Abstract
Irradiation of the major conformation of duplex DNA found in cells (B form) produces cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) from adjacent pyrimidines in a head-to-head orientation (syn) with the C5 substituents in a cis stereochemistry. These CPDs have crucial implications in skin cancer. Irradiation of G-quadruplexes and other non-B DNA conformations in vitro produces, however, CPDs between nonadjacent pyrimidines in nearby loops with syn and head-to-tail orientations (anti) with both cis and trans stereochemistry to yield a mixture of six possible isomers of the T=T dimer. This outcome is further complicated by formation of mixtures of nonadjacent CPDs of C=T, T=C, and C=C, and successful analysis depends on development of specific and sensitive methods. Toward meeting this need, we investigated whether ion mobility mass spectrometry (IMMS) and MS/MS can distinguish the cis,syn and trans,anti T=T CPDs. Ion mobility can afford baseline separation and give relative mobilities that are in accord with predicted cross sections. Complementing this ability to distinguish isomers is MS/MS collisional activation where fragmentation also distinguishes the two isomers and confirms conclusions drawn from ion mobility analysis. The observations offer early support that ion mobility and MS/MS can enable the distinction of DNA photoproduct isomers.

Prediction of m6A and m5C at single-molecule resolution reveals a transcriptome-wide co-occurrence of RNA modifications. Nat Commun 2024; 15:3899.

Abstract
The epitranscriptome embodies many new and largely unexplored functions of RNA. A significant roadblock hindering progress in epitranscriptomics is the identification of more than one modification in individual transcript molecules. We address this with CHEUI (CH3 (methylation) Estimation Using Ionic current). CHEUI predicts N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and 5-methylcytosine (m5C) in individual molecules from the same sample, the stoichiometry at transcript reference sites, and differential methylation between any two conditions. CHEUI processes observed and expected nanopore direct RNA sequencing signals to achieve high single-molecule, transcript-site, and stoichiometry accuracies in multiple tests using synthetic RNA standards and cell line data. CHEUI's capability to identify two modification types in the same sample reveals a co-occurrence of m6A and m5C in individual mRNAs in cell line and tissue transcriptomes. CHEUI provides new avenues to discover and study the function of the epitranscriptome.
