-methyladenosine (mA) is a dynamic posttranscriptional RNA modification that plays an important role in determining transcript fate. The functional consequence of mA deposition is dictated by a group of host proteins that specifically recognize and bind the mA modification, leading to changes in RNA stability, transport, splicing, or translation. The cellular mA methylome undergoes changes during certain pathogenic conditions such as viral infections.
