Mechanism of Crosstalk between m6A Modification and Epigenetic Regulation
Crosstalk ID
M6ACROT00071
[1], [2]
RNA modification METTL3 METTL3 NSUN6 Methylation : modification sites Direct Enhancement m6A modification CDCA7 CDCA7 METTL3 Methylation : m6A sites
m6A Modification:
m6A Regulator Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) WRITER
m6A Target Cell division cycle-associated protein 7 (CDCA7)
Epigenetic Regulation that have Cross-talk with This m6A Modification:
Epigenetic Regulation Type RNA modification (RNAMod)  >> 5-methylcytidine (m5C)
Epigenetic Regulator tRNA (cytosine(72)-C(5))-methyltransferase NSUN6 (NSUN6) WRITER View Details
Regulated Target Methyltransferase-like protein 3 (METTL3) View Details
Crosstalk Relationship m5C  →  m6A Enhancement
Crosstalk Mechanism RNA modification directly impacts m6A modification through modulating the expression level of m6A regulator
Crosstalk Summary NSUN6 upregulates the expression of oncogenic METTL3 and catalyzes its m5C modification in COAD cells. Overexpression of METTL3 significantly relieved the cell cycle inhibition of COAD caused by NSUN6 deficiency.METTL3 contributes to the malignant progression of COAD cells partly by regulating the stability of Cell division cycle-associated protein 7 (CDCA7) mRNA, providing a promising therapeutic target for COAD treatment
