RNA methyltransferase METTL16: Targets and function

RNA methyltransferase METTL16: Targets and function Issue , 2021 2023

METTL16 is an N6-methyladenosine RNA methyltransferase with a variety of targets including the U6 small nuclear RNA, the MALAT1 long noncoding RNA, and the MAT2A messenger RNA. The role of METTL16 in the cell is still being explored as are the functions and importance of its various domains (RBD, N terminal RNA binding domain; VCR, vertebrate conserved region).
