Also known as RG7MT1N7-MTase
Summary
RNMT (RNA guanine-7 methyltransferase, HGNC:10075) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 18p11.21, encoding mRNA cap guanine-N(7) methyltransferase (O43148). Catalytic subunit of the mRNA-capping methyltransferase RNMT:RAMAC complex that methylates the N7 position of the added guanosine to the 5’-cap structure of mRNAs. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 96.3% of cancer cell lines).
Enables RNA binding activity and mRNA 5’-cap (guanine-N7-)-methyltransferase activity. Involved in 7-methylguanosine mRNA capping. Located in fibrillar center and nucleoplasm. Part of mRNA cap methyltransferase RNMT:RAMAC complex; mRNA capping enzyme complex; and receptor complex.

- The RNMT N-terminal domain is required for transcript expression, translation and cell proliferation. (PMID:23863084)
- Data suggest the C-terminal nuclear localization domain (QYP) is critical for RAM (RNMT-activating mini protein) to enter the cell nucleus where RAM activates RNMT resulting in mRNA cap methylation. TNPO1/TNPO2 mediate RAM nuclear entry. (PMID:24200467)
- High RNMT expression is associated with liver cancer. (PMID:24763612)
- CDK1-Cyclin B1 activates RNMT, coordinating mRNA cap methylation with G1 phase transcription. (PMID:26942677)
- MYC promotes mRNA cap methylation and protein production of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling transcripts through recruitment of cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) and consequently RNMT to gene promoters. (PMID:27899423)
- RNMT-RAM complex coordinates mRNA processing with ribosome production. (PMID:27934633)
- Results identify a cytoplasmic pool of RNMT which is a component of the cytoplasmic capping complex, and demonstrate its function as the methyltransferase that catalyzes the final maturation step in cap homeostasis. (PMID:28981715)
- These findings suggest that multiple interactions among RNMT-RAM, RNA Pol II factors, and RNA along the transcription unit stimulate transcription. (PMID:29719263)
- Data show that most of the cell lines which exhibited enhanced dependency on RNA guanine-7 methyltransferase (RNMT) harboured oncogenic mutations in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic 110-KD alpha (PI3Kalpha). (PMID:30991934)

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Catalytic subunit of the mRNA-capping methyltransferase RNMT:RAMAC complex that methylates the N7 position of the added guanosine to the 5’-cap structure of mRNAs. Binds RNA containing 5’-terminal GpppC.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with importin alpha, leading to stimulate both RNA-binding and methyltransferase activity. Interaction with importin alpha and beta is required for its nuclear localization, importin beta dissociating in response to RanGTP, allowing RNMT-importin alpha to bind RNA substrates. Interacts with elongating form of polymerase II and RNGTT. Interacts with RAMAC, this interaction significantly enhances RNA-binding and cap methyltransferase activity (PubMed:22099306, Ref.14).
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed.
Activity regulation. Methyltransferase activity is activated by RAMAC.
Similarity. Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. mRNA cap 0 methyltransferase family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 53 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.
