    N1-methylation of adenosine (m1A) in ND5 mRNA leads to complex I dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease

    One mechanism of particular interest to regulate mRNA fate post-transcriptionally is mRNA modification. Especially the extent of m1A mRNA methylation is highly discussed due to methodological differences. However...

    Quantitative analysis of tRNA abundance and modifications by nanopore RNA sequencing

    Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) play a central role in protein translation. Studying them has been difficult in part because a simple method to simultaneously quantify their abundance and chemical modifications is lacki...

    FTO-mediated cytoplasmic m6Am demethylation adjusts stem-like properties in colorectal cancer cell

    Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small but critical cell population for cancer biology since they display inherent resistance to standard therapies and give rise to metastases. Despite accruing evidence establis...

    Cell culture NAIL-MS allows insight into human tRNA and rRNA modification dynamics in vivo

    Recently, studies about RNA modification dynamics in human RNAs are among the most controversially discussed. As a main reason, we identified the unavailability of a technique which allows the investigation of...

    2,6-Diaminopurine as a highly potent corrector of UGA nonsense mutations

    Nonsense mutations cause about 10% of genetic disease cases, and no treatments are available. Nonsense mutations can be corrected by molecules with nonsense mutation readthrough activity. An extract of the mus...

    Limited antibody specificity compromises epitranscriptomic analyses

    A controversial discussion on the occurrence of the RNA modification m1A in mRNA takes a new turn, as an antibody with a central role in modification map** was shown to also bind mRNA cap structures.

    FTSJ3 is an RNA 2′-O-methyltransferase recruited by HIV to avoid innate immune sensing

    In mammals, 2′-O-methylation of RNA is a molecular signature by which the cellular innate immune system distinguishes endogenous from exogenous messenger RNA13. However, the molecular functions of RNA 2′-O-methy...

    A PRDX1 mutant allele causes a MMACHC secondary epimutation in cblC patients

    To date, epimutations reported in man have been somatic and erased in germlines. Here, we identify a cause of the autosomal recessive cblC class of inborn errors of vitamin B12 metabolism that we name “epi-cblC”....
