RNA methylation plays a significant regulatory role in various of physiological activities and it has gradually become a hotspot of epigenetics in the past decade. 2′-O-methyladenosine (Am), 2′-O-methylguanosine (Gm),2′-O-methylcytidine (Cm),2′-O-methyluridine (Um),N 6-methyladenosine (m6A), N 1-methylguanosine (m1G),5-methylcytidine (m5C),and 5-methyluridine (m5U) are representative 2′-O-methylation and base-methylation modified epigenetic marks of RNA. 2′-O-methyltransferase is a modified nucleoside that is produced in tRNAs by the action of tRNA guanosine-2′-O-methyltransferase, using S-adenosyl-L-methionine as a substrate. Through its interaction with other modified nucleosides, 2′-O-methylguanosine is thought to stabilize the structure of the tRNA.
