Introduction of 1867-73-8 :
N6-Methyladenosine is the most prevalent internal (non-cap) modification present in the messenger RNA (mRNA) of all higher eukaryotes. N6-Methyladenosine can modifies viral RNAs and has antiviral activities. In Vitro: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is selectively recognized by the human YTH domain family 2 (YTHDF2) protein to regulate mRNA degradation. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), a prevalent internal modification in the messenger RNA of all eukaryotes, is post-transcriptionally installed by m6A methyltransferase (e.g., MT-A70) within the consensus sequence of G(m6A)C (70%) or A(m6A)C (30%). N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-containing RNAs are greatly enriched in the YTHDF-bound portion and diminished in the flow-through portion[1]. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal RNA modification, functions in diverse biological processes, including regulation of embryonic stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a large protein complex, consisting in part of methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) and methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) catalytic subunits[2].
