Summary
NSUN2 (NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase 2, HGNC:25994) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5p15.31, encoding RNA cytosine C(5)-methyltransferase NSUN2 (Q08J23). RNA cytosine C(5)-methyltransferase that methylates cytosine to 5-methylcytosine (m5C) in various RNAs, such as tRNAs, mRNAs and some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs).
This gene encodes a methyltransferase that catalyzes the methylation of cytosine to 5-methylcytosine (m5C) at position 34 of intron-containing tRNA(Leu)(CAA) precursors. This modification is necessary to stabilize the anticodon-codon pairing and correctly translate the mRNA. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.

Function. RNA cytosine C(5)-methyltransferase that methylates cytosine to 5-methylcytosine (m5C) in various RNAs, such as tRNAs, mRNAs and some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Involved in various processes, such as epidermal stem cell differentiation, testis differentiation and maternal to zygotic transition during early development: acts by increasing protein synthesis; cytosine C(5)-methylation promoting tRNA stability and preventing mRNA decay. Methylates cytosine to 5-methylcytosine (m5C) at positions 34 and 48 of intron-containing tRNA(Leu)(CAA) precursors, and at positions 48, 49 and 50 of tRNA(Gly)(GCC) precursors. tRNA methylation is required generation of RNA fragments derived from tRNAs (tRFs). Also mediates C(5)-methylation of mitochondrial tRNAs. Catalyzes cytosine C(5)-methylation of mRNAs, leading to stabilize them and prevent mRNA decay: mRNA stabilization involves YBX1 that specifically recognizes and binds m5C-modified transcripts. Cytosine C(5)-methylation of mRNAs also regulates mRNA export: methylated transcripts are specifically recognized by THOC4/ALYREF, which mediates mRNA nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling. Also mediates cytosine C(5)-methylation of non-coding RNAs, such as vault RNAs (vtRNAs), promoting their processing into regulatory small RNAs. Cytosine C(5)-methylation of vtRNA VTRNA1.1 promotes its processing into small-vault RNA4 (svRNA4) and regulates epidermal differentiation. May act downstream of Myc to regulate epidermal cell growth and proliferation. Required for proper spindle assembly and chromosome segregation, independently of its methyltransferase activity.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with NPM1 and NCL during interphase; interaction is disrupted following phosphorylation at Ser-139.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Nucleolus. Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion. Cytoskeleton. Spindle. Secreted. Extracellular exosome.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in adult and fetal brain and in lymphoblastoid cells.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated at Ser-139 by AURKB during mitosis, leading to abolish methyltransferase activity and the interaction with NPM1.
Disease relevance. Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal recessive 5 (MRT5) [MIM:611091] A disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 220 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.

Is drug target: yes
ChEMBL targets (1): CHEMBL4739683 (SINGLE PROTEIN)
Molecules with ChEMBL bioactivity
1 molecules (phase ≥1), by development phase (incl. off-target/promiscuous compounds). Patent mentions across the top 20 by phase: 1,538 (via chembl_molecule»patent_compound — counts attach to the compound, not the gene–compound relationship, so off-target/promiscuous molecules can dominate).

PharmGKB: 1 entry (VIP=true, CPIC=false)
ChEMBL bioactivities
3 potent at pChembl≥5 of 5 total, top 3 by pChembl (potency: 10 = 0.1 nM, 6 = 1 µM).

PubChem BioAssay actives
2 with measured affinity, of 21 total; 2 most potent distinct compounds. Largely complementary to BindingDB; screening values are coarse (µM, 4 dp), so sub-nM hits tie at the floor.
