Abstract:
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common form of internal RNA modification in eukaryotes. The dynamic regulation of m6A modification mainly rely on three proteases, installed by m6A methyltransferase, removed by m6A demethylase and recognized by m6A reader protein, which regulates the metabolism of RNA, thereby regulating the processes of cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis. Recently, a number of studies have found that m6A aberrant methylation in some eye diseases. This review was to summarize the recent research progress on the role of m6A modification in eye diseases and give a perspective on its prospective applications in eye diseases.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
