CMTR1 is recruited to transcription start sites and has enhanced influence over ribosomal protein and histone genes [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: We investigated the gene-specificity of mRNA cap methyltransferase CMTR1 and its impact in RNA expression. In this RNA-seq experiment, we used siRNA to knockdown the endogenous CMTR1 protein to investigate its role in mouse embryonic stem cells. We demonstrated that the repression of CMTR1 expression resulted in a loss of RNA expression, particularly of histone and ribosomal protein genes.
