| Research Abstract |
Non-coding RNAs undergo various posttranscriptional modifications. To investigate the physiological relevance of RNA modifications in autoimmune diseases, we generated artificial anti-RNA antibodies that bind to the epitope for patient autoantibodies and developed a zebrafish model of defective RNA modifications. Impaired RNA modification led to severe morphological defects and embryonic lethality in zebrafish, which suggests that RNA modifications play an important role in vertebrate development.
