Methylation is an essential epigenetic modification mainly catalysed by S-Adenosyl methionine-dependent methyltransferases (MTases). Several MTases require a cofactor for their metabolic stability and enzymatic activity. TRMT112 is a small evolutionary conserved protein that acts as a co-factor and activator for different MTases involved in rRNA, tRNA and protein methylation. Using a SILAC screen, we pulled down seven methyltransferases-N6AMT1, WBSCR22, METTL5, ALKBH8, THUMPD2, THUMPD3 and TRMT11-as interaction partners of TRMT112. We showed that TRMT112 stabilises all seven MTases in cells. TRMT112 and MTases exhibit a strong mutual feedback loop when expressed together in cells. TRMT112 interacts with its partners in a similar way; however, single amino acid mutations on the surface of TRMT112 reveal several differences as well. In summary, mammalian TRMT112 can be considered as a central "hub" protein that regulates the activity of at least seven methyltransferases.

Article Synopsis
- Mitochondrial RNA modification (MRM) is key in controlling mitochondrial gene expression and may aid in tumor metastasis, but its role in lower grade gliomas (LGGs) is not well-studied.
- Researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing data to explore MRM-related gene distribution and developed a scoring system using specific algorithms to identify significant MRM-related genes across multiple datasets.
- An analysis revealed that certain MRM genes were upregulated or downregulated in LGGs, with implications for prognosis and treatment response, suggesting that MRM influences the microenvironment to support cancer progression.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent psychiatric condition often accompanied by severe impairments in cognitive and functional capacities. This research was conducted to identify RNA modification-related gene signatures and associated functional pathways in MDD. Differentially expressed RNA modification-related genes in MDD were first identified.

Modified nucleotides in non-coding RNAs, such as tRNAs and snRNAs, represent an important layer of gene expression regulation through their ability to fine-tune mRNA maturation and translation. Dysregulation of such modifications and the enzymes installing them have been linked to various human pathologies including neurodevelopmental disorders and cancers. Several methyltransferases (MTases) are regulated allosterically by human TRMT112 (Trm112 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae), but the interactome of this regulator and targets of its interacting MTases remain incompletely characterized.

Biogenesis of the small ribosomal subunit in eukaryotes starts in the nucleolus with the formation of a 90S precursor and ends in the cytoplasm. Here, we elucidate the enigmatic structural transitions of assembly intermediates from human and yeast cells during the nucleoplasmic maturation phase. After dissociation of all 90S factors, the 40S body adopts a close-to-mature conformation, whereas the 3' major domain, later forming the 40S head, remains entirely immature.

Dysregulated epigenetic modifications play a critical role in cancer development where TRMT112 is a member of the transfer RNA (tRNA) methyltransferase family. Till now, no studies have revealed the linkage between TRMT112 expression and diverse types of tumors. Based on TCGA data, we first probed into the relation between TRMT112 and prognosis and the potential role of TRMT112 in tumor microenvironment across 33 types of tumor.
