          Abstract

          Chemical modification of transcripts with 5′ caps occurs in all organisms. Here, we report a systems-level mass spectrometry-based technique, CapQuant, for quantitative analysis of an organism's cap epitranscriptome. The method was piloted with 21 canonical caps—m 7GpppN, m 7GpppNm, GpppN, GpppNm, and m 2,2,7GpppG—and 5 ‘metabolite’ caps—NAD, FAD, UDP-Glc, UDP-GlcNAc, and dpCoA. Applying CapQuant to RNA from purified dengue virus, Escherichia coli, yeast, mouse tissues, and human cells, we discovered new cap structures in humans and mice (FAD, UDP-Glc, UDP-GlcNAc, and m 7Gpppm 6A), cell- and tissue-specific variations in cap methylation, and high proportions of caps lacking 2′- O-methylation (m 7Gpppm 6A in mammals, m 7GpppA in dengue virus). While substantial Dimroth-induced loss of m 1A and m 1Am arose with specific RNA processing conditions, human lymphoblast cells showed no detectable m 1A or m 1Am in caps. CapQuant accurately captured the preference for purine nucleotides at eukaryotic transcription start sites and the correlation between metabolite levels and metabolite caps.

          Nutrient-sensitive mitochondrial NAD+ levels dictate cell survival.

          A major cause of cell death caused by genotoxic stress is thought to be due to the depletion of NAD(+) from the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Here we show that NAD(+) levels in mitochondria remain at physiological levels following genotoxic stress and can maintain cell viability even when nuclear and cytoplasmic pools of NAD(+) are depleted. Rodents fasted for 48 hr show increased levels of the NAD(+) biosynthetic enzyme Nampt and a concomitant increase in mitochondrial NAD(+). Increased Nampt provides protection against cell death and requires an intact mitochondrial NAD(+) salvage pathway as well as the mitochondrial NAD(+)-dependent deacetylases SIRT3 and SIRT4. We discuss the relevance of these findings to understanding how nutrition modulates physiology and to the evolution of apoptosis.

            N6-Methyladenosine in Flaviviridae Viral RNA Genomes Regulates Infection

            Summary The RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) post-transcriptionally regulates RNA function. The cellular machinery that controls m6A includes methyltransferases and demethylases that add or remove this modification, as well as m6A-binding YTHDF proteins that promote the translation or degradation of m6A-modified mRNA. We demonstrate that m6A modulates infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV). Depletion of m6A methyltransferases or an m6A demethylase, respectively, increases or decreases infectious HCV particle production. During HCV infection, YTHDF proteins relocalize to lipid droplets, sites of viral assembly, and their depletion increases infectious viral particles. We further mapped m6A sites across the HCV genome and determined that inactivating m6A in one viral genomic region increases viral titer without affecting RNA replication. Additional mapping of m6A on the RNA genomes of other Flaviviridae, including dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and West Nile virus, identifies conserved regions modified by m6A. Altogether, this work identifies m6A as a conserved regulatory mark across Flaviviridae genomes.
