Reading RNA methylation codes through methyl-specific binding proteins

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a prevalent modification of eukaryotic mRNAs. It regulates yeast cell fate and is essential to the development and fertility of metazoans. Although its presence in mRNA has been known since the early 1970s, the function of m6A remained a mystery until the spate of discoveries in the past three years. Here, we focus on the discovery of m6A “readers” (proteins that specifically recognize m6A), and their functions in tuning mRNA stability, as well as the broader significance of such m6A-dependent regulation of gene expression.
