Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project aimed to identify novel RNA modifications as functional elements of RNA molecules. We identified a cap-specific novel m6A writer for mRNA, and an RNA acetyltransferase using an acetate ion as a substrate. We studied CO2-sensitive tRNA modification and its association with Warburg effect, and found dynamic regulation of tRNA modification by sensing cellular metabolic status. In addition, we reported pre-tRNA capping, several novel RNA modifications and growth phase-dependent alteration of tRNA modification. We elucidated biogenesis of 5-formylcytidine in human mitochondrial tRNA.
