Knockdown of METTL16 disrupts learning and memory by reducing the stability of MAT2A mRNA

Abstract N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is abundant in the mammalian brain and is considered to have a wide range of effects on learning and memory. Here, we found that the upregulated methyltransferase-like protein 16 (METTL16) in the hippocampal tissues of Morris water maze (MWM)-trained mice contribute...
