FTO demethyltion of N6-methyladenosine depends on the RRACH motif [m6A-seq]

ABSTRACT: The fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) protein is a well-characterized demethylase that removes N6-methyladenosine (m6A) from animal mRNAs. However, it is unclear yet how the demethylation operates in living cells. In this study, we applied genome-wide approaches to study how FTO finds its demethylation targets in human cells. We overexpressed FTO in human HeLa cells, demonstrating that FTO effectively removes m6A from the RRACH motif enriched in the 3’UTR regions and leaves m6A at other motifs unaffected. RRACH elements are clearly enriched at FTO binding sites; however, m6A has a lower tendency to be removed from the FTO-bound RRACH. Taken together with the experimental validaton results, we propose a model in which FTO effectivly recognizes m6A-containing RRACH motifs in RNAs, leading to a faster demethylation and dissociation kinetic than the association, and consequently undectable FTO-mRNA association. However, when FTO binds to the non-m6A RRACH motif, the binding has a lower dissociation kinetics, yielding the detectable FTO binding signals which would enable FTO to have roles in regulating other mRNA processing events.

Quantitative Proteomics of Mouse Liver (FTO-KO,WT) in response to DEN injection

Project description:Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the FTO gene encoding a m6A demthylase are associated with obesity and cancer development. However, the functional role of FTO in the developemnt of progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as a proteotypic obesity-associated cancer remains unclear. Here, we have generated mice with hepatic FTO deficiency (FTOL-KO) and subjected them to DEN induced HCC-development. FTOL-KO mice exhibit increased HCC burden. While control mice exhibit a dynamic regulation of FTO upon induction of liver damage, this response is abrogated in mice lacking FTO. Proteomic analyses revealed that liver damage-induced increases in FTO expression promotes m6A-demethylation of CUL4A reducing its protein expression. Functionally, knockdown of CUL4A restores the increased hepatocyte proliferation observed upon loss of FTO. Collectively, our study reveals a protective role for FTO-dependent dynamic m6A mRNA demethylation of CUL4A in the initiation of HCC development.

The RNA demethylase FTO controls m6A marking on SARS-CoV-2 and classifies COVID-19 severity in patients

Project description:The RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays a key role in the life cycles of several RNA viruses. Whether this applies to SARS-CoV-2 and whether m6A affects the outcome of COVID-19 disease is still poorly explored. Here we report that the RNA demethylase FTO strongly affects both m6A marking of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 severity. By m6A profiling of SARS-CoV-2, we confirmed in infected cultured cells and showed for the first time in vivo in hamsters that the regions encoding TRS_L and the nucleocapsid protein are multiply marked by m6A, preferentially within RRACH motifs that are specific to β-coronaviruses and well conserved across SARS-CoV-2 variants. In cells, downregulation of the m6A demethylase FTO, occurring upon SARS-CoV-2 infection, increased m6A marking of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and slightly promoted viral replication. In COVID-19 patients, a negative correlation was found between FTO expression and both SARS-CoV-2 expression and disease severity. FTO emerged as a classifier of disease severity and hence a potential stratifier of COVID-19 patients.

The Obesity-associated Fto gene regulates activity of the dopaminergic midbrain circuitry [FTO KO]

Project description:Here we use MeRIP-Seq to analyze global adenosine methylation (m6A) in mRNAs in the midbrain and striatum of Fto-deficient mice. We find that Fto deficiency leads to increased methylation within a subset of mRNAs important for neuronal signaling, including many within the dopaminergic signaling pathway. Collectively, our results show that Fto regulates demethylation of specific mRNAs in vivo, and this activity relates to control of dopaminergic transmission.

RNA demethylation induces increased crop biomass and productivity in the field

Project description:We performed the transcriptome-wide m6A profiling (MeRIP) with poly(A) RNA samples isolated from shoots and roots of wild type (Nipp), FTO homogeneous transgenic (FTO) and demethylation activity dead mutant variant of FTO transgenic (FTOmut) rice plants. The m6A motif and the distribution of the detected m6A sites along transcripts were consistent with reported results from previous m6A sequencing studies in plants. We then analyzed the differentially methylated m6A sites in poly(A) RNA species including those transcribed from gene loci and from repetitive elements (repeat RNAs). Compared to Nipp plants, both shoots and roots of FTO transgenic plants had showed more hypomethylated m6A peaks (hypo-m6A, 222 in shoots and 3313 in roots) than hypermethylated m6A peaks (hyper-m6A, 63 in shoots and 127 in roots) in mRNAs, while FTOmut rice had showed more hyper-m6A in shoots (349 for hyper vs 31 for hypo) but more hypo-m6A in roots (291 for hyper vs 380 for hypo) than the WT. The hypomethylated m6A peaks in FTO transgenic plants were highly enriched within 3'UTR. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of these identified hypomethylated m6A-containing coding genes in both FTO transgenic rice shoots and roots revealed an enrichment for functional annotations related to “cellular homeostatic process”, “one-carbon and small molecule metabolic process”, and “gene expression”. We also found the extent of m6A hypomethylation was more pronounced for repeat RNAs than for mRNA species.The quantitative RNA-seq analysis that included ERCC spike-in controls confirmed that FTO plants do indeed accumulate higher overall levels of poly(A) RNA than do WT shoots and roots. Above all, FTO mediated m6A demethylation in plant mRNA and repeats RNA, leading to the activation of transcription.

N6-methyladenosine modification is essential for prostate cancer cells

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) is a pivotal mechanism controlling mRNA fate in cells. RNA m6A modification is regulated by the functional balance between methyltransferases and demethylases. Here we demonstrated that FTO-IT1 enhancer RNA (eRNA), a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) transcribed from the last intron of FTO gene is significantly upregulated in CRPC and aggressive tumors compared to primary tumors. FTO-IT1 knockout by CRISPR/Cas9 almost completely blocks growth and G1-S cell cycle transition of both androgen-sensitive and castration-resistant prostate cancer cells. Meanwhile, the mRNA m6A was dramatically increased in FTO-IT knockout PCa cells and we identified FTO-IT1 as a binding partner of FTO. From m6A-seq, we unexpectedly found hypermethylated m6A associated with upregulated levels of the mRNAs for p53 signaling pathway genes in 22Rv1 prostate cancer cells. Mechanistic study showed that FTO-IT1 recruits FTO to the P53 target mRNA to promote their m6A demethylation, which leads to their degradation.

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

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification on mammalian messenger RNA (mRNA). It is installed by a writer complex and can be reversed by erasers such as the fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO). Despite extensive research, the primary physiological substrates of FTO in mammalian tissues and development remain elusive. Here, we show that FTO mediates m6A demethylation of long-interspersed element-1 (LINE1) RNA in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), regulating LINE1 RNA abundance and the local chromatin state, which in turn modulates transcription of LINE1-containing genes. FTO-mediated LINE1 RNA m6A demethylation also plays regulatory roles in shaping chromatin state and gene expression during mouse oocyte and embryonic development. Our results suggest broad effects of LINE1 RNA m6A demethylation by FTO in mammals.
