ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.346

Accepted Name
U6 snRNA m(6)A methyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
adenosine in U6 snRNA + S-adenosyl-L-methionine <=> H(+) + N(6)-methyladenosine in U6 snRNA + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme, found in vertebrates, methylates a specific adenine in a hairpin structure of snRNA.
  • The effects of the binding of the methyltransferase to its substrate is important for the regulation of the activity of an isoform of EC 2.5.1.6, that produces S-adenosyl-L-methionine.
  • The enzyme also binds (and maybe methylates) the lncRNAs XIST and MALAT1 as well as a number of pre-mRNAs at specific positions often found in the intronic regions.
