The RNA Methyltransferase METTL3 Promotes Oncogene Translation
... The METTL3 RNA methyltransferase is a “writer” protein responsible for the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, and is involved in mRNA biogenesis, decay, and translation. Although m6A has been implicated in diverse biological processes, its mechanisms of action remain unclear. In emerging models, ...
