative m5C peaks in 4,465 expressed genes in young seedlings. m5C is enriched in coding sequences with two peaks located immediately after start codons and before stop codons, and is associated with mRNAs with low translation activity. We further show that a RNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase, tRNA specific methyltransferase 4B (TRM4B), exhibits the m5C mRNA methyltransferase activity. Mutations in TRM4B display defects in root development and decreased m5C levels in root mRNA. Furthermore, TRM4B affects transcript levels of the genes involved in root development, which is positively correlated with their mRNA stability and m5C levels. Our results suggest that m5C in mRNA is a new epitranscriptome marker widely distributed in plant genes, and that regulation of this modification is an integral part of gene regulatory networks underlying plant development.

NSUN2-mediated 5-methylcytosine enhances purine metabolism through ALYREF in retinoblastoma

Project description:5-methylcytosine (m5C) RNA modification installed by methyltransferase NSUN2 regulates gene expression and cell fate. Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common primary intraocular tumor in children. However, the functional role of m5C modification in retinoblastoma remains unclear. Here, we show that 5-methylcytosine significantly promotes the progression of retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma samples showed increased m5C levels, indicating a poor prognosis. Changes in global m5C modification were highly associated with tumor progression in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, NSUN2 stabilized the methylated PFAS mRNA, a tumor promoter in retinoblastoma. Our work uncovers a critical function for m5C methylation in retinoblastoma and provides additional insight into the understanding of m5C modification.
