N6-Methyladenosine (
m6A) reader; co-transcriptionally recruited to specific methylated mRNAs during meiotic prophase, facilitating protein synthesis and subsequent decay of
m6A modified transcripts, resulting in timely meiotic recombination; regulates PHO4 mRNA stability, binding to the 3'UTR in a phosphate-dependent manner; posttranscriptional regulator of phosphate and glucose metabolism; contains a conserved YTH domain with RNA-binding activity; human homolog YTHDF2 complements a null mutant
