Function

MET14_HUMAN N6-methyltransferase that methylates adenosine residues of some mRNAs and acts as a regulator of the circadian clock and differentiation of embryonic stem cells. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which takes place at the 5'-[AG]GAC-3' consensus sites of some mRNAs, plays a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing, processing and mRNA stability (PubMed:24316715, PubMed:24407421, PubMed:25719671). M6A regulates the length of the circadian clock: acts as a early pace-setter in the circadian loop. M6A also acts as a regulator of mRNA stability: in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), m6A methylation of mRNAs encoding key naive pluripotency-promoting transcripts results in transcript destabilization (By similarity).[UniProtKB:Q3UIK4]^[1] ^[2] ^[3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

N(6)-methyladenosine (m(6)A) is the most frequent of the 160 RNA modifications reported so far. Accumulating evidence suggests that the METTL3/METTL14 protein complex, part of the m(6)A regulation machinery, is a key player in a variety of diseases including several types of cancer, type 2 diabetes, and viral infections. Here we report on a protein crystallography-based medicinal chemistry optimization of a METTL3 hit compound that has resulted in a 1400-fold potency improvement (IC(50) of 5 nM for the lead compound 22 (UZH2) in a time-resolved Forster resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) assay). The series has favorable ADME properties as physicochemical characteristics were taken into account during hit optimization. UZH2 shows target engagement in cells and is able to reduce the m(6)A/A level of polyadenylated RNA in MOLM-13 (acute myeloid leukemia) and PC-3 (prostate cancer) cell lines.
