FunctionYTDC1_HUMAN RNA-binding protein that regulates alternative splice site selection.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedN6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification of nearly all eukaryotic mRNAs and has recently been reported to be recognized by the YTH domain family proteins. Here we present the crystal structures of the YTH domain of YTHDC1, a member of the YTH domain family, and its complex with an m6A-containing RNA. Our structural studies, together with transcriptome-wide identification of YTHDC1-binding sites and biochemical experiments, not only reveal the specific mode of m6A-YTH binding but also explain the preferential recognition of the GG(m6A)C sequences by YTHDC1.
