Abstract

Post-transcriptional chemical modification of RNA is rapidly emerging as a key player in regulating gene expression and has propelled the development of ‘epitranscriptomics’ or ‘RNA epigenetics’ as a frontier area of research. Several RNA modifications are known to decorate RNAs and impact its structure and function. One such recently discovered modification is acetylation of RNA i.e. N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) chemical modification. N4-acetylcytidine is an ancient and evolutionarily conserved modification, which maps to a wide spectrum of RNAs from archaea bacteria to humans. This modification results in a variety of functional outcomes which impact normal development and disease. In this review, we summarize the recent progress, emerging methods, biological implications and the future challenges for ac4C modification.
