Status

Functioni

RNA N6-methyltransferase that methylates adenosine residues of a subset of RNAs and plays a key role in S-adenosyl-L-methionine homeostasis by regulating expression of MAT2A transcripts (PubMed:28525753). Able to N6-methylate a subset of mRNAs and U6 small nuclear RNAs (U6 snRNAs) (PubMed:28525753). In contrast to the METTL3-METTL14 heterodimer, only able to methylate a limited number of RNAs: requires both a 5'UACAGAGAA-3' nonamer sequence and a specific RNA structure (PubMed:28525753). In presence of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, binds the 3'-UTR region of MAT2A mRNA and specifically N6-methylates the first hairpin of MAT2A mRNA, impairing MAT2A expression (PubMed:28525753). In S-adenosyl-L-methionine-limiting conditions, binds the 3'-UTR region of MAT2A mRNA but stalls due to the lack of a methyl donor, preventing N6-methylation and promoting expression of MAT2A (PubMed:28525753). In addition to mRNAs, also able to mediate N6-methylation of U6 small nuclear RNA (U6 snRNA): specifically N6-methylates adenine in position 43 of U6 snRNAs (PubMed:28525753, PubMed:29051200). Also able to bind various lncRNAs (PubMed:29051200). Specifically binds the 3'-end of the MALAT1 long non-coding RNA (PubMed:27872311).3 Publications

Caution

Consequences of N6-methylation of MAT2A are subject to discussion. According to a report, N6-methylation of MAT2A affects MAT2A mRNA splicing: in presence of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, METTL16 binds the 3'-UTR region of MAT2A mRNA and specifically N6-methylates the first hairpin of MAT2A mRNA, leading to intron retention and preventing MAT2A mRNA splicing (PubMed:28525753). In S-adenosyl-L-methionine-limiting conditions, METTL16 binds the 3'-UTR region of MAT2A mRNA but stalls due to the lack of a methyl donor, leading to stimulate splicing of the MAT2A retained intron, and promoting expression of MAT2A (PubMed:28525753). According to a second report, N6-methylation of MAT2A affects MAT2A mRNA stability instead: in presence of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, METTL16 N6-methylates MAT2A mRNA, leading to destabilization and subsequent degradation of MAT2A mRNA. Under low S-adenosyl-L-methionine-limiting condition MAT2A mRNA is not methylated, stabilizing it.By similarity1 Publication
