Project description:RNA modifications are rapidly emerging as critical post-transcriptional regulators which play a key role in various biological processes. N4-acetylcysteine (ac4C) is one of the “epi-transcriptome” that is present on tRNA, rRNA, mRNA and is also highly conserved in all species. However, cytidine acetylation's in vivo physiological functions remain poorly understood particularly in mammals. Here we demonstrate only known ac4C “writer”—N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) plays essential roles in male reproduction. NAT10 protein and the ac4C modification have different patterns in different organs and there are dynamic changes during spermatogenesis. Germ cell-specific ablation of NAT10 severely inhibited meiotic entry and defects in synapse the homologous chromosomes, repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) during prophase of the first meiotic division. ac4C RIP-qPCR reveals genes functioning in meiotic prophase I show a decrease in Nat10fl/-; Stra8 GFP-Cre mouse testes. These findings highlight the crucial physiological functions of mRNA ac4C modification in male spermatogenesis and expand our understanding of mRNA ac4C modification in the regulation of specific physiological processes in vivo.

Project description:Despite the advance in diagnosis and treatment, the prognosis of osteosarcoma patients remains unsatisfied. Therefore, it is imperative to identify novel therapeutic targets for osteosarcoma. Through RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) combined with functional screening, N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) was identified as a candidate therapeutic target in osteosarcoma. Upregulated NAT10 correlated with poor prognosis in osteosarcoma patients and NAT10 knockout drastically inhibited cell proliferation and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. NAT10 enhanced mRNA stability and translation efficiency of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) through ac4C modification. ATF4 induced transcription of asparagine synthetase (ASNS), which catalyzes asparagine (Asn) biosynthesis. Asn promote protein and nucleotide synthesis, facilitating osteosarcoma progression. Overexpression of ATF4, ASNS or supplementation of asparagine rescue the tumor inhibitory effect of NAT10 knockout.

Project description:N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C), a newly identified epigenetic modification within mRNAs, has been characterized as a crucial regulator of mRNA stability and translation efficiency. And NAT10 is the only known RNA acetyltransferase. In our study, we documented the down-regulated expression of both ac4C and NAT10 during meiotic maturation of mouse oocytes. NAT10 knockdown resulted in ac4C reduction and impaired mouse oocyte maturation in vitro. These results indicated that NAT10-mediated ac4C modification plays a critical regulatory role in oocyte meiotic maturation. We further performed high-throughput sequencing with NAT10-overexpressed HEK293T cells and NAT10-binding transcripts to investigate the genes modulated by NAT10-mediated ac4C modification.

Project description:N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) is an evolutionarily conserved RNA modification that is deposited on diverse RNAs by N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10), a protein with high biological significance for aging and cancer. Here, we performed a comprehensive survey of ac4C using metabolic labeling, sodium cyanoborohydride chemical treatment coupled to next generation sequencing (NGS) and ac4C antibody-based cell and molecular biology techniques. Our NGS analysis confirms robust ac4C modification of rRNA and specific tRNA species in a NAT10-dependent manner, but suggests low or spurious ac4C acetylation in mRNA. Analysis of RNA-seq data also revealed an induction of inflammatory responses as well as mutagenesis at transcriptionally active sites in NAT10-KO cells. This finding led us to further explore the role of NAT10 in R-loops, which have recently been shown to induce APOBEC3B-mediated mutagenesis. Our analysis revealed that R-loops are modified with ac4C in a NAT10-dependent manner. Furthermore, NAT10 restrains the levels of R-loops at a subset of differentially expressed genes in a manner dependent on its catalytic activity. Together with cellular biology data showing ac4C containing RNA in endosomal structures, we propose that increased levels of ac4C-unmodified RNAs, likely derived from R-loops, in endosomal structures induce inflammatory responses.

Project description:Increased differentiation or activity of osteoclasts is the key pathogenic factor of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). N4‐acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification, catalyzed by Nat10, is a novel post-transcriptional mRNA modification related to many diseases. However, its impact on regulating osteoclast activation in PMOP remains uncertain. Here, we initially observed that Nat10-mediated ac4C positively correlates with osteoclast differentiation of monocytes and low bone mass in PMOP. The specific knockout of Nat10 in monocytes and remodelin, a Nat10 inhibitor, alleviates ovariectomized (OVX)-induced bone loss by downregulating osteoclast differentiation. Mechanistically, epitranscriptomic analyses reveal that the nuclear factor of activated T cells cytoplasmic 1 (Nfatc1) is the key downstream target of ac4C modification during osteoclast differentiation. Subsequently, translatomic results demonstrate that Nat10-mediated ac4C enhances the translation efficiency of Nfatc1, thereby inducing Nfatc1 expression and consequent osteoclast maturation. Cumulatively, these findings reveal the promotive role of Nat10 in osteoclast differentiation and PMOP from a novel field of RNA modifications and suggest that Nat10 can be a target of epigenetic therapy for preventing bone loss in PMOP.
