The human AlkB homologue 4 interacts with proteins associated with transcription (methylation)

ABSTRACT: The Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent dioxygenase AlkB from E. coli is a demethylase which repairs alkyl lesions in DNA, as well as RNA, through a direct reversal mechanism. Humans possess nine AlkB homologues (ALKBH1-8 and FTO). ALKBH2 and ALKBH3 display demethylase activities corresponding to that of AlkB, and both ALKBH8 and FTO are RNA modification enzymes. The biochemical functions of the rest of the homologues are still unknown. To increase our knowledge on the functions of ALKBH4 and ALKBH7 we have here performed yeast two-hybrid screens to identify interaction partners of the two proteins. While no high-confidence hits were detected in the case of ALKBH7, several proteins associated with chromatin and/or involved in transcription were found to interact with ALKBH4. For all interaction partners, the regions mediating binding to ALKBH4 comprised domains previously reported to be involved in interaction with DNA or chromatin. Furthermore, some of these partners showed nuclear co-localization with ALKBH4. However, the global gene expression pattern was only marginally altered upon ALKBH4 over-expression, and larger effects were observed in the case of ALKBH7. Although the molecular function of both proteins remains to be revealed, our findings suggest a role for ALKBH4 in regulation of gene expression or chromatin state and support the previous association of ALKBH7 with spermatogenesis.

FTO regulates adult neurogenesis through modulating the dynamics of N6-methyladenosine

Project description:Fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) is a member of the Fe (II) and oxoglutarate-dependent AlkB oxygenase family, and has been linked to obesity and intellectual disability. However, the role of FTO in neurodevelopment and neurogenesis remains largely unknown. Here, we show that FTO is expressed in adult neural stem cells (aNSCs) and neurons, and displays dynamic expression during postnatal neurodevelopment. The loss of FTO leads to the decreased brain size and body weight. We found that FTO deficiency could reduce the proliferation and neuronal differentiation of aNSCs in vivo, which leads to the impaired learning and memory. Given the role of FTO as a demethylase of N6-methyladenosine (m6A), we further performed the genome-wide m6A profiling and observed the dynamic m6A modification during postnatal neurodevelopment. The loss of FTO could lead to the altered m6A modifications on the mRNAs of several key components of BDNF pathway. These results together suggest that FTO play important roles in neurogenesis and learning and memory.

Regulation of Gamma globin gene expression by AT2 and its associated proteins through the cAMP response element.

Project description:The upstream Gg-globin cAMP-response element (G-CRE) plays a role in regulating Gg-globin expression through binding of CREB1, cJun and ATF2. In this study we identified the ATF2 DNA-binding partners. ATF2 knockdown resulted in a significant reduction of g-globin expression accompanied by decreased ATF2 binding to the G-CRE. By contrast, stably expressed ATF2 in K562 cells increased g-globin, which was reduced by ATF2 knockdown. Moreover, a similar role for ATF2 on g-globin expression was observed in primary erythroid progenitors. To understand the role of ATF2 in g-globin expression, chromatographically purified G-CRE/ATF2-interacting proteins were subjected to mass spectrometry analysis; binding partners included CREB1, cJun, Brg1, and histone deacetylases among others. Co-immunoprecipitation and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay demonstrated interaction of these proteins with ATF2 in CD34+ cells undergoing erythroid differentiation which was correlated with g-globin expression during development. These results suggest synergism between developmental stage-specific recruitments of the ATF2 protein complex and expression of g-globin during erythropoiesis. Microarray studies in K562 cells support additional roles for ATF2 in hematopoiesis and chromatin remodeling Total RNA was isolated from K562 cells in culture following transfection with scrambled siRNA or ATF2 siRNA following which RNA was isolated and gene expression monitored

FTO alleviates psoriasis-like dermatitis through the regulation of FN1

Project description:FTO was found to inhibit keratinocyte inflammation and proliferation in both in vitro and in vivo settings, independent of m6A demethylase function. RNA-seq was used to identify fibronectin (FN1,FN) as a potential target for FTO. FTO does not rely on demethylase activity to decrease FN1 expression. The anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative effects of FTO on psoriasis partly depend on FN1. FTO may regulate the skipping of EDA exon in FN1.

FTO Regulates Activation of Rho GTPases Signaling as N6-methyladenosine RNA Demethylase and an Rhotekin Partner Protein

Project description:Reversible RNA modification of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays a critical role in post-transcriptional gene regulation1-13. Although the fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) has been previously shown to function as an m6A demethylase in nuclear RNA1,14, its exact function in disease pathogenesis remains a mystery. Here, we demonstrate that FTO suppresses the activation of Rho GTPase signaling via both its demethylation activity and specific interaction with Rho effector, Rhotekin (RTKN)15. The knockdown of FTO activates RhoA and RhoC, induces stress fibres, and accelerates cell migration. Endogenous RTKN is highly expressed in certain cancer and cancer-derived cell lines16,17 with overexpression of RTKN leading to moderate activation of Rho18. We further found that overexpression of RTKN blocks nuclear import of FTO and traps FTO in the cytoplasm to mediate m6A demethylation of cytosolic mRNA, thereby changing gene expression by preventing m6A-dependent mRNA decay and translation. Our results illustrate how FTO represses Rho activation through m6A demethylation and direct interaction with RTKN, and shed new light on FTO-dependent post-transcriptional gene regulation in RTKN overexpressed cancers, which may provide a new direction for developing anti-cancer therapies.

Next Generation Sequencing and m6A sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Wild Type and genetic FTO knockdown ccRCC cells Transcriptomes

Project description:Purpose: FTO is an N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA demethylase. The goals of this study are to to identify functional mRNA targets of FTO m6A demethylase activity in VHL deficient ccRCC cells. We performed transcriptome wide m6A sequencing and RNA sequencing analysis of two independent FTO deficient and wild type ccRCC cell lines. Methods: We performed transcriptome wide m6A sequencing and RNA sequencing analysis of two independent FTO deficient (shFTO#2 and shFTO#5) and wild type ccRCC cell lines. Results: Analysis using exomePeak identified a total of 20,168 m6A peaks that are different between the shFTO cells and the control cells. A total of 2,680 and 4,049 m6A peaks showed a significant increase and decrease (p < 0.05), respectively, in abundance (normalized to input), in shFTO cells relative to Ctrl_cells, and they were thus termed hyper- and hypo-methylated m6A peaks, respectively. Through integrative analysis of the RNA-seq data, we identified 459 hypermethylated m6A peaks the RNA transcripts of which were significantly (p < 0.05) downregulated (255; Hyper-down) or upregulated (204; Hyper-up) in shFTO cells relative to Ctrl cells (Figure XB). Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of FTO driving transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology and m6A sequencing. Our results confirmed the functional role of FTO in mRNA demethylase and identify the targets of FTO. We conclude that FTO plays important role in mRNA destiny determination by m6A demethylase activity.

FTO mediates LINE1 m6A demethylation and chromatin regulation in mESCs and mouse tissues

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in mammalian messenger RNA (mRNA). It is installed by writer proteins and can be reversed by erasers. FTO was the first RNA demethylase shown to catalyze oxidative demethylation of m6A in RNA. Despite extensive studies, the main physiological substrates of FTO and the related functional pathways remain elusive in many systems, in particular during early mammalian development. Here, we show that FTO mediates the m6A demethylation of chromosome-associated repeat RNAs in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), especially the long-interspersed element-1 family (LINE1) RNA, thereby affecting their abundances to regulate chromatin state.
