摘要:

N6-甲基腺嘌呤(m6A)是真核生物信使RNA和长非编码RNA最主要的修饰,该修饰过程由m6A甲基转移酶及去甲基化酶动态调控,主要通过m6A识别蛋白发挥作用。m6A修饰可影响转录、剪接、定位、核转运、翻译及降解等RNA代谢的各个方面,其失调可导致RNA功能紊乱,基因表达异常。m6A修饰调节因子在多种肿瘤中表达失衡,与肿瘤的形成、增殖、分化、侵袭和转移相关。

Abstract:

N6-methyladenine (m6A) is the most abundant internal RNA modification found in a variety of eukaryotic messenger RNAs and long non-coding RNAs, which is dynamically regulated by m6A methyltransferases and demethylases, and mainly works after recognized by m6A binding proteins. m6A is involved in almost every step of the RNA life cycle, including RNA transcription, splicing, localization, nuclear transport, translation, and degradation. Disorder of m6A modification can lead to RNA dysfunction and abnormal gene expression. m6A modification regulators express abnormally in various cancers, and play an important role in cancer formation, proliferation, differentiation, invasion and metastasis.
