ALKBH5 is a New Mammalian RNA Demethylase

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) in higher eukaryotes. Here we report ALKBH5 as a new mammalian demethylase that oxidatively removes the m6A modification in mRNA in vitro and inside cells. This demethylation activity of ALKBH5 significantly affects mRNA export and RNA metabolism as well as the assembly of mRNA processing factors in nuclear speckles. Alkbh5-deficient male mice are characterized by impaired fertility resulting from apoptosis that affects meiotic metaphase-stage spermatocytes. In accordance with this defect, we have identified in mouse testes 1552 differentially expressed genes which cover broad functional categories and include spermatogenesis-related mRNAs involved in the p53 functional interaction network. We show that Alkbh5-deficiency impacts the expression levels of some of these mRNAs, supporting the observed phenotype. The discovery of this new RNA demethylase strongly suggests that the reversible m6A modification plays fundamental and broad functions in mammalian cells.

Arabidopsis Messenger RNA N6-methyladenosine Demethylation Regulates Plant Development

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in the messenger RNA (mRNA) of all higher eukaryotes. This modification has been shown to be reversible in mammals; it is installed by a methyltransferase heterodimer complex of METTL3 and METTL14 bound with WTAP, and reversed by iron(II)- and Î±-ketoglutarate-dependent demethylases FTO and ALKBH5. This modification exhibits significant functional roles in various biological processes. The m6A modification as a RNA mark is recognized by reader proteins, such as YTH domain family proteins and HNRNPA2B1; m6A can also act as a structure switch to affect RNA-protein interactions for biological regulation. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the methyltransferase subunit MTA (the plant orthologue of human METTL3, encoded by At4g10760) was well characterized and FIP37 (the plant orthologue of human WTAP) was first identified as the interacting partner of MTA. Here we report the discovery and characterization of reversible m6A methylation mediated by AtALKBH10B (encoded by At4g02940) in A. thaliana, and noticeable roles of this RNA demethylase in affecting plant development and floral transition. Our findings reveal potential broad functions of reversible mRNA methylation in plants. m6A peaks were identified from wild type Columbia-0 and atalkbh10b-1 mutant in two biological replicates

Expression data from lung cancer cell lines

Project description:ALKBH5 (AlkB homolog 5) has been identified as a eukaryotic demethylase, which catalyzes N6 adenosine. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is oxidatively demethylated by ALKBH5 with α-ketoglutarate as a substrate and Fe (II) as a coenzyme. We used microarrays to detail the differential gene expression by ALKBH5 knockdown in lung cancer cell lines.

ALKBH5 modulates endoderm fate diversion from hESCs through the ALKBH5-GATA6-WNT/β-catenin regulatory axis [CUT&Tag]

Project description:N6-methyladenonsine (m6A) modification locates ubiquitously in mammalian mRNA, and profoundly impacts various physiological processes and pathogenesis. However, the precise involvement of m6A in early endoderm development has yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we reported that depletion of the m6A demethylase ALKBH5 in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) severely impaired definitive endoderm (DE) differentiation. Within this process, ALKBH5-/- hESCs failed to undergo the primitive streak (PS) intermediate transition, which is considered as a prelude to endoderm specification. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that ALKBH5 deficiency induced m6A hypermethylation around the 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR) of GATA6 transcripts and destabilized GATA6 mRNA in a YTHDF2-dependent manner. Moreover, dysregulation of GATA6 expression ablated its occupancy with critical regulators of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby disrupting the signaling logic underlying DE formation. Overall, our findings unveil a mechanism whereby the ALKBH5-GATA6-WNT/β-catenin axis modulates human in vitro DE induction, and present novel insights on m6A modification in early embryonic development.

ALKBH5 facilitates the progression of skin cutaneous melanoma through promoting ABCA1 demethylation and inhibiting autophagy in an m6A-dependent manner

Project description:Background: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common and abundant mRNA modification, playing an essential role in biological processes and tumor development. However, the role of m6A methylation in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is not yet clear. This study analyzed the expression of m6A-related functional genes in SKCM and aimed to explore the key demethylase ALKBH5 mediated m6A modification and its potential mechanism in human SKCM. Methods: Based on public databases, the m6A-related gene expression landscape in SKCM was portrayed. MeRIP-Seq and RNA-Seq were used to recognize the downstream target of ALKBH5. In vivo and in vitro functional phenotype and rescue functional experiments were performed to explore the mechanism of the ALKBH5-ABCA1 axis in SKCM. Results: We found ALKBH5 upregulated in SKCM, associated with poor prognosis. ALKBH5 can promote melanoma cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and invasion and inhibit autophagy in vitro, facilitating tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. We identified ABCA1, a membrane protein that assists cholesterol efflux, as a downstream target of ALKBH5-mediated m6A demethylation. Finally, our data demonstrated that ALKBH5 promoted SKCM via mediating ABCA1 downregulation by reducing ABCA1 mRNA stability in an m6A-dependent manner. Conclusion: Our findings exhibited the functional value of the key demethylase ALKBH5 mediated m6A modification in the progression of SKCM, suggesting ALKBH5 and its target ABCA1 as potential therapeutic targets in SKCM.

N6-methyladenosine mRNA Modification Is Essential for Human Pancreatic Lineage Specification [m6A-Seq]

Project description:Recent advances in pancreatic differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) hold great potentials for disease modeling and regenerative medicine, and more precise control over the dynamic differentiation process is critical. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal messenger RNA (mRNA) modification, while the roles of m6A mark in pancreatic differentiation and development remain elusive. In addition, ALKBH5 is a major mRNA m6A demethylase and its role in pancreatic differentiation has not been reported. Here, we firstly studied mRNA m6A dynamics during pancreatic differentiation from hPSCs. Next, using the CRISPR-based genome editing tool, we generated ALKBH5 knockout hPSC lines and found that ALKBH5 plays important roles in pancreatic specification. After that, we conducted a series of functional and mechanistic studies, and demonstrated that ALKBH5 modulated many important genes involved in pancreatic differentiation. Collectively, our findings identified ALKBH5 as an essential regulator of human pancreatic differentiation and highlighted that m6A modification presents a new layer of regulation at epitranscriptome levels during cell-fate specification.
