PfNSUN1 protein programs gene expression regulation in Plasmodium falciparum [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: C5 methylation of cytosines is a common RNA modification in eukaryotes, and the NSUN family are essential m5C modification executors. Currently, little is known about this family in Plasmodium spp. Thus, we constructed the pfnsun1 knockdown strain, and the knockdown efficiency was confirmed by growth curves and western blot experiments. The knockdown transcriptome data was acquired to find differentially expressed genes, and target genes of PfNSUN1 protein were identified by RNA immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing experiments. Our data revealed that pfnsun1 is an indispensable RNA post-transcriptional modification regulator in P. falciparum that regulates gene expression.

Translational adaptation to heat stress is mediated by 5-methylcytosine RNA modification in Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:In order to fulfil a wide range of cellular functions, RNA molecules contain, in addition to the four canonical bases, a large number of chemically modified structures. Among those, the methylation of carbon-5 of cytosines (m5C) is an abundant, widespread mark in different classes of RNAs. m5C is catalysed by DNMT2 and by seven members of the NSUN family of enzymes. While some m5C-methyltransferases have been studied individually and implicated in phenotypes observed in organisms ranging from yeast to humans, it remains unclear how the m5C methylome acts to sustain development in homeostasis and stress. Here, using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism, we developed the first organism devoid of detectable m5C in RNA, providing strong evidence that this modification and its derivatives are non-essential for the nematode’s development and fertility under standard laboratory conditions. We further used this genetic tool to determine the localisation of m5C sites in different RNA classes, and showed that NSUN-4 acts as a multisite-specific tRNA/rRNA methyltransferase in the mitochondria. In addition, we show that m5C is required for adaptation to temperature changes, as animals devoid of this modification present temperature-sensitive fertility defects. At the molecular level, we show that loss of m5C leads to increased ribosome pausing at triplets encoding for leucine and proline, the most frequently methylated tRNA isoacceptors in C. elegans. This is correlated with reduced translation efficiency of transcripts enriched in these amino acids. Finally, we found translation of Leu-UUG codons to be the most strongly affected upon heat shock, suggesting a role of m5C wobble methylation in the adaptation to heat stress.

Identification of putative reader proteins of RNA 5-methylcytosine and its derivatives in Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:Methylation of carbon-5 of cytosines (m5C) is a conserved post-transcriptional nucleotide modification of RNA with widespread distribution across organisms. m5C has been shown to participate in mRNA transport and maintain mRNA stability through its recognition by the reader proteins ALYREF and YBX1, respectively. We recently showed that m5C is required for Caenorhabditis elegans development and fertility under heat stress. To contribute to the understanding of how m5C and its oxidative derivatives mediate their functions, we developed RNA baits bearing modified cytosines in diverse structural contexts to pulldown potential readers in C. elegans. Our mass spectrometry analyses reveal unique binding proteins for each of the modifications. We validate our dataset by demonstrating that the nematode ALYREF homologues ALY-1 and ALY-2 preferentially bind m5C in vitro. The dataset presented here serves as an important scientific resource that will support the discovery of new functions of m5C and its derivatives.

Study on the functional mechanism of NOP2 in regulating lung cancer development

Project description:NOP2 is a member of the NOL1/NOP2/SUN structural domain (NSUN) family and is responsible for catalyzing post-transcriptional modification of RNA via 5-methylcytosine (m5C). m5C modification dysregulation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of malignancies. Here, we investigated the expression of NOP2 in lung cancer tissues and cells and found that its expression was significantly upregulated. This is consistent with previous reports. To further investigate the mechanism by which NOP2 affects lung cancer development, RNA sequence analysis was performed. In conclusion, our study emphasizes the important role of NOP2 in lung cancer, and its promise as a potential target for lung cancer therapy.

Epitranscriptomic maps of 5-methylcytosine reveal substrate diversity of NSUN methyltransferases and links to mRNA translation and turnover

Project description:Multiple epitranscriptomic maps of the RNA modification 5-methylcytosine (m5C) have been prepared, often diverging markedly from each other in terms of site abundance and identity. Differences in detection methods, data depth and analysis pipelines, but also biological factors underly much of this disparity. To address this, we re-analysed available datasets from five human cell lines and seven tissues, generated by the prevailing bisulfite RNA sequencing method, with a coherent m5C site calling pipeline. We used the resulting union list of 6,393 m5C sites called across the broader transcriptome to study site distribution, enzymology, interaction with RNA-binding proteins and molecular function. We confirmed prior observations such as predominance of m5C sites within mRNA exons, enrichment around start codons, and that the tRNA:m5C methyltransferases (MTases) NSUN2 and 6 are the main m5C ‘writers’ for mRNAs. Each NSUN enzyme recognises mRNA features that strongly resemble their respective canonical substrates. Assessing proximity between mRNA m5C sites and footprints of RNA-binding proteins reconfirmed the mRNA export factor ALYREF as an m5C ‘reader’ and identified new candidates for functional interactions, including the RNA helicases DDX3X, involved in mRNA translation, and UPF1, an mRNA decay factor. Experiments in HeLa cells lacking NSUN2 showed that this affected both, steady-state level and UPF1-binding to target mRNAs. Our studies emphasise the emerging diversity of both, m5C writers and readers, affecting mRNA function.

Distinct NSun methylases control cytosine-5 methylation of messenger, mitochondrial and transfer RNA: implications for human diseases [Bisulfite-Seq dermal fibroblasts]

Project description:Aberrant post-transcriptional methylation is implicated in a wide range of human diseases, yet the specific enzymes responsible for site- and substrate-specific methylation remain largely unknown. Here, we use our recently developed catalysis-dependent RIP sequencing approach (miCLIP) and RNA bisulfite sequencing to map C5-methylcytosine (m5C) in the human transcriptome. We identified two novel m5C methylases NSun3 and NSun6, both of which have strong substrate specificity. In contrast to the previously characterized NSun2, which displays some preference to methylating transfer RNAs (tRNA), NSun6 predominantly targeted 3’ UTRs of messenger RNAs (mRNA), and NSun3 mainly methylated mitochondrial RNAs (mtRNA). Consistent with the miCLIP-predicted RNA target specificity, whole exome sequencing identified NSUN3 loss-of-function mutations in a patient presenting with combined respiratory chain complex deficiency. Functional studies of the patient fibroblast cell line revealed that loss of the NSun3 protein resulted in severe mitochondrial translation defects, which were rescued by expression of wild-type NSun3. In summary, our results reveal how highly conserved NSun m5C methylases partition their substrate specificities to remodel the sequences of particular ribonucleotide classes.

Genome-wide miCLIP-Seq reveals methylation targets and RNA interactome of human NOP2/NSUN1

Project description:5-Methylcytosine (m5C) is a base modification broadly found on a variety on coding and non-coding RNAs in the human transcriptome. In eukaryotes m5C is catalyzed by enzymes of the NOL1/NOP2/SUN domain (NSUN) family, which is composed of seven members in humans (NSUN1-7). NOP2/NSUN1, a member of this family, has been mostly characterized in budding yeast as an essential ribosome biogenesis factor required for the deposition of m5C at position C2870 of the 25S rRNA. Although human NOP2/NSUN1 has been known to be an oncogene overexpressed in several types of cancer for decades, its functions remain poorly characterized. To better define the roles of NOP2/NSUN1 in human cells, we used an adapted genome-wide methylation of individual-nucleotide-resolution crosslinking and immunoprecipitation-sequencing (miCLIP-seq) approach to identify its RNA methylation targets. Our analysis revealed that vault RNA 1.2 (vtRNA1.2) and 28S rRNA are NOP2/NSUN1-specific methylated targets. In addition, NOP2/NSUN1 predominantly binds to rRNA, followed by C/D box snoRNA, and other ncRNAs. Together, our data provided a genome-wide spectrum of NOP2/NSUN1 binding RNA and methylated target RNA for understanding the function of human NOP2/NSUN1.

RNA expression and m5c modification in NSUN2 kncok down CaSki cell

Project description:5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification ubiquitously occurs on mammalian mRNAs and plays important roles in multiple biological processes. Currently, the role of m5C in cancer initiation and progression is gaining more and more research attention, but the detailed mechanism remains unclear. As an m5C methyltransferase with unique mRNA catalytic activity, NSUN2 was found to be highly expressed in multiple cancers including gastric, bladder, gallbladder, and breast cancers, suggesting NSUN2 might exert oncogenic properties through affecting m5C levels in cancer cells. Therefore, to understand the potential roles of RNA m5C modification in tumorigenesis of cervical cancer, we established NSUN2 stable knockdown CaSki cell, and perform RNA-seq and RNA-BisSeq to figure out the possible pathway involved in cervical cancer development.
