Abstract
N1-methyladenosine(m1A)is an important RNA modification that functions in various biological pro-cesses by interacting with cellular proteins.However,the binding proteins of N1-methyldeoxyadenosine(1mdA)in DNA remain largely unknown.Herein,we employed a quantitative proteomics strategy to iden-tify the potential binding proteins of 1mdA in human cells.Our results revealed that serine-threonine kinase receptor-associated protein(STRAP)can bind to 1mdA-carrying DNA.We further demonstrated that STRAP participates in alkylating agent-induced DNA damage response and can promote the repair of 1mdA embedded in DNA.Moreover,we investigated the effects of STRAP on 1mdA-induced perturba-tion in transcription using a shuttle vector-and next-generation sequencing-based assay,and found that STRAP is involved in the transcriptional bypass of 1mdA in human cells.Together,our study revealed STRAP as a novel 1mdA-binding protein in human cells and provided new insight into the biological implications of STRAP and 1mdA modification in human diseases.
