Mettl5 mediated 18S rRNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification controls stem cell fate determination and neural function
摘要
Abstract
Ribosome RNA (rRNA) accounts for more than 80% of the cell's total RNA
while the physiological functions of rRNA modifications are poorly understood. Mutations of 18S rRNA m

A methyltransferase METTL5 cause intellectual disability
microcephaly
and facial dysmorphisms in patients
however
little is known about the underlying mechanisms. In this study
we identified METTL5 protein complex and revealed that METTL5 mainly interacts with RNA binding proteins and ribosome proteins. Functionally
we found that Mettl5 knockout in mESCs leads to the abnormal craniofacial and nervous development. Moreover
using Mettl5 knockout mouse model
we further demonstrated that Mettl5 knockout mice exhibit intellectual disability
recapitulating the human phenotype. Mechanistically
we found that Mettl5 maintains brain function and intelligence by regulating the myelination process. Our study uncovered the causal correlation between mis-regulated 18S rRNA m
