Identification of Mammalian Nuclear RNA N6-Adenosine Methylation Complex 

Dr. Liu Jianzhao, Ph.D. 
The University of Chicago


Introduction

Discovered in the 1970s, m6A is the most prevalent internal modification in polyadenylated mRNAs and long non-coding RNAs in higher eukaryotes. m6A is widely con¬served among eukaryotic species that range from yeast, plants, flies to mammals, as well as among viral RNAs. But, the biological functions of m6A modification are largely unknown mostly because the methyltransferase complex itself remains a mystery. In this talk, I will introduce how the human nuclear RNA m6A methyltransferase core complex was for the first time biochemically identified and characterized. The direct RNA binding sites and target genes of the methyltransferase complex were revealed in a transcriptome-wide manner by high-throughput sequencing methods.
