Anomalous reverse transcription through chemical modifications in polyadenosine stretches

ABSTRACT: Thermostable reverse transcriptases are workhorse enzymes underlying nearly all modern techniques for RNA structure mapping and for transcriptome-wide discovery of RNA chemical modifications. Despite their wide use, these enzymes’ behaviors at chemical modified nucleotides remain poorly understood. Wellington-Oguri et al. recently reported an apparent loss of chemical modification within putatively unstructured polyadenosine stretches modified by dimethyl sulfate or 2’ hydroxyl acylation, as probed by reverse transcription. Here, re-analysis of these and other publicly available data, capillary electrophoresis experiments on chemically modified RNAs, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy on A 12 and variants show that this effect is unlikely to arise from an unusual structure of polyadenosine. Instead, tests of different reverse transcriptases on chemically modified RNAs and molecules synthesized with single 1-methyladenosines implicate a previously uncharacterized reverse transcriptase behavior: near-quantitative bypass through chemical modifications within polyadenosine stretches. All tested natural and engineered reverse transcriptases (MMLV; SuperScript II, III, and IV; TGIRT-III; and MarathonRT) exhibit this anomalous bypass behavior. Accurate DMS-guided structure modeling of the polyadenylated HIV-1 3´ untranslated region RNA requires taking into account this anomaly. Our results suggest that poly(rA-dT) hybrid duplexes can trigger unexpectedly effective reverse transcriptase bypass and that chemical modifications in poly(A) mRNA tails may be generally undercounted.

Evolution of a Reverse Transcriptase to Map N1-Methyladenosine in Human mRNA

Project description:Chemical modifications on mRNA are increasingly recognized as a critical regulatory layer of the flow of genetic information, but quantitative tools to monitor RNA modifications in a whole-transcriptome and site-specific manner are lacking. Here we describe a versatile directed evolution platform that rapidly selects for reverse transcriptases that install mutations during reverse transcription at sites of a given type of RNA modification, allowing for site-specific identification of the modification. To develop and validate the platform, we evolved the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase against N1-methyladenosine (m1A). Iterative rounds of selection yielded reverse transcriptases with both robust read-through and high mutation rates at m1A sites. We apply the evolved reverse transcriptase to identify thousands of statistically confident m1A sites in human mRNA, some of which can be detected in antibody-free RNA-seq libraries. Together, this work develops and validates the reverse transcriptase evolution platform and provides new tools, analysis methods, and datasets to study m1A biology.

Interpreting reverse transcriptase termination and mutation events for greater insight into the chemical probing of RNA

Project description:Chemical probing has the power to provide insight into RNA conformation in vivo and in vitro, but interpreting the results depends on methods to detect the chemically modified nucleotides. Traditionally, the presence of modified bases was inferred from their ability to halt reverse transcriptase during primer extension and the locations of termination sites observed by electrophoresis or sequencing. More recently, modification-induced mutations have been used as a readout for chemical probing data. Given variable propensity for mismatch incorporation and read-through with different reverse transcriptases, we examined how termination and mutation events compare to each other in the same chemical probing experiments. We found that mutations and terminations induced by dimethyl sulfate probing are both specific for methylated bases, but these two measures have surprisingly little correlation and represent largely non-overlapping indicators of chemical modification data. We also show that specific biases for modified bases depend partly on local sequence context, and that different reverse transcriptases show different biases toward reading a modification as a stop or a mutation. These results support approaches that incorporate analysis of both termination and mutation events into RNA probing experiments.

N1-methylpseudouridine found within COVID-19 mRNA vaccines produces faithful protein products

Project description:Given the interest in the COVID mRNA vaccines, we sought to investigate how the RNA modification N1-methylpseudouridine (and its related modification, pseudouridine) is read by ribosomes and reverse transcriptases. By looking at reverse transcriptase data, we can gain information on how the modification affects duplex stability, which may have important consequences for the tRNA-mRNA interactions found in the ribosome.

Nm-Mut-seq: The base-resolution quantitative method for mapping transcriptome-wide 2’-O-methylations

Project description:2’-O-methylation (Nm) is a prevalent post-transcriptional RNA modification present in many cellular RNAs and plays a critical role in modulating both the physical properties and regulation of eukaryotic RNAs. Studies of Nm modifications in RNA have long been hampered by a lack of effective mapping methods. Previously reported approaches can work well for detecting Nm modifications on abundant RNAs, but face challenges when applied to low-abundant RNAs, such as mRNA, lack stoichiometric information, and are challenged by issues of RNA sample degradation due to chemical treatment. Here, we present Nm-Mut-seq, a mutation signature-based Nm mapping method, which uses a custom reverse transcriptase (RT) that installs mutations at Am, Cm, and Gm-modified sites (Um is undetectable by this method). Our work provides a much-needed approach to detect Nm at base resolution in low abundant RNAs and to estimate the stoichiometry of each modified site transcriptome-wide.

Profiling tRNA modifications in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Diverse chemical modifications fine-tune the function and metabolism of tRNA. Although tRNA modification is universal in all kingdoms of life, profiles of modifications, their functions, and physiological roles have not been elucidated in most organisms including the human pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis. To identify physiologically important modifications, we surveyed the tRNA of Mtb, using tRNA sequencing (tRNA-seq). Reverse transcription-derived error signatures in tRNA-seq predicted the sites and presence of 9 modifications. Several chemical treatments prior to tRNA-seq expanded the number of predictable modifications. Deletion of Mtb genes encoding two modifying enzymes, TruB and MnmA, eliminated their respective tRNA modifications, validating the presence of modified sites in tRNA species.

Transcriptomic analysis of the abundance of snoRNAs and their host genes in 4 different cell lines, using low structure bias TGIRT-seq

Project description:Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are highly abundant non-coding RNAs whose canonical function is to guide the 2’-O-ribose methylation or pseudouridylation of ribosomal RNAs. They are often encoded in longer genes referred to as their host genes, the expression of which is required for their own biogenesis. Due to their very stable structure, reverse transcription of snoRNAs using standard viral reverse transcriptases is very inefficient, and does not provide an adequate view of the abundance of these small RNAs. We thus employed high-throughput, low structure bias TGIRT-seq sequencing to quantified the abundance of the entire ribodepleted transcriptome, including snoRNAs and their host genes, in 4 different cell lines.

Efficient and quantitative high-throughput tRNA sequencing

Project description:Despite its biological importance, transfer RNA (tRNA) could not be adequately sequenced due to the abundant presence of post-transcriptional modifications and extensive structure that interfere with cDNA synthesis and adapter ligation. We achieve efficient and quantitative tRNA sequencing by removing base methylations using engineered demethylases and using a highly processive thermo-stable reverse transcriptase without the need for adapter ligation (DMTRT-tRNA-seq). Our method should be applicable for biological investigations of tRNA in all organisms.

Promoted Read-through and Mutation Against Pseudouridine-CMC By An Evolved Reverse Transcriptase

Project description:Pseudouridine (Y) is an abundant chemical modification that plays critical roles in cellular RNA metabolism and functions, and in RNA therapeutic applications. Transcriptome-wide mapping technologies present major advantages in discovering the functional contexts and crucial effector proteins of Y. Current mapping strategies for Ys are limited in identifying Ys at base-resolution within consecutive uridine sequence contexts where Y occurs frequently. Here we report “Mut-Y-seq” that utilities a recently evolved reverse transcriptase (“RT-1306”) coupled with the selective labeling of Y by the CMC treatment to identify Ys in mRNAs and non-coding RNAs from human cells. We showed that RT-1306 showed significantly promoted read-through and mutation signatures against the CMC-Y adduct; the mutation signatures generated by RT-1306 can discern the position of Y in consecutive uridine sequence contexts. We quantitatively characterized the Y-identification efficiencies by Mut-Y-seq under variable chemical treatment conditions by the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and revealed the presence of potential false positive discoveries generated by side-reactions on unmodified uridines. Finally, the intersection of sites identified by orthogonal chemical treatments (i.e. CMC and bisulfite) produced a high-confidence list of Y sites in mRNAs and non-ribosomal long non-coding RNAs from HEK-293T cells. This report presents datasets for biological functional studies of endogenous Y sites, and sheds light on the combination of the reverse transcriptase engineering and selective chemical reactions for further expanding the toolkit for studying RNA chemical modifications.
