RESUMO

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification occurs co-transcriptionally and impacts pre-mRNA processing; however, the mechanism of co-transcriptional m6A-dependent alternative splicing regulation is still poorly understood. Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G (hnRNPG) is an m6A reader protein that binds RNA through RRM and Arg-Gly-Gly (RGG) motifs. Here, we show that hnRNPG directly binds to the phosphorylated carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) using RGG motifs in its low-complexity region. Through interactions with the phosphorylated CTD and nascent RNA, hnRNPG associates co-transcriptionally with RNAPII and regulates alternative splicing transcriptome-wide. m6A near splice sites in nascent pre-mRNA modulates hnRNPG binding, which influences RNAPII occupancy patterns and promotes exon inclusion. Our results reveal an integrated mechanism of co-transcriptional m6A-mediated splicing regulation, in which an m6A reader protein uses RGG motifs to co-transcriptionally interact with both RNAPII and m6A-modified nascent pre-mRNA to modulate RNAPII occupancy and alternative splicing.

RESUMO

Dehydroalanine (Dha) is a nonproteinogenic electrophilic amino acid that is a synthetic intermediate or product in the biosynthesis of several bioactive cyclic peptides such as lantibiotics, thiopeptides, and microcystins. Dha also enables labeling of proteins and synthesis of post-translationally modified proteins and their analogues. However, current chemical approaches to introducing Dha into peptides have substantial limitations. Using in vitro selection, here we show that DNA can catalyze Zn(2+) or Zn(2+)/Mn(2+)-dependent formation of Dha from phosphoserine (pSer), i.e., exhibit pSer lyase activity, a fundamentally new DNA-catalyzed reaction. Two new pSer lyase deoxyribozymes, named Dha-forming deoxyribozymes 1 and 2 (DhaDz1 and DhaDz2), each function with multiple turnover on the model hexapeptide substrate that was used during selection. Using DhaDz1, we generated Dha from pSer within an unrelated linear 13-mer peptide. Subsequent base-promoted intramolecular cyclization of homocysteine into Dha formed a stable cystathionine (thioether) analogue of the complement inhibitor compstatin. These findings establish the fundamental catalytic ability of DNA to eliminate phosphate from pSer to form Dha and suggest that with further development, pSer lyase deoxyribozymes will have broad practical utility for site-specific enzymatic synthesis of Dha from pSer in peptide substrates.

RESUMO

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and pseudouridine (Ψ) are the two most abundant modifications in mammalian messenger RNA, but the coordination of their biological functions remains poorly understood. We develop a machine learning-based nanopore direct RNA sequencing method (NanoSPA) that simultaneously analyzes m6A and Ψ in the human transcriptome. Applying NanoSPA to polysome profiling, we reveal opposing transcriptomic co-occurrence of m6A and Ψ and synergistic, hierarchical effects of m6A and Ψ on the polysome.

RESUMO

Small RNAs include tRNA, snRNA, micro-RNA, tRNA fragments and others that constitute > 90% of RNA copy numbers in a human cell and perform many essential functions. Popular small RNA-seq strategies limit the insights into coordinated small RNA response to cellular stress. Small RNA-seq also lacks multiplexing capabilities. Here, we report a multiplex small RNA-seq library preparation method (MSR-seq) to investigate cellular small RNA and mRNA response to heat shock, hydrogen peroxide, and arsenite stress. Comparing stress-induced changes of total cellular RNA and polysome-associated RNA, we identify a coordinated tRNA response that involves polysome-specific tRNA abundance and synergistic N3-methylcytosine (m3C) tRNA modification. Combining tRNA and mRNA response to stress we reveal a mechanism of stress-induced down-regulation in translational elongation. We also find that native tRNA molecules lacking several modifications are biased reservoirs for the biogenesis of tRNA fragments. Our results demonstrate the importance of simultaneous investigation of small RNAs and their modifications in response to varying biological conditions.
