Required for elemination of certain meiosis-specific mRNAs in an early event following transcription. May bind to the cis-acting region (DSR) of the mRNA, activating the nuclear exosome which may lead to the degradation of the transcript from the 3' region (PubMed:16823445).[UniProtKB:Q06390] Publication Abstract from PubMed The YTH domain-containing protein Mmi1, together with other factors, constitutes the machinery used to selectively remove meiosis-specific mRNA during the vegetative growth of fission yeast. Mmi1 directs meiotic mRNAs to the nuclear exosome for degradation by recognizing their DSR (determinant of selective removal) motif. Here, we present the crystal structure of the Mmi1 YTH domain in the apo state and in complex with a DSR motif, demonstrating that the Mmi1 YTH domain selectively recognizes the DSR motif. Intriguingly, Mmi1 also contains a potential m(6)A (N(6)-methyladenine)-binding pocket, but its binding of the DSR motif is dependent on a long groove opposite the m(6)A pocket. The DSR-binding mode is distinct from the m(6)A RNA-binding mode utilized by other YTH domains. Furthermore, the m(6)A pocket cannot bind m(6)A RNA. Our structural and biochemical experiments uncover the mechanism of the YTH domain in binding the DSR motif and help to elucidate the function of Mmi1. A novel RNA-binding mode of the YTH domain reveals the mechanism for recognition of determinant of selective removal by Mmi1.,Wang C, Zhu Y, Bao H, Jiang Y, Xu C, Wu J, Shi Y Nucleic Acids Res. 2016 Jan 29;44(2):969-82. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkv1382.
