The role of epitranscriptomic changes in the development of acquired endocrine therapy (ET)- resistance in estrogen receptor α (ER) expressing breast cancer (BC) is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that inhibition of METTL3, the methyltransferase re...
Proteins are the molecular machines of life with numerous applications in energy, health, and sustainability. However, engineering proteins with desired functions for practical applications remains slow, expensive, and specialist-dependent. Here we r...
Protein methyltransferases (PMTs) are a group of enzymes that help catalyze the transfer of a methyl group to its substrates. These enzymes play an important role in epigenetic regulation and can methylate various substrates with DNA, RNA, protein, a...
UNLABELLED: The erythromycin resistance RNA methyltransferase () confers cross-resistance to all therapeutically important macrolides, lincosamides, and streptogramins (MLS phenotype). The expression of is often induced by the macrolide-mediated rib...
BACKGROUND: The O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repairing enzyme that has been established as an essential clinical brain tumor biomarker for Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). Knowing the status of MGMT met...

BACKGROUND: Therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of thiopurine drugs (used as anticancer and immunosuppressant agents) are affected by thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) enzyme activity. genotype and/or phenotype is used to predict the risk for adve...
O⁶-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), a unique DNA repair enzyme, can confer resistance to DNA anticancer alkylating agents that modify the O⁶-position of guanine. Thus, inhibition of MGMT activity in tumors has a great interest for cancer r...
2'-O-methyl group on the 3' terminal nucleotide in plant microRNAs, as one kind of RNA methylations, is caused by HEN1 RNA methyltransferase (HENMT1), which is thought to be crucial for ribosome biogenesis and function. Herein, a simple and label-fre...
