A methyltransferase-independent role for METTL1 in tRNA aminoacylation and oncogenic transformation Ali et al. report that multiple 12q-amplified genes collaborate with AKT in sarcomagenesis, including METTL1. This oncogenic function of METTL1 is independent of its methyltransferase activity. METTL1...
