5-methylcytosine (mC) is a prevalent RNA modification crucial for gene expression regulation. However, accurate and sensitive mC sites identification remains challenging due to severe RNA degradation and reduced sequence complexity during bisulfite sequencing (BS-seq). Here, we report mC-TAC-seq, a bisulfite-free approach combining TET-assisted mC-to-fC oxidation with selective chemical labeling, therefore enabling direct base-resolution mC detection through pre-enrichment and C-to-T transitions at mC sites. With mC-TAC-seq, we comprehensively profiled the mC methylomes in human and mouse cells, identifying a substantially larger number of confident mC sites. Through perturbing potential mC methyltransferases, we deciphered the responsible enzymes for most mC sites, including the characterization of NSUN5’s involvement in mRNA mC deposition. Additionally, we characterized mC dynamics during mESC differentiation. Notably, the mild reaction conditions and preservation of nucleotide composition in mC-TAC-seq allow mC detection in chromatin-associated RNAs. The accurate and robust mC-TAC-seq will advance research into mC methylation functional investigation.

通过无亚硫酸氢盐酶辅助化学标记方法对哺乳动物转录组进行碱基分辨率 m5C 分析



5-甲基胞嘧啶 (mC) 是一种常见的 RNA 修饰,对于基因表达调控至关重要。然而,由于重亚硫酸盐测序 (BS-seq) 过程中 RNA 严重降解和序列复杂性降低,准确且灵敏的 mC 位点识别仍然具有挑战性。在这里,我们报告了 mC-TAC-seq,这是一种无亚硫酸氢盐的方法,将 TET 辅助的 mC 到 fC 氧化与选择性化学标记相结合,因此能够通过预富集和 C 到 T 转换来直接进行碱基分辨率 mC 检测。 mC 站点。通过 mC-TAC-seq,我们全面分析了人类和小鼠细胞中的 mC 甲基化组,识别出大量的可信 mC 位点。通过干扰潜在的 mC 甲基转移酶,我们破译了大多数 mC 位点的负责酶,包括 NSUN5 参与 mRNA mC 沉积的特征。此外,我们还对 mESC 分化过程中的 mC 动力学进行了表征。值得注意的是,mC-TAC-seq 中温和的反应条件和核苷酸组成的保存允许在染色质相关 RNA 中进行 mC 检测。准确而稳健的 mC-TAC-seq 将推进 mC 甲基化功能研究的研究。
