An oncopeptide regulates m6A recognition by the m6A reader IGF2BP1 and tumorigenesis
Abstract
The involvement of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in the regulation of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of RNA is unclear. Here, the authors show that LINC00266-1 encodes a peptide that binds to m6A reader, IGF2BP1 to enhance the recognition of m6A modified RNA transcripts and increase their stability.
