Gene Regulation through N6-methyladenosine Demethylation and Suppression
 
Abstract
m6A is the most prevalent internal mRNA modification in high eukaryotes, which regulates the fate of methylated RNA in almost every aspect. In this talk, I will share two stories that illustrate how m6A demethylation and suppression control gene expression. The first part focuses on the physiological substrate and function of FTO, the first identified RNA demethylase, during mammalian development. I will explain how m6A demethylation of RNA transcribed from LINE1, a crucial transposable element, shapes local chromatin state and nearby gene transcription. In the second part of my talk, I will introduce the concept of the "m6A suppressor" and the identification of Exon Junction Complex (EJC) as the first mRNA m6A suppressor. I will also discuss how exon architecture determines mRNA m6A landscape and subsequent transcript degradation, and its potential implications in cDNA gene therapy and vertebrate evolution. These two stories highlight the significance of RNA m6A in gene regulation and provide insight into translational research applications.
 
Biography
Jiangbo received his B.S. degree in Chemistry from Peking University in 2015. He did his Ph.D. study and Postdoc work at The University of Chicago with Prof. Chuan He, focusing on the context-dependent function of RNA modifications in gene regulation. Recently, Jiangbo was awarded the prestigious NUS Presidential Young Professorship (PYP) in April 2023. He joined the Department of Chemistry and Department of Biological Sciences as a NUS PYP Assistant Professor in December 2023. Jiangbo’s research integrates the eiptranscriptomics with chemical biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, and epigenetics, to investigate RNA modification-mediated gene regulation in various biological systems and its translational research potentials in human health as well as mammalian and plant development.

A Manganese Bullet Targeting the Top Killer?
 
Abstract
Precise control of circulating lipids is instrumental in health and disease. Bulk lipids, carried by specialized lipoproteins, are secreted into the circulation initially via the COPII complex. How the universal COPII machinery accommodates the abundant yet unconventional lipoproteins remains unclear, let alone its therapeutic translation. We recently found that COPII employs manganese-tuning, self-constrained condensation to selectively drive lipoprotein delivery and set lipid homeostasis in vivo. Serendipitously, adenovirus hijacks the condensation-based transport mechanism, thus enabling the identification of cytosolic manganese as an unexpected control signal. Manganese directly binds the inner COPII coat and enhances its condensation, thereby shifting the assembly-vs-dynamics balance of the transport machinery. Manganese can be mobilized from mitochondria stores to signal COPII and selectively controls lipoprotein secretion with a distinctive, bell-shape function. Consequently, dietary titration of manganese enables tailored lipid management and reverses deadly atherosclerosis, implicating a condensation-targeting strategy with broad therapeutic potential for cardio-metabolic health.
 
Biography
Prof Xiao-Wei Chen obtained his BS and BA from Peking University, and completed his PhD and postdoctoral training at the University of Michigan. He was recruited back to the Peking University in 2014. Currently, he is the Boya Distinguished Professor at the College of Future Technology and the Principal Investigator of the Peking-Tsinghua Joint Center for Life Sciences. He is the recipient of the Young Investigator Award from the Chinese American Diabetes Association and Special Recognition Award from the Society of Heart and Vascular Metabolism, as well as the Earl Stadtman Scholar finalist from the National Institute of Health, USA and the Distinguished Young Scholar Award from the National Natural Science Foundation, China. He serves as an associate editor at the Biochemical Journal and on the editorial board of Cell Metabolism, Life Metabolism and Journal of Lipid Research. His work focuses on the fundamental mechanism and translational application of lipoprotein biology and lipid homeostasis, particularly by elucidating a receptor-mediated export program for the lipoproteins and identifying the long-sought biogenic lipid scramblase.
