High-precision mapping reveals rare N6-deoxyadenosine methylation in the mammalian genome

ABSTRACT: DNA modification has been characterized as a critical epigenetic regulator in gene expression. N6-deoxyadenosine methylation (6mA) is the most widespread type in prokaryotes and some unicellular eukaryotes. Nevertheless, the lack of a precise and comprehensive mapping method greatly hinders studying the presence and biological significance of 6mA in mammals. Here, we develop a new method MM-seq (Modification-induced Mismatch Sequencing) for genome-wide 6mA mapping in single-base resolution. This method balances accuracy and sensitivity based on a novel detection principle. We find modified DNA bases are likely to flip out of the DNA duplex, forming a mismatch-like structure that an antibody can capture. The mismatch-like structure can be recognized by endonuclease or exonuclease, which marks the exact modified site for readout via sequencing. Using this method, we examine the genomic positions of 6mA in bacteria, green algae, and mammalian cells. We find that human and mouse genomes contain rare and randomly distributed 6mA sites, with almost no overlap between different cell types. After knock-out of the RNA m6A methyltransferase Mettl3, limited 6mA sites in gDNA are diminished. Our results support the perspective that rare 6mA in the mammalian genome is caused by the misincorporation of N6-methyladenine via the nucleotide-salvage pathway.

Sequencing of N6-methyl-deoxyadenosine at single-base resolution across the mammalian genome

Project description:While DNA N6-methyl-deoxyadenosine (6mA) is abundant in bacteria and protists, its presence and function in mammalian genomes have been less clear. We present Direct-Read 6mA sequencing (DR-6mA-seq), an antibody-independent method to measure 6mA at base-resolution with high sensitivity. DR-6mA-seq employs a unique mutation-based strategy to reveal 6mA sites as misincorporation signatures without any chemical or enzymatic modulation of 6mA. We validated DR-6mA-seq through successful mapping of the well-characterized G(6mA)TC motif in the E. coli DNA and identified 6mA sites in the mammalian mitochondrial DNA. As expected, when applying DR-6mA-seq to mammalian systems, we found that genomic DNA (gDNA) 6mA abundance is in general low in most mammalian tissues and cells; however, we did observe distinct gDNA 6mA sites in mouse testis and glioblastoma cells. DR-6mA-seq provides an enabling tool to detect 6mA at single-base resolution with high sensitivity for a comprehensive understanding of DNA 6mA in eukaryotes.

N6-Methyldeoxyadenosine Marks Active Transcription Start Sites in Chlamydomonas

Project description:N6-methyldeoxyadenosine (6mA or m6A) is a DNA modification preserved in prokaryotes to eukaryotes. It is widespread in bacteria, and functions in DNA mismatch repair, chromosome segregation, and virulence regulation. In contrast, the distribution and function of 6mA in eukaryotes have been unclear. Here we present a comprehensive analysis of the 6mA landscape in the genome of Chlamydomonas using new sequencing approaches. We identified the 6mA modification in 84% of genes in Chlamydomonas. We found that 6mA mainly locates at ApT dinucleotides around transcription start sites (TSS) with a bimodal distribution, and appears to mark active genes. A periodic pattern of 6mA deposition was also observed at base resolution, which is associated with nucleosome distribution near the TSS, suggesting a possible role in nucleosome positioning. The new genome-wide mapping of 6mA and its unique distribution in the Chlamydomonas genome suggest potential regulatory roles of 6mA in gene expression in eukaryotic organisms. Multiple sequencing methods are developed to profile the distribution of 6mA in Chlamydomonas including MeDIP-Seq, enzyme-treated DNA-Seq, MNase-Seq and RNA-Seq.

Abundant DNA 6mA methylation during early embryogenesis of zebrafish

Project description:DNA N6-methyldeoxyadenosine (6mA) is a well known prokaryotic DNA modification and has been shown to exist and play epigenetic roles in eukaryotic DNA. Here we report that 6mA accumulates up to 0.1% of total deoxyadenosine during early embryogenesis of vertebates, but diminishes with progression of the embryo development. During this process most 6mA locates in repetitive regions of the genome.

Characterization of eukaryotic DNA N6-methyladenine by a highly sensitive restriction enzyme-assisted sequencing

Project description:To interrogate single-base resolution 6mA sites in the genome-wide, we develop DA-6mA-seq (DpnI-Assisted N6-methylAdenine sequencing), an optimized sequencing method taking advantage of restriction enzyme DpnI, which exclusively cleaves methylated adenine sites. We find DpnI also recognizes other sequence motifs besides the canonical GATC restriction sites, largely expanding the application range of this method. DA-6mA-seq requires less starting material and lower sequencing depth than previous methods, but achieves higher sensitivity, providing a good strategy to identify 6mA in large genome with a low abundance of 6mA. We rebuild the 6mA maps of Chlamydomonas by DA-6mA-seq and then apply this method to another two eukaryotic organisms, Plasmodium and Penicillium. Further analysis reveals most 6mA sites are symmetric at various sequence contexts, suggesting 6mA may function as a new heritable epigenetic mark in eukaryotes. A new sequencing method is developed to detect 6mA in eukaryotes

The Effects of Low Temperature on the Global Increase of N6-methyldeoxyadenosine in Arabidopsis thaliana and Rice

Project description:N6-methyldeoxyadenosine (6mA) is a newly-discovered DNA modification that plays a role in regulating plant adaptation to abiotic stresses. However, the changes and molecular regulatory mechanisms of N6-methyldeoxyadenosine under cold stress in plants remain uncertain. Here, we found the global level of 6mA in both Arabidopsis and rice are raised after cold treatment. Genome-wide profiling of 6mA revealed that 6mA peaks are primarily distributed within gene body regions under both normal and low-temperature conditions. Additionally, genes that were up-methylated were enriched in various biological processes, while down-methylated genes did not exhibit any significant enrichment. Association analysis showed that 6mA was positively correlated with gene expression level and 6mA-containing genes displayed a significantly higher expression level than non-6mA-containing genes. Joint analysis of the 6mA methylome and transcriptome of Arabidopsis and rice revealed that the fluctuations in 6mA levels caused by exposure to cold did not correlate with the changes of transcript levels in response to low temperatures. Moreover, we found that 6mA modified orthologous genes exhibit high expression levels. However, upon cold treatment, only a small amount of differentially 6mA-methylated orthologous genes were shared between Arabidopsis and rice. In sum, this study profiled the changes of 6mA in response to cold temperature and has unlocked the potential of this DNA modification in regulating the expression of stress-related genes.

Project description:This dataset encompasses comprehensive analyses of the epigenetic mark N6-methyladenine (6mA) in human cell lines, focusing on its role under hypoxic conditions and its association with cancer progression. Addressing the challenge of 6mA's low abundance in mammals, we have innovated the 6mA-ChIP-exo-5.1 method. This technique enhances the sensitivity and accuracy of 6mA detection, employing exonuclease-dependent antibody-based approaches combined with whole genome amplification (WGA) to minimize potential noise and false positives.
