摘要: N 6 -Methyladenosine (m 6 A) is one of the most abundant modifications of eukaryotic mRNA, but its comprehensive biological functionality remains further exploration. In this study, we identified and characterized a new flowering -promoting gene, EARLY HEADING DATE6 ( EHD6 ), in rice. EHD6 encodes an RNA recognition motif (RRM)-containing RNA binding protein that is localized in the non -membranous cytoplasm ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules and can bind both m 6 A-modified RNA and unmodified RNA indiscriminately. We found that EHD6 can physically interact with YTH07, a YTH (YT521-B homology) domain -containing m 6 A reader. We showed that their interaction enhances the binding of an m 6 A-modified RNA and triggers relocation of a portion of YTH07 from the cytoplasm into RNP granules through phase -separated condensation. Within these condensates, the mRNA of a rice flowering repressor, CONSTANS-like 4 ( OsCOL4 ), becomes sequestered, leading to a reduction in its protein abundance and thus accelerated flowering through the Early heading date 1 pathway. Taken together, these results not only shed new light on the molecular mechanism of efficient m 6 A recognition by the collaboration between an RNA binding protein and YTH family m 6 A reader, but also uncover the potential for m 6 A-mediated translation regulation through phaseseparated ribonucleoprotein condensation in rice.
