Summary of Seminar:  Gene expression fluctuations are critical for muscle homeostasis and the response to environmental insults. Yet, little is known about post-transcriptional mechanisms regulating such fluctuations while impacting muscle proteome. Genome-wide analysis of mRNA methyladenosine (m6A) revealed the dynamics of this modification during stress (PMIDs: 35013323, 33188779). We demonstrated that METTL3 (the m6A-forming enzyme; PMIDs: … Read more
