ALKBHs-facilitated RNA modifications and de-modifications [PDF]
DNA Repair, 2016 The AlkB gene that protects E.coli against methylation damage to DNA was identified more than 3 decades ago. 20 years later, the AlkB protein was shown to catalyze repair of methylated DNA base lesions by oxidative demethylation. Two human AlkB homologs were characterized with similar DNA repair activities and seven additional human AlkB homologs were ...

Instrumental analysis of RNA modifications [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2021 Organisms from all domains of life invest a substantial amount of energy for the introduction of RNA modifications into nearly all transcripts studied to date. Instrumental analysis of RNA can focus on the modified residues and reveal the function of these epitranscriptomic marks.

Probing RNA recognition by human ADAR2 using a high-throughput mutagenesis method. [PDF]
, 2016 Adenosine deamination is one of the most prevalent post-transcriptional modifications in mRNA. In humans, ADAR1 and ADAR2 catalyze this modification and their malfunction correlates with disease. Recently our laboratory reported crystal structures of the

The role of RNA modification in hepatocellular carcinoma
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly mortal type of primary liver cancer. Abnormal epigenetic modifications are present in HCC, and RNA modification is dynamic and reversible and is a key post-transcriptional regulator.

Ribose 2′-O-methylation provides a molecular signature for the distinction of self and non-self mRNA dependent on the RNA sensor Mda5 [PDF]
, 2011 The 5'-cap-structures of higher eukaryote mRNAs are ribose 2'-O-methylated. Likewise, a number of viruses replicating in the cytoplasm of eukayotes have evolved 2'-O-methyltransferases to modify autonomously their mRNAs.

Detection technologies for RNA modifications
Experimental & Molecular Medicine, 2022 AbstractTo date, more than 170 chemical modifications have been characterized in RNA, providing a new layer of gene expression regulation termed the ‘epitranscriptome’. RNA modification detection methods and tools advance the functional studies of the epitranscriptome.
