Abstract

N6-methyladenosine is a prevalent internal modification in messenger RNA and non-coding RNA affecting various cellular pathways. Here we report the discovery of two additional modifications, N6-hydroxymethyladenosine (hm6A) and N6-formyladenosine (f6A), in mammalian messenger RNA. We show that FeII- and α-ketoglutarate-dependent fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) protein oxidize N6-methyladenosine to generate N6-hydroxymethyladenosine as an intermediate modification, and N6-formyladenosine as a further oxidized product. N6-hydroxymethyladenosine and N6-formyladenosine have half-life times of ~3 h in aqueous solution under physiological relevant conditions, and are present in isolated messenger RNA from human cells as well as mouse tissues. These previously unknown modifications derived from the prevalent N6-methyladenosine in messenger RNA, formed through oxidative RNA demethylation, may dynamically modulate RNA–protein interactions to affect gene expression regulation. Internal modifications in mRNA and non-coding RNA are necessary for modulating various intracellular signalling pathways. In this study, the authors report novel modifications resulting from oxidative RNA demethylation, which regulate RNA–protein interactions affecting gene expression.

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.
