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.

Project description:Both mRNA and proteins can be modified through addition of methyl groups. For example, addition of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) to mRNAs is critical for human development and health. Post-translational methylation of proteins can impact the dynamic regulation of enzymatic activity. Here we sought to explore the nexus of transcriptional and post-translational methylation by studying the role of methylation of the core methyltransferase METTL3/METTL14 in m6A regulation. We found by mass spectrometry that METTL14 arginine 255 (R255) is methylated (R255me). Global mRNA m6A levels were greatly decreased in METTL14 R255K mutant mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). We further found that R255me greatly enhances the interaction of METTL3/METTL14 with WTAP and promotes the binding of the complex to substrate RNA.

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

Project description:Spermatogenesis is precisely controlled at the transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and translational levels. Here we report that N6-methyladenosine (m6A), an epitranscriptomic mark regulating gene expression, plays essential roles during spermatogenesis. We present comprehensive m6A mRNA methylomes of mouse spermatogenic cells from five developmental stages: undifferentiated spermatogonia, type A1 spermatogonia, preleptotene spermatocytes, pachytene/diplotene spermatocytes, and round spermatids. Germ cell-specific inactiva- tion of the m6A RNA methyltransferase Mettl3 or Mettl14 with Vasa-Cre causes loss of m6A and depletion of SSCs. m6A depletion dysregulates translation of transcripts that are required for SSC proliferation/differentiation. Com- bined deletion of Mettl3 and Mettl14 in advanced germ cells with Stra8-GFPCre disrupts spermiogenesis, whereas mice with single deletion of either Mettl3 or Mettl14 in advanced germ cells show normal spermatogenesis. The sper- matids from double-mutant mice exhibit impaired translation of haploid-specific genes that are essential for spermio- genesis. This study highlights crucial roles of mRNA m6A modification in germline development, potentially ensuring coordinated translation at different stages of spermatogenesis.

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common type of lung cancer, characterized by a poor prognosis. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) emerges as one of the most important modification of RNA, and m6A modifier METTL14 were reported to play pivotal role in multiple cancer types. However, there are limited number of studies of METTL14 in lung cancer and there still lacks systematic investigation of the function, clinical significance and targets of METTL14 in NSCLC. Here, we first conducted comprehensive N6-methyladenosine profiling of non-small cell lung cancer patients, and acquired m6A RNA modification atlas and differentially methylated RNAs in non-small cell lung cancer patients. Then we focused on RNA methyl-transferase METTL14, and investigated its clinical significance and function in NSCLC. As a result, METTL14 was correlated with clinical pathological parameters of differentiation and M stage. Addionally, METTL14 promotes NSCLC growth, induces cell death, and enhances cell migration and invasion, in vitro. Finally, to identify potential targets of METTL14, RNA sequencing, METTL14 RIP-Sequencing, and METTL14 MeRIP-Sequencing were conducted. Five genes were commonly identified, including four protein coding genes (PPIEL, AKR1C1, SARS2 and CSF1R) and one lncRNA ASAP1-IT2. After validation with TCGA dataset, Colony Stimulating Factor 1 Receptor (CSF1R) showed significant positive coefficient with METTL14, and was presumed to be the target of METTl14 in lung cancer. In conclusion, this study, uncovered an m6A RNA modification atlas, and revealed the clinical significance, in vitro function and molecular targets CSF1R of METTL14 in NSCLC.

Project description:Obesity is associated with impaired β-adrenergic receptor (Adrb1-3) signaling and lipolysis, leading to aberrant white adipose tissue (WAT) growth. WAT research has been centered on transcriptional and posttranslational regulations, but posttranscriptional regulation and mRNA modifications are poorly understood. Here, we unveil a METTL14/N6-methyladenosine (m6A) paradigm guiding β-adrenergic signaling and lipolysis. METTL14 complex installs m6A on RNA, regulating mRNA fate and translation. We found that feeding and insulin increased adipose Mettl14 and m6A levels. Adipose Mettl14 and m6A were upregulated in high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. Ablation of adipose Mettl14 decreased Adrb2, Adrb3, Atgl (encoding lipase), and Cig-58 (Atgl activator) transcript m6A contents while increasing their translation and protein levels, thereby enhancing adipose β-adrenergic signaling and lipolysis. Consequently, adipocyte-specific Mettl14 knockout mice were resistant to HFD-induced obesity, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and NAFLD. These results unravel a METTL14/m6A-based epitranscriptomic mechanism governing β-adrenergic signaling, lipolysis, and adipose growth in health and disease.
