LC-MS/MS analysis of co-immunoprecipitation products of METTL3

ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation of mRNA by the methyltransferase complex (MTC), with core components including METTL3-METTL14 heterodimers and Wilms’ tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP), contributes to breast tumorigenesis, but the mechanism of MTC assembly remains elusive. Here, we identify a novel cleaved form METTL3a (residues 239-580 of METTL3), that is highly expressed in breast cancer. Furthermore, we find that both METTL3a and full-length METTL3 are required for MTC assembly, RNA m6A deposition, as well as cancer cell proliferation. Mechanistically, we find that METTL3a is required for METTL3-METTL3 interaction, which is a prerequisite step for recruitment of WTAP in MTC assembly. Analysis of m6A sequencing data shows that depletion of METTL3a globally disrupts m6A methylation, and METTL3a mediates mTOR activation via m6A-mediated suppression of TMEM127 expression. Consequently, we find that METTL3 cleavage is mediated by proteasome in an mTOR-dependent manner, revealing positive regulatory feedback between METTL3a and mTOR signaling. Our findings reveal METTL3a as an important component for MTC assembly, and suggest the METTL3a-mTOR axis as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer.

A Cleavage Product METTL3a-(238-580) Mediates m6A Methyltransferase Complex Assembly and mTOR Activation

Cancer Mutations Rewire the RNA Methylation Specificity of METTL3-METTL14

Project description:Chemical modification of RNAs is important for post-transcriptional gene regulation. The METTL3-METTL14 complex generates most N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications in mRNAs, and dysregulated methyltransferase expression has been linked to numerous cancers. Here we show that m6A modification location, rather than the overall modification level, can impact oncogenesis. A gain-of-function missense mutation found in cancer patients, METTL14R298P, promotes malignant cell growth in culture and in transgenic mice. The mutant methyltransferase preferentially modifies noncanonical sites and transforms gene expression without increasing global m6A levels in mRNAs. The altered substrate specificity is intrinsic to METTL3-METTL14, helping us to propose a structural model for how the METTL3-METTL14 complex detects RNA sequences. Together, our work highlights that m6A location is important for function and that noncanonical methylation sites may impact aberrant gene expression and oncogenesis.

Widespread N6-methyladenosine-dependent RNA Structural Switches Regulate RNA-Protein Interactions

Project description:We show that N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal modification in mRNA/lncRNA with still poorly characterized function, alters RNA structure to facilitate the access of RBM for heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (hnRNP C). We term this mechanism m6A-switch. Through combining PAR-CLIP with Me-RIP, we identify 39,060 m6A-switches among hnRNP C binding sites transcriptome-wide. We show that m6A-methyltransferases METTL3 or METTL14 knockdown decreases hnRNP C binding at 16,582 m6A-switches. Taken together, 2,798 m6A-switches of high confidence are identified to mediate RNA-hnRNP C interactions and affect diverse biological processes including cell cycle regulation. These findings reveal the biological importance of m6A and provide insights into the sophisticated regulation of RNA-RBP interactions through m6A-induced RNA structural remodeling. Measure the m6A methylated hnRNP C binding sites transcriptome-wide by PARCLIP-MeRIP; measure the differential hnRNP C occupancies upon METTL3/METTL14 knockdown by PAR-CLIP; measure RNA abundance and splicing level changes upon HNRNPC, METTL3 and METTL14 knockdown

Primarily Dissecting the Autonomous and Cooperative Functions of METTL3 and METTL14 in mRNA Modification and Tumor Progression

Project description:METTL3 and METTL14 are considered to faithfully form the m6A writing complex in a 1:1 ratio, regulating the fate of mRNA by adding m6A modifications. However, recent studies have shown inconsistent expression and prognostic value of METTL3 and METTL14 in some tumors, suggesting that they may not be faithful in tumors. Pan-cancer analysis based on TCGA data reveals significant differences in expression, function, tumor burden correlation, and immune correlation between METTL3 and METTL14, especially in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Knockdown of METTL3 significantly inhibits the cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo in ESCC EC109 cells, while the impact of METTL14 knockdown on proliferation is limited, and it cannot abolish the expression of METTL3 protein. mRNA-seq results indicate that METTL3 independently regulates the expression of 1615 genes, while only 776 genes are co-regulated by METTL3 and METTL14. Furthermore, through immunofluorescence co-localization, it is observed that METTL3 and METTL14 have certain inconsistencies in cellular localization. HPLC-MS results show that METTL3 independently binds to the Nop56p-associated pre-rRNA complex and mRNA splicing complex, separate from METTL14. Through bioinformatics and various omics studies, we have preliminarily discovered that METTL3 independently regulating tumor cell proliferation, and the participation in mRNA splicing may be a critical molecular mechanism. Our study provides an experimental basis and theoretical foundation for further understanding of the m6A writing complex and tumor therapy targeting METTL3.

RNA methylation destabilizes developmental regulators in murine embryonic stem cells (MoGene-2)

Project description:Recent methylome studies have located N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification on thousands of mammalian transcripts. However, its functional mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we examined the role of m6A methylation in mouse embryonic stem cells. To gain an understanding of dynamic changes in cells depleted with (proposed) methyltranferases at molecular level, we examined the time-series gene expression pattern in mESC lines using microarray analysis. After 0, 4 and 8 h incubation with scramble, shRNA for Mettl3 or Mettl14, mESC cells were collected and RNAs were isolated for microarray analysis using Affymetrix Genechip Mouse Gene 2.0 ST array. After 0 h incubation with scramble, shRNA for Mettl3 or Mettl14, mESC cells were collected and RNAs were isolated for microarray analysis using Affymetrix Genechip Mouse Gene 2.0 ST array.

Identification and Characterization of the Mammalian Nuclear RNA N6-Adenosine Methyltransferase Core Complex

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal modification found in mammalian messenger and non-coding RNAs. The discoveries of functionally significant demethylases that reverse this methylation as well as the recently revealed m6A distributions in mammalian transcriptomes strongly indicate regulatory functions of this modification. Here we report the identification and characterization of the mammalian nuclear RNA N6-adenosine methyltransferase core (RNMTC) complex. Besides METTL3, a methyltransferase which was the only known component of RNMTC in the past, we discovered that a previously uncharacterized methyltransferase, METTL14, exhibits a N6-adenosine methyltransferase activity higher than METTL3. Together with WTAP, the third component that dramatically affects the cellular m6A level, these three proteins form the core complex that orchestrates m6A deposition on mammalian nuclear RNA. Biochemistry assays, imaging experiments, as well as transcriptome-wide analyses of the binding sites and their effects on m6A methylation support methylation function and reveal new insights of RNMTC.

m6A-RIP-seq of mRNA in yw, Mettl3, Mettl14 and Hakai flies

Project description:In order to obtain a stringent m6A methylome in Drosophila adults, we performed m6A-RIP-seq in yw control (male and female), Mettl3 (male), Mettl14 (male) and Hakai (male) mutant flies. We find that the effective m6A modification, which depends on the writer complex, is mostly distributed in 5’ UTR and near start codon in Drosophila, in contrast to the mammalian system. We define a set of high-confident m6A methylation sites shared by Mettl3, Mettl14 and Hakai, indicating that Hakai is a core component of the m6A writer complex. We also find differential methylation pattern in certain loci between male and female flies.

METTL14 is a chromatin regulator independent of RNA N6-methyladenosine (CUT & RUN)

Project description:METTL3 and METTL14 are two components that form the core heterodimer of the main RNA m6A methyltransferase complex (MTC, also known as m6A writer) that installs m6A. Surprisingly, depletion of METTL3 or METTL14 displayed distinct effects on mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) self-renewal. While comparable global hypo-methylation in RNA m6A was observed in Mettl3 or Mettl14 knockout mESCs, respectively. Mettl14 knockout led to a globally decreased nascent RNA synthesis, whereas Mettl3 depletion resulted in transcription upregulation, suggesting that METTL14 might possess an m6A-indenepent role in gene regulation. We found that METTL14 colocalizes with the repressive H3K27me3 modification and PRC2 complex. Mechanically, METTL14, but not METTL3, recognizes H3K27me3 and recruits KDM6B to induce H3K27me3 demethylation independent of METTL3. Depletion of METTL14 thus led to a global increase in H3K27me3 level along with a global gene suppression . The regulation of H3K27me3 by METTL14 is essential to the transition of mESCs from self-renewal to differentiation. This work reveals a regulation mechanism on heterochromatin by METTL14 in a manner distinct from METTL3 and independently of m6A, and critically impacts transcriptional regulation, stemness maintenance and differentiation of mESCs.
