RNA bisulfite sequencing of candidate tRNAs in Drosophila melanogaster

ABSTRACT: Dnmt2 and NSun2 are (cytosine-5) RNA methyltransferases. Using CRISPR/Cas9 we created null mutations in Dnmt2 and NSun2 genes in Drosophila melanogaster. We also ectopically expressed a wild type and catalytically inactive Dnmt2 form in the Dnmt2 mutant background. RNA bisulfite sequencing was used to follow RNA methylation at partical tRNA substrates.

The mouse cytosine-5 RNA methyltransferase NSun2 is a component of the chromatoid body and required for testis differentiation

Project description:Post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms are crucial for protein synthesis during spermatogenesis and often organized by the chromatoid body. Chromatoid bodies are large cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granules, whose precise function and composition remain unclear. Here, we identify NSun2 as a novel component of the chromatoid body, and further show that this RNA methylase is essential for germ cell differentiation in the mouse testis. Lack of NSun2 leads to down-regulation of genes controlling RNA processing and post-transcriptional repression pathways, including Ddx4, Mili, Piwil1 (Miwi) and Tudor domain containing (Tdrd) proteins. Germ cell differentiation was blocked specifically at the pachytene stage by lack of NSun2, as spermatogonial and Sertoli cells were unaffected in knockout mice. We observed the same phenotype when we simultaneously deleted NSun2 with Dnmt2, the only other characterized cytosine-5 RNA methyltransferase to date, indicating that Dnmt2 was not functionally redundant for NSun2 in spermatogonial stem cells or Sertoli cells. Thus, our data indicate that RNA methylation pathways play an essential role in male germ cell differentiation. Four sample groups: Testes from Wild-type and NSun2 knock out mice at 15 and 49 days; 6 samples in each group

Neuronal Nsun2 deficiency is associated with codon-specific epitranscriptomic dysregulation of Gly-tRNAs and corresponding proteomic shift impacting synaptic signaling and behavior

Project description:The role of transfer (t)RNA cytosine methyl-transferases as epitranscriptomic regulators of brain proteomes remains unexplored. We report that fear memory and antidepressant-like behaviors are highly sensitive to bi-directional changes in Nsun2 tRNA methyltransferase activity in prefrontal cortex (PFC) neurons. Nsun2-deficient mutant cortex showed a selective deficit in multiple glycine tRNAs, resulting in codon-specific shifts in translational efficiencies and a distorted proteomic landscape with deficits in glycine-rich neuronal proteins impacting synaptic signaling and behavior.

Identification of direct targets and modified bases of RNA cytosine methyltransferases

Project description:We report development of a mechanism-based technique, Aza-IP, that utilizes the stable covalent linkage formed in vivo between an RNA methyltransferase (m5C-RMT) and 5-azacytidine (5-aza-C) incorporated within the target RNA to enable specific target enrichment, coupled with high-throughput sequencing to provide target identification. We apply Aza-IP to two enzyme types, DNMT2 and NSUN2, the latter with important roles in fertility, intellectual ability, stem cells and cancer. For both, Aza-IP provided >200-fold enrichment of their known human tRNA targets. For NSUN2, we reveal many novel tRNA and non-coding RNA targets, all linked to NSUN2 nucleolar localization, greatly increasing the potential repertoire underlying loss-of-function pathologies. Strikingly, we observe a C>G transversion ‘signature’ specifically at the target cytosine, which enables the identification of the exact target cytosine within the RNA in the same experiment.

Site-specific cytosine-5 methylation by the mouse RNA methyltransferases Dnmt2 and NSun2 promotes tRNA stability and protein synthesis

Project description:Mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEFs) cell lines and liver samples from Dnmt2 and Nsun2 single mutant, double mutant and wildtype mice were used to identify potential mRNA substrates of both proteins. MEFs were derived from day 13.5 embryos and immortalized by transfection with a plasmid expressing the SV40 large-T antigen. Total RNA of MEFs cell line at passage 9 and total RNA extracted from 2 months old mouse liver tissues of Dnmt2, Nsun2 single mutant, double mutant and wildtype mice were arrayed on Illumina MouseRef8 v2 chips.

NSun2-mediated cytosine-5 methylation in Vault non-coding RNA determines its processing into small RNAs [RNA-seq]

Project description:Autosomal-recessive loss of the NSUN2 gene has been recently identified as a causative link to intellectual disability disorders in humans. NSun2 is an RNA methyltransferase modifying cytosine-5 in transfer RNAs (tRNA). Whether NSun2 methylates additional RNA species is currently debated. Here, we adapted the individual-nucleotide resolution UV cross-linking and immunoprecipitation method (iCLIP) to identify NSun2-mediated methylation in RNA transcriptome. We confirm site-specific methylation in tRNA and identify messenger and non-coding RNAs as potential methylation targets for NSun2. Using RNA bisulfite sequencing we establish Vault non-coding RNAs as novel substrates for NSun2 and identified six cytosine-5 methylated sites. Furthermore, we show that loss of cytosine-5 methylation in Vault RNAs causes aberrant processing into argonaute-associating small RNA fragments (svRNA). Thus, impaired Vault non-coding RNA processing may be an important contributor to the etiology of NSUN2-deficieny human disorders. mRNA-seq in Embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells transfected with siRNA against Nsun2 vs control

Loss of cytosine-5 methylation in tRNA triggers stress responses in a disease model for Intellectual Disability

Project description:Mutations in the cytosine-5 RNA methyltransferase NSun2 can cause Intellectual Disability (ID) and symptoms commonly found in patients with Dubowitz syndrome. By analysing gene expression data with the global cytosine-5 RNA methylome in NSun2-deficient mice, we find that loss of cytosine-5 RNA methylation increases the fragmentation of transfer RNAs (tRNA) leading to an accumulation of 5M-bM-^@M-^Y halves. Cleavage of tRNAs by Angiogenin is a common cellular stress response to silence translational programmes, and we show that Angiogenin binds tRNAs lacking site-specific NSun2-methylation with higher affinity. Furthermore, cells lacking functional NSun2 up-regulate stress markers, and deletion of NSun2 compromises cellular survival in response stress stimuli including UV-light and oxidative stress. The decreased tolerance of NSun2 null cells towards oxidative stress can be rescued through inhibition of Angiogenin. In conclusion, cytosine-5 RNA methylation is an essential post-transcriptional mechanism during cellular stress responses and NSun2-mediated tRNA methylation protects from Angiogenin-dependent stress-induced RNA cleavage.

Dnmt2-dependent methylomes lack biologically relevant DNA methylation patterns [Drosophila melanogaster]

Project description:Dnmt2 is a widely conserved protein, which is closely related to eukaryotic DNA methyltransferases. However, Dnmt2 shows a robust tRNA methyltransferase activity and only limited activity towards DNA. Interestingly, a recent study has provided evidence for a biologically important function of Dnmt2-dependent DNA methylation in the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni, which seemed to contradict the weak activity of the enzyme in other organisms. We now used whole-genome bisulfite sequencing to comprehensively analyze the methylome of adult worms and could not detect any evidence for biologically relevant DNA methylation patterns. We also characterized the methylome of Drosophila melanogaster embryos and did not find any evidence for DNA methylation. Unconverted cytosine residues were detectable only at very low levels and shared many attributes with bisulfite deamination artifacts. Our results thus strongly argue against a DNA methyltransferase activity of Dnmt2 and suggest that Dnmt2-dependent phenotypes are caused by reduced tRNA methylation. Whole genome methylation analysis of D. melanogaster. Two samples were analyzed, one sample containing DNA from WT embryos, one sample containing DNA from Dnmt2-/- embryos.
