METTL16 is a N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase that targets pre-mRNAs and various non-coding RNAs

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a highly dynamic RNA modification that has recently emerged as a key regulator of gene expression. While many m6A modifications are installed by the METTL3-METTL14 complex, others appear to be introduced independently, implying that additional human m6A methyltransferases remain to be identified. Using crosslinking and analysis of cDNA (CRAC), we reveal that the putative human m6A “writer” protein METTL16 binds to the U6 snRNA and other ncRNAs as well as numerous lncRNAs and pre-mRNAs. We demonstrate that METTL16 is responsible for N6-methylation of A43 of the U6 snRNA and identify the early U6 biogenesis factors La, LARP7 and the methylphosphate capping enzyme MEPCE as METTL16-interaction partners. Interestingly, A43 lies within an essential ACAGAGA box of U6 that base pairs with 5’ splice sites of pre-mRNAs during splicing, suggesting that METTL16-mediated modification of this site plays an important role in splicing regulation. The identification of METTL16 as an active m6A methyltransferase in human cells expands our understanding of the mechanisms by which the m6A landscape is installed on cellular RNAs.

The U6 snRNA m6A methyltransferase METTL16 regulates SAM synthetase intron retention

Project description:Maintenance of the intracellular levels of the methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is essential for a wide variety of biological processes. We demonstrate that the N6-adenosine methyltransferase METTL16 regulates expression of MAT2A, which encodes the only SAM synthetase expressed in most cells. Upon SAM depletion by methionine starvation, cells induce MAT2A expression by enhanced splicing of a retained intron. Induction requires METTL16 and its methylation substrate, a vertebrate conserved hairpin (hp1) in the MAT2A 3´ UTR. Increasing METTL16 occupancy on the MAT2A 3´ UTR is sufficient to induce efficient splicing. We propose that under SAM-limiting conditions, METTL16 occupancy on hp1 increases due to inefficient enzymatic turnover, which in turn promotes MAT2A splicing. Interestingly, human and S. pombe METTL16 methylate the U6 spliceosomal snRNA at a sequence identical to hp1. These observations suggest that the conserved U6 snRNA methyltransferase evolved an additional function in vertebrates to regulate SAM homeostasis.

RNA Methyltransferase METTL16’s Protein Domains Have Differential Functional Effects on Cell Processes

Project description:METTL16, a human m6A RNA methyltransferase, contains multiple RNA binding domains and is known to modify U6 and MAT2A RNAs. Usingmutagensis, we generated HEK293 cell lines stabling expressing nutated or WT forms of METTL16 to dtermine the imapct these mutations have on cell processes after removal of endogenous METTL16. We performed bottom-up, untargeted data dependent proteomics analysison all five cell lines to determine the global changes in peptide/protein abdundances; we identified 200-300 statistically significant altered proteinscompared to the wild-type exogenous METTL16 clone.

Mettl16 promotes hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell expansion in embryonic hematopoiesis [RNA-seq]

Project description:The RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification has emerged as an essential regulator of vertebrate embryogenesis and malignancies. However, its functions and underlying molecular mechanisms in the expansion of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) during early embryonic development remain elusive. Here we show that Mettl16, an RNA methyltransferase identified recently, is specifically required for HSPC expansion during zebrafish early embryonic development in an m6A-dependent manner. In mettl16 deficient embryos, HSPCs exhibit defective proliferation capacity due to G0/G1 arrest. Mechanistically, HSPC proliferation is blocked by impaired methyltransferase function of Mettl16 in vivo. We identify cell cycle gene mybl2b as a novel direct m6A target of Mettl16, and Mettl16 deficiency destabilizes mybl2b mRNA, which is mediated by m6A reader Igf2bp1. Moreover, we revealed that the METTL16-m6A-MYBL2-IGF2BP1 signaling axis in G1/S progression is conserved in humans. Collectively, our findings demonstrate the critical function of m6A modification deposited by Mettl16 in HSPC expansion during early embryonic development.

Determine METTL16-mediated spatiotemoral installation of m6A via MeRIP-seq (m6A-seq) with nascent RNA and nuclear poly(A) RNA

Project description:METTL16 belong to methyltransferase like (METTL) family and possesses the ability to deposit N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in mRNA. We have conducted m6A-seq with poly(A) RNAs isolated from the whole HEK293T cells upon METTL16 knockdown to identify the transcripts with hypo m6A peaks after METTL16 knockdown, and also conducted RIP-seq with HEK293T cells to determine the METTL16-bound transcripts. However, we found that the transcripts with hypo m6A peaks upon METTL16 knockdown only account for a small proportion of METTL16-bound transcripts. We suppose one of the possibility reasons might be due to spatiotemporal installation of m6A. To support our hypothesis, we performed additional m6A seq with nascent RNA and nuclear poly(A) RNA isolated from HEK293T cells with METTL16 knockdown.

Impact of LARP7 depletion on the transcriptome of HEK293 cells

Project description:The La-related protein LARP7 has been mainly described as a component of the 7SK small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) complex, which negatively regulates RNA polymerase II by sequestering the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb). In our studies, we discovered a novel, 7SK snRNP-independent function of LARP7. We show that LARP7 interacts with the U6 spliceosomal RNA as well as with the small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) directing the 2'-O-methylations of U6. Importantly, in the absence of LARP7, significantly less 2'-O-methylations are deposited on U6 affecting splicing fidelity. Mutations in the LARP7 gene have been associated with the Alazami syndrome, a form of primordial dwarfism characterized by intellectual disability. We describe a novel loss-of-function mutation of LARP7 occurring in Alazami patients and detect reduced 2'-O-methylations of U6 in patient-derived samples. Thus, aberrant posttranscriptional RNA modifications of the spliceosomal U6 snRNA may contribute to the development of this severe disease.
