The reversible processes of methylation and demethylation of m6A modification. METTL3, METTL 4 and WTAP act as methylases to transfer the methyl-group onto the sixth carbon atom of substrate mRNA from the reactive methyl compound SAM. The demethylase FTO and ALKBH5 erase the m6A modification from the methylated mRNA strand.
