Mus musculus | exposure to oxidative stress efficiently repressed NSUN2, causing a reduction of methylation at specific tRNA sites. Nucleophosmin (NPMI) is a marker for nucleolar stress, and a rapid, strong down-regulation of both NPMI and NSUN2 is observed upon arsenite treatment. Additional NSUN family members residing in the mitochondria (NSUN3, NSUN4) and cytoplasm (NSUN6) are similarly repressed in response to arsenite stress | down |

malfunction | exposure to oxidative stress efficiently repressed NSUN2, causing a reduction of methylation at specific tRNA sites. Loss of NSUN2 alters the biogenesis of tRNA-derived noncoding fragments (tRFs) in response to stress, leading to impaired regulation of protein synthesis. The intracellular accumulation of a specific subset of tRFs correlates with the dynamic repression of global protein synthesis | Homo sapiens |
malfunction | exposure to oxidative stress efficiently repressed NSUN2, causing a reduction of methylation at specific tRNA sites. Loss of NSUN2 alters the biogenesis of tRNA-derived noncoding fragments (tRFs) in response to stress, leading to impaired regulation of protein synthesis. The intracellular accumulation of a specific subset of tRFs correlates with the dynamic repression of global protein synthesis. Disruption of the Nsun2 gene in mice causes global hypomethylation of tRNAs and a developmental growth retardation. The abnormal development of tissues including brain and skin is the result of impaired stem cell differentiation. The expression of NSUN2 is highly dynamic within tissues. For instance, NSUN2 is absent in quiescent stem cells in hair follicle bulges (BGs), steadily increases in progenitor cells in the hair germ, and is highest in the growing (anagen) hair bulb | Mus musculus |
metabolism | enzyme NSUN2 plays a central role in regulation of the stress respone pathway, detailed overview. tRNAs play multiple regulatory roles in the adaptation of protein synthesis to the cellular stress response | Homo sapiens |

physiological function | the cytosine-5 RNA methyltransferase NSUN2 is a sensor for external stress stimuli. NSUN2-driven RNA methylation is functionally required to adapt cell cycle progression to the early stress response. The nucleolus, where NSUN2 resides, can act as a stress sensor. Dynamic changes of site-specific Methylcytosine (m5C) levels require NSUN2. m5C is required to balance anabolic and catabolic pathways during the stress response | Mus musculus |
