-  Comments and Description Text from UniProtKB
  ID: MTA70_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=N6-adenosine-methyltransferase 70 kDa subunit; Short=MT-A70; EC=2.1.1.62; AltName: Full=Methyltransferase-like protein 3;
FUNCTION: N6-methyltransferase that methylates adenosine residues of some mRNAs. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which is present at internal sites of some mRNAs, may play a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing, transport or translation.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + m(7)G(5')pppAm = S- adenosyl-L-homocysteine + m(7)G(5')pppm(6)Am.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus speckle. Note=Colocalizes with speckles in interphase nuclei. Suggesting that it may be associated with nuclear pre-mRNA splicing components.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed at low level. Expressed in spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon and peripheral blood leukocytes.
PTM: Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MT-A70-like family.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
