Identifying the potential targets of METTL3 in macrophages by high-throughput m6A-seq
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most prevalent internal messenger RNA modification, plays critical roles in diverse biological processes. To characterize the potential involvement of METTL3 in macrophage function, we mapped m6A methylomes of METTL3-deficent and WT macrophages by m6A sequencing (m6A-seq) and RNA-seq, with independent biological replicates. Notably, among the m6A peaks with remarkable changes upon METTL3-depletion, the vast majority exhibited a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in m6A abundance.The most common m6A motif GGAC is significantly enriched in the m6A peaks in both WT and METTL3-deficent cells. A similar pattern of total and common m6A distribution in control and METTL3-deficient cells was observed, when the m6A peaks were especially abundant in the vicinity of CDS and 3’UTR regions.
