The Role of m6A Ribonucleic Acid Modification in the Occurrence of Atherosclerosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most abundant epitranscriptomic modification in eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA). The m6A modification process is jointly regulated by various enzymes and proteins, such as methyltransferases, demethylases ...

RNA Modification in Cancer

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2020
N6‐methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal modification in eukaryotic mRNAs, has been shown to play essential roles in various normal bioprocesses. We show recently that histone H3 trimethylation at Lys36 (H3K36me3) guided m6A deposition co‐transcriptionally.

Trisomy 21 alters DNA methylation in parent-of-origin-dependent and independent manners [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The supernumerary chromosome 21 in Down syndrome differentially affects the methylation statuses at CpG dinucleotide sites and creates genome-wide transcriptional dysregulation of parental alleles, ultimately causing diverse pathologies.

Advances in RNA cytosine-5 methylation: detection, regulatory mechanisms, biological functions and links to cancer

open access: yesBiomarker Research, 2020
As an important posttranscriptional modification of RNA, 5-methylcytosine (m5C) has attracted increasing interest recently, with accumulating evidence suggesting the involvement of RNA m5C modification in multiple cellular processes as well as ...

The immunological interface: dendritic cells as key regulators in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

Natural antisense transcripts with coding capacity in Arabidopsis may have a regulatory role that is not linked to double-stranded RNA degradation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
BACKGROUND: Overlapping transcripts in antisense orientation have the potential to form double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), a substrate for a number of different RNA-modification pathways.

The landscape of m1A modification and its posttranscriptional regulatory functions in primary neurons

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Cerebral ischaemia‒reperfusion injury (IRI), during which neurons undergo oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R), is a notable pathological process in many neurological diseases.

RNA Modifications in Genomic RNA of Influenza A Virus and the Relationship between RNA Modifications and Viral Infection [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Recent studies about the transcriptome-wide presence of RNA modifications have revealed their importance in many cellular functions. Nevertheless, information about RNA modifications in viral RNA is scarce, especially for negative-strand RNA viruses. Here we provide a catalog of RNA modifications including m1A, ac4C, m7G, inosine, and pseudouridine on ...

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

The intracellular domain of TLR2 is capable of high‐affinity Zn binding: possible outcomes for the receptor activation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are important in the innate immune system. This study explores the zinc‐binding ability of the TLR2 TIR domain (TLR2TIR). We found that TLR2TIR binds zinc with nanomolar affinity through its cysteine residues. Two of them, C673 and C713, are vital for receptor activation, indicating that zinc may play a role in initiating ...
