Project description:Protein arginine methylation, catalyzed by the protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family, is recognized as a widespread post-translational modification (PTM) with implications in a plethora of biological processes in eukaryotes. PRMT proteins were classified into three types, type I, II and III, according to the final methyl-arginine products generated. Despite that thousands of substrates have been identified for Type I and II PRMTs, a full scope of arginine methylation catalyzed by the only type III PRMT, PRMT7, as well as its connection with that of type I and II PRMTs remain unknown, limiting our understanding of the network of arginine methylation and its functions in cells. In this study, global profiling of PRMT4 (type I), PRMT5 (type II) and PRMT7 (type III) substrates (also referred as methylome) revealed that PRMT7 methylated a GAR (glycine and arginine) motif similar as PRMT5, while PRMT4 uniquely methylated a motif in which proline was highly enriched. PRMT4, 5 and 7-methylome were all enriched with proteins functioning in mRNA splicing, and knockdown of PRMT4, 5 or 7 led to a global change of alternative splicing events, among which a cohort with implications in cancer development was co-regulated by all three PRMTs. PRMT4, 5 and 7-mediated arginine methylation on splicing factors such as hnRNPA1, though at different status, were shown to enhance RNA binding in general and participate in the regulation of PRMT4, 5 and 7 co-regulated alternative splicing events.The clinical significance of PRMT4, 5 and 7-mediated arginine methylation was underscored by the fact that these three PRMTs as well as hnRNPA1 arginine methylation were over-represented in multiple types of cancers, which were associated with aberrant gene alternative splicing. Consistently, silencing or pharmacological inhibition of PRMT4, 5 and 7 altered gene alternative splicing and suppressed cancer cell growth, and co-treatment exhibited synergistic effects. Taken together, our study provided an integrative view of substrates for the three types of PRMTs, revealing the important function of arginine methylation in RNA splicing and cancer.

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) catalyze arginine methylation, an abundant post-translational modification occurring on both chromatin-bound and cytoplasmic proteins. Growing evidence supports the involvement of PRMT5, the major Type II PRMT, in pro-survival and differentiation pathways, important during development and to promote tumorigenesis. Thus, PRMT5 emerges as an attractive drug target and inhibitors are currently in clinical trials for cancer therapy. However, the knowledge of PRMT5 non-histone substrates is still limited, as are the dynamic changes in methylation levels upon its inhibition. Here, we employed a newly established pipeline coupling SILAC with methyl-peptides immuno-enrichment to globally profile arginine methylation following PRMT5 inhibition by GSK591 and adopted the heavy-methyl SILAC as orthogonal validation method to reduce false discovery rate. Then, in vitro methylation assays on a set of PRMT5 targets provided novel mechanistic insights into its strict preference to methylate arginine sandwiched between two neighbouring glycines (GRG). In conclusion, we identified novel PRMT5 substrates, thus providing the first proof of concept of the in vivo efficacy of PRMT5 inhibitor that impacts on arginine methylation beyond histones.

Project description:Cancer-associated mutations in RNA splicing factors commonly occur in myeloid and lymphoid leukemias as well as a variety of solid tumors and confer dependence on wild-type (WT) splicing. These observations have led to clinical efforts to directly inhibit the spliceosome in patients with refractory leukemias. Here we identify that inhibiting symmetric (SDMA) or asymmetric dimethyl arginine methylation (ADMA), mediated by PRMT5 and type I protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) respectively, reduces splicing fidelity and results in strong preferential killing of spliceosomal mutant leukemias over WT counterparts. Consistent with this, proteomic analyses identified RNA binding proteins and splicing factors as the most enriched PRMT5 and/or PRMT Type I substrates in leukemia. Accordingly, combined PRMT5/type I PRMT inhibition resulted in synergistic cell killing and pronounced effects on splicing compared with inhibiting either enzymatic activity alone. These data identify genetic subsets of cancer most likely to respond to PRMT inhibition and a mechanistic basis for the therapeutic efficacy of PRMT inhibition in cancer.

Project description:Arginine methylation is essential for both cellular viability and development and is also dysregulated in cancer. PRMTs catalyze the post translational monomethylation (Rme1/MMA, catalyzed by Type I-III), asymmetric (Rme2a/ADMA, Type I enzymes)-, or symmetric (Rme2s/SDMA, Type II enzymes) dimethylation of arginine. Despite many studies, a thorough integration of PRMT enzyme substrate determination and proteomic and transcriptomic consequences of inhibiting Type I and II PRMTs is lacking. To characterize cellular substrates for Type I (Rme2a) and Type II (Rme2s) PRMTs, human A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells were treated with either Type I (MS023) or Type II (GSK591) inhibitors. Using total proteome hydrolysis, we developed a new mass spectrometry approach to analyze total arginine and lysine content. We showed that Rme1 was a minor population (~0.1% of total arginine), Rme2a was highly abundant (~1.1%), and Rme2s was intermediate (~0.4%). While Rme2s was mostly eliminated by GSK591 treatment, total Rme1 and Rme2a were more resistant to perturbation. To quantitatively characterize substrate preferences of the major enzymes PRMT1, PRMT4(CARM1), and PRMT5, we used oriented peptide array libraries (OPAL) in methyltransferase assays. We demonstrated that while PRMT5 tolerates aspartic acid residues in the substrate, PRMT1 does not. Importantly, PRMT4 methylated previously uncharacterized hydrophobic motifs. To integrate our studies, we performed PTMScan on PRMT-inhibited A549 cells and enriched for methylated arginine containing tryptic peptides. For detection of highly charged peptides, a method to analyze the samples using electron transfer dissociation was developed. Proteomic analysis revealed distinct methylated species enriched in nuclear function, RNA-binding, intrinsically disordered domains, and liquid-liquid phase separation. Parallel studies with proteomics and RNA-Seq revealed distinct, but ontologically overlapping, consequences to PRMT inhibition. Overall, we demonstrate a wider PRMT substrate diversity and methylarginine functional consequence than previously shown.

Project description:Viral proteins are known to be methylated by host protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) playing critical roles during viral infections. Herein, we show that PRMT1 methylates SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein at residues R95 and R177 within RGG/RG sequences. Arginine methylation of N protein was confirmed by immunoblotting viral proteins extracted from SARS-CoV-2 virions isolated by cell culture. We demonstrate that arginine methylation of N protein is required for its RNA binding capacity, since treatment with a type I PRMT inhibitor (MS023) or substitution of R95K or R177K inhibited interaction with the 5’-UTR of the SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA. We defined the N interactome in HEK293 cells with or without MS023 treatment and identified PRMT1 and many of its RGG/RG substrates including the known interactor, G3BP1, and other components of stress granules (SG). Methylation of N protein at R95 regulates another function namely its property to suppress the formation of SGs. MS023 treatment or R95K substitution blocked N-mediated suppression of SGs. Also, the co-expression of methylarginine reader TDRD3 quenched N-mediated suppression of SGs in a dose-dependent manner. Finally, pre-treatment of VeroE6 cells with MS023 significantly reduced SARS-CoV-2 replication. With type I PRMT inhibitors being in clinical trials for cancer treatment, inhibiting arginine methylation to target the later stages of the viral life cycle such as viral genome packaging and assembly of virions may be an additional therapeutic application of these drugs.

Project description:We functionally characterized the five predicted PRMTs in Leishmania braziliensis by gene knockout and endogenous protein HA tagging using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. We report that R-methylation profiles vary among Leishmania species and across L. braziliensis lifecycle stages, with the peak PRMT expression occurring in promastigotes. A list of PRMT-interacting proteins was obtained in a single coimmunoprecipitation assay using HA-tagged PRMTs, suggesting a network of putative targets of PRMTs and cooperation between the R-methylation writers. Knockout of each L. braziliensis PRMT led to significant changes in global arginine methylation patterns without affecting cell viability. Deletion of either PRMT1 or PRMT3 disrupted most type I PRMT activity, resulting in a global increase in monomethyl arginine levels. Using anti-MMA antibodies, we performed an IP experiment to identify MMA proteins in the parental line, single PRMT1 knockout, PRMT1/PRMT7 double knockout and PRMT1-Addback parasites. The results indicate that R-methylation is modulated across lifecycle stages in L. braziliensis and show possible functional overlap and cooperation among the different PRMTs in targeting proteins. Overall, our data suggest important regulatory roles of these proteins throughout the L. braziliensis life cycle, showing that arginine methylation is important for parasite-host cell interactions.
