m6A modification of a 3′ UTR site reduces RME1 mRNA levels to promote meiosis
Ime4p is a yeast N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase with an unknown role in meiosis. Rme1p is a repressor of meiosis. Here the authors show that Ime4p methylates RME1 3′ UTR to reduce its expression and enable meiosis, thus providing an example of an m6A site with a physiological role.
