Project description:The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in almost all eukaryotic messenger RNAs, and is dynamically regulated. Therefore, identification of m6A readers is especially important in determining the cellular function of m6A. YTHDF2 has recently been characterized as the first m6A reader that regulates the cytoplasmic stability of methylated RNA. Here we show that YTHDC1 is a nuclear m6A reader and report the crystal structure of the YTH domain of YTHDC1 bound to m6A-containing RNA. We further determined the structure of another YTH domain, YTHDF1, and found that the YTH domain utilizes a conserved aromatic cage to specifically recognize the methyl group of m6A. Our structural characterizations of the YTHDC1-m6A RNA complex also shed light on the molecular basis for the preferential binding of the GG(m6A)C sequence by YTHDC1 and confirm the YTH domain as a specific m6A RNA reader. PAR-CLIP (Photoactivatable-Ribonucleoside-Enhanced Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation) was applied to human YTHDC1 protein to identify its binding sites.

Project description:The RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has critical roles in many biological processes. However, the function of m6A in the early phase of mammalian development remains poorly understood. Here we show that the m6A reader YT521-B homology-domain-containing protein 1 (YTHDC1) is required for the maintenance of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells in an m6A-dependent manner, and that its deletion initiates cellular reprogramming to a 2C-like state. Mechanistically, YTHDC1 binds to the transcripts of retrotransposons (such as intracisternal A particles, ERVK and LINE1) in mouse ES cells and its depletion results in the reactivation of these silenced retrotransposons, accompanied by a global decrease in SETDB1-mediated trimethylation at lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3K9me3). We further demonstrate that YTHDC1 and its target m6A RNAs act upstream of SETDB1 to repress retrotransposons and Dux, the master inducer of the two-cell stage (2C)-like program. This study reveals an essential role for m6A RNA and YTHDC1 in chromatin modification and retrotransposon repression. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common internal modification in eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and plays essential roles in mammals. The function of this chemical modification is deciphered by m6A-specific binding proteins of the YTH family. Recent studies indicated that m6A methyltransferase METTL3 ('writer') and demethylase FTO ('eraser') play critical roles in cardiovascular diseases. However, function of m6A 'reader' proteins in the heart is still largely unknown. Here, we report that cardiac-specific ablation of Ythdc1 in postnatal heart exhibits progressive dilated cardiomyopathy, heart failure and dramatically increases the incidence of postnatal lethality. Mechanically, the transcript of Titin-the major DCM and heart failure related gene-is decorated by m6A modification and directly recognized by YTHDC1, deficiency of Ythdc1 in heart results in abnormal splicing of TTN and disarray of sarcomeric structures in the cardiomyocytes subsequently. Collectively, we demonstrated that YTHDC1-dependent TTN splicing is crucial for the postnatal heart development and cardiac function, which probably provides a potential target for treating DCM through tuning m6A modification of TTN mRNA.

Project description:Cells have evolved a robust and highly regulated DNA damage response to preserve their genomic integrity. Although increasing evidence highlights the relevance of RNA regulation, our understanding of its impact on a fully efficient DNA damage response remains limited. Here, through a targeted CRISPR-knockout screen, we identified RNA binding proteins and modifiers that participate in mediating the p53 response. Among the top hits, m6A reader YTHDC1 was identified as a master regulator of p53 expression. YTHDC1 binds to the transcription start sites ofTP53and other genes involved in DNA damage response, promoting their transcriptional elongation. YTHDC1 deficiency leads to reducedTP53expression, and also retention of introns leading to aberrant protein production of key DNA damage factors. While intron retention is dependent on m6A, YTHDC1 favoursTP53transcriptionalpause-release independently of m6A. Depletion of YTHDC1 causes genomic instability and aberrant cancer cell proliferation mediated by genes regulated by YTHDC1. Our results uncover YTHDC1 as an orchestrator of the DNA damage response through distinct mechanisms of co-transcriptional mRNA regulation.

Project description:RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification and its regulators fine tune gene expression and contribute to tumorigenesis. Here, we uncover the oncogenic role and mechanism of YTHDC1, an m6A reader positively correlated to poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. In a mammary fat pad mouse model, YTHDC1 significantly promoted lung metastasis of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Using transcriptome-wide sequencing techniques, we found dysregulation of metastasis-related pathways following YTHDC1 depletion and demonstrated that YTHDC1 is critical for nuclear export of SMAD3 mRNA. YTHDC1 depletion desensitizes TNBC cells to TGF-β, resulting in impaired TGF-β-induced gene signature and inhibition on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell migration/invasion, which could be at least partially restored by SMAD3 overexpression. Furthermore, we show that the ability of YTHDC1 to recognize m6A on SMAD3 RNA is important for its oncogenic role. Collectively, our study unravels YTHDC1 as vital for distant TNBC metastasis by promoting TGF-β-mediated EMT via SMAD3.

Project description:The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most prevalent internal RNA modification in eukaryotes. The majority of m6A sites are found in the last exon and 3' UTRs. Here we show that the nuclear m6A reader YTHDC1 is essential for embryo viability and germline development in mouse. Specifically, YTHDC1 is required for spermatogonial development in males and for oocyte growth and maturation in females; Ythdc1-deficient oocytes are blocked at the primary follicle stage. Strikingly, loss of YTHDC1 leads to extensive alternative polyadenylation in oocytes, altering 3' UTR length. Furthermore, YTHDC1 deficiency causes massive alternative splicing defects in oocytes. The majority of splicing defects in mutant oocytes are rescued by introducing wild-type, but not m6A-binding-deficient, YTHDC1. YTHDC1 is associated with the pre-mRNA 3' end processing factors CPSF6, SRSF3, and SRSF7. Thus, YTHDC1 plays a critical role in processing of pre-mRNA transcripts in the oocyte nucleus and may have similar non-redundant roles throughout fetal development.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) on chromosome-associated regulatory RNAs (carRNAs), including repeat RNAs, plays important roles in tuning the chromatin state and transcription, but the intrinsic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we report that YTHDC1 plays indispensable roles in the embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal and differentiation potency, which highly depends on its m6A-binding ability. Ythdc1 is required for sufficient rRNA synthesis and repression of the 2-cell transcriptional program in ESCs, which recapitulates the transcriptome regulation by the LINE1 scaffold. Detailed analyses revealed that YTHDC1 recognizes m6A on LINE1 RNAs in the nucleus and regulates the formation of the LINE1-NCL partnership and the chromatin recruitment of KAP1. Moreover, the establishment of H3K9me3 on LINE1 scaffold-regulated regions, including 2-cell retrotransposons, is interrupted in Ythdc1-depleted ESCs and inner cell mass (ICM) cells, which consequently increases the transcriptional activities. Our study reveals a role of m6A in regulating the RNA scaffold, providing a new model for the RNA-chromatin cross-talk.
