m6A in the coding sequence: linking deposition, translation, and decay.
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in mRNA and plays a crucial role in regulating mRNA turnover. This review explores the characteristics of m6A sites in the coding sequence (CDS) and their influence on mRNA decay, with a focus on the newly discovered CDS-m6A decay (CMD) pathway - a translation-dependent mechanism that promotes rapid and efficient degradation. Further, we examine how splicing-associated factors influence m6A deposition and discuss the enrichment of CMD targets in processing bodies (P-bodies). We emphasize the interplay between m6A modification and decay, and propose that targeting the CMD pathway could offer novel therapeutic strategies for diseases such as cancer and metabolic disorders.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1985, Trends in Genetics swiftly established itself as a "must-read" for geneticists, offering concise, accessible articles covering a spectrum of topics from developmental biology to evolution. This reputation endures, making TiG a cherished resource in the genetic research community. While evolving with the field, the journal now embraces new areas like genomics, epigenetics, and computational genetics, alongside its continued coverage of traditional subjects such as transcriptional regulation, population genetics, and chromosome biology.
Despite expanding its scope, the core objective of TiG remains steadfast: to furnish researchers and students with high-quality, innovative reviews, commentaries, and discussions, fostering an appreciation for advances in genetic research. Each issue of TiG presents lively and up-to-date Reviews and Opinions, alongside shorter articles like Science & Society and Spotlight pieces. Invited from leading researchers, Reviews objectively chronicle recent developments, Opinions provide a forum for debate and hypothesis, and shorter articles explore the intersection of genetics with science and policy, as well as emerging ideas in the field. All articles undergo rigorous peer-review.
