Structural insights into the RNA methyltransferase domain of METTL16

Abstract N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) is an abundant modification in messenger RNA and noncoding RNAs that affects RNA metabolism. Methyltransferase-like protein 16 (METTL16) is a recently confirmed m6A RNA methyltransferase that methylates U6 spliceosomal RNA and interacts with the 3′-terminal RNA tri...
