YTHDF3 facilitates translation and decay of N6-methyladenosine-modified RNA
Open accessAbstract
N 6-methyladenosine (m 6 A) is the most abundant internal modification in eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs), and plays important roles in cell differentiation and tissue development. It regulates multiple steps throughout the RNA life cycle including RNA processing, translation, and decay, via the recognition by selective binding proteins. In the cytoplasm, m 6 A binding protein YTHDF1 facilitates translation of m 6 A-modified mRNAs, and YTHDF2 accelerates the decay of m 6 A-modified transcripts. The biological function of YTHDF3, another cytoplasmic m 6 A binder of the YTH (YT521-B homology) domain family, remains unknown. Here, we report that YTHDF3 promotes protein synthesis in synergy with YTHDF1, and affects methylated mRNA decay mediated through YTHDF2. Cells deficient in all three YTHDF proteins experience the most dramatic accumulation of m 6 A-modified transcripts. These results indicate that together with YTHDF1 and YTHDF2, YTHDF3 plays critical roles to accelerate metabolism of m 6 A-modified mRNAs in the cytoplasm. All three YTHDF proteins may act in an integrated and cooperative manner to impact fundamental biological processes related to m 6 A RNA methylation.

The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“m6A modifications in the 3′UTR are recognized by YTHDF2 to regulate mRNA degradation (Wang et al., 2014), while synergistic interactions between YTHDF1 and YTHDF3 allow recognition of m6A in the 3′UTR to facilitate translation (Wang and Roundtree, 2015; Shi et al., 2017).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
