Human TRMT112-Methyltransferase Network Consists of Seven Partners Interacting with a Common Co-Factor.

ABSTRACT: Methylation is an essential epigenetic modification mainly catalysed by S-Adenosyl methionine-dependent methyltransferases (MTases). Several MTases require a cofactor for their metabolic stability and enzymatic activity. TRMT112 is a small evolutionary conserved protein that acts as a co-factor and activator for different MTases involved in rRNA, tRNA and protein methylation. Using a SILAC screen, we pulled down seven methyltransferases-N6AMT1, WBSCR22, METTL5, ALKBH8, THUMPD2, THUMPD3 and TRMT11-as interaction partners of TRMT112. We showed that TRMT112 stabilises all seven MTases in cells. TRMT112 and MTases exhibit a strong mutual feedback loop when expressed together in cells. TRMT112 interacts with its partners in a similar way; however, single amino acid mutations on the surface of TRMT112 reveal several differences as well. In summary, mammalian TRMT112 can be considered as a central "hub" protein that regulates the activity of at least seven methyltransferases.

The human 18S rRNA m6A methyltransferase METTL5 is stabilized by TRMT112.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has recently been found abundantly on messenger RNA and shown to regulate most steps of mRNA metabolism. Several important m6A methyltransferases have been described functionally and structurally, but the enzymes responsible for installing one m6A residue on each subunit of human ribosomes at functionally important sites have eluded identification for over 30 years. Here, we identify METTL5 as the enzyme responsible for 18S rRNA m6A modification and confirm ZCCHC4 as the 28S rRNA modification enzyme. We show that METTL5 must form a heterodimeric complex with TRMT112, a known methyltransferase activator, to gain metabolic stability in cells. We provide the first atomic resolution structure of METTL5-TRMT112, supporting that its RNA-binding mode differs distinctly from that of other m6A RNA methyltransferases. On the basis of similarities with a DNA methyltransferase, we propose that METTL5-TRMT112 acts by extruding the adenosine to be modified from a double-stranded nucleic acid.

The translation initiation factor EIF4E5 from Leishmania: crystal structure and interacting partners.

Project description:The mRNA cap-binding protein, eIF4E, mediates the recognition of the mRNA 5' end and, as part of the heterotrimeric eIF4F complex, facilitates the recruitment of the ribosomal subunits to initiate eukaryotic translation. Various regulatory events involving eIF4E and a second eIF4F subunit, eIF4G, are required for proper control of translation initiation. In pathogenic trypanosomatids, six eIF4Es and five eIF4Gs have been described, several forming different eIF4F-like complexes with yet unresolved roles. EIF4E5 is one of the least known of the trypanosomatid eIF4Es and has not been characterized in Leishmania species. Here, we used immunoprecipitation assays, combined with mass-spectrometry, to identify major EIF4E5 interacting proteins in L. infantum. A constitutively expressed, HA-tagged, EIF4E5 co-precipitated mainly with EIF4G1 and binding partners previously described in Trypanosoma brucei, EIF4G1-IP, RBP43 and the 14-3-3 proteins. In contrast, no clear co-precipitation with EIF4G2, also previously reported, was observed. EIF4E5 also co-precipitated with protein kinases, possibly associated with cell-cycle regulation, selected RNA binding proteins and histones. Phosphorylated residues were identified and mapped to the Leishmania-specific C-terminal end. Mutagenesis of the tryptophan residue (W53) postulated to mediate interactions with protein partners or of a neighbouring tryptophan conserved in Leishmania (W45) did not substantially impair the identified interactions. Finally, the crystal structure of Leishmania EIF4E5 evidences remarkable differences in the eIF4G interfacing region, when compared with human eIF4E-1 and with its Trypanosoma orthologue. Mapping of its C-terminal end near the cap-binding site also imply relevant differences in cap-binding function and/or regulation.

THUMPD3-TRMT112 is a m2G methyltransferase working on a broad range of tRNA substrates.

Project description:Post-transcriptional modifications affect tRNA biology and are closely associated with human diseases. However, progress on the functional analysis of tRNA modifications in metazoans has been slow because of the difficulty in identifying modifying enzymes. For example, the biogenesis and function of the prevalent N2-methylguanosine (m2G) at the sixth position of tRNAs in eukaryotes has long remained enigmatic. Herein, using a reverse genetics approach coupled with RNA-mass spectrometry, we identified that THUMP domain-containing protein 3 (THUMPD3) is responsible for tRNA: m2G6 formation in human cells. However, THUMPD3 alone could not modify tRNAs. Instead, multifunctional methyltransferase subunit TRM112-like protein (TRMT112) interacts with THUMPD3 to activate its methyltransferase activity. In the in vitro enzymatic assay system, THUMPD3-TRMT112 could methylate all the 26 tested G6-containing human cytoplasmic tRNAs by recognizing the characteristic 3'-CCA of mature tRNAs. We also showed that m2G7 of tRNATrp was introduced by THUMPD3-TRMT112. Furthermore, THUMPD3 is widely expressed in mouse tissues, with an extremely high level in the testis. THUMPD3-knockout cells exhibited impaired global protein synthesis and reduced growth. Our data highlight the significance of the tRNA: m2G6/7 modification and pave a way for further studies of the role of m2G in sperm tRNA derived fragments.

Decorin interacting network: A comprehensive analysis of decorin-binding partners and their versatile functions.

Project description:Decorin, a prototype small leucine-rich proteoglycan, regulates a vast array of cellular processes including collagen fibrillogenesis, wound repair, angiostasis, tumor growth, and autophagy. This functional versatility arises from a wide array of decorin/protein interactions also including interactions with its single glycosaminoglycan side chain. The decorin-binding partners encompass numerous categories ranging from extracellular matrix molecules to cell surface receptors to growth factors and enzymes. Despite the diversity of the decorin interacting network, two main roles emerge as prominent themes in decorin function: maintenance of cellular structure and outside-in signaling, culminating in anti-tumorigenic effects. Here we present contemporary knowledge regarding the decorin interacting network and discuss in detail the biological relevance of these pleiotropic interactions, some of which could be targeted by therapeutic interventions.

Outcomes of Direct Oral Anticoagulants Co-Prescribed with Common Interacting Medications.

Project description:Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) can potentially interact with multiple prescription medications. We examined the prevalence of co-prescription of DOACs with interacting medications and its impact on outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients with AF treated with a DOAC from 2010 to 2017 at the Mayo Clinic and co-prescribed medications that are inhibitors or inducers of the P-glycoprotein and/or Cytochrome P450 3A4 pathways were identified. The outcomes of stroke, transient ischemic attack, or systemic embolism, major bleeding, and minor bleeds were compared between patients with and without an enzyme inducer. Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the association between interacting medications and outcomes. Of 8,576 patients with AF (mean age 70 ± 12 years, 35% female) prescribed a DOAC (38.6% apixaban, 35.8% rivaroxaban, 25.6% dabigatran), 2,610 (30.4%) were on at least 1 interacting agent: the majority were on an enzyme inhibitor (n = 2,592). Prescribed medications included non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (n = 1,412; 16.5%), antiarrhythmic medication (n = 790; 9.2%), antidepressant (n = 659; 7.7%), antibiotic/antifungal (n = 77; 0.90%), antiepileptics (n = 17; 0.2%) and immunosuppressant medications (n = 19; 0.2%). Patients on an interacting medication were more likely to receive a lower dose of DOAC than indicated by the manufacturer's labeling (15.0% vs 11.4%, p <0.0001). In multivariable analysis, co-prescription of an enzyme inhibitor was not associated with risk of any bleeding (hazard ratio 0.87 [0.71 to 1.05], p = 0.15) or stroke, transient ischemic attack, or systemic embolism (hazard ratio 0.82 [0.51 to 1.31], p = 0.39). In conclusion, DOACs are co-prescribed with medications with potential interactions in 30.4% of patients with AF. Co-prescription of DOACs and these drugs are not associated with increased risk of adverse embolic or bleeding outcomes in our cohort.

Silk gland factor-2, involved in fibroin gene transcription, consists of LIM homeodomain, LIM-interacting, and single-stranded DNA-binding proteins.

Project description:SGF-2 binds to promoter elements governing posterior silk gland-specific expression of the fibroin gene in Bombyx mori. We purified SGF-2 and showed that SGF-2 contains at least four gene products: the silkworm orthologues of LIM homeodomain protein Awh, LIM domain-binding protein (Ldb), a sequence-specific single-stranded DNA-binding protein (Lcaf), and the silk protein P25/fibrohexamerin (fhx). Using co-expression of these factors in Sf9 cells, Awh, Ldb, and Lcaf proteins were co-purified as a ternary complex that bound to the enhancer sequence in vitro. Lcaf interacts with Ldb as well as Awh through the conserved regions to mediate transcriptional activation in yeast. Misexpression of Awh in transgenic silkworms induces ectopic expression of the fibroin gene in the middle silk glands, where Ldb and Lcaf are expressed. Taken together, this study demonstrates that SGF-2 is a multisubunit activator complex containing Awh. Moreover, our results suggest that the Ldb·Lcaf protein complex serves as a scaffold to facilitate communication between transcriptional control elements.

Stomatal CO<sub>2</sub>/bicarbonate sensor consists of two interacting protein kinases, Raf-like HT1 and non-kinase-activity requiring MPK12/MPK4.

Project description:The continuing rise in the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration causes stomatal closing, thus critically affecting transpirational water loss, photosynthesis, and plant growth. However, the primary CO2 sensor remains unknown. Here, we show that elevated CO2 triggers interaction of the MAP kinases MPK4/MPK12 with the HT1 protein kinase, thus inhibiting HT1 kinase activity. At low CO2, HT1 phosphorylates and activates the downstream negatively regulating CBC1 kinase. Physiologically relevant HT1-mediated phosphorylation sites in CBC1 are identified. In a genetic screen, we identify dominant active HT1 mutants that cause insensitivity to elevated CO2. Dominant HT1 mutants abrogate the CO2/bicarbonate-induced MPK4/12-HT1 interaction and HT1 inhibition, which may be explained by a structural AlphaFold2- and Gaussian-accelerated dynamics-generated model. Unexpectedly, MAP kinase activity is not required for CO2 sensor function and CO2-triggered HT1 inhibition and stomatal closing. The presented findings reveal that MPK4/12 and HT1 together constitute the long-sought primary stomatal CO2/bicarbonate sensor upstream of the CBC1 kinase in plants.

The METTL5-TRMT112 N<sup>6</sup>-methyladenosine methyltransferase complex regulates mRNA translation via 18S rRNA methylation.

Project description:Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) have long been known to carry chemical modifications, including 2'O-methylation, pseudouridylation, N6-methyladenosine (m6A), and N6,6-dimethyladenosine. While the functions of many of these modifications are unclear, some are highly conserved and occur in regions of the ribosome critical for mRNA decoding. Both 28S rRNA and 18S rRNA carry single m6A sites, and while the methyltransferase ZCCHC4 has been identified as the enzyme responsible for the 28S rRNA m6A modification, the methyltransferase responsible for the 18S rRNA m6A modification has remained unclear. Here, we show that the METTL5-TRMT112 methyltransferase complex installs the m6A modification at position 1832 of human 18S rRNA. Our work supports findings that TRMT112 is required for METTL5 stability and reveals that human METTL5 mutations associated with microcephaly and intellectual disability disrupt this interaction. We show that loss of METTL5 in human cancer cell lines and in mice regulates gene expression at the translational level; additionally, Mettl5 knockout mice display reduced body size and evidence of metabolic defects. While recent work has focused heavily on m6A modifications in mRNA and their roles in mRNA processing and translation, we demonstrate here that deorphanizing putative methyltransferase enzymes can reveal previously unappreciated regulatory roles for m6A in noncoding RNAs.

Identification of novel interacting partners of Sirtuin6.

Project description:SIRT6 is a member of the Sirtuin family of histone deacetylases that has been implicated in inflammatory, aging and metabolic pathways. Some of its actions have been suggested to be via physical interaction with NFκB and HIF1α and transcriptional regulation through its histone deacetylase activity. Our previous studies have investigated the histone deacetylase activity of SIRT6 and explored its ability to regulate the transcriptional responses to an inflammatory stimulus such as TNFα. In order to develop a greater understanding of SIRT6 function we have sought to identify SIRT6 interacting proteins by both yeast-2-hybrid and co-immunoprecipitation studies. We report a number of interacting partners which strengthen previous findings that SIRT6 functions in base excision repair (BER), and novel interactors which suggest a role in nucleosome and chromatin remodeling, the cell cycle and NFκB biology.
