The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification influences various mRNA metabolic events and tumorigenesis, however, its functions in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) whether NMD detects induced carcinogenesis pathways remain undefined. Here, we showed that the m6A methyltransferase METTL3 sustained oncogenic role by modulating of splicing factors alternative isoform switches glioblastoma (GBM). Methylated RNA immunoprecipitation-seq (MeRIP-seq) analyses peaks were enriched at pathway-related...

N6 -methyladenosine (m6 A) modification of mRNA mediates diverse cellular and viral functions. Infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is causally associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), 10% gastric carcinoma, various B-cell lymphomas, in which the latent lytic phases both play vital roles. Here, we show that EBV transcripts exhibit differential m6 A human NPC biopsies, patient-derived xenograft tissues, cells at different infection stages. A-modified are recognized destabilized by YTHDF1...

Abstract N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a reversible and dynamic RNA modification in eukaryotes. However, how cells establish cell-specific m6A methylomes still poorly understood. Here, we developed computational framework to systematically identify trans regulators of through integrating gene expressions, binding targets motifs large number proteins (RBPs) with co-methylation network constructed using large-scale across diverse cell states. We applied the successfully identified 32...

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan that affects most species of endothermic animals including humans with a great infection rate. The vertical transmission T. causes abortion, constituting serious threat to and leading losses in livestock production. Distinct from population structure North America Europe, Chinese 1 (ToxoDB #9) dominant genotype prevalent China. Among the isolates 1, Wh3 Wh6 have different virulence pathogenicity mice. However, little has been known about their...

Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS, OMIM #300322) is a rare X-linked genetic disorder caused by variants in the HPRT1 gene, which codes for Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT). gene disrupt normal purine metabolism, leading to involvement of multiple organ systems, primarily characterized hyperuricemia, dystonia, and neurological abnormalities, makes LNS clinically heterogeneous diagnostically challenging. Here, we report case 27-year-old Chinese male exhibiting severe lower limb...

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) stands as the predominant modification in eukaryotic mRNA and is involved various biological functions. Aberrant m6A has been implicated abnormal cellular phenotypes, including defects stem cell differentiation tumorigenesis. However, precise effects of on proliferation underlining mechanism metabolic gene regulation remain incompletely understood. Here, we established a environment with low-m6A levels observed severe impairment proliferation. Mechanistic studies...

Abstract Deficiency of the N 6 ‐methyladenosine (m A) methyltransferase complex results in global reduction m A abundance and defective cell development embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, it's unclear whether regional methylation affects fate decisions due to inability modulate individual modification ESCs with precise temporal control. Here, a targeted RNA erasure (TRME) system is developed achieve site‐specific demethylation RNAs human (hESCs). TRME, which stably transfected,...

Abstract N 6 -methyladenosine (m A) plays important role in lineage specifications of embryonic stem cells. However, it is still difficult to systematically dissect the specific m A sites that are essential for early differentiation.

Toxoplasma gondii infection evokes a strong Th1-type response with IL-12 and IFN-γ secretion. Recent studies suggest that the of pregnant mice T. may lead to adverse pregnancy results caused by subversion physiological immune tolerance at maternofetal interface rather than direct invasion parasite. Genotype-associated dense granule protein GRA15 II tends induce classically activated macrophage (M1) differentiation subsequently activating NK, Th1 Th17 cells whereas rhoptry ROP16I/III drives...

Abstract Background Canonical nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) is an important splicing-dependent process for mRNA surveillance in mammals. However, processed pseudogenes are not able to trigger NMD due their lack of introns. It largely unknown whether they have evolved other mechanisms. Results Here, we find that the RNAs pseudogenes, especially dramatically higher m 6 A levels than cognate protein-coding genes, associated with de novo peaks and motifs human cells. Furthermore, rapidly...

Toxoplasma gondii is an opportunistic protozoan apicomplexan and obligate intracellular parasite that infects a wide range of animals humans. Rhoptry proteins 5 (ROP5), ROP16, ROP18 dense granules 15 (GRA15) are the important effectors secreted by T. which link to strain virulence for mice modulate host's response parasite. Little has been known about these molecules as well GRA3 in type Chinese 1 strains show polymorphism among archetypical genotypes. This study examined genetic diversity...
