2'- O -Methylation (Nm) in RNA: Progress, Challenges, and Future Directions.
RNA 2024 March 27
RNA 2'-O-methylation (Nm) is highly abundant in noncoding RNAs including ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and small nuclear RNA (snRNA), and occurs in the 5' cap of virtually all messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in higher eukaryotes. More recently, Nm has also been reported to occur at internal sites in mRNA. High-throughput methods have been developed for the transcriptome-wide detection of Nm. However, these methods have mostly been applied to abundant RNAs such as rRNA, and the validity of the internal mRNA Nm sites detected with these approaches remains controversial. Nonetheless, Nm in both coding and noncoding RNAs have been demonstrated to impact cellular processes including translation and splicing. In addition, Nm modifications at the 5' cap and possibly at internal sites in mRNA serve to prevent the binding of nucleic acid sensors, thus preventing the activation of the innate immune response by self mRNAs. Finally, Nm has been implicated in a variety of diseases including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurologic syndromes. In this review, we discuss current challenges in determining the distribution, regulation, function, and disease relevance of Nm, as well as potential future directions for the field.
