m6A methylation orchestrates IMP1 regulation of microtubules during human neuronal differentiation

Publication Date: 6 June 2024

Klein, P. et al. (2024) m6A methylation orchestrates IMP1 regulation of microtubules during human neuronal differentiation. Nat. Commun. 15:49139. DOI:10.1038/s41467-024-49139-7


This study explores how N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation modulates the regulation of microtubules by IMP1 during human neuronal differentiation. Researchers utilized human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and differentiated them into neurons to investigate the dynamic changes in m6A methylation and its impact on microtubule stability. The findings reveal that m6A methylation enhances the binding of IMP1 to microtubule-associated mRNAs, thereby stabilizing microtubules and promoting neuronal differentiation. This study underscores the importance of m6A methylation in neuronal development and its potential implications in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Keywords: m6A methylation, IMP1, microtubules, human neuronal differentiation, hiPSCs, RNA modification, neurodevelopment
