Background
NSUN2 is an 86 kDa member of the NSUN family that is predominantly localized to the nucleus and methylates a variety of tRNAs and other RNA substrates (3). NSUN2 has been found to play a role in the methylation of pre-tRNALeu, tRNAGly, tRNAVal, tRNALeu, and tRNAAsp (1,4,5). It has also been found to methylate mRNAs and several ncRNAs, such as vtRNAs (6-8). Elevated NSUN2 protein levels have been reported in multiple types of human cancers, including breast, prostate, kidney, bladder, and liver, among others (9). The methyltransferase activity of NSUN2 is reduced upon Aurora B kinase-mediated phosphorylation at Ser139 (10), and there is potential for NSUN2 to be used as a therapeutic target or diagnostic marker for Aurora B linked cancers (9).
