Transcriptome-wide dynamics of extensive m6A mRNA methylation during Plasmodium falciparum blood-stage development

ABSTRACT: Malaria pathogenesis results from the asexual replication of Plasmodium falciparum within human red blood cells, which relies on a precisely timed cascade of gene expression over a 48-hour life cycle. However, post-transcriptional control of this hardwired program has been largely unexplored. To this end, we performed a comprehensive characterization of m6A mRNA methylation during the different developmental stages. Using mass spectrometry and parallel m6A and RNA sequencing, we show that m6A is developmentally regulated and present at higher levels (>4-fold) than in other organisms investigated. Knockdown of the m6A methyltransferase by CRISPR interference leads to increased levels of transcripts that normally contain m6A. In accordance, we find an inverse correlation between m6A status and mRNA half-life or translational efficiency. Our data demonstrate the crucial function of extensive m6A mRNA methylation in dynamically fine-tuning the transcriptional program of a unicellular eukaryote and reveal a new ‘epitranscriptomic’ layer of gene regulation in malaria parasites.

High-resolution mapping reveals a conserved, widespread, dynamic meiotically regulated mRNA methylation program

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most ubiquitous mRNA base modification, but little is known about its precise location, temporal dynamics, and regulation. Here, we generated genomic maps of m6A sites in meiotic yeast transcripts at nearly single-nucleotide resolution, identifying 1,308 putatively methylated sites within 1,183 transcripts. We validated 8/8 methylation sites in different genes with direct genetic analysis, demonstrated that methylated sites are significantly conserved in a related species, and built a model that predicts methylated sites directly from sequence. Sites vary in their methylation profiles along a dense meiotic time-course, and are regulated both locally, via predictable methylatability of each site, and globally, through the core meiotic circuitry. The methyltransferase complex components localize to the yeast nucleolus, and this localization is essential for mRNA methylation. Our data illuminates a conserved, dynamically regulated methylation program in yeast meiosis, and provides an important resource for studying the function of this epitranscriptomic modification.

Targeted Quantitative Profiling of Epitranscriptomic Reader, Writer and Eraser Proteins Revealed Potential Crosstalk between N6-Methyladenosine and Other RNA Modifications

Project description:N⁶-methyladenosine (m6A) and its reader, writer, and eraser (RWE) proteins assume crucial roles in regulating the splicing, stability, and translation of mRNA. To our knowledge, no systematic investigations have been conducted about the crosstalk between m6A and other modified nucleosides in RNA. Herein, we modified our recently established liquid chromatography-parallel-reaction monitoring (LC-PRM) method by incorporating stable isotope-labeled (SIL) peptides as internal or surrogate standards for profiling epitranscriptomic RWE proteins. We were able to detect reproducibly a total of 114 RWE proteins in HEK293T cells with the genes encoding m6A eraser proteins (i.e., ALKBH5, FTO) and the catalytic subunit of the major m6A writer complex (i.e., METTL3) being individually ablated. Notably, eight proteins were altered by more than 1.5-fold in the opposite directions in HEK293T cells depleted of METTL3 and ALKBH5. Analysis of published m6A mapping results revealed the presence of m6A in the corresponding mRNAs of four of these proteins. Together, we integrated SIL peptides into our LC-PRM method for quantifying epitranscriptomic RWE proteins, and our work revealed potential crosstalks between m6A and other epitranscriptomic modifications. Our modified LC-PRM method with the use of SIL peptides should be applicable for high-throughput profiling of epitranscriptomic RWE proteins in other cell types and in tissues.

m6A RNA Methylation Is Regulated by MicroRNAs and Promotes Reprogramming to Pluripotency

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been recently identified as a conserved epitranscriptomic modification of eukaryotic mRNAs, but its features, regulatory mechanisms, and functions in cell reprogramming are largely unknown. Here, we report m6A modification profiles in the mRNA transcriptomes of four cell types with different degrees of pluripotency. Comparative analysis reveals several features of m6A, especially gene- and cell-type-specific m6A mRNA modifications. We also show that microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate m6A modification via a sequence pairing mechanism. Manipulation of miRNA expression or sequences alters m6A modification levels through modulating the binding of METTL3 methyltransferase to mRNAs containing miRNA targeting sites. Increased m6A abundance promotes the reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to pluripotent stem cells; conversely, reduced m6A levels impede reprogramming. Our results therefore uncover a role for miRNAs in regulating m6A formation of mRNAs and provide a foundation for future functional studies of m6A modification in cell reprogramming. m6A-seq in ESC, iPSC, NSC and sertoli cells.

Transcriptome-wide regulation of host m6A mRNA methylation by malaria parasite infection

Project description:N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) modification has been found to play important roles in diverse pathogen infections and host responses, here we report host m6A mRNA transcriptome profiles regulated by the infections of two strains of malaria parasite Plasmodium yoelii (N67 and N67C). We showed that malaria infection can regulate host m6A mRNA modification and reprogram host m6A mRNA methylome by mediating corresponding m6A catalytic enzyme levels. Our data suggested m6A modification as a significant transcriptome-wide mark during host-malaria interactions.

5-methylcytosine modification-mediated mRNA stabilization is associated with sexual development of malaria parasites [BisRNA-seq]

Project description:5-methylcytosine (m5C) is emerging as an important epi-transcriptome modification involving RNA stability and translation efficiency in various biological processes. However, it remains unclear how m5C contributes to the dynamic regulation of transcriptome during the development of Plasmodium. Here, we identified the presence of 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification in rodent (P. yoelii) and human (P. falciparum) malaria parasites transcriptome and depicted a comprehensive characterization landscape of m5C mRNA modification at single-nucleotide resolution (RNA-BisSeq) from asexual replicating stage to gametocyte development. Through transcriptome-wide profiling of mRNA m5C modification, we found that m5C modified mRNA displayed higher stability than non-m5C modified mRNA during the development of Plasmodium. We identified Plasmodium ortholog of NSUN2 as an mRNA m5C methyltransferase in malaria parasites. LC–MS/MS and RNA-BisSeq analysis revealed a large decrease in mRNA m5C modification at transcriptome-wide level upon Nsun2 knockout. Absence of Nsun2 severely reduced gametocyte production in either rodent (P. yoelii) or human (P. falciparum) malaria parasites. Meanwhile, some genes related to gametocytogenesis displayed a great reduction of m5C modification. Together, our data provides comprehensive mRNA m5C profiles in Plasmodium genus and reveals m5C modification-mediated mRNA stability as a novel mechanism regulating sexual differentiation of a unicellular eukaryote.

Gut microbiota rewires host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic landscape via bile acid metabolism

Project description:Gut microbiota and their metabolites influence host gene expression and physiological status through diverse mechanisms. Here we investigate how gut microbiota and their metabolites impact host's mRNA m6A epitranscriptome in various antibiotic-induced microbiota dysbiosis models. With multi-omics analysis, we find that the imbalance of gut microbiota can rewire host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic profiles in brain, liver and intestine. We further explore the underlying mechanisms regulating host mRNA m6A methylome by depleting the microbiota with ampicillin. Metabolomic profiling shows that cholic acids are the main down-regulated metabolites with Firmicutes as the most significantly reduced genus in ampicillin-treated mice comparing to untreated mice. Fecal microbiota transplantations in germ-free mice and metabolites supplementations in cells verify that cholic acids are associated with host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic rewiring. Collectively, this study employs an integrative multi-omics analysis to demonstrate the impact of gut microbiota dysbiosis on host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic landscape via cholic acid metabolism.
