The methods of synthesis of the derivatives of nucleoside analogues esterified with various aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic acids and the construction from them of molecular transport systems that involve lipids, carbohydrates, peptides, and amino acids are discussed. The characteristics of the biological activity of a number of such systems are described.

The C-terminal structure of the N6-methyladenosine deaminase YerA and its role in deamination.
Biochem J

The Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China.
The N6-methyladenine (6mA) modification is an essential epigenetic marker and plays a crucial role in processes, such as DNA repair, replication, gene expression regulation, etc. YerA from Bacillus subtilis is considered a novel class of enzymes capable of catalyzing the deamination of 6mA to produce hypoxanthine. Despite the significance of this type of enzymes in bacterial self-defense systems and potential applications as a gene-editing tool, the substrate specificity, the catalytic mechanism and the physiological function of YerA are currently unclear due to the lack of structural information.

This paper describes a method for determining the cytotoxicity of chemical compounds based on the detection of fluorescent proteins-in this case, green fluorescent protein (GFP) and red fluorescent protein (RFP), which are released into the medium from dead cells. This method is similar in principle to the lactate dehydrogenase test (LDH test), but it does not require a reaction with a chromogenic substrate. This method also makes it possible to independently determine the viability of different lines when used in cocultures.

RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays diverse roles in RNA metabolism and its deregulation contributes to tumor initiation and progression. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by near ubiquitous loss of followed by mutations in epigenetic regulators , , and . Mutations in , a histone H3 lysine 36 trimethylase (H3K36me3), are associated with reduced survival, greater metastatic propensity, and metabolic reprogramming.

Activation of CD8+ T cells necessitates rapid metabolic reprogramming to fulfill the substantial biosynthetic demands of effector functions. However, the posttranscriptional mechanisms underpinning this process remain obscure. The transfer RNA (tRNA) N1-methyladenine (m1A) modification, essential for tRNA stability and protein translation, has an undefined physiological function in CD8+ T cells, particularly in antitumor responses.

Exactly two decades ago, the ability to use high-throughput RNA sequencing technology to identify sites of editing by ADARs was employed for the first time. Since that time, RNA sequencing has become a standard tool for researchers studying RNA biology and led to the discovery of RNA editing sites present in a multitude of organisms, across tissue types, and in disease. However, transcriptome-wide sequencing is not without limitations.
