CMTR1 is recruited to transcription start sites and has enhanced influence over ribosomal protein and histone genes [RNA-seq]
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. Overall design: Sequencing of total RNA from the mouse embryonic stem cells treated with the control scramble siRNA and CMTR1 specific siRNAs for 36 hours.
