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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Sequence- and structure-specific cytosine-5 methylation in mRNAs by NSUN6

Project description:Methylation is the most common internal modification in mRNA. While the highly abundant N6-methyladonsine (m6A) modification affects most aspects of mRNA function, the precise functions of the rarer 5-methylcytosine (m5C) remains largely unknown. Here, we map m5C in the human transcriptome using methylation-dependent individual-nucleotide resolution cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (miCLIP) combined with RNA bisulfite sequencing. We identify NSUN6 as a methyltransferase with strong substrate specificity towards mRNA. NSUN6 primarily targeted three prime untranslated regions (3’UTR) at the consensus sequence motif CTCCA. Knockout and rescue experiments revealed that only mRNA methylation sites containing the consensus motif depended on the presence of NSUN6. Furthermore, ribosome profiling demonstrated that NSUN6-specific consensus motifs marked translation termination. However, even though NSUN6-methylated mRNAs were reduced in NSUN6 knockout cells, NSUN6 was dispensable for mouse embryonic development. Thus, our study identifies NSUN6 as methyltransferase targeting mRNA in a sequence- and structure-specific manner.

RNA BS-seq of Nocodazole treated HeLa cells with NSUN family member deficiency

Project description:m5C accumulates on mRNAs in Nocodazole (Noc) treated cells. To figure out which m5C writer is responsible for these m5C sites, we generated three KO cell lines (NSUN2, NSUN5, and NSUN6) with CRISPR induced mutagenesis. We also used siRNA to suppress the expression of Nop2 (NSUN1) in wild-type HeLa cells. Then we performed mRNA BS-seq on the cells harvested after 48 hours Noc-treatment (for siRNA experiments, cells were treated with siRNA for 48 hours first).

Effects of NSUN6 deficiency by systematic transcriptomes and m5C profiles in mice across tissue [RNA-Seq]

Project description:we constructed Nsun6-KO mouse, and observed that the wight and appearance of KO mice didn’t show abnormality. Through Bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq) in wild-type (WT) as well as KO mice and mRNA-seq, we identified high confident Nsun6-dependent m5C sites and performed the transcriptome analysis across five tissues.

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.

Reactivity-dependent profiling of RNA 5-methylcytidine dioxygenases

Project description:Epitranscriptomic RNA modifications can regulate fundamental biological processes, but we lack approaches to map modification sites and probe writer enzymes. Here we present a chemoproteomic strategy to characterize RNA 5-methylcytidine (m5C) dioxygenase enzymes in their native context based upon metabolic labeling and activity-based crosslinking with 5-ethynylcytidine (5-EC), RNA-protein enrichment, and quantitative proteomics. We profile m5C dioxygenases in human cells including ALKBH1 and TET2 and use quantitative nucleoside LC-MS to show that ALKBH1 is the major hm5C and f5C-forming enzyme in RNA, including upon polyadenylated RNA. Further, we map ALKBH1 modification sites transcriptome-wide using 5-EC-based iCLIP analysis to show that ALKBH1 oxidizes m5C in a variety of tRNA anticodon stem loops (ASL), as well as on mRNA and lncRNA, and analyze its substrate specificity using in vitro enzymatic assays. Finally, we apply pyridine borane-mediated sequencing to identify f5C sites in tRNA ASLs. Our work provides powerful chemical approaches for studying RNA m5C dioxygenases and mapping oxidative m5C modifications and reveals the existence of novel epitranscriptomic pathways for regulating RNA function.

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.
