N methyladenosine (mA) is the most prevalent RNA epigenetic modification, regulated by methyltransferases and demethyltransferases and recognized by methylation-related reading proteins to impact mRNA splicing, translocation, stability, and translation efficiency. It significantly affects a variety of activities, including stem cell maintenance and differentiation, tumor formation, immune regulation, and metabolic disorders. Ubiquitination refers to the specific modification of target proteins by ubiquitin molecule in response to a series of enzymes. E3 ligases connect ubiquitin to target proteins and usually lead to protein degradation. On the contrary, deubiquitination induced by deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) can separate ubiquitin and regulate the stability of protein. Recent studies have emphasized the potential importance of ubiquitination and deubiquitination in controlling the function of mA modification. In this review, we discuss the impact of ubiquitination and deubiquitination on mA functional molecules in diseases, such as metabolism, cellular stress, and tumor growth.
N6-甲基腺苷(m6A)是最普遍的 RNA 表观遗传修饰,受甲基转移酶和去甲基转移酶调控,并被 m6A 相关阅读蛋白识别,从而影响 mRNA 的剪接、易位、稳定性和翻译效率。它显著影响多种活动,包括干细胞维持和分化、肿瘤形成、免疫调节和代谢紊乱。泛素化是指在一系列酶的作用下,泛素分子对靶蛋白的特异性修饰。E3 连接酶将泛素连接到靶蛋白上,通常导致蛋白降解。相反,去泛素化酶(DUBs)诱导的去泛素化可以分离泛素并调节蛋白的稳定性。最近的研究强调了泛素化和去泛素化在控制 m6A 修饰功能分子方面的潜在重要性。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了泛素化和去泛素化对代谢、细胞应激和肿瘤生长等疾病中 m6A 功能分子的影响。
