Abstract:
N 6-methyladenosine (m 6A) modification is the most prevalent internal modification of eukaryotic mRNA and is dynamically regulated by a variety of m 6A modifying enzymes, including methylation transferases, demethylases and specific binding proteins. Respiratory viral infections have received much attention in recent years, and the process of virus replication and metabolism in host cells is regulated by m 6A. This article reviews the mechanism of m 6A-regulated enzymes, the roles of m 6A modifications in respiratory viruses replication and the host immune response to viruses, including adenovirus, influenza A virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, respiratory syncytial virus, and human metapneumovirus. It would provide a reference for exploring the regulatory role of viral episodic transcriptome modifications and antiviral targets or vaccine development.
