mRNA methylation is an important regulator of many physiological processes in eukaryotes but has not been studied in depth in prokaryotes. In contrast to the large number of eukaryotic mRNA modifications that have been described, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the only modification of bacterial mRNA identified to date. Here, we used a gel electrophoresis-based RNA separation method and quantitatively analyzed the mRNA-specific modification profile of Escherichia coli using mass spectrometry. In addition to m6A, we provide evidence for the presence of 7-methylguanosine (m7G), and we found first hints for 5-methylcytidine (m5C), N6,N6-dimethyladenosine (m6,6A), 1-methylguanosine (m1G), 5-methyluridine (m5U), and pseudouridine (Ψ) in the mRNA of E. coli, which implies that E. coli has a complex mRNA modification pattern. Furthermore, we observed changes in the abundance of some mRNA modifications during the transition of E. coli from the exponential growth to the stationary phase as well as upon exposure to stress. This study reveals a previously underestimated level of regulation between transcription and translation in bacteria.

AbstractNeuron morphology is recognized as a key determinant of cell type, yet the quantitative profiling of a mammalian neuron’s complete three-dimensional (3-D) morphology remains arduous when the neuron has complex arborization and long projection. Whole-brain reconstruction of neuron morphology is even more challenging as it involves processing tens of teravoxels of imaging data. Validating such reconstructions is extremely laborious. We developed TeraVR, an open-source virtual reality annotation system, to address these challenges. TeraVR integrates immersive and collaborative 3-D visualization, interaction, and hierarchical streaming of teravoxel-scale images. Using TeraVR, we produced precise 3-D full morphology of long-projecting neurons in whole mouse brains and developed a collaborative workflow for highly accurate neuronal reconstruction.
