Function

MTA70_HUMAN N6-methyltransferase that methylates adenosine residues of some RNAs and acts as a regulator of the circadian clock, differentiation of embryonic stem cells and primary miRNA processing. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which takes place at the 5'-[AG]GAC-3' consensus sites of some mRNAs, plays a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing, processing, translation efficiency, editing and mRNA stability (PubMed:22575960, PubMed:24284625, PubMed:25719671, PubMed:25799998, PubMed:26321680, PubMed:26593424, PubMed:9409616). M6A regulates the length of the circadian clock: acts as a early pace-setter in the circadian loop by putting mRNA production on a fast-track for facilitating nuclear processing, thereby providing an early point of control in setting the dynamics of the feedback loop (By similarity). M6A also acts as a regulator of mRNA stability: in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), m6A methylation of mRNAs encoding key naive pluripotency-promoting transcripts results in transcript destabilization, promoting differentiation of ESCs (By similarity). M6A also takes place in other RNA molecules, such as primary miRNA (pri-miRNAs) (PubMed:25799998). Mediates methylation of pri-miRNAs, marking them for recognition and processing by DGCR8 (PubMed:25799998).[UniProtKB:Q8C3P7]^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] ^[6] ^[7]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

N(6)-methyladenosine (m(6)A) is the most frequent of the 160 RNA modifications reported so far. Accumulating evidence suggests that the METTL3/METTL14 protein complex, part of the m(6)A regulation machinery, is a key player in a variety of diseases including several types of cancer, type 2 diabetes, and viral infections. Here we report on a protein crystallography-based medicinal chemistry optimization of a METTL3 hit compound that has resulted in a 1400-fold potency improvement (IC(50) of 5 nM for the lead compound 22 (UZH2) in a time-resolved Forster resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) assay). The series has favorable ADME properties as physicochemical characteristics were taken into account during hit optimization. UZH2 shows target engagement in cells and is able to reduce the m(6)A/A level of polyadenylated RNA in MOLM-13 (acute myeloid leukemia) and PC-3 (prostate cancer) cell lines.
