Functions of N6-methyladenosine and its role in cancer [PDF]

Molecular Cancer, 2019
AbstractN6-methyladenosine (m6A) is methylation that occurs in the N6-position of adenosine, which is the most prevalent internal modification on eukaryotic mRNA. Accumulating evidence suggests that m6A modulates gene expression, thereby regulating cellular processes ranging from cell self-renewal, differentiation, invasion and apoptosis.

N6-methyladenosine marks primary microRNAs for processing [PDF]

Nature, 2015
The first step in the biogenesis of microRNAs is the processing of primary microRNAs (pri-miRNAs) by the microprocessor complex, composed of the RNA-binding protein DGCR8 and the type III RNase DROSHA. This initial event requires recognition of the junction between the stem and the flanking single-stranded RNA of the pri-miRNA hairpin by DGCR8 followed

Role of N6-methyladenosine modification in cancer

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2018
As the most abundant internal modification in eukaryotic messenger RNAs identified, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been shown recently to play essential roles in various normal bioprocesses. Evidence is emerging that m6A modification and its regulatory proteins also play critical roles in various cancers including leukemia, brain tumor, breast cancer and
