Description | The YTH (YT521-B homology) domain has been suggested to be an evolutionarily conserved m6A-dependent RNA binding domain [ ]. Proteins containing this domain includes mammalian YTHD and YTDC proteins, Arabidopsis CPSF30 (At1g30460), budding yeast Pho92 and fission yeast Mmi1. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pho92 is a post-transcriptional regulator that regulates Pho4 mRNA stability by binding to the 3'-UTR in a phosphate-dependent manner. Its YTH domain exhibits RNA-binding activity [ ]. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Mmi1 has been identified as eliminating meiosis-specific mRNAs []. Rat YTHDC1 (also known as YT521-B) is an alternative splicing regulator that recognises and binds N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-containing RNAs. The YTH domain of YT521-B is a RNA-binding domain with a very degenerate sequence-specificity [ ]. |
