背景介绍

N6-methylated adenine (m6A) is prevalently present in nearly all RNA types and can be found in all organisms from bacteria to humans. It preferentially appears around stop codons and within long internal exons in mammalian messager RNAs. m6A plays an important role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing, processing, translation efficiency, editing and mRNA stability. m6A also takes place in other RNA molecules, such as primary miRNA (pri-miRNAs). In mammalian cells, METTL3 (methyltransferase-like 3, also known as IME4, M6A, MT-A70) and METTL14 (methyltransferase-like 14) are two m6A methyltransferases reported to date, which both contain methyltransferase domains. These two proteins form a stable heterodimer core complex of METTL3–METTL14 that functions in cellular m6A deposition on mammalian nuclear RNAs. METTL3 is the catalytically active subunit, while METTL14 plays a structural role critical for substrate recognition.

Application Notes

This product was manufactured as described in Protein Details. Where possible, Active Motif has developed functional or activity assays for recombinant proteins. Additional characterization such as enzyme kinetic activity assays, inhibitor screening or other biological activity assays may not have been performed for every product. All available data for a given product is shown on the lot-specific Technical Data Sheet.

Protein Details

Recombinant METTL3 / METTL14 complex that includes full length human METTL3 (accession number NP_062826.2) without tag and full length METTL14 protein (accession number NP_066012.1) with an N-terminal FLAG-Tag was expressed in Sf9 cells. The molecular weights of METTL3 and METTL14 are 64.5 kDa and 53.3 kDa, respectively.

Storage

Recombinant proteins in solution are temperature sensitive and must be stored at -80°C to prevent degradation. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles and keep on ice when not in storage.
