Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic. 2′-O-RNA methyltransferase (MTase) is one of the enzymes of this virus that is a potential target for antiviral therapy as it is crucial for RNA cap ...

Berberine and berbamine are bioactive compounds of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) present in Berberis species. The contents of berbamine are 20 times higher than berberine in leaf tissues in three closely related species: Berberis koreana, B ...

Programmable m6A modification of cellular RNAs with a Cas13-directed methyltransferase
N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is the most widespread internal messenger RNA modification in humans. Despite recent progress in understanding the biological roles of m6A, the inability to install m6A site specifically in individual transcripts has hampered ...

Mammalian WTAP is a regulatory subunit of the RNA N6-methyladenosine methyltransferase
The methyltransferase like 3 (METTL3)-containing methyltransferase complex catalyzes the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) formation, a novel epitranscriptomic marker; however, the nature of this complex remains largely unknown.

The human 18S rRNA m6A methyltransferase METTL5 is stabilized by TRMT112
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has recently been found abundantly on messenger RNA and shown to regulate most steps of mRNA metabolism. Several important m6A methyltransferases have been described functionally and structurally, but the enzymes responsible for ...

5-methylcytosine promotes mRNA export — NSUN2 as the methyltransferase and ALYREF as an m5C reader
5-methylcytosine (m5C) is a post-transcriptional RNA modification identified in both stable and highly abundant tRNAs and rRNAs, and in mRNAs. However, its regulatory role in mRNA metabolism is still largely unknown.

The RNA Methyltransferase NSUN2 and Its Potential Roles in Cancer
5-methylcytosine is often associated as an epigenetic modifier in DNA. However, it is also found increasingly in a plethora of RNA species, predominantly transfer RNAs, but increasingly found in cytoplasmic and mitochondrial ribosomal RNAs, enhancer RNAs,

PRMT5 function and targeting in cancer
Protein methyl transferases play critical roles in numerous regulatory pathways that underlie cancer development, progression and therapy-response. Here we discuss the function of PRMT5, a member of the nine-member PRMT family, in controlling oncogenic ...
