Methylation of RNA N(6)-methyladenosine has fundamental cellular functions, including translation regulation, RNA export, and stem cells renewal. However, the regulation of RNA N(6)-methyladenosine methylation is poorly understood. Here, we observed a robust circadian rhythm in N(6)-methyladenosine modifications of RNA. Deficiency of core mammalian clock genes, cryptochromes, decreased the levels of N(6)-methyladenosine in RNA. Cryptochrome1/2 knockout mice had significantly lower N(6)-methyladenosine methylation of RNA and lost the circadian rhythm of N(6)-methyladenosine levels in RNA. Global analysis of the circadian methylomes of N(6)-methyladenosine in RNA revealed that gene transcription, translation regulation, and RNA metabolism were highly correlated with N(6)-methyladenosine oscillation. Our findings extended a fundamental link between the circadian rhythm and N(6)-methyladenosine modification of RNA and suggested that this link is critical in controlling post-transcriptional gene expression and RNA metabolism.

D008745 Methylation Addition of methyl groups. In histo-chemistry methylation is used to esterify carboxyl groups and remove sulfate groups by treating tissue sections with hot methanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid. (From Stedman, 25th ed) Methylations
D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D004622 Embryo, Mammalian The entity of a developing mammal (MAMMALS), generally from the cleavage of a ZYGOTE to the end of embryonic differentiation of basic structures. For the human embryo, this represents the first two months of intrauterine development preceding the stages of the FETUS.

D005786 Gene Expression Regulation Any of the processes by which nuclear, cytoplasmic, or intercellular factors influence the differential control (induction or repression) of gene action at the level of transcription or translation. Gene Action Regulation,Regulation of Gene Expression,Expression Regulation, Gene,Regulation, Gene Action,Regulation, Gene Expression
D000241 Adenosine A nucleoside that is composed of ADENINE and D-RIBOSE. Adenosine or adenosine derivatives play many important biological roles in addition to being components of DNA and RNA. Adenosine itself is a neurotransmitter. Adenocard,Adenoscan
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012313 RNA A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.
