TLR Ignores Methylated RNA? [PDF]
Immunity, 2005 CpG methylation of DNA silences TLR9-mediated innate immune recognition. In this issue of Immunity, Kariko et al (2005) suggest that the innate immune recognition of RNA by TLR3, TLR7, or TLR8 is in fact controlled by modification of nucleotides, including methylation.

RNA-directed DNA methylation [PDF]
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2011 DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism for silencing transposons and other repetitive elements, and for stable repression of specific transgenes and endogenous genes. Plants can utilize small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to guide de novo DNA methyltransferases for the establishment of sequence-specific DNA methylation.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 RNA methylation is considered a significant epigenetic modification, a process that does not alter gene sequence but may play a necessary role in multiple biological processes, such as gene expression, genome editing, and cellular differentiation.

The RNAs of RNA-directed DNA methylation [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Regulatory Mechanisms, 2017 RNA-directed chromatin modification that includes cytosine methylation silences transposable elements in both plants and mammals, contributing to genome defense and stability. In Arabidopsis thaliana, most RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is guided by small RNAs derived from double-stranded precursors synthesized at cytosine-methylated loci by ...

PLOS Genetics, 2020 RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is a biological process in which non-coding RNA molecules direct the addition of DNA methylation to specific DNA sequences. The RdDM pathway is unique to plants, although other mechanisms of RNA-directed chromatin modification have also been described in fungi and animals.

RNA methylation and cancer treatment
Pharmacological Research, 2021 To this date, over 100 different types of RNA modification have been identified. Methylation of different RNA species has emerged as a critical regulator of transcript expression. RNA methylation and its related downstream signaling pathways are involved in plethora biological processes, including cell differentiation, sex determination and stress ...

Dynamic regulation and key roles of ribonucleic acid methylation
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022 Ribonucleic acid (RNA) methylation is the most abundant modification in biological systems, accounting for 60% of all RNA modifications, and affects multiple aspects of RNA (including mRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, microRNAs, and long non-coding RNAs ...

Revisiting RNA-directed DNA methylation [PDF]
RNA Biology, 2013 RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) involves sequence-specific guiding of the de novo methylation machinery to complementary genomic DNA by RNA molecules. It is still elusive whether guide RNAs bind directly to DNA or to nascent transcripts produced from it. Even the nature of the guide RNAs is not elucidated. RNA interference (RNAi) studies provided a

Journal of General Virology, 2014 The 5′ end of eukaryotic mRNA contains the type-1 (m7GpppNm) or type-2 (m7GpppNmNm) cap structure. Many viruses have evolved various mechanisms to develop their own capping enzymes (e.g. flavivirus and coronavirus) or to ‘steal’ caps from host mRNAs (e.g. influenza virus).
