MRNA aging shapes the Cap2 methylome in mammalian mRNA

ABSTRACT: The mRNA cap structure is a major site of dynamic mRNA methylation. mRNA caps exist in either the Cap1 or Cap2 form, depending on the presence of 2’-O-methylation on the first, or both the first and second transcribed nucleotide, respectively. However, the identity of Cap2-containing mRNAs and the function of Cap2 are unclear. Here we describe CLAM-Cap-Seq, a method for transcriptome-wide mapping and quantification of Cap2. We find that unlike other epitranscriptomic modifications, Cap2 can occur on all mRNAs. Cap2 is formed through a slow continuous conversion of mRNAs from Cap1 to Cap2 as mRNAs age in the cytosol. As a result, Cap2 is enriched on long-lived mRNAs. We find that large increases in the abundance of Cap1 leads to activation of RIG-I, especially in conditions where RIG-I expression is increased. The methylation of Cap1 to Cap2 markedly reduces the ability of RNAs to bind and activate RIG-I. We find that the slow Cap2 methylation rate allows Cap2 to accumulate on host mRNAs yet ensures that low Cap2 levels occur on newly expressed viral RNAs. Overall, these results reveal an immunostimulatory role for Cap1, and that Cap2 functions to reduce activation of the innate immune response.

2'-O-methylation of the second transcribed nucleotide in eukaryotic RNA 5’ cap impacts protein production levels and susceptibility to DXO-mediated transcript degradation

Project description:Eukaryotic mRNA 5’ end is decorated with cap structure which plays multiple roles in the cell. Most importantly, protects transcript from exonucleolytic degradation and enables translation of encoded protein conducted by cap-dependent machinery. This is also a key feature in the process of recognizing RNA as self or non-self molecule by cellular innate immune system. Cap is composed of 7-methylguanosine linked by a 5′,5′-triphosphate chain to the first transcribed nucleotide, and is formed enzymatically during transcription. This m7GpppN structure, called cap0, can be further modified by CMTR1 methyltransferase to cap1 (m7GpppNm), which predominates in eukaryotic cells. Cap2, with additional 2′-O-methylation at the second transcribed nucleotide (m7GpppNmpNm) added by another methyltransferase CMTR2, also can be found at mRNA 5’ end. We present new tools allowing for in vitro synthesis of RNAs possessing cap2, i.e tetranucleotide cap analogues. Utilizing these for in vitro transcription reactions we obtained RNAs with 2′-O-methylation present at the second transcribed nucleotide. Due to that we investigated the role of cap2 in protein production from reporter mRNA protected with this structure in different conditions, normal or stress ones, or with CMTR1/2 down regulated level. We also assessed the affinity of eIF4E protein to differentially capped RNAs. Furthermore, we verified whether an additional 2′-O-methylation presence in capped RNA makes transcript more resistant to decapping enzyme action.

Essential roles of RNA cap-proximal ribose methylation in mammalian embryonic development and fertility

Project description:Eukaryotic RNA pol II transcripts are capped at the 5′ end by the methylated guanosine (m7G) moiety. In higher eukaryotes, CMTR1 and CMTR2 catalyse cap-proximal ribose methylations on the first (cap1) and second (cap2) nucleotides, respectively. These modifications mark RNAs as ‘self’, blocking the activation of the innate immune response pathway. Here we show that loss of mouse Cmtr1 or Cmtr2 leads to embryonic lethality, with non-overlapping sets of transcripts being regulated, without activation of the interferon pathway. In contrast, Cmtr1 mutant adult mouse livers exhibit a chronic activation of the interferon pathway, with multiple interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) being expressed. Conditional deletion of Cmtr1 in the male germline leads to infertility, while global translation is unaffected in the Cmtr1 mutant mouse liver and human cells. Thus, mammalian cap1 and cap2 modifications have an essential role in embryonic gene regulation that is independent of their established role in evading the innate immune system.

The CAP1 represses MRTF-SRF–dependent gene expression in the mouse cerebral cortex by an actin-dependent mechanism

Project description:Serum response factor (SRF) is a ubiquitously expressed transcription factor that is essential for brain development and function. SRF activity is controlled by two competing classes of coactivators, myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTF) and ternary complex factors, which introduce specificity into gene expression programs. Here, we explored the MRTF-mediated regulatory mechanism in mouse cortical neurons. Using gene-reporter assays and pharmacological and genetic approaches in isolated mouse cortical neurons, we found that cyclase-associated protein 1 (CAP1) repressed neuronal MRTF-SRF activity. CAP1 promoted cytosolic retention of MRTF by controlling cytosolic G-actin levels that required its helical folded domain and its CARP domain. This function of CAP1 was not redundant with that of its homolog CAP2 and was independent of cofilin1 and actin-depolymerizing factor. Deep RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry in cerebral cortex lysates from CAP1 knockout (CAP1-KO) mice supported the in vivo relevance for the CAP1-actin-MRTF-SRF signaling axis. Our study identified CAP1 as a repressor of neuronal gene expression and led to the identification of likely MRTF-SRF target genes in the developing cerebral cortex, whose dysregulation may contribute to impaired formation of neuronal networks in CAP1-KO mice. Together with our previous studies that implicated CAP1 in actin dynamics in axonal growth cones or excitatory synapses, we established CAP1 as a crucial actin regulator in neurons.

Reversible methylation of m6Am in the 5′ cap controls mRNA stability

Project description:Internal bases in mRNA can be subjected to modifications that influence the fate of mRNA in cells. One of the most prevalent modified bases is found at the 5′ end of mRNA, at the first encoded nucleotide adjacent to the 7-methylguanosine cap. Here we show that this nucleotide, N6,2′-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am), is a reversible modification that influences cellular mRNA fate. Using a transcriptome-wide map of m6Am we find that m6Am-initiated transcripts are markedly more stable than mRNAs that begin with other nucleotides. We show that the enhanced stability of m6Am-initiated transcripts is due to resistance to the mRNA-decapping enzyme DCP2. Moreover, we find that m6Am is selectively demethylated by fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO). FTO preferentially demethylates m6Am rather than N6-methyladenosine (m6A), and reduces the stability of m6Am mRNAs. Together, these findings show that the methylation status of m6Am in the 5′ cap is a dynamic and reversible epitranscriptomic modification that determines mRNA stability.

High-resolution mapping reveals a conserved, widespread, dynamic meiotically regulated mRNA methylation program [Mm]

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a common modification of mRNA, with potential roles in fine-tuning the RNA life cycle, but little is known about the pathways regulating this process and its physiological role. Here, we used mass-spectrometry to identify a dense network of proteins physically interacting with METTL3, a core component of the methyltransferase complex, and show that two of them, WTAP and KIAA1429, are required for methylation. Combining high resolution m6A-Seq with knockdown of WTAP allowed us to define accurate maps, at near single-nucleotide resolution, of sites of mRNA methylation across four dynamic programs in human and mouse, including development, differentiation, reprogramming and immune response. Internal WTAP-dependent methylation sites were largely static across the different surveyed conditions and present in the majority of mRNAs. However, methylations were found at much lower levels within highly expressed mRNAs, and methylation is inversely correlated with mRNA stability, consistent with a role in establishing an overall basal, cell-type invariant, distribution of degradation rates. In addition, we identify thousands of WTAP-independent methylation sites at transcription initiation sites, forming part of the mRNA cap structure. We show that the methylations occur at the first transcribed nucleotide, and find that thousands of transcripts are present in different isoforms differing in the methylation state of the first transcribed nucleotide, a previously unappreciated complexity of the transcriptome. Together, our data sheds new light on the proteomic and transcriptional underpinnings of this epitranscriptomic modification in mammals. Examination of m6A methylation across different knockdowns using shRNAs in mouse embryonic fibroblasts, in embyronic and adult brains, and in dendritic cell stimulated with LPS.

Reducing cell intrinsic immune responses to mRNA vaccine constructs improves adaptive immune response in mice

Project description:The response to mRNA vaccines needs to be sufficient for immune cell activation and recruitment but moderate enough to ensure efficacious antigen expression. The choice of the cap structure and use of N1-methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ) instead of uridine, which have been shown to reduce RNA sensing by the cellular innate immune system, has led to improved efficacy of mRNA vaccine platforms. Understanding how RNA modifications influence the cell intrinsic immune response may help in the development of more effective mRNA vaccines. In the current study, we compared mRNA vaccines in mice against influenza virus using three different mRNA formats: uridine-containing mRNA (D1-uRNA), m1Ψ- modified mRNA (D1-modRNA), and m1Ψ-modified mRNA with a cap1 structure (cC1-modRNA). D1-uRNA vaccine induced a significantly different gene expression profile to the modified mRNA vaccines, with an upregulation of Stat1 and RnaseL, and increased systemic inflammation. This correlated with a significantly reduced antigen specific antibody responses and reduced protection against influenza virus infection compared to D1-modRNA and cC1-modRNA. Incorporation of m1Ψ alone without cap1 improved antibodies, but both modifications were required for the optimum response. Therefore, the incorporation of m1Ψ and cap1 alters protective immunity from mRNA vaccines by altering the innate immune response to the vaccine material
