Chemical modifications of RNA provide an additional, epitranscriptomic, level control over cellular functions. N-6-methylated adenosines (m6As) are found in several types RNA, and their amounts regulated by methyltransferases demethylases. One the most important enzymes catalyzing generation m6A on mRNA is trimer N-6-methyltransferase METTL3-14-WTAP complex. Its activity has been linked to such critical biological processes as cell differentiation, proliferation, death.We used silico-based...
