N6-methyladenosine (m6A) recruits and repels proteins to regulate mRNA homeostasis

ABSTRACT: RNA modifications are integral to regulation of RNA metabolism. One such abundant mRNA modification is m6A, which impacts various aspects of RNA metabolism including splicing, transport and degradation. Current knowledge about proteins recruited to m6A to carry out these molecular processes is still limited. Here we describe a comprehensive and systematic mass spectrometry-based screening of m6A interactors in various cell types and species. Amongst the main findings, we identified G3BP1 as a protein, which is repelled by m6A and which positively regulates mRNA stability in an m6A regulated manner. Furthermore, we identified FMR1 as a novel, RNA sequence context dependent m6A reader, thus revealing a connection between an mRNA modification and an autism spectrum disorder. Collectively, our data represents a rich resource for the community and sheds further light on the complex interplay between m6A, m6A interactors and mRNA homeostasis.

RNA Seq of Fmr1 NPC nuclear fractions

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of mRNA is emerging as a vital mechanism regulating RNA function. Here, we show that fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), an RNA-binding protein, reads m6A to regulate nuclear export of methylated mRNA targets during neural stem cell differentiation. In Fmr1 KO mice neural progenitors show delayed cell cycle exit and differentiation, resulting in their progressive accumulation in the ventricular and subventricular zones. RNA-seq of neural precursor cells (NPCs) from Fmr1 KO mice and m6A-seq uncovered nuclear retention of m6A-modified FMRP target mRNAs involved in regulating neural differentiation, including components of Notch and Hedgehog signaling pathways. Analysis of NPCs from Mettl14 cKO mice, which are devoid of m6A, revealed that methylation of RNAs promotes their nuclear export through CRM1. Altogether, our findings suggest that FMRP reads and facilitates nuclear export of m6A-modified mRNAs to regulate neural stem cell differentiation, contributing to Fragile X syndrome.

The m6A reader Ythdf restricts axonal growth in Drosophila through target selection modulation of the Fragile X mental retardation protein

Project description:The abundant mRNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulates a variety of physiological processes through modulation of RNA metabolism. m6A is particularly enriched in the nervous system of several species and its dysregulation has been associated with neurodevelopmental defects as well as neural dysfunctions. In Drosophila, the loss of m6A alters fly behavior but the underlying mechanism and the role of m6A during nervous system development have remained elusive. Here we found that impairment of the m6A pathway leads to axonal overgrowth and misguidance at larval neuromuscular junctions as well as in the adult mushroom bodies. We identify the RNA binding protein Ythdf as the main m6A reader in the nervous system required for limiting axonal growth. Mechanistically, we show that Ythdf interacts directly with Fragile X mental retardation protein (Fmr1) to inhibit the translation of key transcripts involved in axonal growth regulation. Altogether, this study demonstrates that the m6A pathway controls development of the nervous system by modulating Fmr1 target selection.

Dynamic FMR1 granule phase switch instructed by m6A modification contributes to maternal RNA decay

Project description:Maternal RNA degradation is critical for embryogenesis and is tightly controlled by maternal RNA-binding proteins. Fragile X mental-retardation protein (FMR1) binds target mRNAs to form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes/granules that control various biological processes, including early embryogenesis. However, how FMR1 recognizes target mRNAs and how FMR1-RNP granule assembly/disassembly regulates FMR1-associated mRNAs remain elusive. Here we show that Drosophila FMR1 preferentially binds mRNAs containing m6A-marked “AGACU” motif with high affinity to contributes to maternal RNA degradation. The high-affinity binding largely depends on a hydrophobic network within FMR1 KH2 domain. Importantly, this binding greatly induces FMR1 granule condensation to efficiently recruit unmodified mRNAs. The degradation of maternal mRNAs then causes granule de-condensation, allowing normal embryogenesis. Our findings reveal that sequence-specific mRNAs instruct FMR1-RNP granules to undergo a dynamic phase-switch, thus contributes to maternal mRNA decay. This mechanism may represent a general principle that regulated RNP-granules control RNA processing and normal development.

Comprehensive analysis of differentially expressed profiles of mRNA N6-methyladenosine in colorectal cancer

Project description:Purpose: To comprehensively profile the landscape of the mRNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification in human colorectal cancer (CRC). Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeRIP-seq) was explored to compare the difference in mRNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation between CRC tissues and adjacent normal control (NC) tissue. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to transcribe differentially expressed mRNAs. Conjoint analysis of MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq data was conducted to predict RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Results: MeRIP-seq identified 1110 differentially m6A methylated sites (DMMSs) and 980 differentially m6A methylated genes (DMMGs) in CRC, with 50.13% of all modified genes showing unique m6A-modified peaks in CRC. RNA-seq showed 915 upregulated genes and 1463 downregulated genes in CRC. QRT-PCR verified the RNA-seq results by detecting the expression of some mRNAs. Conjoint analysis of MeRIP-seq and RNA-seq identified 400 differentially m6A methylated and expressed genes (DEGs), and pathway analysis detected that DMMGs and DEGs were closely related to cancer. After analyzing these DMMGs and DEGs through the GEPIA database, we found that the expression of B3GNT6, DKC1, SRPK1 and RIMKLB were associated with prognosis, and the expression of B3GNT6 and RIMKLB were associated with clinical stage. 17 RBPs were identified based on the DMMGs and DEGs, among which FXR1, FXR2, FMR1, IGF2BP2, IGF2BP3 and SRSF1 were obviously highly expressed in CRC, and FMR1, IGF2BP2 and IGF2BP3 were closely related to methylation, and might be involved in the development of CRC. Conclusions: This study comprehensively profiled m6A modification of mRNAs in CRC, which revealed possible mechanisms of m6A-mediated gene expression regulation.

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

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>

Mettl3-m6A-YTHDF1 axis promotion of mitochondrial dysfunction in metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)

Project description:The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA modification and the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) hold paramount importance in the advancement of MASLD. This study thoroughly investigates the relationship and impact of m6A mRNA modification and mitochondrial function in the progression of MASLD. Here we report that the mRNA and protein levels of mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) subunits showed inconsistent trends in vivo experiments. Abnormal m6A modification and mitochondrial dysfunction in MASLD were attributed to the upregulation of methyltransferase like 3 (Mettl3) and the downregulation of YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 1 (YTHDF1) induced by high-fat foods. Mettl3 promoted the MRC's function. However, knockout of the reader protein YTHDF1, which plays a crucial role in the m6A modification process, counteracted the effect of Mettl3 and suppressed MRC. In MASLD, damage to the MRC may be regulated by the Mettl3-m6A-YTHDF1 complex axis, especially by the role of YTHDF1. Our research has offered a novel perspective on the involvement of m6A mRNA methylation in the pathogenesis of MASLD.

Profiling of N6-Adenosine (m6A) Methylation in Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type and fip37-4 LEC1:FIP37

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) represents the most prevalent internal modification on messenger RNA, and requires a multicomponent m6A methyltransferase complex in mammals. How their plant counterparts determine the global m6A modification landscape and its molecular link to plant development remain elusive. Here we show that FKBP12 INTERACTING PROTEIN 37 KD (FIP37) is a core component of the m6A methyltransferase complex, which underlies control of shoot stem cell fate in Arabidopsis. The mutants lacking FIP37 exhibit massive overproliferation of shoot meristems and a transcriptome-wide loss of m6A RNA modifications. We further demonstrate that FIP37 mediates m6A RNA modification on key shoot meristem genes inversely correlated with their mRNA stability, thus confining their transcript levels to prevent shoot meristem overproliferation. Our results suggest an indispensable role of FIP37 in mediating m6A mRNA modification, which is required for maintaining the shoot meristem as a renewable source for continuously producing all aerial organs in plants. m6A-seq in Arabidopsis thaliana (Col-0) wild-type and fip37-4 LEC1:FIP37, two replicates for each sample

Widespread Occurrence of m6A in bacterial mRNA

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most abundant modifications in eukaryotic RNA. Recent mapping of m6A methylomes in mammals, yeast, and plants as well as characterization of m6A methyltransferases, demethylases, and binding proteins have revealed regulatory functions of this dynamic RNA modification. In bacteria, although m6A is present in ribosomal RNA (rRNA), its occurrence in messenger RNA (mRNA) still remains elusive. Here, we used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to calculate the m6A/A ratio in mRNA from a wide range of bacterial species, which demonstrates that m6A is an abundant mRNA modification in tested bacteria. Subsequent transcriptome-wide m6A profiling in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa revealed a conserved distinct m6A pattern that is significantly different from that in eukaryotes. Most m6A peaks are located inside open reading frames (ORF), and carry a unique consensus motif (GCCAU). Functional enrichment analysis of bacterial m6A peaks indicates that the majority of m6A-modified transcripts are associated with respiration, amino acids metabolism, stress response, and small RNAs genes, suggesting potential regulatory roles of m6A in these pathways. m6A profiling in E.coli and P.aeruginosa mRNA
