Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal RNA modification in eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs), regulating gene expression at the transcription and post-transcription levels. Complex interplay between m6A and other well-studied epigenetic modifications, including histone modifications and DNA modification, has been extensively reported in recent years. The crosstalk between RNA m6A modification and histone/DNA modifications plays a critical role in establishing the chromatin state for the precise and specific fine-tuning of gene expression and undoubtedly has profound impacts on both physiological and pathological processes. In this review, we discuss the crosstalk between RNA m6A modification and histone/DNA modifications, emphasizing their sophisticated communications and the mechanisms underlying to gain a comprehensive view of the biological relevance of m6A-based epigenetic network.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Genetics and Development aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas. It contains polished, concise and timely reviews and opinions, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion of the topics discussed.
In Current Opinion in Genetics and Development we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:
1. The views of experts on current advances in their field in a clear and readable form.
2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.[...]
The subject of Genetics and Development is divided into six themed sections, each of which is reviewed once a year:
• Cancer Genomics
• Genome Architecture and Expression
• Molecular and genetic basis of disease
• Developmental mechanisms, patterning and evolution
• Cell reprogramming, regeneration and repair
• Genetics of Human Origin / Evolutionary genetics (alternate years)
