Determination of 5-methyluridine in messenger RNA of mammals

ABSTRACT: The discovery of dynamic and reversible modifications in messenger RNA (mRNA) is opening new directions in RNA modification-mediated regulation of biological processes. Methylation is the most prevalent modification occurring in mRNA and the methylation group is mainly decorated in the adenine, cytosine, and guanine base, or in the 2’-hydroxyl group of ribose. However, methylation of the uracil base (5-methyluridine, m5U) hasn’t been discovered in mRNA of eukaryotes. In the current study, we established a method by N-cyclohexyl-N’-β-(4-methylmorpholinium) ethylcarbodiimide p-toluenesulfonate (CMCT) labelling coupled with liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry analysis (LC-ESI-MS/MS) for the sensitive determination of uridine modifications in RNA. Our results demonstrated that the detection sensitivities of uridine modifications in RNA increased up to 1543 folds upon CMCT labelling. Using the developed method, we identified the distinct existence of m5U in mRNA of various mammalian cells and tissues. In addition, the stable isotope tracing monitored by mass spectrometry revealed that the methylation group of m5U originated from S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM). Our study expanded the list of modifications occurring in mRNA of mammals. Future work on transcriptome-wide mapping of m5U will further uncover the functional roles of m5U in mRNA of mammals.

Human TRMT2A methylates different components of the translation machinery and contributes to translation fidelity

Project description:Methyl-5-uridine (m5U) is one of the most abundant RNA modifications found in cytosolic tRNA. tRNA methyltransferase 2 homolog A (hTRMT2A) is the dedicated mammalian enzyme of m5U conversion at tRNA position 54. However, its RNA binding specificity and functional role in the cell are not well understood. Here we dissected structural and sequence requirements for binding and methylation of its RNA targets. Specificity of tRNA modification by TRMT2A is achieved by a combination of modest binding preference and presence of a uridine in position 54 of tRNAs. Mutational analysis together with crosslinking experiments identified a large hTRMT2A-tRNA binding surface. Furthermore, complementing hTRMT2A interactome studies revealed that TRMT2A interacts with proteins involved in both tRNA and rRNA biogenesis. Consistent with this finding, we observed that TRMT2A not only methylates tRNA, but also rRNA. Finally, we addressed the question of the importance of TRMT2A function by showing that its knockdown reduces translational fidelity. These findings extend the role of hTRMT2A beyond tRNA modification towards rRNA biogenesis and translational fidelity.

Quantifying propagation of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation with iDEMS

Project description:DNA methylation is a critical epigenetic mark in mammalian cells. Many aspects of DNA methylation maintenance have been characterized, however the exact kinetics of post-replicative methylation maintenance remain a subject of debate. Here we develop isolation of DNA by EdU-labelling for Mass Spectrometry (iDEMS), a highly sensitive, quantitative mass spectrometry-based method for measuring DNA modifications on metabolically labelled DNA. iDEMS reveals an unexpectedly hemi-methylated landscape on nascent DNA. Combining iDEMS with metabolic labelling reveals that methylation maintenance is outpaced by cell division in mouse embryonic stem cells. Our approach shows hydroxymethylation is perpetually asymmetric between sister strands in favor of the parental, template strand. iDEMS can be coupled with immunoprecipitation of chromatin proteins, revealing features of DNA methylation-histone modification crosstalk and suggesting a model for interplay between methylation and nucleosome assembly. iDEMS therefore elucidates long-standing questions about DNA modification propagation and provides an important orthogonal technology to understanding this process in dynamic cellular contexts.

Human RNase 4 Improves mRNA Sequence Characterization by LC-MS/MS.

Project description:With the rapid growth of synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA)-based therapeutics and vaccines, the development of analytical tools for characterization of long, complex RNAs has become essential. Tandem liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) permits direct assessment of the mRNA primary sequence and modifications thereof without conversion to cDNA or amplification. It relies upon digestion of mRNA with site-specific endoribonucleases to generate pools of short oligonucleotides that are then amenable to MS-based sequence analysis. Here, we showed that the uridine-specific human endoribonuclease hRNase 4 improves mRNA sequence coverage, in comparison with the benchmark enzyme RNase T1, by producing a large population of uniquely mappable cleavage products. Furthermore, we deployed hRNase 4 to characterize mRNAs fully substituted with 1-methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ) or 5-methoxyuridine (mo5U), as well as mRNAs selectively depleted of uridine–two key strategies to reduce synthetic mRNA immunogenicity. Lastly, we demonstrated that hRNase 4 enables direct assessment of the 5′ cap incorporation in in vitro synthesized mRNA. Collectively, this study highlights the power of hRNase 4 to interrogate mRNA sequence, identity, and modifications by LC-MS/MS.

PRMT1 regulates microRNA biogenesis through the methylation of the Large Drosha Complex

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) biogenesis is a tightly controlled multi-step process operated in the nucleus by the activity of the Large Drosha Complex (LDC). We previously reported that the LDC is highly methylated. To investigate the extent of this post-translational modification, we extensively characterized the LDC methyl-proteome by combining heavy methyl SILAC metabolic labelling of cells with the affinity-enrichment of the complex, followed by high resolution mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. We found that arginine (R) methylation is the predominant modification, occurring on multiple sites of 13 of the 23 subunits of the complex. Interestingly, the depletion- or pharmacological inhibition- of PRMT1, the major protein R-methyltransferase in mammals, alters the LDC methylation state and this is linked to a global decrease of miRNA expression, due to the specific impairment of the pri-to-pre-miRNA processing step. Moreover, PRMT1 activity appears to be required for the binding of some LDC subunits to pri-miRNAs. Overall, our study uncovers a previously uncharacterized role of R-methylation in the regulation of the LDC activity, thus effecting miRNA levels in mammalian cells

FICC-Seq: A method for enzyme-specified profiling of methyl-5-uridine in cellular RNA

Project description:Methyl-5-uridine (m5U) is one the most abundant non-canonical bases present in cellular RNAs, and is formed via catalytic conversion of uridines. In yeast, m5U is known to be present at position 54 of tRNAs where modification is catalysed by the methyltransferase Trm2. Although the mammalian enzymes that catalyse m5U formation are yet to be identified via experimental evidence, based on sequence homology to Trm2, two candidates currently exist, TRMT2A and TRMT2B. Here we developed a genome-wide single-nucleotide resolution mapping method, Fluorouracil-Induced-Catalytic-Crosslinking-Sequencing (FICC-Seq), in order to map the relevant enzymatic targets in cellular RNA. We demonstrate that TRMT2A is responsible for the majority of m5U present in human RNA, and that it ubiquitously targets U54 of cytosolic tRNAs. By comparison to current methods, we show that FICC-Seq is a particularly robust method for accurate and reliable detection of relevant enzymatic target sites. Our associated demonstration of irreversible human m5U enzyme-RNA crosslinking in vivo following 5-flurouracil exposure is further intriguing, as it suggests a tangible mechanism for a previously suspected RNA-dependent route of 5-fluorouracil-mediated cytotoxicity.

Methyl-SILAF mapping of the Drosophila mitochondrial protein methylome

Project description:S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is the principal biological methyl group donor for a diverse range of substrates. It is synthesised in the cytosolic methionine cycle and shuttled throughout the cell. The mitochondrial SAM (mitoSAM) pool depends on import through the inner-membrane S-adenosylmethionine carrier (SAMC) and supports the maturation of metabolites and mitochondrial RNAs. Mutations in SAMC in patients cause a severe metabolic crisis, however, the organellar regulation of mitoSAM and the protein methylation landscape within mitochondria are largely unknown. We developed a fly-compatible SILAC labelling technique and mapped mitochondrial protein methylation sites in Drosophila melanogaster, further showing that SAM is the sole methyl group donor for these modifications, with no contribution from folate-species. This dataset comprises MS-runs used for quality control of methyl-SILAF, the methylome mapping and exclusion of folates as protein methyl-group donors.

Identification of histone modifications reveals an association of H2b monoubiquitination with gonadal transdifferentiation

Project description:Gonadal trans-differentiation from ovary to testis occurs in a same individual, suggesting a role of epigenetic regulation. However, histone modifications concerning the sex reversal process remain elusive. Here, we report a developmental atlas of histone modifications in the gonadal differentiation, including acetylation, methylation, and ubiquitination, using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We provided a detail distribution map of these modification sites including novel histone modifications along histones H2a, H2b, H3, and H4, and revealed their relationship with types of gonadal differentiation. We then determined a testis-enriched histone modification site, H2b monoubiquitination at K120, and its association with spermatogenesis. ChIP-seq demonstrated that the modification was highly enriched in the male sex-determining gene dmrt1, in particular association with its exon regions, suggesting its role in transcriptional elongation of dmrt1 in testis. Together, these data not only provide a new resource for epigenetic study in gonadal development, but also define an association of histone modifications in gonadal differentiation from ovary to testis.

YangziChen2024 - Metabolic Machine Learning Predictor Model for Diagnosis of Gastric Cancer

Project description:The paper "Metabolomic Machine Learning Predictor for Diagnosis and Prognosis of Gastric Cancer" addresses the need for non-invasive diagnostic tools for gastric cancer (GC). Traditional methods like endoscopy are invasive and expensive. The authors conducted a targeted metabolomics analysis of 702 plasma samples to develop machine learning models for GC diagnosis and prognosis. The diagnostic model, using 10 metabolites, achieved a sensitivity of 0.905, outperforming conventional protein marker-based methods. The prognostic model effectively stratified patients into risk groups, surpassing traditional clinical models. I have successfully reproduced the diagnosis model from the paper. This machine learning-based system differentiates GC patients from non-GC controls using metabolomics data from plasma samples analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The model focuses on 10 metabolites, including succinate, uridine, lactate, and serotonin. Employing LASSO regression and a random forest classifier, the model achieved an AUROC of 0.967, with a sensitivity of 0.854 and specificity of 0.926. This model significantly outperforms traditional diagnostic methods and underscores the potential of integrating machine learning with metabolomics for early GC detection and treatment.

Conserved 5-methyluridine tRNA modification modulates ribosome translocation

Project description:While the centrality of post-transcriptional modifications to RNA biology has long been acknowledged, the function of the vast majority of modified sites remains to be discovered. Illustrative of this, there is not yet a discrete biological role assigned for one the most highly conserved modifications, 5-methyluridine at position 54 in tRNAs (m5U54). Here, we uncover contributions of m5U54 to both tRNA maturation and protein synthesis. Our mass spectrometry analyses demonstrate that cells lacking the enzyme that installs m5U in the T-loop (TrmA inE. coli, Trm2 inS. cerevisiae) exhibit altered tRNA modifications patterns. Furthermore, m5U54 deficient tRNAs are desensitized to small molecules that prevent translocationin vitro.This finding is consistent with our observations that, relative to wild-type cells,trm2Δ cell growth and transcriptome-wide gene expression are less perturbed by translocation inhibitors. Together our data suggest a model in which m5U54 acts as an important modulator of tRNA maturation and translocation of the ribosome during protein synthesis.
