Finally, future experiments will also be needed to determine whether BCDIN3D methylation and its RNA targets regulate other noncanonical functions of EPRS, such as the cellular responses to DNA damage (Park et al, 2005), IFN-γ (Sampath et al, 2004b), viral infection (Lee et al, 2016) and metabolic status (Arif et al, 2017). The gene discussed is EPRS1; the disease is viral infectious disease.
