Pan-modification profiling facilitates a cross-evolutionary dissection of the thermoregulated ribosomal epitranscriptome

Published in Cell, 2025

Pan-Mod-seq enables high-throughput profiling of 16 rRNA modifications across diverse species, revealing that while these chemical markers are largely static in mesophiles, they are highly dynamic in hyperthermophiles. Specifically, a conserved m5C-ac4C module is co-induced by heat and serves a critical role in stabilizing ribosome structure at extreme temperatures. Cryo-EM and biophysical analyses confirm that this modification module provides essential thermostability required for hyperthermophilic growth.

Passive shaping of intra-and intercellular m6A dynamics via mRNA metabolism

Published in eLife, 2025

eLife assessment: This study presents a fundamental finding on how levels of m6A levels are controlled, invoking a consolidated model where degradation of modified RNAs in the cytoplasm plays a primary role in shaping m6A patterns and dynamics, rather than needing active regulation by m6A erasers and other related processes. The evidence is compelling through its use of transcriptome-wide data and mechanistic modeling. Relevant for any reader with an interest in RNA metabolism, this new framework consolidates previous observations and highlights the importance of careful experimentation for evaluation m6A levels. .

Multiplexed profiling facilitates robust m6A quantification at site, gene and sample resolution

Published in Nature Methods, 2021

Here we develop m6A-seq2, a multiplexed immunoprecipitation-RNA-seq coupled method that measures m6A across the epitranscriptome reducing technical variability, cost, and labor. Allowing for sample-level m6A relative quantitations, orthogonal to mass-spectrometry methods, as well as gene-level quantitations. We found that m6A-seq2 m6A gene-level measurements explains roughly 30% of the variability in the RNA half life on mouse embryonic stem cells.
