N6-Deoxyadenosine Methylation in Mammalian Mitochondrial DNA

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
It is reported that mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is enriched for 6mA, which is at least 1,300-fold higher than that in gDNA under normal growth conditions, corresponding to approximately four 6mA modifications on each mtDNA molecule.

Mapping the epigenetic modifications of DNA and RNA

TL;DR: Third-generation sequencing methods are summarized, which enable long-read and single-molecule sequencing of DNA and RNA modification and discuss questions to be addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The language of chromatin modification in human cancers.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that miswriting, misreading or mis-erasing of the modification language embedded in chromatin represents a common, sometimes early and pivotal, event across a wide range of human cancers, contributing to oncogenesis through the induction of epigenetic, transcriptomic and phenotypic alterations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extreme heterogeneity of human mitochondrial DNA from organelles to populations.

TL;DR: These findings cast light on the origin and spread of mtDNA mutations at multiple scales, from the organelle to the human population, and challenge the conventional view that high percentages of a mutation are required before a new variant has functional consequences.

Visible-Light-Mediated Modification and Manipulation of Biomacromolecules.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss modifications of native functional groups (FGs), including functionalization, labeling, and cross-linking techniques as well as the utility of oxidative degradation mediated by photochemically generated reactive oxygen species.

Anything but Ordinary - Emerging Splicing Mechanisms in Eukaryotic Gene Regulation.

TL;DR: The current principles of splicing regulation are summarized, including the impact of cis and trans regulatory elements, as well as the influence of chromatin structure, transcription, and RNA modifications.

HISAT: a fast spliced aligner with low memory requirements

TL;DR: Tests showed that HISAT is the fastest system currently available, with equal or better accuracy than any other method, and requires only 4.3 gigabytes of memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

How mitochondria produce reactive oxygen species.

TL;DR: The description outlined here facilitates the understanding of factors that favour mitochondrial ROS production and develops better methods to measure mitochondrial O2•− and H2O2 formation in vivo, as uncertainty about these values hampers studies on the role of mitochondrial ROS in pathological oxidative damage and redox signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perceptions of epigenetics

TL;DR: During the past year, more than 2,500 articles, numerous scientific meetings and a new journal were devoted to the subject of epigenetics, portrayed by the popular press as a revolutionary new science — an antidote to the idea that the authors are hard-wired by their genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution, silencing potential and evolutionary impact of promoter DNA methylation in the human genome.

TL;DR: Results show that promoter sequence and gene function are major predictors of promoter methylation states and that inactive unmethylated CpG island promoters show elevated levels of dimethylation of Lys4 of histone H3, suggesting that this chromatin mark may protect DNA from methylation.

A METTL3-METTL14 complex mediates mammalian nuclear RNA N6-adenosine methylation

TL;DR: It is reported here that human METTL14 catalyzes m6A RNA methylation, and together with METTL3, the only previously known m 6A methyltransferase, these two proteins form a stable heterodimer core complex ofMETTL3-14 that functions in cellular m6 a deposition on mammalian nuclear RNAs.
