    text
  • METTL3/METTL14 is found in the nucleus where it is localized to nuclear speckles and the splicing regulator WTAP is required for this distinct nuclear localization pattern
  • basic FUNCTION
  • methyltransferase activity
  • METTL3 is the catalytically active subunit, while METTL14 plays a structural role critical for substrate recognition
  • METTL3 is the catalytic subunit of the complex, whereas METTL14 has a degenerate active site and plays non-catalytic roles in maintaining complex integrity and substrate RNA binding
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism nucleic
    signaling
    nucleobase, nucleoside, nucleotide and nucleic acid metabolism
    a component
  • RNA methyltransferase complex of WTAP, METTL3, and METTL14 regulates mitotic clonal expansion in adipogenesis
  • trimer N-6-methyltransferase METTL3-METTL14-WTAP complex is linked to such critical biological processes as cell differentiation, proliferation, and death
  • METTL3-METTL14 complex mediates mammalian nuclear RNA N6-adenosine methylation
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • WTAP interacts with METTL3 and METTL14, and is required for their localization into nuclear speckles enriched with pre-mRNA processing factors and for catalytic activity of the m6A methyltransferase
  • acute METTL14 deficiency in beta-cells induces glucose intolerance by increasing the ERN1/XBP1 pathway
  • mechanistically, METTL14 exerts its oncogenic role by regulating its mRNA targets (e.g., MYB and MYC) through N6-methyladenosine (m6A)modification, while the protein itself is negatively regulated by SPI1
  • YAP1 is a direct target of METTL14 in acute kidney injury (AKI) progression
