Mammalian NSUN2 introduces 5-methylcytidines into mitochondrial tRNAs

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2019
ABSTRACTPost-transcriptional modifications in mitochondrial tRNAs (mt-tRNAs) play critical roles in mitochondrial protein synthesis, which produces respiratory chain complexes. In this study, we used mass spectrometric analysis to map 5-methylcytidine (m5C) at positions 48–50 in eight mouse and six human mt-tRNAs.

NSUN2 gene rs13181449 C>T polymorphism reduces neuroblastoma risk

Gene, 2023
Neuroblastoma is the most common tumor in infants. RNA m5C modification regulates the survival, differentiation, and migration of cells affecting RNA function. However, the effects of the m5C modification methyltransferase gene NSUN2 polymorphism on neuroblastoma susceptibility have not been reported.

NSUN2-Mediated m5C Methylation Impairs Endometrial Receptivity

Laboratory Investigation
Impaired endometrial decidualization is the primary cause of recurrent implantation failure (RIF). RNA methylation modification, especially NSUN family mediated m5C, is crucial for various physiological events, such as maternal-to-zygotic transition, gametogenesis, embryonic development, organismal lifespan, and cell cycle.

ETV4/NSUN2 Axis modulates aerobic glycolysis and malignancy in HSCC

Human Molecular Genetics
Abstract This study delves into the molecular intricacies of hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC), specifically focusing on the pivotal role played by ETS translocation variant 4 (ETV4) in aerobic glycolysis. The objective is to uncover new targets for early diagnosis and treatment of HSCC.

mRNA methylation by NSUN2 in cell proliferation

WIREs RNA, 2016
Methylation is a prevalent post‐transcriptional modification that occurs in almost all RNA species. NSUN2, a nucleolar RNA methyltransferase, has been shown to methylate mRNAs encoding factors that control cell division and growth arrest, thereby affecting their stability and/or translation.
