5-methylcytosine modification and the ALYREF reader protein promote retrovirus replication

ABSTRACT: The 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification is present at appreciable amounts in the mammalian transcriptome, but its precise location and function is still poorly understood. Here, we identify high m5C levels and map their locations in a model retrovirus, the murine leukemia virus, and show that the ALYREF m5C reader protein regulates viral replication. Our results reveal a single-nucleotide m5C profile in a virus and its function in a eukaryotic mRNA.

Identification of putative reader proteins of RNA 5-methylcytosine and its derivatives in Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:Methylation of carbon-5 of cytosines (m5C) is a conserved post-transcriptional nucleotide modification of RNA with widespread distribution across organisms. m5C has been shown to participate in mRNA transport and maintain mRNA stability through its recognition by the reader proteins ALYREF and YBX1, respectively. We recently showed that m5C is required for Caenorhabditis elegans development and fertility under heat stress. To contribute to the understanding of how m5C and its oxidative derivatives mediate their functions, we developed RNA baits bearing modified cytosines in diverse structural contexts to pulldown potential readers in C. elegans. Our mass spectrometry analyses reveal unique binding proteins for each of the modifications. We validate our dataset by demonstrating that the nematode ALYREF homologues ALY-1 and ALY-2 preferentially bind m5C in vitro. The dataset presented here serves as an important scientific resource that will support the discovery of new functions of m5C and its derivatives.

ALYREF Mediates RNA m5C Modification to Promote Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression

Project description:The RNA methyltransferase Aly/REF export factor (ALYREF) is considered one type of “reader” protein located in the nucleus that recognizes and binds directly with m5C sites in RNA and facilitates the export of RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Notably, ALYREF is considered a promising target for diagnosis and prognosis prediction. However, until now, the low number of related studies has limited the understanding of the mechanism of the HCC-promoting effects of ALYREF. To further elucidate the oncogenic roles of ALYREF in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we assessed the expression levels of ALYREF in clinical samples and HCC cell lines and explored the effects of ALYREF deficiency by both in vitro experiments and m5C-methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (m5C-MeRIP-Seq)

5-Methylcytosine RNA Modifications Promote Retrovirus Replication in an ALYREF Reader Protein-Dependent Manner.

Project description:RNA modifications play diverse roles in regulating RNA function, and viruses co-opt these pathways for their own benefit. While recent studies have highlighted the importance of N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-the most abundant mRNA modification-in regulating retrovirus replication, the identification and function of other RNA modifications in viral biology have been largely unexplored. Here, we characterized the RNA modifications present in a model retrovirus, murine leukemia virus (MLV), using mass spectrometry and sequencing. We found that 5-methylcytosine (m5C) is highly enriched in viral genomic RNA relative to uninfected cellular mRNAs, and we mapped at single-nucleotide resolution the m5C sites, which are located in multiple clusters throughout the MLV genome. Further, we showed that the m5C reader protein ALYREF plays an important role in regulating MLV replication. Together, our results provide a complete m5C profile in a virus and its function in a eukaryotic mRNA.IMPORTANCE Over 130 modifications have been identified in cellular RNAs, which play critical roles in many cellular processes, from modulating RNA stability to altering translation efficiency. One such modification, 5-methylcytosine, is relatively abundant in mammalian mRNAs, but its precise location and function are not well understood. In this study, we identified unexpectedly high levels of m5C in the murine leukemia virus RNA, precisely mapped its location, and showed that ALYREF, a reader protein that specifically recognizes m5C, regulates viral production. Together, our findings provide a high-resolution atlas of m5C in murine leukemia virus and reveal a functional role of m5C in viral replication.

NSUN2-mediated 5-methylcytosine enhances purine metabolism through ALYREF in retinoblastoma

Project description:5-methylcytosine (m5C) RNA modification installed by methyltransferase NSUN2 regulates gene expression and cell fate. Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common primary intraocular tumor in children. However, the functional role of m5C modification in retinoblastoma remains unclear. Here, we show that 5-methylcytosine significantly promotes the progression of retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma samples showed increased m5C levels, indicating a poor prognosis. Changes in global m5C modification were highly associated with tumor progression in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, NSUN2 stabilized the methylated PFAS mRNA, a tumor promoter in retinoblastoma. Our work uncovers a critical function for m5C methylation in retinoblastoma and provides additional insight into the understanding of m5C modification.

Epitranscriptomic maps of 5-methylcytosine reveal substrate diversity of NSUN methyltransferases and links to mRNA translation and turnover

Project description:Multiple epitranscriptomic maps of the RNA modification 5-methylcytosine (m5C) have been prepared, often diverging markedly from each other in terms of site abundance and identity. Differences in detection methods, data depth and analysis pipelines, but also biological factors underly much of this disparity. To address this, we re-analysed available datasets from five human cell lines and seven tissues, generated by the prevailing bisulfite RNA sequencing method, with a coherent m5C site calling pipeline. We used the resulting union list of 6,393 m5C sites called across the broader transcriptome to study site distribution, enzymology, interaction with RNA-binding proteins and molecular function. We confirmed prior observations such as predominance of m5C sites within mRNA exons, enrichment around start codons, and that the tRNA:m5C methyltransferases (MTases) NSUN2 and 6 are the main m5C ‘writers’ for mRNAs. Each NSUN enzyme recognises mRNA features that strongly resemble their respective canonical substrates. Assessing proximity between mRNA m5C sites and footprints of RNA-binding proteins reconfirmed the mRNA export factor ALYREF as an m5C ‘reader’ and identified new candidates for functional interactions, including the RNA helicases DDX3X, involved in mRNA translation, and UPF1, an mRNA decay factor. Experiments in HeLa cells lacking NSUN2 showed that this affected both, steady-state level and UPF1-binding to target mRNAs. Our studies emphasise the emerging diversity of both, m5C writers and readers, affecting mRNA function.

5-methylcytosine promotes mRNA export - NSUN2 as the methyltransferase and ALYREF as an m5C reader.

Project description:5-methylcytosine (m5C) is a post-transcriptional RNA modification identified in both stable and highly abundant tRNAs and rRNAs, and in mRNAs. However, its regulatory role in mRNA metabolism is still largely unknown. Here, we reveal that m5C modi?cation is enriched in CG-rich regions and in regions immediately downstream of translation initiation sites and has conserved, tissue-specific and dynamic features across mammalian transcriptomes. Moreover, m5C formation in mRNAs is mainly catalyzed by the RNA methyltransferase NSUN2, and m5C is specifically recognized by the mRNA export adaptor ALYREF as shown by in vitro and in vivo studies. NSUN2 modulates ALYREF's nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling, RNA-binding affinity and associated mRNA export. Dysregulation of ALYREF-mediated mRNA export upon NSUN2 depletion could be restored by reconstitution of wild-type but not methyltransferase-defective NSUN2. Our study provides comprehensive m5C profiles of mammalian transcriptomes and suggests an essential role for m5C modification in mRNA export and post-transcriptional regulation.

RNA-seq analysis of Alyref and Gabpb1 knockout embryos

Project description:We have identified Alyref and Gabpb1 as developmentally important genes by siRNA screening. Gene knockout (KO) of Alyref and Gabpb1 by the CRISPR/Cas9 system resulted in early developmental arrest in mice. To gain mechanistic insight into the developmental role of Alyref and Gabpb1, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of the KO embryos.

Global RNA-binding profile of the mRNA export adaptor ALYREF

Project description:The TREX complex (TREX) plays key roles in nuclear export of mRNAs. However, little is known about its transcriptome-wide binding targets. We used individual cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (iCLIP) to identify the binding sites of ALYREF, an mRNA export adaptor in TREX, in human cells. As expected, iCLIP reads are mainly mapped to exons of mRNAs. Globally, ALYREF binding shows two apparent enrichments on the mRNA, one is near the 5’ end and the other is very close to the 3’ end. In addition, numerous middle exons harbor ALYREF binding sites. CBP80 and PABPN1 mainly affect ALYREF binding at the 5’ and the 3’ region, respectively. Interestingly, we found that the 3’ processing factor CstF64 directly interacts with ALYREF and is required for the overall binding of ALYREF on the mRNA. Sequence analysis led to the identification of multiple
