TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a splicing/methylation factor that is a homologue to the mammalian VIRILIZER, is member of a core set of mRNA m6A writer proteins and is required for N6-adenosine methylation of mRNA. Analysis of transcriptional profiles of the vir-1 mutant suggests that VIR is likely involved in regulation of gene expression, but the function of VIR is rather general than specific and knock-down of VIR does not affect overall splicing rates. |
