METTL1 Gene

Name methyltransferase like 1
Description This gene is similar in sequence to the S. cerevisiae YDL201w gene. The gene product contains a conserved S-adenosylmethionine-binding motif and is inactivated by phosphorylation. Alternative splice variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nMETTL1 is a conserved RNA methyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modifications on multiple classes of RNAs. Its activity is crucial for installing m7G at internal positions in microRNAs—thereby promoting their maturation and influencing cellular processes such as migration—as well as for marking internal sites of messenger RNAs to modulate translation efficiency. Biochemical and structural studies have further revealed that METTL1, working in a complex with WDR4, utilizes its N-terminal region as a key part of the catalytic pocket—a domain whose activity is finely controlled by post-translational phosphorylation events."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "4"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn cancer, aberrant METTL1 expression and activity underpin a wide spectrum of oncogenic processes. Elevated METTL1 levels have been observed across diverse tumor types—from hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma to lung, osteosarcoma, head and neck, breast cancers, and even ameloblastoma—where METTL1-mediated m7G modifications of tRNAs and mRNAs remodel the cellular translatome. This remodeling preferentially boosts the translation of oncogenic mRNAs, including those involved in cell-cycle regulation, epidermal growth factor receptor signalling, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Consequently, METTL1 overexpression contributes not only to enhanced proliferation, migration, and invasion but also to the development of drug resistance (for instance, to lenvatinib, gefitinib, or anlotinib) and chemoresistance. Moreover, alterations in METTL1 together with other tRNA-modifying enzymes, such as NSUN2, can impact the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents like 5-fluorouracil, further underscoring its potential as a therapeutic target."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "5", "end_ref": "19"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond its well‐established roles in tumor biology, METTL1 is emerging as an important regulator of normal development and cell fate decisions.
