Project description:Cellular RNAs are covalently modified and these modifications can impact on all biological processes and hence are implicated in different types of diseases. Amongst RNA modifications, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most widespread and has been found on messenger (mRNA), ribosomal (rRNA), non-coding and spliceosomal RNAs. We undertook a systematic screen to uncover new RNA-methyltransferases. We demonstrate that the methyltransferase-like 5 protein (METTL5) is an 18S rRNA specific methyltransferase and interacts specifically with Trmt122.
Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in mammalian messenger RNA (mRNA). It is installed by writer proteins and can be reversed by erasers. FTO was the first RNA demethylase shown to catalyze oxidative demethylation of m6A in RNA. Despite extensive studies, the main physiological substrates of FTO and the related functional pathways remain elusive in many systems, in particular during early mammalian development. Here, we show that FTO mediates the m6A demethylation of chromosome-associated repeat RNAs in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), especially the long-interspersed element-1 family (LINE1) RNA, thereby affecting their abundances to regulate chromatin state.
Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6,2′-O‐dimethyladenosine (m6Am) are two abundant modifications found in mRNAs and ncRNAs that can regulate multiple aspects of RNA biology and function mainly through regulation of interaction with specific RNA-binding proteins. Both modifications are linked to development, disease and stress response. To date three methylases and two demethylases have been identified that modify adenosines in mammalian (m)RNAs. Here we provide a comprehensive study of the in vivo protein-protein interactome of the key methyltransferases and demethylases using the BioID proximity biotinylation approach, which allows capturing of stable and short-lived interactions. Our results show that METTL3, METTL16, CAPAM, FTO and ALKBH5 occupy specific non overlapping protein interacting territories. Moreover, the individual interactomes help to understand the biological functions of these enzymes
Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most popular RNA modifications, which is widely found in messenger RNAs (mRNAs) .In our study,we provide m6A profiles of human invasive malignant pleomorphic adenoma, which open an avenue for in-depth knowledge and understanding of m6A topology in invasive malignant pleomorphic adenoma.
Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most popular RNA modifications, which is widely found in messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and non-coding RNA like long no-coding RNA (lncRNAs) and circular RNA (circRNAs).In our study,we provide m6A landscape of human ameloblastoma, which expands the understanding of m6A modifications and uncovers regulation of lncRNAs and circRNAs through m6A modification in ameloblastoma.
