RNA-Binding Peptide Influences Epitranscriptomic Regulation by Preferentially Binding to Unmodified RNAs Targeted by NSUN2
5-Methylcytosine (m5C) is a widespread mRNA modification that regulates gene expression and is frequently dysregulated in cancer. Here, we used phage display to identify peptides that bind an NSUN2 consensus RNA sequence in either its unmodified (UN2-RNA) or m5C-modified (MN2-RNA) form. A single peptide, un2p1 (TDYSTHR...
