M6A in 5â untranslated regions promotes cap-independent translation of mRNA

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a widespread internal RNA modification whose function is poorly understood. Here we report that m6A residues within the 5'UTR promote a novel form of cap-independent translation which is mediated through an interaction between m6A residues and the translation initiation factor, eIF3. We present eIF3a PAR-iCLIP data which demonstrate that eIF3 predominantly binds mRNAs within the 5'UTR. eIF3 binding sites are also in proximity to m6A residues within the 5'UTR of cellular mRNAs. Two replicates of eIF3a PAR-iCLIP in HEK293T cells.

Protein translation typically begins with the recruitment of the 43S ribosomal complex to the 5' cap of mRNAs by a cap-binding complex. However, some transcripts are translated in a cap-independent manner through poorly understood mechanisms. Here, we show that mRNAs containing N(6)-methyladenosine (m(6)A) in their 5' UTR can be translated in a cap-independent manner. A single 5' UTR m(6)A directly binds eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3), which is sufficient to recruit the 43S complex to ini ...[more]

m6A in 5’ untranslated regions promotes cap-independent translation of mRNA

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a widespread internal RNA modification whose function is poorly understood. Here we report that m6A residues within the 5'UTR promote a novel form of cap-independent translation which is mediated through an interaction between m6A residues and the translation initiation factor, eIF3. We performed m6A profiling in cells subjected to heat shock stress and observed increased 5'UTR methylation after heat shock. For these studies, we used single-nucleotide resolution m6A mapping (miCLIP), which enables the detection of m6A residues separately from m6Am residues. Thus, the goal of these experiments was to identify m6A residues which are increased in the 5'UTR after heat shock stress.

eIF3 PAR-CLIP in 293T cells

Project description:Regulation of protein synthesis is fundamental for all aspects of eukaryotic biology by controlling development, homeostasis, and stress responses. The 13-subunit, 800-kDa eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) organizes initiation factor and ribosome interactions required for productive translation. However, current understanding of eIF3 function does not explain genetic evidence correlating eIF3 deregulation with tissue-specific cancers and developmental defects. Here we report the genome-wide discovery of human transcripts that interact with eIF3 using photo-activatable crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP). eIF3 binds to a highly specific programme of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) involved in cell growth control processes, including cell cycling, differentiation, and apoptosis, via the mRNA 5' untranslated region (5' UTR). Surprisingly, functional analysis of the interaction between eIF3 and two mRNAs encoding cell proliferation regulators, c-Jun and BTG1, reveals that eIF3 employs different modes of RNA stem loop binding to exert either translational activation or repression. Our findings illuminate a new role for eIF3 in governing a specialized repertoire of gene expression and suggest that binding of eIF3 to specific mRNAs could be targeted to control carcinogenesis. 293T cells were treated with 4-thiouridine and protein-RNA complexes were crosslinked, and eIF3-RNA complexes were immunoprecipitated.

Identification of the TXNIP IRES and characterization of the impact of regulatory IRES trans-acting factors

Project description:Translation is a tightly regulated and is predominantly controlled at the level of its initiation. Initiation occurs in a cap-dependent manner. Under stress conditions when cap-dependent translation is hampered, internal ribosome entry sites (IRESes) allow for cap-independent translation of certain mRNAs. IRES-dependent translation is commonly regulated by RNA-interacting proteins, known as IRES trans-acting factors (ITAFs). In the present study, we searched for new IRESes by identifying 5’ untranslated regions (UTRs) bound by the ITAF hnRNPA1. Using a PAR-iCLIP approach, we found the mRNA of thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP) bound by hnRNPA1. Upon verification of an IRES element within the 5’UTR of TXNIP, we determined additional interacting proteins, which predominantly appeared to interact with the IRES-regulatory second half of the 5’UTR. Amongst these PTB, FBP3, and GEMIN5 emerged as functional ITAFs. Finally, we found that the TXNIP IRES-inhibitory effect of PTB was dominant over the activating effect of FBP3, while it succumbed to the stimulatory function of GEMIN5. In summary, we identified and characterized a novel IRES within the 5’UTR of TXNIP, which is regulated by the ITAFs PTB, FBP3, and GEMIN5.

eIF3 Engages with 3’-UTR Termini of Highly Translated mRNAs in Neural Progenitor Cells [APA-Seq]

Project description:Stem cell differentiation involves a global increase in protein synthesis to meet the demands of specialized cell types. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this translational burst and the involvement of initiation factors remains largely unknown. Here, we investigate the roles of eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) in early differentiation of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Using Quick-irCLIP and alternative polyadenylation (APA)-Seq, we show eIF3 crosslinks to many neurologically relevant mRNAs in NPCs. Our data reveal eIF3 predominantly interacts with 3’ untranslated region (3’-UTR) termini of multiple mRNA isoforms, adjacent to the poly(A) tail. High eIF3 crosslinking at 3’-UTR termini of mRNAs correlates with high translational activity, as determined by ribosome profiling. We identify the transcriptional regulator inhibitor of DNA binding 2 (ID2) mRNA as a case in which active translation levels and eIF3 crosslinking are dramatically increased upon early NPC differentiation. Furthermore, we find that eIF3 engagement at 3’-UTR ends is dependent on polyadenylation. The results presented here show that eIF3 engages with 3’-UTR termini in highly translated mRNAs, supporting a role of mRNA circularization in the mechanisms governing mRNA translation in NPCs.

m6A in mRNA coding regions promotes translation via the RNA helicase-containing YTHDC2

Project description:Dynamic mRNA modification in the form of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) adds considerable richness and sophistication to gene regulation. The m6A mark is asymmetrically distributed along mature mRNAs, with a strong preference around the stop codon and 3’UTR. Nevertheless, approximately 35% of m6A residues are located within the coding region (CDS). It has been suggested that methylation in CDS slows down translation elongation by interfering the decoding process. However, neither the decoding feature of endogenous mRNAs nor the physiological significance of CDS m6A has been clearly defined. By integrating Ribo-seq and m6A-seq data sets, we found that CDS m6A methylation leads to ribosome pausing in a codon-specific manner. Unexpectedly, removing CDS m6A modification from these transcripts results in a further decrease of translation. A systemic analysis of RNA structural datasets revealed that CDS m6A methylation positively regulates translation by resolving mRNA secondary structures. We further demonstrate that the elongation-promoting effect of CDS methylation requires the RNA helicase-containing m6A reader YTHDC2. Our findings established the physiological significance of CDS methylation and uncovered non-overlapping function of m6A reader proteins.

N6-Adenosine methylation regulates the translation of insulin mRNA

Project description:Relatively little is known about the first step of insulin synthesis: the translation of the mRNA. Here we show that the translation of D. melanogaster insulin 2 mRNA (dilp2) is controlled by methylation of N6-adenosine (m6A) in the 3’ UTR. Mutations in the m6A writer Mettl3 and methylated residues in the dilp2 3’UTR decreased the levels of dilp2 mRNA associated with the polysomes and the total amount of dilp2 protein produced. This resulted in aberrant energy homeostasis and diabetic-like phenotypes consistent with the specific function of dilp2 in adult metabolism. Conserved m6A signatures were also identified in the 3’ UTRs of vertebrate insulin mRNAs. These data identify m6A as a key regulator of insulin protein synthesis and energy homeostasis in metazoans with important implications for diabetes and metabolic disease.

N6-methyladenosine Modulates Messenger RNA Translation Efficiency

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal messenger (mRNA) modification in mammalian mRNA. This modification is reversible and non-stoichiometric, which potentially adds an additional layer of variety and dynamic control of mRNA metabolism. The m6A-modified mRNA can be selectively recognized by the YTH family “reader” proteins. The preferential binding of m6A-containing mRNA by YTHDF2 is known to reduce the stability of the target transcripts; however, the exact effects of m6A on translation has yet to be elucidated. Here we show that another m6A reader protein, YTHDF1, promotes ribosome loading of its target transcripts. YTHDF1 forms a complex with translation initiation factors to elevate the translation efficiency of its bound mRNA. In a unified mechanism of translation control through m6A, the YTHDF2-mediated decay controls the lifetime of target transcripts; whereas, the YTHDF1-based translation promotion increases the translation efficiency to ensure effective protein production from relatively short-lived transcripts that are marked by m6A. PAR-CLIP and RIP was used to identify YTHDF1 binding sites followed by ribosome profling and RNA seq to assess the consequences of YTHDF1 siRNA knock-down

METTL3 promotes translation in human cancer 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
