S-adenosyl-L-methionine + CpG-rich ssRNA (5'-CGCGCGCGCGCG-3') | m5C methylation directly alters the phosphate backbone in CpG RNA duplex, leading to a C3'-endo to C2'-endo sugar pucker switch of the terminal residues under physiologically-relevant conditions. m5C triggers a B-to-Z DNA, but not A-to-Z, transformation in CpG DNA duplex. The m5C-probe has the sensitivity to detect a single m5C mark change | Homo sapiens | ? | - |

metabolism | m5C methylation of RNA is catalysed by the NOL1/NOP2/Sun domain (NSUN) RNA methyltransferase family, which includes NSUN1-7, as well as the DNA MTase homologue TRDMT1 (formerly DNMT2) | Homo sapiens |
additional information | development of m5C-responsive probes, as a strategy for discriminating RNA and DNA m5C methyltransferase activity in cells (cf. EC 2.1.1.37), i.e. the m5C-switchable probe strategy, method development and evaluation, overview. The m5C-probe contains a 5'-terminal fluorescent nucleotide PC (2'-O-methyl 6-phenylpyrrolocytidine), which lights up spontaneously in response to m5C-induced terminal sugar pucker switch. When the probe is unmethylated, pC is able to base-pair with guanine in the complementary strand and stack strongly with its adjacent base. This results in efficient quenching of pC fluorescence through photoinduced electron transfer. m5C methylation of the probe by RNA:m5C MTase (e.g. NSUN2), however, is expected to trigger a C2'-endo to C3'-endo sugar pucker switch in PC and, since the sugar ring pucker defines the glycosidic bond angle, such a change in sugar puckering will also convert the orientation of PC base from axial to equatorial. This, in turn, disrupts its base-pairing and base-stacking interactions, leading to fluorescence activation. Schematic representation of 2'-OMe RNA probes and their methylated counterparts. The composition of the probes is confirmed through MALDI-TOF mass spectrometric analysis | Homo sapiens |
