Characterization of eukaryotic DNA N6-methyladenine by a highly sensitive restriction enzyme-assisted sequencing

ABSTRACT: To interrogate single-base resolution 6mA sites in the genome-wide, we develop DA-6mA-seq (DpnI-Assisted N6-methylAdenine sequencing), an optimized sequencing method taking advantage of restriction enzyme DpnI, which exclusively cleaves methylated adenine sites. We find DpnI also recognizes other sequence motifs besides the canonical GATC restriction sites, largely expanding the application range of this method. DA-6mA-seq requires less starting material and lower sequencing depth than previous methods, but achieves higher sensitivity, providing a good strategy to identify 6mA in large genome with a low abundance of 6mA. We rebuild the 6mA maps of Chlamydomonas by DA-6mA-seq and then apply this method to another two eukaryotic organisms, Plasmodium and Penicillium. Further analysis reveals most 6mA sites are symmetric at various sequence contexts, suggesting 6mA may function as a new heritable epigenetic mark in eukaryotes.

single-nucleotide resolution sequencing of N6-methyladenine in E. coli genomes and mammalian mitochondrial DNA

Project description:N6-methyladenine (6mA) is a natural DNA modification and functions primarily in restriction-modification (R-M) systems in prokaryotes. Recent studies uncovered the existence and revealed the genome-wide distribution of 6mA in eukaryotes. Specifically, it was reported that 6mA was mainly enriched in mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and could regulate mitochondrial activity. we achieved the genome-wide mapping of 6mA in E. coli genome and mammalian mtDNA at single-nucleotide resolution.

N6-Methyladenine DNA Modification in Human Genome

Project description:In human cells, 5-methylcytosine (5mC) DNA modification plays an important role in gene regulation. However, N6-methyladenine (6mA) DNA modification, which is predominantly present in prokaryotes, is considered to be absent in human genomic DNA. Here, using single molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing on human blood, we show that DNA 6mA modification is extensively present in human genome, accounting for ~0.051% of the total adenines. [G/C]AGG[C/T] was the most significant motif associated with 6mA modification. 6mA sites are enriched in the exon coding regions and are associated with transcriptional activation. DNA N6-methyladenine and N6-demethyladenine modification in human are mediated by methyltransferase N6AMT1 and demethylase ALKBH1, respectively. The 6mA abundance is significantly lower in cancer tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues, which is accompanied with decreased N6AMT1 and increased ALKBH1 levels. Decrease of 6mA modification level stimulated tumorigenesis in human. Collectively, our results demonstrate that 6mA DNA modification is present in human tissues, and we describe a potential role of the N6AMT1/ALKBH1-6mA regulatory axis in the progression of human cancer.

Identify the interplay between N6-methyladenine and gene regulation under hypoxia by randomized empirical model (6mA)

Project description:This dataset encompasses comprehensive analyses of the epigenetic mark N6-methyladenine (6mA) in human cell lines, focusing on its role under hypoxic conditions and its association with cancer progression. Addressing the challenge of 6mA's low abundance in mammals, we have innovated the 6mA-ChIP-exo-5.1 method. This technique enhances the sensitivity and accuracy of 6mA detection, employing exonuclease-dependent antibody-based approaches combined with whole genome amplification (WGA) to minimize potential noise and false positives.

Stress-induced accumulation of DNA N6-Methyladenine in prefrontal cortex

Project description:Chemical covalent modifications on the 5-carbon position of cytosine, such as 5- methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, are a set of well-characterized epigenetic marks that shape transcriptional landscaping. Compiling evidence suggests central roles of cytosine modification dynamics in neuronal functions such as memory formation and stress response. N6-methyladenine (6mA) that previously described in bacteria has been recently found in higher eukaryotes, including worms, flies and mice. However, the precise roles and molecular mechanisms of 6mA in mammalian genome, particularly CNS, remain vague. Here we report that the global 6mA level is elevated in mice prefrontal cortex (PFC) upon restraint stress. The 6mA dynamics responding to stress is independent of Tet1 and Tet2 proteins, whose Drosophila ortholog serves as a 6mA demethylase. Genome-wide 6mA profiling in control and stressed PFC reveal that 6mA dynamic changes upon stress predominantly occur on intragenic introns and repetitive elements. Global transcriptome analyzes indicate a set of upregulated genes bearing elevated 6mA levels are highly enriched in neuronal pathways response to stress, suggesting a positive correlation of 6mA with transcription of these loci. In addition, 6mA dynamics in stress response could also influence transposon expression. Furthermore, 6mA is depleted in cortex enhancers, indicating their cis-regulatory roles in transcription. Motif identifications using 6mA dynamic regions provide putative transcription factors and epigenetic modulators binding sites with mechanistic hints. Taken together, our findings reveal dynamic 6mA changes in mice PFC in response to stress, and define its potential epigenetic roles in modulating gene and transposon expression.

Active N6-Methyladenine demethylation by DMAD regulates gene expression by modulating the binding dynamics of Polycomb protein in neurons

Project description:A Ten-Eleven Translocation (TET) ortholog has been identified as a DNA N6-Methyladenine (6mA) demethylase (DMAD) in Drosophila. However, the molecular roles of 6mA and DMAD remain largely unexplored. Through genome-wide 6mA and transcriptome profiling, we found that 6mA may serve as a repressive epigenetic mark on a group of genes involved in neurodevelopment and neuronal functions. Mechanistically, DMAD coordinates with Trithorax-related complex protein Wds to maintain active transcription by dynamically demethylating intragenic 6mA. Accumulation of 6mA by depleting DMAD recruits Polycomb protein Pc as 6mA reader and contributes to transcriptional repression. Our findings define an epigenetic role for 6mA and suggest that active 6mA demethylation by DMAD plays important roles in fly CNS function by coordinating additional epigenetic mechanisms.

Project description:In this study, we employed ChIP-seq for histone modifications related to gene activation, such as H3K4me1, H3K4me3, and H3K27Ac, to investigate the role of N6-methyladenine (6mA) in chromatin accessibility under hypoxic conditions.

High-precision mapping reveals rare N6-deoxyadenosine methylation in the mammalian genome

Project description:DNA modification has been characterized as a critical epigenetic regulator in gene expression. N6-deoxyadenosine methylation (6mA) is the most widespread type in prokaryotes and some unicellular eukaryotes. Nevertheless, the lack of a precise and comprehensive mapping method greatly hinders studying the presence and biological significance of 6mA in mammals. Here, we develop a new method MM-seq (Modification-induced Mismatch Sequencing) for genome-wide 6mA mapping in single-base resolution. This method balances accuracy and sensitivity based on a novel detection principle. We find modified DNA bases are likely to flip out of the DNA duplex, forming a mismatch-like structure that an antibody can capture. The mismatch-like structure can be recognized by endonuclease or exonuclease, which marks the exact modified site for readout via sequencing. Using this method, we examine the genomic positions of 6mA in bacteria, green algae, and mammalian cells. We find that human and mouse genomes contain rare and randomly distributed 6mA sites, with almost no overlap between different cell types. After knock-out of the RNA m6A methyltransferase Mettl3, limited 6mA sites in gDNA are diminished. Our results support the perspective that rare 6mA in the mammalian genome is caused by the misincorporation of N6-methyladenine via the nucleotide-salvage pathway.
