The posttranscriptional modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA) provides an additional layer of regulatory complexity during gene expression. Here, we show that a tRNA methyltransferase, TRMT10A, interacts with an mRNA demethylase FTO (ALKBH9), both in vitro and inside cells. TRMT10A installs <i>N</i><sup>1</sup>-methylguanosine (m<sup>1</sup>G) in tRNA, and FTO performs demethylation on <i>N</i><sup>6</sup>-methyladenosine (m<sup>6</sup>A) and <i>N</i><sup>6</sup>,2'-<i>O</ ...[more]
