Increased N6-methyladenosine in Human Sperm RNA as a Risk Factor for Asthenozoospermia
Male infertility is a worldwide medical problem. Asthenozoospermia is a common cause of infertility. Epigenetic modifications of DNA and histones have been shown to influence human infertility, but no research has explored whether N(6)-methyladenosine (m(6)A) level in RNA is associated with asthenozoospermia. Here, we collected a total of 52 semen samples, including 20 asthenozoospermia patient...
متن کاملN6-methyladenosine Modulates Messenger RNA Translation Efficiency
N(6)-methyladenosine (m(6)A) is the most abundant internal modification in mammalian mRNA. This modification is reversible and non-stoichiometric and adds another layer to the dynamic control of mRNA metabolism. The stability of m(6)A-modified mRNA is regulated by an m(6)A reader protein, human YTHDF2, which recognizes m(6)A and reduces the stability of target transcripts. Looking at additional...
متن کاملN6-Methyladenosine in Flaviviridae Viral RNA Genomes Regulates Infection
The RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) post-transcriptionally regulates RNA function. The cellular machinery that controls m6A includes methyltransferases and demethylases that add or remove this modification, as well as m6A-binding YTHDF proteins that promote the translation or degradation of m6A-modified mRNA. We demonstrate that m6A modulates infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV). Depl...
متن کاملN6-methyladenosine-dependent regulation of messenger RNA stability
N-methyladenosine (mA) is themost prevalent internal (non-cap) modificationpresent in themessengerRNAofall higher eukaryotes. Although essential to cell viability and development, the exact role ofmAmodification remains tobedetermined.The recent discovery of twomAdemethylases inmammalian cells highlighted the importance of mA in basic biological functions and disease. Here we show that mA is se...
متن کاملPseudouridine and N6-methyladenosine modifications weaken PUF protein/RNA interactions.
RNA modifications are ubiquitous in biology, with over 100 distinct modifications. While the vast majority were identified and characterized on abundant noncoding RNA such as tRNA and rRNA, the advent of sensitive sequencing-based approaches has led to the discovery of extensive and regulated modification of eukaryotic messenger RNAs as well. The two most abundant mRNA modifications-pseudouridi...
