N6-Adenosine methylation regulates the translation of insulin mRNA
2022-09-20
Abstract excerpt
Relatively little is known about the first step of insulin synthesis: the translation of the mRNA. Here we show that the translation of D. melanogaster insulin 2 mRNA ( dilp2 ) is controlled by methylation of N6-adenosine (m 6 A) in the 3’ UTR. Mutations in the m 6 A writer Mettl3 and methylated-residues in the dilp2 3’UTR decreased the levels of dilp2 mRNA associated with the polysomes, and the total amoun...
