Function

MMI1_SCHPO RNA-binding protein that recognizes and binds N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-containing RNAs, a modification present at internal sites of mRNAs and some non-coding RNAs (By similarity). Required for elemination of certain meiosis-specific mRNAs in an early event following transcription. May bind to the cis-acting region (DSR) of the mRNA, activating the nuclear exosome which may lead to the degradation of the transcript from the 3' region (PubMed:16823445).[UniProtKB:Q06390]^[1]
