Function

RNA N6-methyltransferase that methylates adenosine residues at the N(6) position of a subset of RNAs and is involved in S-adenosyl-L-methionine homeostasis by regulating expression of MAT2A transcripts (PubMed:28525753, PubMed:30197297, PubMed:30197299, PubMed:33428944, PubMed:33930289). Able to N6-methylate a subset of mRNAs and U6 small nuclear RNAs (U6 snRNAs) (PubMed:28525753). In contrast to the METTL3-METTL14 heterodimer, only able to methylate a limited number of RNAs: requires both a 5'UACAGAGAA-3' nonamer sequence and a specific RNA structure (PubMed:28525753, PubMed:30197297, PubMed:30197299). Plays a key role in S-adenosyl-L-methionine homeostasis by mediating N6-methylation of MAT2A mRNAs, altering splicing of MAT2A transcripts: in presence of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, binds the 3'-UTR region of MAT2A mRNA and specifically N6-methylates the first hairpin of MAT2A mRNA, preventing recognition of their 3'-splice site by U2AF1/U2AF35, thereby inhibiting splicing and protein production of S-adenosylmethionine synthase (PubMed:28525753, PubMed:33930289). In S-adenosyl-L-methionine-limiting conditions, binds the 3'-UTR region of MAT2A mRNA but stalls due to the lack of a methyl donor, preventing N6-methylation and promoting expression of MAT2A (PubMed:28525753). In addition to mRNAs, also able to mediate N6-methylation of U6 small nuclear RNA (U6 snRNA): specifically N6-methylates adenine in position 43 of U6 snRNAs (PubMed:28525753, PubMed:29051200, PubMed:32266935). Also able to bind various lncRNAs, such as 7SK snRNA (7SK RNA) or 7SL RNA (PubMed:29051200). Specifically binds the 3'-end of the MALAT1 long non-coding RNA (PubMed:27872311).

Activity summary

METTL16 or Methyltransferase-like protein 16 is a human enzyme known for catalyzing m6A methylation in RNA. The protein has a molecular mass of approximately 60 kDa. METTL16 is expressed in various tissues with higher levels in the liver kidney and brain. It also participates in the splicing and stabilization of RNA influencing gene regulation at the post-transcriptional level.

Biological function summary

METTL16 influences RNA stability and processing. It acts as a component of a larger ribonucleoprotein complex that interacts with a variety of RNA substrates. This protein primarily targets U6 spliceosomal RNA and MAT2A RNA to modulate their function and degradation affecting regulatory feedback mechanisms in cells. By targeting specific RNA molecules METTL16 can modulate cellular response to various stimuli at the RNA level.

Pathways

METTL16 plays an important role in RNA metabolism and gene expression regulation pathways. It cooperates with the S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) pathway which is vital for cellular methylation processes. METTL16 works alongside other m6A writers such as METTL3 and METTL14 to establish particular methylation marks on RNA influencing translation and stability which affects cell cycle regulation and differentiation.

Associated diseases and disorders

METTL16 has implications in cancer and metabolic disorders. Dysregulation of its activity could lead to abnormal m6A methylation patterns contributing to tumorigenesis. Research has linked METTL16 to hepatocellular carcinoma where it interacts with other cancer-related proteins such as c-Myc affecting tumor growth and metabolism. Additionally its role in regulating MAT2A RNA associates it with metabolic anomalies implicating possible connections to diseases such as metabolic syndrome.
