Abstract excerpt
Chemical modification of RNAs is important for posttranscriptional gene regulation. The METTL3-METTL14 complex generates most N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications in messenger RNAs (mRNAs), and dysregulated methyltransferase expression has been linked to cancers. Here we show that a changed sequence context for m6A can promote oncogenesis. A gain-of-function missense mutation from patients with cancer,...
