tRNA-derived RNA fragments (tRFs) are a recently discovered family of small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs). We previously reported that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection induces functional tRFs, which are derived from a limited subset of parent tRNAs, in airway epithelial cells. Such induction is also observed in nasopharyngeal wash samples from RSV patients and correlates to RSV genome copies, suggesting a clinical significance of tRFs in RSV infection. This work also investigates whether the modification of parent tRNAs is changed by RSV to induce tRFs, using one of the most inducible tRFs as a model. We discovered that RSV infection changed the methylation modification of adenine at position 57 in tRNA glutamic acid, with a codon of CTC (tRNA-GluCTC), and the change is essential for its cleavage. AlkB homolog 1, a previously reported tRNA demethylase, appears to remove methyladenine from tRNA-GluCTC, prompting the subsequent production of tRFs from the 5′-end of tRNA-GluCTC, a regulator of RSV replication. This study demonstrates for the first time the importance of post-transcriptional modification of tRNAs in tRF biogenesis following RSV infection, providing critical insights for antiviral strategy development. |
