Nitric oxide inhibits FTO demethylase activity to regulate N6-methyladenosine mRNA methylation [MDA-MB-468-RNASeq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Here we show that nitric oxide (NO) is a potent inhibitor of FTO demethylase activity by directly binding to the catalytic iron center, which causes global m6A hypermethylation of mRNA in cells and results in gene-specific enrichment of m6A on mRNA of NO-regulated transcripts. Both cell culture and tumor xenograft models demonstrated that endogenous NO synthesis can regulate m6A-mRNA levels and transcriptional changes of m6A-associated genes. These results build a direct link between NO and m6A-mRNA regulation and reveal a novel signaling mechanism of NO as an endogenous regulator of the epitranscriptome.
