METTL18-mediated histidine methylation on RPL3 modulates translation elongation for proteostasis maintenance.

Project description:Protein methylation occurs predominantly on lysine and arginine residues, but histidine also serves as a substrate for the modification. However, a limited number of enzymes responsible for this modification have been reported. Moreover, the biological role of histidine methylation has remained poorly understood. Here, we report that human METTL18 is a histidine methyltransferase for the ribosomal protein RPL3 and that the modification specifically slows ribosome traverse on tyrosine codons, allowing the proper folding of synthesized proteins. By performing an in vitro methylation assay with a methyl donor analog and quantitative mass spectrometry, we found that His245 of RPL3 is methylated at the τ-N position by METTL18. Structural comparison of the modified and unmodified ribosomes showed stoichiometric modification and suggested a role in translation tuning. Indeed, genome-wide ribosome profiling revealed suppressed ribosomal translocation at tyrosine codons by RPL3 methylation. Because the slower elongation provides enough time for nascent protein folding, RPL3 methylation protects cells from the cellular aggregation of Tyr-rich proteins. Our results reveal histidine methylation as an example of a “ribosome code” that ensures proteome integrity in cells.

METTL18-mediated histidine methylation on RPL3 modulates translation elongation for proteostasis maintenance

Project description:In addition to predominant protein methylation on lysine and arginine residues, histidine also serves as a substrate for the modification.

Here, we reported that human METTL18 is a histidine methyltransferase for ribosomal protein RPL3 and that the modification specifically slows ribosome traverse on tyrosine codons, allowing proper folding of synthesized proteins. Harnessing in vitro methylation assay with methyl-donor analogue and quantitative mass spectrometry, we identified that His245 of RPL3 is methylated at τ-N position by METTL18.

Human METTL18 is a histidine-specific methyltransferase that targets RPL3 and affects ribosome biogenesis and function

Project description:Methylation is a common post-translational modification that occurs primarily on lysine and arginine, but also on some other residues, such as histidine. METTL18 is the last uncharacterized member of a group of human methyltransferases (MTases) that mainly exert lysine methylation, and here we set out to elucidate its function. We found METTL18 to be a nuclear protein that contains a functional nuclear localization signal and accumulates in nucleoli. Recombinant METTL18 methylated a single protein in nuclear extracts and in isolated ribosomes from METTL18 knock-out (KO) cells. This protein was identified as 60S ribosomal protein L3 (RPL3), and we also performed an RPL3 interactomics screen and identified METTL18 as the most significantly enriched MTase. Protein mass spectrometry and amino acid analyses revealed that His-245 in RPL3 carries a 3-methylhistidine (3MH; also referred to as t-methylhistidine) modification, which was absent in METTL18 KO cells. In addition, both recombinant and endogenous METTL18 were found to be monomethylated at His-154, likely resulting from auto-methylation, and further corroborating METTL18 as a histidine-specific MTase. Finally, METTL18 KO cells displayed altered pre-rRNA processing, decreased polysomes formation and codon-specific changes in mRNA translation, indicating that METTL18-mediated methylation of RPL3 is important for optimal ribosome biogenesis and function. In conclusion, we have here established METTL18 as the second human histidine-specific protein MTase, and demonstrated its functional relevance.

METTL18 Ensures Pancreatic Function by Maintaining Proper Translation and Proteostasis

Project description:Methyltransferases fine-tune various biomolecules by site-specific methylation. METTL18, an N3-position-specific histidine methyltransferase, modifies H245 of the ribosomal protein RPL3 (uL3), thereby regulating translation dynamics and proteostasis. However, the physiological role of this enzyme in vivo remains to be elucidated. Here, we show that METTL18 is essential for pancreatic function by regulating translation and suppressing protein aggregation. Mettl18 knockout (KO) mice exhibited partial preweaning lethality, and the surviving mice showed a marked reduction in N3-histidine methylation in the pancreas, diabetic phenotypes, and accumulation of pancreatitis-associated proteins. Ribosome profiling in a pancreatic acinar cell line revealed that loss of METTL18 caused global translational alterations, including accelerated elongation at proline codons. The improper ribosome traverse compromises protein folding, resulting in the aggregation of pancreatitis-associated proteins, including Reg1, and activation of the unfolded protein response. Our findings establish histidine methylation as a physiologically important post-translational modification and highlight METTL18 as a key regulator of pancreatic function through the maintenance of proteostasis.

Comprehensive transcriptome analysis of the Mettl18-deficient embryos

Project description:Histidine methylation is an evolutionarily conserved but poorly understood post-translational modification. METTL18 is known to catalyze histidine Nτ-methylation in vitro, yet its physiological functions in mammals remain unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis of gene expression changes in embryos of wild-type and Mettl18-deficient mice using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).
