Abstract

N 6 -methyladenosine (m 6 A) is the most abundant internal modification of mRNAs and is implicated in all aspects of post-transcriptional RNA metabolism. However, little is known about m 6 A modifications to circular (circ) RNAs. We developed a computational pipeline (AutoCirc) that, together with depletion of ribosomal RNA and m 6 A immunoprecipitation, defined thousands of m 6 A circRNAs with cell-type-specific expression. The presence of m 6 A circRNAs is corroborated by interaction between circRNAs and YTHDF1/YTHDF2, proteins that read m 6 A sites in mRNAs, and by reduced m 6 A levels upon depletion of METTL3, the m 6 A writer. Despite sharing m 6 A readers and writers, m 6 A circRNAs are frequently derived from exons that are not methylated in mRNAs, whereas mRNAs that are methylated on the same exons that compose m 6 A circRNAs exhibit less stability in a process regulated by YTHDF2. These results expand our understanding of the breadth of m 6 A modifications and uncover regulation of circRNAs through m 6 A modification.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
