Mutations in NSUN2 Cause Autosomal- Recessive Intellectual Disability [PDF]

The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2012
With a prevalence between 1 and 3%, hereditary forms of intellectual disability (ID) are among the most important problems in health care. Particularly, autosomal-recessive forms of the disorder have a very heterogeneous molecular basis, and genes with an increased number of disease-causing mutations are not common.

RNA methyltransferase NSUN2 promotes growth of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by regulating fizzy‐related‐1 in vitro and in vivo

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2021
The aim of the study was to investigate the role of NSUN2 (NOP2/Sun RNA Methyltransferase Family Member 2) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The expressions of NSUN2 and FZR1 were measured. Cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis were assessed. HCC

The RNA Methyltransferase NSUN2 and Its Potential Roles in Cancer [PDF]

Cells, 2020
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, and a number of long noncoding RNAs.

The Effect of Methyltransferase NSUN2 in Stroke

, 2021
Abstract Stroke is one of the most important diseases that seriously threaten the health and public health of elderly patients.NSUN2 refers to the predominant methyltransferase for RNA m5C methylation, contributing to increased RNA stability, translocation and translation, and playing an important role in the physiopathology.

NSUN2 modified by SUMO-2/3 promotes gastric cancer progression and regulates mRNA m5C methylation

Cell Death and Disease, 2021
The 5-methylcytosine (m5C) RNA methyltransferase NSUN2 is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and metastasis formation and is upregulated in multiple cancers.

NSUN2 promotes osteosarcoma progression by enhancing the stability of FABP5 mRNA via m5C methylation

Cell Death and Disease, 2023
5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification, which is mainly induced by the RNA methyltransferase NSUN2 (NOP2/Sun domain family, member 2), is an important chemical posttranscriptional modification in mRNA and has been proven to play important roles in the ...

NSUN2 introduces 5-methylcytosines in mammalian mitochondrial tRNAs

Nucleic Acids Research, 2019
Abstract Expression of human mitochondrial DNA is indispensable for proper function of the oxidative phosphorylation machinery. The mitochondrial genome encodes 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs and 11 mRNAs and their post-transcriptional modification constitutes one of the key regulatory steps during mitochondrial gene expression.

Mammalian NSUN2 introduces 5-methylcytidines into mitochondrial tRNAs

Nucleic 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-mediated m5C modification of HBV RNA positively regulates HBV replication

PLOS Pathogens, 2023
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major cause of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, despite strong prevention and treatment efforts. The study of the epigenetic modification of HBV has become a research hotspot, including the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of HBV RNA, which plays complex roles in the HBV life cycle.

Aberrant m5C hypermethylation mediates intrinsic resistance to gefitinib through NSUN2/YBX1/QSOX1 axis in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer

Molecular Cancer, 2023
Background RNA 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of various tumors. However, the function and molecular mechanism of RNA m5C modification in tumor drug resistance remain unclear.
