Abstract excerpt
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) homeostasis is essential for development, and its dysregulation is linked to cancers and neurological disorders. However, the mechanisms regulating m6A remain unclear. Here, we identify the survival of motoneuron (SMN) protein as a novel interaction partner of METTL14, a key component of the m6A methyltransferase complex. SMN binds METTL14 via its Tudor domain in an arginine...
