Fine-tuning of gene expression through the Mettl3-Mettl14-Dnmt1 axis controls ESC differentiationCell · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
The epigenetic marking of DNA, histones, and RNA is central for regulating gene expression in development and disease. On DNA, well-characterized 5-methylcytosine (5mC) controls the chromatin state. On mRNA, the most prevalent internal mark, N6-methyladenosine (m6A), installed by METTL3-METTL14 methyltransferases, regulates RNA metabolism.

Recent evidences link RNA modifications with epigenetics, notably by connecting m6A to histone marks. The crosstalk between m6A and DNA methylation, however, remains poorly understood. Here we reveal a direct mechanistic link between m6A and DNA methylation. Our findings indicate a proximal co-occurrence of m6A and 5mC marks at gene body and this contributes to enhanced gene expression. We show that the m6A writer METTL3 regulates intragenic methylation and gene expression. Mechanistically, we evidence a direct binding of METTL3-METTL14 to the 5mC methyltransferase DNMT1 and reveal that chromatin-tethered METTL14 recruits DNMT1 to chromatin. We demonstrate that gene-body 5mC and mRNA-stability-enhancing effect of coding-sequence m6A contribute to increased gene expression. We further substantiate our findings in embryonic stem cells by showing that METTL3 regulates gene-body methylation and expression of key differentiation markers. Altogether, our work establishes a key layer of gene expression regulation, involving a direct mechanistic crosstalk between DNA methylation and RNA methylation machinery.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE218292_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for beta-value tables or raw IDAT files among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA903111 and SRA study SRP408575. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
