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.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in the messenger RNA (mRNA) of all higher eukaryotes. This modification has been shown to be reversible in mammals; it is installed by a methyltransferase heterodimer complex of METTL3 and METTL14 bound with WTAP, and reversed by iron(II)- and α-ketoglutarate-dependent demethylases FTO and ALKBH5. This modification exhibits significant functional roles in various biological processes. The m6A modification as a RNA mark is recognized by reader proteins, such as YTH domain family proteins and HNRNPA2B1; m6A can also act as a structure switch to affect RNA-protein interactions for biological regulation. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the methyltransferase subunit MTA (the plant orthologue of human METTL3, encoded by At4g10760) was well characterized and FIP37 (the plant orthologue of human WTAP) was first identified as the interacting partner of MTA. Here we report the discovery and characterization of reversible m6A methylation mediated by AtALKBH10B (encoded by At4g02940) in A. thaliana, and noticeable roles of this RNA demethylase in affecting plant development and floral transition. Our findings reveal potential broad functions of reversible mRNA methylation in plants. m6A peaks were identified from wild type Columbia-0 and atalkbh10b-1 mutant in two biological replicates

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) in higher eukaryotes. Here we report ALKBH5 as a new mammalian demethylase that oxidatively removes the m6A modification in mRNA in vitro and inside cells. This demethylation activity of ALKBH5 significantly affects mRNA export and RNA metabolism as well as the assembly of mRNA processing factors in nuclear speckles. Alkbh5-deficient male mice are characterized by impaired fertility resulting from apoptosis that affects meiotic metaphase-stage spermatocytes. In accordance with this defect, we have identified in mouse testes 1552 differentially expressed genes which cover broad functional categories and include spermatogenesis-related mRNAs involved in the p53 functional interaction network. We show that Alkbh5-deficiency impacts the expression levels of some of these mRNAs, supporting the observed phenotype. The discovery of this new RNA demethylase strongly suggests that the reversible m6A modification plays fundamental and broad functions in mammalian cells. RNA-seq in two cell types

Project description:To investigate whether the ALKBH5-mediated metabolic changes via demethylation of its target mRNA(s) is important in regulating viral response, we mapped the targeting transcripts and binding sites of ALKBH5 in the virus infected cells and uninfected cells by using iCLIP-seq. Biological replicates of iCLIP-seq confirmed that OGDH is the direct targeting transcript of ALKBH5 and the binding capacity of ALKBH5 to OGDH mRNA was decreased upon viral infection. By combining the ALKBH5-iCLIP-seq results with m6A-seq data, we identified that there are overlapped ALKBH5-iCLIP peaks and m6A-seq peaks on OGDH mRNA. Furthermore, other mRNAs, such as GOT2 mRNA, were also the ALKBH5’s targeting transcripts and m6A demethylation substrates. GOT2 is an important metabolic enzyme well known to be involved in host response to viral infection. These data demonstrated that ALKBH5-mediated metabolic rewiring via demethylation of target OGDH mRNA and other transcripts is important in regulating cellular viral replication.

Project description:Knocking down ALKBH5 in Glioma Stem Cells resulted in an altered gene expression profile N6-methyl-adenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal chemical modification of mRNAs in eukaryotes. In mammals, m6A installed by m6A methyltransferases METTL3 and METTL14 is erased by two members of the AlkB family of nonheme Fe(II)/a-ketoglutarate (a-KG)-dependent dioxygenases, fat-mass and obesity associated protein (FTO) or ALKBH5. ALKBH5 affects nuclear RNA export and metabolism, gene expression and mouse fertility. To date, little is known about the biological significance of m6A in human cancer. We found that ALKBH5 is highly expressed in human glioblastoma stem cells which are resistant to conventional therapy and give rise to glioblastoma recurrence by sustaining long-term tumor growth. Global manipulation of the m6A modification by depleting ALKBH5 resulted in altered gene expression including subsets of genes enriched in "Cell Cycle", "DNA Replication, Recombination, and Repair" and "Cellular Assembly and Organization". Knockdown of ALKBH5 expression in human glioblastoma stem cells significantly reduced their self-renewal ability as a result of inhibition of cell cycle progression. This study demonstrated the important role of m6A modification in human glioblastoma development.

Project description:Since m6A demethylases (FTO and ALKBH5) have been reported to be involved in pre-mRNA splicing regulation, we hypothesized that dynamic m6A distribution during mRNA maturation might involve removal of m6A in internal exons by FTO or ALKBH5 accompanied by splicing factors. To explore this we performed pull-down assays coupled with protein mass spectrometry.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been shown to regulate various aspects of mRNA biology. Although m6A has been shown to be co-transcriptionally deposited in mRNA by the chromatin-bound methyltranferase METTL3, the precise role of METTL3 and the resulting m6A methylation remain incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that the nascent RNAs generated from enhancers and promoters are co-transcriptionally and dynamically regulated by the chromatin bound METTL3/14 methyltransferase complex, and the demethylase, ALKBH5. Importantly, nascent RNA m6A is recognized by the reader protein hnRNP G, which prevents access of the RNA endonuclease INTS11 and thus protects nascent RNA from inappropriate degradation. Our study thus reveals an important chromatin function of m6A in stabilizing the enhancer- and promoter-derived nascent RNAs, which function to promote transcription activation.
