The METTL3 RNA Methyltransferase Regulates Transcriptional Networks in Prostate Cancer (2022)
Journal Article
Haigh, D. B., Woodcock, C. L., Lothion-Roy, J., Harris, A. E., Metzler, V. M., Persson, J. L., …Mongan, N. P. (2022). The METTL3 RNA Methyltransferase Regulates Transcriptional Networks in Prostate Cancer. Cancers, 14(20), Article 5148. https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers14205148

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths and is driven by aberrant androgen receptor (AR) signalling. For this reason, androgen deprivation therapies (ADTs) that suppress androgen-induced PCa progression either by preventing...

CMTr cap-adjacent 2′-O-ribose mRNA methyltransferases are required for reward learning and mRNA localization to synapses (2022)
Journal Article
Haussmann, I. U., Wu, Y., Nallasivan, M. P., Archer, N., Bodi, Z., Hebenstreit, D., …Soller, M. (2022). CMTr cap-adjacent 2′-O-ribose mRNA methyltransferases are required for reward learning and mRNA localization to synapses. Nature Communications, 13(1), Article 1209. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-28549-5

Cap-adjacent nucleotides of animal, protist and viral mRNAs can be O-methylated at the 2`position of the ribose (cOMe). The functions of cOMe in animals, however, remain largely unknown. Here we show that the two cap methyltransferases (CMTr1 and CMT...

Two zinc finger proteins with functions in m6A writing interact with HAKAI (2022)
Journal Article
Zhang, M., Bodi, Z., Mackinnon, K., Zhong, S., Archer, N., Mongan, N. P., …Fray, R. G. (2022). Two zinc finger proteins with functions in m6A writing interact with HAKAI. Nature Communications, 13(1), Article 1127. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-28753-3

The methyltransferase complex (m6A writer), which catalyzes the deposition of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in mRNAs, is highly conserved across most eukaryotic organisms, but its components and interactions between them are still far from fully understoo...
