METTL3-mediated chromatin contacts promote phase separation during senescence [Mettl3-HiChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Cellular senescence is a stable state of growth arrest that emerges as a response to stress. The methyltransferase complex (MTC) has been shown to facilitate the expression of the senescence-associated secretion phenotype (SASP) factors via genome-wide redistribution. However, whether and how MTC impacts on the three-dimensional (3D) chromatin organization and its functional implications during senescence remain largely unknown. Here we show that the MTC complex coordinates its enzymatic activity-dependent and -independent functions to enforce cellular senescence. Specifically, METTL3-mediated chromatin loops induce Hexokinase 2 (HK2) expression during senescence. The elevated HK2 expression subsequently promotes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), manifesting as stress granules. These phase-separated stress granules act as reservoirs to sequester cell-cycle related mRNAs harboring polymethylated m6A sites, impeding their efficient translation. Overall, we uncover a mechanism by which senescent cells utilize phase-separated stress granules, facilitated by MTC-mediated HK2 activation, to sequester cell-cycle related mRNAs in governing senescence-associated stable growth arrest.

RNA-seq and ribosome profiling of heat shocked wild type and Mettl14 -/- mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a dynamic and reversible nucleotide modification in mRNA. m6A alters mRNA fate, but it is unclear why the effects of m6A can vary in different cellular contexts. Here we show that methylated mRNAs are catalysts for liquid-liquid phase separation of the YTHDF family of m6A-binding proteins. RNAs that contain multiple, but not single, m6A residues recruit multiple YTHDF proteins, causing them to undergo a proximity-induced phase separation. YTHDF proteins show liquid-like properties upon binding polymethylated mRNAs in cells, and partition into endogenous phase-separated compartments, such as P-bodies, neuronal RNA granules, and stress granules. The complexes of YTHDF proteins and polymethylated mRNAs are targeted to different compartments depending on the cell context, leading to different effects on m6A mRNAs. These studies reveal a role for nucleotide modifications in regulating phase separation and indicate that the cellular properties of m6A-modified mRNAs can be explained by liquid-liquid phase separation principles.

Ribosome profiling on heat shocked wild type and Mettl14 -/- mES cells

Project description:Abstract : "A hallmark of the cellular response to environmental stress is the formation of stress granules. Stress granules are RNA-protein assemblies that provide an adaptive response to stress; however, the basis for their formation and how they contribute to the stress response remains incompletely understood. Here we show that the mRNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a mark that targets mRNAs to stress granules. We find that m6A mRNAs are highly enriched in stress granules, and this is mediated by m6A-induced liquid-liquid phase separation of the YTHDF family of m6A-binding proteins. These proteins bind poly-methylated m6A mRNAs, causing them to form liquid droplets that partition into stress granules. Moreover, disrupting either m6A or YTHDF proteins prevents stress granule formation." The goal of this experiment is to understand how recruitment of m6A mRNA to stress granules influences the translational response to heat shock. Result: we found that m6A-containing mRNA are preferentially repressed during stress, and that m6A is required for translational recovery after heat shock

RNA-seq of arsenite-induced stress granule transcriptomes in control and Mettl3- and m6A-depleted mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs)

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant nucleotide modification found on mRNA. m6A has been previously shown to facilitate recruitment of mRNAs to stress granules due to interactions between m6A and the YTHDF proteins. Although protein-RNA interactions are known to contribute to the recruitment of mRNAs to stress granules, the predominant driver of mRNA recruitment to stress granules is thought to be RNA-RNA interactions between long RNAs. Here, we show that m6A contributes significantly to the length-dependent effect of mRNA enrichment in stress granules and that upon depletion of METTL3, the enzyme responsible for adding m6A to nascent transcripts, the nature of the stress granule transcriptome is fundamentally altered by greatly reducing the propensity of long mRNAs to enter stress granules. This reveals that not only does m6A enhance the phase separation of mRNAs, but that it is a driving force underpinning length-dependent enrichment of mRNAs in stress granules.

Heat shock chaperone HSPB1 regulates cytoplasmic TDP-43 phase separation and liquid-to-gel transition

Project description:While acetylated, RNA binding deficient TDP-43 reversibly phase separates within nuclei into complex droplets (anisosomes) comprised of TDP-43-containing liquid outer shells and liquid centers of HSP70 family chaperones, cytoplasmic aggregates of TDP-43 are hallmarks of multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS. Here we show that transient oxidative stress, proteasome inhibition, or inhibition of HSP70’s ATP-dependent chaperone activity provokes reversible cytoplasmic TDP-43 de-mixing and transition from liquid to gel/solid, independent of RNA binding or stress granules. Proxmity labeling coupled with quantitative mass spectrometry is used to identify that phase separated cytoplasmic TDP-43 is bound by the small heat shock protein HSPB1.

LC-MS/MS analysis of co-immunoprecipitation products of METTL3

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation of mRNA by the methyltransferase complex (MTC), with core components including METTL3-METTL14 heterodimers and Wilms’ tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP), contributes to breast tumorigenesis, but the mechanism of MTC assembly remains elusive. Here, we identify a novel cleaved form METTL3a (residues 239-580 of METTL3), that is highly expressed in breast cancer. Furthermore, we find that both METTL3a and full-length METTL3 are required for MTC assembly, RNA m6A deposition, as well as cancer cell proliferation. Mechanistically, we find that METTL3a is required for METTL3-METTL3 interaction, which is a prerequisite step for recruitment of WTAP in MTC assembly. Analysis of m6A sequencing data shows that depletion of METTL3a globally disrupts m6A methylation, and METTL3a mediates mTOR activation via m6A-mediated suppression of TMEM127 expression. Consequently, we find that METTL3 cleavage is mediated by proteasome in an mTOR-dependent manner, revealing positive regulatory feedback between METTL3a and mTOR signaling. Our findings reveal METTL3a as an important component for MTC assembly, and suggest the METTL3a-mTOR axis as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer.
