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), a conserved but recently rediscovered RNA modification on tRNAs, rRNAs and mRNAs, is catalyzed by N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10). Lysine acylation is a ubiquitous protein modification that controls protein functions. Our latest study demonstrates a NAT10-dependent ac4C modification, which occurs on the polyadenylated nuclear RNA (PAN) encoded by oncogenic DNA virus Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), can induce KSHV reactivation from latency and activate inflammasome. However, it remains unclear whether a novel lysine acylation occurs in NAT10 during KSHV reactivation and how this acylation of NAT10 regulates tRNAs ac4C modification. Here, we showed that NAT10 was lactylated by α-tubulin acetyltransferase 1 (ATAT1), as a writer at the critical domain, to exert RNA acetyltransferase function and thus increase the ac4C level of tRNASer-CGA-1-1. Mutagenesis at the ac4C site in tRNASer-CGA-1-1 inhibited its ac4C modifications, translation efficiency of viral lytic genes, and virion production. Mechanistically, KSHV PAN orchestrated NAT10 and ATAT1 to enhance NAT10 lactylation, resulting in tRNASer-CGA-1-1 ac4C modification, eventually boosting KSHV reactivation. Our findings reveal a novel post-translational modification in NAT10, as well as expand the understanding about tRNA-related ac4C modification during KSHV replication, which may be exploited to design therapeutic strategies for KSHV-related diseases.

Project description:Mammalian oocyte maturation is driven by strictly translational regulation of maternal mRNAs stored in the cytoplasm. However, the function and mechanism of post-transcriptional chemical modifications especially the newly identified N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) catalyzed by N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) in this process are previously unknown. In this study, we developed a low-input ac4C sequencing technology - ac4C LACE-seq and mapped 8241 ac4C peaks at the whole transcriptome level using 50 mouse oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage. We profiled the mRNA landscapes of NAT10-interactions and ac4C modifications. The NAT10-interacted and ac4C modified transcripts displayed association with high translation efficiency in oocytes. Oocyte-specific Nat10 knockout wiped out ac4C signals in oocytes and caused severe defects in meiotic maturation and female infertility. ac4C LACE-seq results indicated that Nat10 deletion led to a failure of ac4C deposition on mRNAs encoding key maternal factors such as MAY2, ZAR1, BTG4 and cyclin B1 that regulate transcriptome stability and maternal-to-zygotic transition. Nat10-deleted oocytes had decreased mRNA translation efficiencies during meiotic maturation, partially due to the direct inhibition ac4C sites on specific transcripts. In sum, we developed low-input, high-sensitivity mRNA ac4C profiling approach and highlighted the important physiological function of ac4C in precise regulation of the oocyte meiotic maturation by enhancing translation efficiency.

Project description:N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) is a posttransciptional RNA modification regulating in various important bioprocess. However, the role in human cancer, especially lymph node metastasis, remains largely unknown. Here, we showed NAT10, as the only “writer” of ac4C mRNA modification, was highly expressed in HNSCC patients with lymph node metastasis. High NAT10 levels in lymph node of HNSCC patients predicted poor overall survival. Moreover, we found the high expression of NAT10 was positively upregulated by NRF1 transcription factor. Gain and loss-of-function displayed that NAT10 promoted cell metastasis in mice. Mechanistically, NAT10 induced ac4C modification of GLMP and stabilized its mRNA, which triggered the activation of MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. Lastly, the NAT10’s specific inhibitor Remodelin could inhibit HNSCC tumorigenesis via 4-NQO-induced murine tumor model and remodel the tumor microenvironment, including angiogenesis, CD8+ T cell and Treg recruitment. These results demonstrated that NAT10 promoted lymph node metastasis of HNSCC via ac4C-dependent stabilization of GLMP transcript, providing a potential epitranscriptomic-targeted therapeutic strategy for HNSCC.

Project description:N4 acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification mainly occurs on tRNA, rRNA, and mRNA, playing an important role in the expression of genetic information. However, it is still unclear whether microRNAs have undergone ac4C modification and their potential physiological and pathological functions. In this study, we identified that NAT10/THUMPD1 acetylates primary microRNAs (pri-miRNAs) with ac4C modification. Knockdown of NAT10 suppresses and augments the expression levels of mature miRNAs and pri-miRNAs, respectively. Molecular mechanism studies found that pri-miRNA ac4C promotes the processing of pri-miRNA into precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA) by enhancing the interaction of pri-miRNA and DGCR8, thereby increasing the biogenesis of mature miRNA. Knockdown of NAT10 attenuates the oncogenic characters of lung cancer cells by regulating miRNA production in cancers. Moreover, NAT10 is highly expressed in various clinical cancers and negatively correlated with poor prognosis. Thus, our results reveal that NAT10 plays a crucial role in cancer initiation and progression by modulating pri-miRNA ac4C to affect miRNA production, which would provide an attractive therapeutic strategy for cancers.
