m6Am RNA modification detection by m6Am-seq

Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Reversible and dynamic RNA modifications play important roles in fine-tuning gene expression. N6, 2'-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am), a terminal modification at mRNA cap, mediates various biological effects. However, limitations of the current m6Am detection methods lead to a lack of potential applications. Here, we describe a specific and sensitive method, termed m6Am-seq, that can detect m6Am at single-base resolution. m6Am-seq is based on optimized in-vitro demethylation assay and RNA immunoprecipitation, which can distinguish m6Am from 5'-UTR m6A. We provide a step by step protocol to perform m6Am-seq, including experimental procedures and sequencing data analysis. Collectively, we describe m6Am-seq, a robust tool to reveal both m6Am and 5'-UTR m6A methylome, enabling further functional and mechanistic study of m6Am modification.
