Crosstalk Relationship m6A  →  DNA methylation Enhancement
Crosstalk Mechanism m6A modification directly impacts DNA methylation through recruiting DNA methyltransferases or demethylases.
Crosstalk Summary METTL3-METTL14 recruits the DNA methyltransferase DNMT1 to chromatin for gene-body methylation including Notch2, DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), Insr and Smad3, whose expression is fine-tuned by both gene-body 5mC, which promotes transcription, and m6A, which destabilizes transcripts. We demonstrate that METTL3-METTL14-dependent 5mC and m6A are both essential for the differentiation of embryonic stem cells into embryoid bodies and that the upregulation of key differentiation genes during early differentiation depends on the dynamic balance between increased 5mC and decreased m6A.
