Analysis of queuosine and 2-thio tRNA modifications by high throughput sequencing

ABSTRACT: Queuosine (Q) is a conserved tRNA modification at the wobble anticodon position of tRNAs that read the codons of amino acids Tyr, His, Asn, and Asp. Q-modification in tRNA plays important roles in the regulation of translation efficiency and fidelity. Queuosine tRNA modification is synthesized de novo in bacteria, whereas the substrate for Q-modification in tRNA in mammals is queuine, the catabolic product of the Q-base of gut bacteria. This gut microbiome dependent tRNA modification may play pivotal roles in translational regulation in different cellular contexts, but extensive studies of Q-modification biology are hindered by the lack of high throughput sequencing methods for its detection and quantitation. Here, we describe a periodate-treatment method of biological RNA samples that enables single base resolution profiling of Q-modification in tRNAs by Nextgen sequencing. Periodate oxidizes the Q-base, which results in specific deletion signatures in the RNA-seq data. Unexpectedly, we found that periodate-treatment also enables the detection of several 2-thio-modifications including τm5s2U, mcm5s2U, cmnm5s2U, and s2C by sequencing in human and E. coli tRNA. We term this method Periodate-dependent analysis of queuosine and thio modification sequencing (PAQS-seq). We assess Q- and 2-thio-modifications at the tRNA isodecoder level, and 2-thio modification changes in stress response. PAQS-seq should be widely applicable in the biological studies of Q- and 2-thio-modifications in mammalian and microbial tRNAs.

Detection of queuosine and queuosine precursors in tRNAs by direct RNA sequencing

Project description:Queuosine (Q) is a complex tRNA modification found at position 34 of four tRNAs with a GUN anticodon, and it regulates the translational efficiency and fidelity of the respective codons that differ at the Wobble position. In bacteria, the biosynthesis of Q involves two precursors, preQ0 and preQ1, whereas eukaryotes directly obtain Q from bacterial sources. The study of queuosine has been challenging due to the limited availability of high-throughput methods for its detection and analysis. Here, we have employed direct RNA sequencing using nanopore technology to detect the modification of tRNAs with Q and Q precursors. These modifications were detected with high accuracy on synthetic tRNAs as well as on tRNAs extracted from Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Escherichia coli by comparing unmodified to modified tRNAs using the tool JACUSA2. Furthermore, we present an improved protocol for the alignment of raw sequence reads that gives high specificity and recall for tRNAs ex cellulo that, by nature, carry multiple modifications. Altogether, our results show that such 7-deazaguanine-derivatives are readily detectable using direct RNA sequencing. This advancement opens up new possibilities for investigating these modifications in native tRNAs, furthering our understanding of their biological function.

Comparative tRNA-seq for rapid profiling of tRNA modifications in a non-model organism

Project description:tRNAs are heavily decorated with post-transcriptional modifications (tRNA modifications). Profile of tRNA modifications in non-model organisms are largely uncharacterized. Here using high-throughput sequencing, sites and frequency of tRNA modifications are predicted in Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli. During cDNA synthesis, some modifications cause misincorporation of a wrong base or termination of reverse transcription (RT). Using these RT-derived signatures we aim to explore organism-specific modifications and to track changes in modification frequency among different cellular conditions.

Effect of QTRT2 KO on mitochondrial translation

Project description:Mitochondria are organelles that generate most of the energy in eukaryotic cells in the form of ATP via oxidative phosphorylation in eukaryote. Twenty-two species of mitochondrial (mt-)tRNAs encoded in mtDNA are required to translate essential subunits of the respiratory chain complexes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. mt-tRNAs contain post-transcriptional modifications introduced by nuclear-encoded tRNA-modifying enzymes. These modifications are required for deciphering genetic code accurately, as well as stabilizing tRNA. Loss of tRNA modifications frequently results in severe pathological consequences. We performed a comprehensive analysis of post-transcriptional modifications of all human mt-tRNAs, including 14 previously-uncharacterized species, and revised the modification status of some of the previously studied species. In total, we found 17 kinds of RNA modifications at 137 positions (8.7% in 1,575 nucleobases) in 22 species of human mt-tRNAs. An up-to-date list of 34 genes responsible for human mt-tRNA modifications are provided. We here demonstrated that both QTRT1 and QTRT2 are required for biogenesis of queuosine (Q) at position 34 of four mt-tRNAs. Our results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the mitochondrial decoding system, and could help to elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of human mitochondrial diseases caused by aberrant tRNA modifications.

Queuosine modification protects cognate tRNAs against ribonuclease cleavage

Project description:Eukaryotic transfer RNAs (tRNA) contain on average 13 modifications that perform a wide range of roles in translation and in the generation of tRNA fragments that regulate gene expression. Queuosine (Q) modification occurs in the wobble anticodon position of tRNAs for amino acids His, Asn, Tyr, and Asp. In eukaryotes, Q modification is fully dependent on diet or on gut microbiome in multi-cellular organisms. Despite decades of study, cellular roles of Q modification remain to be fully elucidated. Here we show that in human cells, Q modification specifically protects its cognate tRNAHis and tRNAAsn against cleavage by ribonucleases. We generated cell lines that contain completely depleted or fully Q-modified tRNAs. Using these resources, we found that Q modification significantly reduces angiogenin cleavage of its cognate tRNAs in vitro. Q modification does not change the cellular abundance of the cognate full-length tRNAs, but alters the cellular content of their fragments in vivo in the absence and presence of stress. Our results provide a new biological aspect of Q modification and a mechanism of how Q modification alters small RNA pool in human cells.

Glycosylation of queuosine in tRNAs contributes to optimal translation and post-embryonic growth in vertebrates

Project description:Post-transcriptional modification of tRNAs is critical for protein synthesis. Queuosine (Q), a 7-deaza-guanosine derivative, is present at the first position of anticodons of several tRNA species. In vertebrate tRNAs for Tyr and Asp, Q is further glycosylated with galactose and mannose to generate galactosyl-queuosine (galQ) and mannosyl-queuosine (manQ), respectively. However, the biogenesis and physiological relevance of Q-glycosylation remain poorly understood. Here, we biochemically identified two RNA glycosylases, queuosine-tRNA galactosyltransferase (QTGAL) and queuosine-tRNA mannosyltransferase (QTMAN), and successfully reconstituted galQ and manQ formation on the respective tRNAs in the presence of nucleotide diphosphate sugars. Ribosome profiling analyses of human knockout (KO) cells of QTGAL and QTMAN revealed that Q-glycosylation slowed down elongation at the cognate codons, UAC and GAC (GAU), respectively. Furthermore, protein aggregates were significantly increased in both KO cell lines, indicating that Q-glycosylation contributes to proteostasis of nascent proteins. We determined atomic structures of human cytoplasmic tRNAs for Try and Asp bound to the ribosome A-site, providing the molecular basis of codon recognition regulated by galQ and manQ. Furthermore, zebrafish qtgal and qtman KO lines displayed shortened body length, suggesting Q-glycosylation is required for post-embryonic growth in vertebrates. These findings demonstrate that Q-glycosylation modulates codon-specific translation to optimize the decoding speed in protein synthesis, thereby maintaining correct folding of nascent proteins, proteome integrity, and normal growth of vertebrates.

Dts-seq: a simple method of library preparation for a highly reproducible characterization of the tRNA epitranscriptome by deep sequencing

Project description:High-throughput sequencing of cellular tRNAs is severely hindered by the presence of base modifications. These modifications impair the reverse transcription (RT) enzyme and prevent a large fraction of transcripts to be converted into cDNA in conventional sequence library preparation. Recent attempts to circumvent this issue made use of enzymatic treatments to remove methyl groups (Cozen et al. 2015; Zeng et al. 2015). This approach is, however, not fully satisfactory because it can clear the way to the RT enzyme for only a fraction of all tRNAs. Another approach takes advantage of the interference of modifications with RT enzymes to detect and identify them in fragmented RNA transcripts (Hauenschild et al. 2015; Helm and Motorin 2017; Schwartz and Motorin 2017). In line with this second approach, we present results of an alternate method that is simpler and fully adapted to the direct characterization and quantification of mature tRNA transcripts. An analysis of the obtained read coverages enables to generate highly reproductible patterns of termination signals that can be used to assess the modification state of all tRNAs.

Elucidating the human tRNA transcriptome dependent upon the TRMT1 and TRMT1L paralogs for modification, stability, and function

Project description:The tRNA methyltransferase 1 (TRMT1) enzyme catalyzes the formation of dimethylguanosine (m2,2G) in tRNAs. Loss-of-function mutations in TRMT1 lead to intellectual disability disorders in humans. In addition to TRMT1, vertebrates encode a tRNA methyltransferase 1-like (TRMT1L) paralog. Here, we use a comprehensive tRNA sequencing approach to decipher the landscape of tRNAs that are modified by human TRMT1 and TRMT1L. We find that TRMT1 modifies a single position in more than half of all cytoplasmic tRNAs and a subset of mitochondrial tRNAs. Notably, TRMT1 and TRMT1L catalyze m2,2G formation at distinct positions in tyrosine tRNAs that are each required for the efficient installation of additional modifications. Moreover, we identify a role for m2,2G modification in the stability of tyrosine and serine tRNAs that is abrogated in human patient cells homozygous for pathogenic TRMT1 variants. Human cells deficient in TRMT1 and/or TRMT1L exhibit reduced translation of specific codons, indicating that m2,2G modifications are necessary for maintaining functional levels of certain tRNAs. These findings uncover key roles for the m2,2G modification, and pinpoint tRNAs that are dysregulated in neurodevelopmental disorders caused by tRNA modification deficiency.

Global fine-tuning of translation by queuosinylation and Dnmt2-dependent tRNA methylation

Project description:In most eukaryotes, the wobble position of tRNA with a GUN anticodon is queuosine-modified (Q34). Q is synthesized exclusively by eubacteria and salvaged by eukaryotes as a nutrient to replace G34 in tRNAs. Q34 modification stimulates Dnmt2/Pmt1-dependent C38 methylation in the tRNAAsp anticodon loop in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Due to the location of both modification in the anticodon loop, we anticipated an influence on translation. Our experimental setup allowed for the analysis of effects from each modification alone or a combination of both.
