摘要

尽管近 75 年前就发现了修饰核酸,但它们的生物学功能仍在不断被阐明。N6 -甲基腺苷(m6 A)是真核生物信使 RNA(mRNA)中最丰富的修饰,在非编码 RNA(包括长非编码 RNA、核糖体 RNA 和小核 RNA)中也被检测到。一般来说,m6 A 标记会改变 RNA 的二级结构,并引发独特的 RNA 蛋白相互作用,从而改变剪接、mRNA 更替和翻译等。虽然早在 1974 年就知道人类 RNA 中存在 m6 A 标记,但负责书写 m6 A 标记的甲基转移酶的结构和功能直到最近才被确定。迄今为止,已证实有四种人类甲基转移酶能催化甲基基团从 S-腺苷蛋氨酸(SAM)转移到腺苷的 N6 位,从而产生 m6 A:甲基转移酶样蛋白(METTL)3/METTL14 复合物、METTL16、METTL5 和含锌指 CCHC 域蛋白 4。尽管这些甲基转移酶具有独特的 RNA 靶标,但所有人类 m6 A RNA 甲基转移酶都包含一个 Rossmann 折叠结构,其中有一个保守的 SAM 结合口袋,这表明它们利用类似的催化机制进行甲基转移。对于每一种人类 m6 A RNA 甲基转移酶,我们都介绍了其生物学功能、与人类疾病的联系、RNA 靶点、催化和动力学机制以及大分子结构。我们还讨论了人类病毒和寄生虫中的 m6 A 标记、将转录组中的 m6 A 标记分配给特定的甲基转移酶、以 m6 A 甲基转移酶为靶标的小分子、负责超修饰 m6 A 标记的酶及其在人类中的生物学功能。了解 m6 A 甲基转移酶是建立 m6 A 表转录组和更广泛的 RN 组的关键一步。本文归类于RNA 与蛋白质及其他分子的相互作用 > 蛋白质与 RNA 的识别 RNA 与蛋白质及其他分子的相互作用 > RNA 蛋白复合物 RNA 与蛋白质及其他分子的相互作用 > 蛋白质与 RNA 的相互作用:功能影响。

Ghost authors revealed: The structure and function of human N6 -methyladenosine RNA methyltransferases.

Despite the discovery of modified nucleic acids nearly 75 years ago, their biological functions are still being elucidated. N6 -methyladenosine (m6 A) is the most abundant modification in eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA) and has also been detected in non-coding RNAs, including long non-coding RNA, ribosomal RNA, and small nuclear RNA. In general, m6 A marks can alter RNA secondary structure and initiate unique RNA-protein interactions that can alter splicing, mRNA turnover, and translation, just to name a few. Although m6 A marks in human RNAs have been known to exist since 1974, the structures and functions of methyltransferases responsible for writing m6 A marks have been established only recently. Thus far, there are four confirmed human methyltransferases that catalyze the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to the N6 position of adenosine, producing m6 A: methyltransferase-like protein (METTL) 3/METTL14 complex, METTL16, METTL5, and zinc-finger CCHC-domain-containing protein 4. Though the methyltransferases have unique RNA targets, all human m6 A RNA methyltransferases contain a Rossmann fold with a conserved SAM-binding pocket, suggesting that they utilize a similar catalytic mechanism for methyl transfer. For each of the human m6 A RNA methyltransferases, we present the biological functions and links to human disease, RNA targets, catalytic and kinetic mechanisms, and macromolecular structures. We also discuss m6 A marks in human viruses and parasites, assigning m6 A marks in the transcriptome to specific methyltransferases, small molecules targeting m6 A methyltransferases, and the enzymes responsible for hypermodified m6 A marks and their biological functions in humans. Understanding m6 A methyltransferases is a critical steppingstone toward establishing the m6 A epitranscriptome and more broadly the RNome. This article is categorized under: RNA Interactions with Proteins and Other Molecules > Protein-RNA Recognition RNA Interactions with Proteins and Other Molecules > RNA-Protein Complexes RNA Interactions with Proteins and Other Molecules > Protein-RNA Interactions: Functional Implications.
