| Description | This family includes ribosomal RNA large subunit methyltransferase F, and related proteins, including methyltransferase-like protein 16 (METTL16). METTL16 is a conserved RNA methyltransferase which interacts specifically with the MALAT1 triple helix. METTL16 shows nuclear localisation [1]. Another functional study indicates that METTL16 regulates expression of human MAT2A, which encodes the SAM synthetase expressed in most cells. Furthermore, results indicate that METTL16 is the long-unknown methyltransferase for the U6 spliceosomal small nuclear RNA (snRNA) and it has evolved an additional function in vertebrates to control SAM homeostasis by post-transcriptionally regulating SAM synthetase gene expression [2]. |
