VIRMA-mediated m6A modification regulates forebrain formation through facilitating ribosome biogenesis

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification plays crucial roles in tissue development and homeostasis. However, the mechanisms underlying cellular adaptation of m6A modification and their impact on protein synthesis machinery remain unclear. VIRMA, the largest and evolutionarily conserved core of the m6A methyltransferase complex, is highly expressed in the embryonic brain and various cancers. Here, we demonstrate that VIRMA-mediated m6A modification is essential for active ribosome biogenesis. VIRMA depletion destabilizes the entire writer complex and reduces m6A levels, leading to decreased proliferation and increased apoptosis of neural progenitor/stem cells (NPCs), ultimately causing severe forebrain developmental defects. Mechanistically, VIRMA depletion impairs ribosome biogenesis by inhibiting mRNA decay, triggering a p53-dependent stress response and compromising global protein synthesis. Importantly, these findings extend to human cancer cells, suggesting a potential conservation of this mechanism. Overall, our study reveals the critical role of m6A in adapting protein synthesis machinery during brain development and potentially in cancer.

KIAA1429/VIRMA promotes breast cancer proliferation and migration by stabilizing m6A-modified HAS2 RNA expression in cytosol

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal RNA modification in mRNA molecules and plays important roles in multiple important biological processes including cancer development. KIAA1429/VIRMA is an important component of m6A methyltransferase complex to facilitate depositing m6A modification in RNA molecules. Here we found that KIAA1429/VIRMA was overexpressed in breast cancer patients among other m6A related enzymes. Breast cancer patients with higher KIAA1429 expression have worse survival compared with control group. In addition, KIAA1429/VIRMA protein mislocated in cytosol in breast cancer tissues and cell lines. KIAA1429/VIRMA depletion reduced breast cancer cell proliferation and migration. Mechanism studies showed that cytosolic expressed KIAA1429/VIRMA interacted with m6A reader protein IGF2BP3 and stabilized expression of m6A-modified HAS2 expression. HAS2 is downstream of KIAA1429/VIRMA to mediate breast cancer cell proliferation and migration and has positive correlation with KIAA1429/VIRMA expression in cancer patients.

VIRMA mediates preferential m6A mRNA methylation in 3'UTR and near stop codon and associates with alternative polyadenylation

Project description:N6-methyadenosine (m6A) is enriched in 3`UTR (3` untranslated region) and near stop codon of mature polyadenylated mRNAs in mammalian systems and has regulatory roles in eukaryotic mRNA transcriptome switch. Significantly, the mechanism for this modification preference remains unknown, however. Herein we report a characterization of the full m6A methyltransferase complex in HeLa cells identifying METTL3/METTL14/WTAP/VIRMA/HAKAI/ZC3H13 as the key components, and we show that VIRMA mediates preferential mRNA methylation in 3`UTR and near stop codon. Biochemical studies reveal that VIRMA recruits the catalytic core components METTL3/METTL14/WTAP to guide region-selective methylations. Around 60% of VIRMA mRNA immunoprecipitation targets manifest strong m6A enrichment in 3`UTR. Depletions of VIRMA and METTL3 induce 3`UTR lengthening of several hundred mRNAs with over 50% targets in common. VIRMA associates with polyadenylation cleavage factors CPSF5 and CPSF6 in an RNA-dependent manner. Depletion of CPSF5 leads to significant shortening of 3`UTR of over 2,800 mRNAs, 84% of which are modified with m6A. Together our studies provide insights into m6A deposition specificity in 3`UTR and its correlation with alternative polyadenylation.

Study the global mRNA translation changes between SKBR cells overexpressing VIRMA and eGFP control

Project description:In order to determine whether increased m6A abundance coupled with upregulation of transcripts regulating UPR also promote their translation, we first compared levels of key UPR signalling proteins in VIRMA FL-overexpressing SKBR3 cells and eGFP control. To our surprise, none of the key UPR signalling proteins measured showed increased levels in VIRMA FL cells compared to control We then performed ribosome profiling analysis between SKBR cells overexpressing VIRMA FL and eGFP control

VIRMA-mediated m6A modification profilling in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Project description:Several studies revealed an underlying disordered m6A regulatory network in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, the roles of m6A regulators and sequential m6A dysregulation in NPC remain largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the role of VIRMA and its underlying mechanisms in NPC. We performed methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) to identify the potential downstream targets of VIRMA that might be essential in NPC using HONE-1 cells with or without VIRMA silenced (two biological replicates).

N6-methyladenosine modification is not a general trait of positive-sense RNA viral genomes

Project description:<p>Despite the nuclear localization of the m6A machinery, the genomes of multiple exclusively-cytoplasmic RNA viruses, such as chikungunya (CHIKV) and dengue (DENV), are reported to be extensively m6A-modified. However, these findings are mostly based on m6A-seq, an antibody-dependent technique with a high rate of false positives. Here, we addressed the presence of m6A in CHIKV and DENV RNAs. For this, we combined m6A-seq and the antibody-independent SELECT and nanopore direct RNA sequencing techniques with functional, molecular, and mutagenesis studies. Following this comprehensive analysis, we found no evidence of m6A modification in CHIKV or DENV transcripts. Furthermore, depletion of key components of the host m6A machinery did not affect CHIKV or DENV infection. Moreover, CHIKV or DENV infection had no effect on the m6A machinery’s localization. Our results challenge the prevailing notion that m6A modification is a general feature of cytoplasmic RNA viruses and underscore the importance of validating RNA modifications with orthogonal approaches.</p>
