N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification is a crucial RNA modification widely present in eukaryotic RNA. Previous studies have demonstrated that ac4C plays a pivotal role in viral infections. Despite numerous studies highlighting the strong correlation between ac4C modification and cancer progression, its detailed roles and molecular mechanisms in normal physiological processes and cancer progression remain incompletely understood.

However, the acquisition of oxidative stress in embryo in vitro culture impairs its competence. Here, we demonstrated that a nuclear coding gene, methyltransferase- like protein 7A (METTL7A), improves the developmental potential of bovine embryos.

A unifying spatiotemporal motif might link sensory, central, and motor populations that comprise an entire circuit. In the sensorimotor reflex circuit that stabilizes vertebrate gaze, central and motor partners are paired in time (birthdate) and space (dorso-ventral).

The lysine acetyltransferase 6A (KAT6A, MOZ, MYST3) is a member of the MYST family of protein acetyltransferases, which are essential for different biological processes such as craniofacial, embryonic, stem cell development, and hematopoiesis. KAT6A is an oncogene in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and KAT6A overexpression in AML is associated with metastases and poor prognoses. Furthermore, KAT6A mutations play an important role in cancer formation and progression and result in therapeutic resistance in both hematopoietic malignancies and solid tumors.

Sumoylation is a posttranslational modification essential for multiple cellular functions in eukaryotes. ULP-2 is a conserved SUMO protease required for embryonic development in Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we revealed that ULP-2 controls germline development by regulating the PHD-SET domain protein, SET-26.
