Mechanism of Crosstalk between m6A Modification and Epigenetic Regulation
Crosstalk ID
M6ACROT03094
[1]
m6A modification LINE1 LINE1 YTHDC1 : m6A sites Indirect Inhibition Histone modification H3K9me3 SETDB1 Downstream Gene
m6A Modification:
m6A Regulator YTH domain-containing protein 1 (YTHDC1) READER
m6A Target LINE-1 retrotransposable element ORF1 protein (LINE1)
Epigenetic Regulation that have Cross-talk with This m6A Modification:
Epigenetic Regulation Type Histone modification (HistMod)
Epigenetic Regulator Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SETDB1 (SETDB1) WRITER View Details
Regulated Target Histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) View Details
Crosstalk Relationship m6A  →  Histone modification Inhibition
Crosstalk Mechanism m6A modification indirectly regulates histone modification through downstream signaling pathways
Crosstalk Summary YTHDC1 binds to the transcripts of retrotransposons (such as intracisternal A particles, ERVK and LINE-1 retrotransposable element ORF1 protein (LINE1)) in mouse ES cells and its depletion results in the reactivation of these silenced retrotransposons, accompanied by a global decrease in SETDB1-mediated Histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3).
