Methyltransferase ATMETTL5 writes m6A on 18S ribosomal RNA to regulate translation in Arabidopsis.
Aberrant RNA modifications can lead to dysregulated gene expression and impeded growth in plants. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) constitutes a substantial portion of total RNA, while the precise functions and molecular mechanisms underlying rRNA modifications in plants remain largely elusive. Here, we elucidated the exclusive occurrence of the canonical RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) solely 18S rRNA, but not 25S rRNA. We identified a completely uncharacterized protein, ATMETTL5, as an Arabidopsis m6A methyltransferase responsible for installing m6A methylation at the 1771 site of the 18S rRNA. ATMETTL5 is ubiquitously expressed and localized in both nucleus and cytoplasm, mediating rRNA m6A methylation. Mechanistically, the loss of ATMETTL5-mediated methylation results in attenuated translation. Furthermore, we uncovered the role of ATMETTL5-mediated methylation in coordinating blue light-mediated hypocotyl growth by regulating the translation of blue light-related messenger RNAs (mRNAs), specifically HYH and PRR9. Our findings provide mechanistic insights into how rRNA modification regulates ribosome function in mRNA translation and the response to blue light, thereby advancing our understanding of the role of epigenetic modifications in precisely regulating mRNA translation in plants.
