Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification pathway is hijacked by several RNA viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, making it an attractive host-directed target for development of broad-spectrum antivirals. Here, we show that histone methyltransferase G9a, through its interaction with METTL3, regulates SARS-CoV-2 mediated rewiring of host m6A methylome to ultimately promote turnover, abundance, secretion and/or phosphorylation of various viral receptors and proteases, transcription factors, cytokines/chemokines, coagulation & angiogenesis associated proteins, and fibrosis markers. More importantly, drugs targeting G9a and its associated protein EZH2 are potent inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 replication and reverse multi-omic effects of coronavirus infection in human alveolar epithelial cells (A549-hACE2) and COVID-19 patient PBMCs - with similar changes seen in multiorgan autopsy samples from COVID-19 patients. Altogether, we extend G9a function(s) beyond transcription to translational regulation during COVID-19 pathogenesis and show that targeting this master regulatory complex represents a new strategy (drug-class) that can be leveraged to combat emerging anti-viral resistance and infections.

Project description:N6-methyl-adenosine (m6A) is the most abundant modification on messenger RNAs and is linked to human diseases, but its functions in mammalian development are poorly understood. Here we reveal the evolutionary conservation and function of m6A by mapping the m6A methylome in mouse and human embryonic stem cells. Thousands of messenger and long noncoding RNAs show conserved m6A modification, including transcripts encoding core pluripotency transcription factors. m6A is enriched over 3M-bM-^@M-^Y untranslated regions at defined sequence motifs, and marks unstable transcripts, including transcripts turned over upon differentiation. Genetic inactivation or depletion of mouse and human Mettl3, one of the m6A methylases, led to m6A erasure on select target genes, prolonged Nanog expression upon differentiation, and impaired ESCM-bM-^@M-^Ys exit from self-renewal towards differentiation into several lineages in vitro and in vivo. Thus, m6A is a mark of transcriptome flexibility required for stem cells to differentiate to specific lineages. Examing m6A modification differences in two different cell types

Project description:Our study demonstrated that the expression of Igf2bp1 in activated microglia was significantly up-regulated, implying a role of Igf2bp1 in LPS-induced m6A modifications in microglia. To understand the roles of Igf2bp1 on LPS-induced m6A modification in microglia, we performed Igf2bp1 loss-of-function (LOF) approach. Microglia stimulated by LPS were transfected with either scrambled siRNA control or Igf2bp1 siRNA for 48 hours. To m6A modification profiles in control and Igf2bp1 LOF microglia were determined by MeRIP-seq analysis.

Project description:We report a novel translation-regulatory function of G9a, a histone methyltransferase and well-understood transcriptional repressor, in promoting hyperinflammation and lymphopenia; two hallmarks of endotoxin tolerance (ET)-associated chronic inflammatory complications. Using multiple approaches, we demonstrate that G9a interacts with multiple translation regulators during ET, particularly the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methyltransferase METTL3, to co-upregulate expression of certain m6A-modified mRNAs that encode immune-checkpoint and anti-inflammatory proteins. Mechanistically, G9a promotes m6A methyltransferase activity of METTL3 at translational/post-translational level by regulating its expression, its methylation, and its cytosolic localization during ET. Additionally, from a broader view extended from the G9a-METTL3-m6A translation regulatory axis, our translatome proteomics approach identified numerous “G9a-translated” proteins that unite the networks associated with inflammation dysregulation, T cell dysfunction, and systemic cytokine response. In sum, we identified a previously unrecognized function of G9a in protein-specific translation that can be leveraged to treat ET-related chronic inflammatory diseases.

Project description:In this study we performed MeRIP-Seq to study N6-methyl adenosine (m6A) and and N6,2′ -O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) modification of mRNA. We investigated the effect of the microbiota on the transcriptome and epitranscriptomic modifications in murine liver and cecum. We compared m6A/m modification profiles in cecum of conventionally raised (CONV) and germ-free (GF) mice. We additionally included GF mice colonised with the flora of CONV mice for four weeks (ex-GF), for which show that they exhibit similar patterns of the most abundant genera of gut bacteria as CONV mice. We added mice treated with several antibiotics to deplete the gut flora (abx)and vancomycin treated mice in which the genera Akkermansia, Escherichia/Shigella and Lactobacillus were enriched. Furthermore, we included GF mice colonised with the commensal bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila (Am), Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp) and Escherichia coli Nissle (Ec) and analysed their m6A/m modification profiles. In addition, we analysed changes in m6A/m- modified liver RNA for CONV, GF, and Am, Lp and Ec mice.

Project description:It is urgent and important to understand the relationship of the widespread severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus clade 2 (SARS-CoV-2) with host immune response and study the underlying molecular mechanism. RNA modification landscape of SARS-CoV-2 and its functional relevance to host cell innate immune response remain unknown. N6-methylation of adenosine (m6A) in RNA regulates many physiological and disease processes. Here, we investigated m6A modification of SARS-CoV-2 gene in regulating host cell innate immune response. Our data showed that SARS-CoV-2 virus has m6A modification enriched in 3' region of the viral genome. We also found that host cell m6A methyltransferase METTL3 depletion reduced viral load in infected cells, decreased m6A levels in SARS-CoV-2 and host genes, and m6A reduction in viral RNA increased RIG-1 binding and subsequently enhanced downstream innate immune signaling pathway and inflammatory gene expression. METTL3 expression is reduced and inflammatory genes are induced in severe COVID-19 patients. These findings will aid to understand the COVID-19 pathogenesis and help in designing future studies of regulating innate immunity for COVID-19 treatment.

Project description:Posttranscriptional and posttranslational modifications play crucial roles in plant immunity. However, how plant fine-tune these two modifications to activate antiviral immunity remains unknown. Here, we report that the m6A methyltransferase TaHAKAI is utilized by wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV) to increase viral genomic m6A modification and promotes viral replication. However, TaHAKAI also functions as an E3 ligase that targets the viral RNA silencing suppressor P2 for degradation and inhibits viral infection. A major allele of TaHAKAI in susceptible cultivar reduced the E3 ligase activity but not m6A methyltransferase activity, promoting viral infection. Interestingly, TaHAKAIR attenuates the mRNA stability of TaWPS1, the negative regulator of spike development, to increase panicle length and spikelet number by modulating its m6A modification. Our study reveals a new mechanisms of balancing disease resistance and yield by fine-tuning m6A modification and ubiquitination.
