METTL3
methyltransferase 3, N6-adenosine-methyltransferase complex catalytic subunit | M6A, MT-A70, Spo8

This gene encodes the 70 kDa subunit of MT-A which is part of N6-adenosine-methyltransferase. This enzyme is involved in the posttranscriptional methylation of internal adenosine residues in eukaryotic mRNAs, forming N6-methyladenosine. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

METTL3 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating METTL3 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for METTL3. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = METTL3 upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to METTL3

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of METTL3, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
