Abstract
This review provides a thorough survey of long noncoding RNAs that bear the RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and current work to understand the resulting mechanistic and biological consequences. We give an overview of lncRNA and m6A biology first, describing the writers, erasers, and readers of m6A and their targeting of lncRNAs. Next, we give an in-depth review of the field of nuclear lncRNAs that regulate chromatin and their regulation via m6A. We then describe the growing appreciation of liquid-liquid phase separation properties in lncRNA and m6A biology. Finally, we cover examples of cytoplasmic lncRNAs regulated by m6A. Overall, this review aims to emphasize how epitranscriptomics influences noncoding RNA mechanisms to provide additional layers of regulation, integrated into downstream biological processes.
