Project description:Branching morphogenesis is essential for the successful development of a functional lung to accomplish its gas exchange function. Although many studies have highlighted requirements for the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway during branching morphogenesis, little is known about how BMP signalingis regulated. Here we report that the protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (Prmt5) and symmetric dimethylation at histone H4 arginine 3 (H4R3sme2) directly associate with chromatin of Bmp4 to suppress its transcription. Inactivation of Prmt5 in the lung epithelium results in halted branching morphogenesis, altered epithelial cell differentiation and neonatal lethality. These defects are accompanied by increased apoptosis and reduced proliferation of lung epithelium, as a consequence of elevated canonical BMP-Smad1/5/9 signaling. Inhibition of BMP signaling by Noggin rescues the lung branching defects of Prmt5 mutant in vitro. Taken together, our results identify a novel mechanism through which Prmt5-mediated histone arginine methylation represses canonical BMP signaling to regulate lung branching morphogenesis.

Project description:Type I Protein Arginine Methyltransferases (PRMTs) catalyze asymmetric dimethylation of arginine (ADMA) residues on numerous protein substrates to modulate their activity. Type I PRMTs and many of their substrates have been implicated in human cancers, suggesting that inhibiting Type I PRMT activity offers a tractable approach for therapeutic intervention. The current report describes GSK3368715 (EPZ019997), a potent, reversible Type I PRMT inhibitor with anti-tumor activity against human cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. GSK3368715 reduces ADMA on numerous substrates and concomitantly increases monomethyl (MMA) and symmetric dimethyl arginine (SDMA) levels. Inhibition of PRMT5, the major type II PRMT, attenuates this induction and produces synergistic antiproliferative effects in combination with GSK3368715 in cancer cells. PRMT5 activity is inhibited by 2-methylthioadenosine (MTA), a naturally occurring metabolite that accumulates in tumor cells deficient for the enzyme Methylthioadenosine Phosphorylase (MTAP). MTAP deletion in cancer cell lines correlates with sensitivity to GSK3368715, indicating a sufficient degree of PRMT5 inhibition from MTA accumulation to achieve a tumor cell-intrinsic combination. These data provide the rationale to explore MTAP status as a biomarker strategy for patient selection to maximize the anti-tumor activity of GSK3368715.

Project description:Arginine methylation is essential for both cellular viability and development and is also dysregulated in cancer. PRMTs catalyze the post translational monomethylation (Rme1/MMA, catalyzed by Type I-III), asymmetric (Rme2a/ADMA, Type I enzymes)-, or symmetric (Rme2s/SDMA, Type II enzymes) dimethylation of arginine. Despite many studies, a thorough integration of PRMT enzyme substrate determination and proteomic and transcriptomic consequences of inhibiting Type I and II PRMTs is lacking. To characterize cellular substrates for Type I (Rme2a) and Type II (Rme2s) PRMTs, human A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells were treated with either Type I (MS023) or Type II (GSK591) inhibitors. Using total proteome hydrolysis, we developed a new mass spectrometry approach to analyze total arginine and lysine content. We showed that Rme1 was a minor population (~0.1% of total arginine), Rme2a was highly abundant (~1.1%), and Rme2s was intermediate (~0.4%). While Rme2s was mostly eliminated by GSK591 treatment, total Rme1 and Rme2a were more resistant to perturbation. To quantitatively characterize substrate preferences of the major enzymes PRMT1, PRMT4(CARM1), and PRMT5, we used oriented peptide array libraries (OPAL) in methyltransferase assays. We demonstrated that while PRMT5 tolerates aspartic acid residues in the substrate, PRMT1 does not. Importantly, PRMT4 methylated previously uncharacterized hydrophobic motifs. To integrate our studies, we performed PTMScan on PRMT-inhibited A549 cells and enriched for methylated arginine containing tryptic peptides. For detection of highly charged peptides, a method to analyze the samples using electron transfer dissociation was developed. Proteomic analysis revealed distinct methylated species enriched in nuclear function, RNA-binding, intrinsically disordered domains, and liquid-liquid phase separation. Parallel studies with proteomics and RNA-Seq revealed distinct, but ontologically overlapping, consequences to PRMT inhibition. Overall, we demonstrate a wider PRMT substrate diversity and methylarginine functional consequence than previously shown.

Project description:Protein arginine methylation, catalyzed by the protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family, is recognized as a widespread post-translational modification (PTM) with implications in a plethora of biological processes in eukaryotes. PRMT proteins were classified into three types, type I, II and III, according to the final methyl-arginine products generated. Despite that thousands of substrates have been identified for Type I and II PRMTs, a full scope of arginine methylation catalyzed by the only type III PRMT, PRMT7, as well as its connection with that of type I and II PRMTs remain unknown, limiting our understanding of the network of arginine methylation and its functions in cells. In this study, global profiling of PRMT4 (type I), PRMT5 (type II) and PRMT7 (type III) substrates (also referred as methylome) revealed that PRMT7 methylated a GAR (glycine and arginine) motif similar as PRMT5, while PRMT4 uniquely methylated a motif in which proline was highly enriched. PRMT4, 5 and 7-methylome were all enriched with proteins functioning in mRNA splicing, and knockdown of PRMT4, 5 or 7 led to a global change of alternative splicing events, among which a cohort with implications in cancer development was co-regulated by all three PRMTs. PRMT4, 5 and 7-mediated arginine methylation on splicing factors such as hnRNPA1, though at different status, were shown to enhance RNA binding in general and participate in the regulation of PRMT4, 5 and 7 co-regulated alternative splicing events.The clinical significance of PRMT4, 5 and 7-mediated arginine methylation was underscored by the fact that these three PRMTs as well as hnRNPA1 arginine methylation were over-represented in multiple types of cancers, which were associated with aberrant gene alternative splicing. Consistently, silencing or pharmacological inhibition of PRMT4, 5 and 7 altered gene alternative splicing and suppressed cancer cell growth, and co-treatment exhibited synergistic effects. Taken together, our study provided an integrative view of substrates for the three types of PRMTs, revealing the important function of arginine methylation in RNA splicing and cancer.

Project description:Protein Arginine Methyltransferase (PRMT) 5 catalyzes symmetric dimethylation of arginine, a post-translational modification involved in cancer and embryonic development. However, the role and mechanisms by which PRMT5 modulates T helper (Th) cell polarization and autoimmune disease have not yet been elucidated. Here we find that PRMT5 promotes expression of cholesterol biosynthetic pathway enzymes that produce ROR agonists and activate ROR-t, driving Th17 differentiation. Specific loss of PRMT5 in the CD4 Th cell compartment completely protected mice from EAE. We also find that PRMT5 controls thymic and peripheral homeostasis in the CD4 Th cell life cycle, as well as iNK T and CD8 T cell development or maintenance, respectively. This work conclusively demonstrates that PRMT5 expression in recently activated T cells is necessary for expression of a cholesterol biosynthesis metabolic gene expression program that generates ROR-t agonistic activity and promotes Th17 differentiation and EAE. These results point to Th PRMT5 and its downstream cholesterol biosynthesis pathway as promising therapeutic targets in Th17-mediated diseases.

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are required for the regulation of RNA processing factors. Type I PRMT enzymes catalyze mono- and asymmetric dimethylation; Type II enzymes catalyze mono- and symmetric dimethylation. To understand the specific mechanisms of PRMT activity in splicing regulation, we inhibited Type I and II PRMTs and probed their transcriptomic consequences. Using the newly developed Splicing Kinetics and Transcript Elongation Rates by Sequencing (SKaTER-seq) method, analysis of co-transcriptional splicing demonstrated that PRMT inhibition resulted in altered splicing rates. Surprisingly, co-transcriptional splicing kinetics did not correlate with final changes in splicing of polyadenylated RNA. This was particularly true for retained introns (RI). By using actinomycin D to inhibit ongoing transcription, we determined that PRMTs post-transcriptionally regulate RI. Subsequent proteomic analysis of both PRMT-inhibited chromatin and chromatin-associated polyadenylated RNA identified altered binding of many proteins, including the Type I substrate, CHTOP, and the Type II substrate, SmB. Targeted mutagenesis of all methylarginine sites in SmD3, SmB, and SmD1 recapitulated splicing changes seen with Type II PRMT inhibition, without disrupting snRNP assembly. Similarly, mutagenesis of all methylarginine sites in CHTOP recapitulated the splicing changes seen with Type I PRMT inhibition. Examination of subcellular fractions further revealed that RI were enriched in the nucleoplasm and chromatin. Together, these data demonstrate that, through Sm and CHTOP arginine methylation, PRMTs regulate the post-transcriptional processing of nuclear, detained introns.
