Three distinct 3-methylcytidine (m3C) methyltransferases modify tRNA and mRNA in mice and humans by Xu, Luang, Liu, Xinyu, Sheng, Na, Oo, Kyaw Soe, Liang, Junxin, Chionh, Yok Hian, Xu, Juan, Ye, Fuzhou, Gao, Yong-Gui, Dedon, Peter C., Fu, Xin-Yuan

“…METTL8, however, modified only mRNA, as determined by biochemical and genetic analyses in Mettl8 null-mutant mice and two human METTL8 mutant cell lines. Our findings provide the first evidence of the existence of m3C modification in mRNA, and the discovery of METTL8 as an mRNA m3C writer enzyme opens the door to future studies of other m3C epitranscriptomic reader and eraser functions.…”
