    Background

    METTL16 is an N6-adenosine methyltransferase responsible for the regulation of the MAT2A gene, which encodes S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) synthase. Upon SAM depletion, MAT2A expression increases due to a splicing event of a retained intron. Alternative splicing and mRNA stability is governed by adenosine methylation in the 3’ UTR of the MAT2A mRNA by METTL16. These marks are then read by YTHDC1, and knockdown of either METTL16 or YTHDC1 results in decreased response to lack of SAM (1,2). The METTL16 methyltransferase domain differs from METTL3 and METTL14 as it contains an extra N-terminal module, suggesting a different set of target mRNAs (3,4). Lack of METTL16 during development has been shown to be embryonically lethal, resulting in a dysregulated transcriptome that cannot proceed past the 64-cell blastocyst stage (3).
