Function

[MTA70_HUMAN] N6-methyltransferase that methylates adenosine residues of some RNAs and acts as a regulator of the circadian clock, differentiation of embryonic stem cells and primary miRNA processing. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which takes place at the 5'-[AG]GAC-3' consensus sites of some mRNAs, plays a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing, processing, translation efficiency, editing and mRNA stability (PubMed:22575960, PubMed:24284625, PubMed:25719671, PubMed:25799998, PubMed:26321680, PubMed:26593424, PubMed:9409616). M6A regulates the length of the circadian clock: acts as a early pace-setter in the circadian loop by putting mRNA production on a fast-track for facilitating nuclear processing, thereby providing an early point of control in setting the dynamics of the feedback loop (By similarity). M6A also acts as a regulator of mRNA stability: in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), m6A methylation of mRNAs encoding key naive pluripotency-promoting transcripts results in transcript destabilization, promoting differentiation of ESCs (By similarity). M6A also takes place in other RNA molecules, such as primary miRNA (pri-miRNAs) (PubMed:25799998). Mediates methylation of pri-miRNAs, marking them for recognition and processing by DGCR8 (PubMed:25799998).[UniProtKB:Q8C3P7]^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]} [MET14_HUMAN] N6-methyltransferase that methylates adenosine residues of some mRNAs and acts as a regulator of the circadian clock and differentiation of embryonic stem cells.
